Doesn’t want to be questioned about all his Russian connections (he had his own programme on Russian TV) or about where he gets the kind of money that can buy expensive houses outright (while he avoids paying tax).

If #Trump is given the #NobelPrize for peach tomorrow, I hope all current and past recipients, of all Nobel prizes, return thiers because they are now plainly worthless.

The dictator starts a war to end it and claims he's a peacemaker.

Ah, Nick Clegg. That non-entity who bent over to be buttfucked by Cameron & the Tories so he could have a seat at the grown-ups table.

Now he's letting the AI industry rodger him so he can be relevant again.

Ah, another play from the Trump playbook. Call for shows/presenters to be cancelled/fired who opposed/make fun of them.

This is what Trump wants, it would give him the excuse to go in with the military, martial law, everything.

The vast majority of the country has no idea how out of control ICE is right now. Yes, there's reporting on ICE raids and protests, but most people are not seeing photos and videos of horrific incidents like this, or the apartment building raid.

If most people did know they'd be horrified.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Pam Bondi was chosen as Attorney General because of her long experience covering up for pedophiles.As Florida AG she did nothing about Epstein. No one knows more about covering up Epstein Gang crimes than Bondi. Trump knew Epstein would haunt his presidency and Bondi would protect him #ProudBlue

Moronic #Trump and his Republican lackeys just making shit up...

They've merged an old photo with a new one. So the man so fond of screaming "Fake News" is now making it.

Big give away in the pic apparently are the fuel prices in the background of the pic.

The "insurrection" photo they're using is so old the donut shop has a sign advertising their payphone.

Shame on CNN for pushing the false impression that Trump's bullshit claims of violent insurrection have ANY validity.

CNN @cnn.com · 4d

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

Wait, so the latest demented #Trump claim is that he warned Secretary of Defence....sorry War...Pete Hegseth about Osama Bin Laden months before 9/11.

Hegseth was 21 and still at Princeton in 2001

Can’t believe the Irish tried a version of UBI, found it worked, and decided to keep it rather than commission another study.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
