It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

I wonder why Trump always includes Obama’s middle name when he talks about Obama he says his middle name constantly but never anyone else’s middle name, why doesn’t Trump say Joe Robinette Biden and Hillary Rodham Clinton rather than just Barack Hussein Obama, could it just be racism?
Trump: "Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader. Hillary Clinton was right there with him & so was Sleepy Joe Biden, Comey, Clapper. They tried to rig an election & they got caught. And then they did rig the election in 2020. And then because I knew I won that election by a lot, I did it a 3rd time"

Has Trump just breached the only trade deal he struck?

At the time, British PM Starmer described the deal as one that "will remove tariffs on British steel and aluminium, reducing them to zero."

Yet Trump just announced that they'll get a 25% tariff.

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Increases Section 232 Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum
COUNTERING TRADE PRACTICES THAT UNDERMINE NATIONAL SECURITY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Proclamation to increase the tariff to 50% on steel

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?

I suppose President Biden’s critcial interview about Trump does “break with previous former Presidential convention” if you just ignore the orange hulk who spent 4yrs criticising Biden fiercely, repeated his “stolen election” lies and claimed Biden was responsible for his convictions.

“Starmer needs to start governing. Labour need to stop triangulating and start running the country. They are wasting the term they were given, worrying about a second one. They can do a lot of good, if they stop being terrified of losing power in 2029 and start using the power they have in 2025.”

Labour has a bad day at the polls, on a week its sister party in Australia scores a rout, following the Canadian example.

Can Starmer learn the right lessons for once?

I do hope European leaders understand what is happening here. Trump and Putin are carving up Ukraine and making fundamental decisions on the future of Europe--and not a single European leader is taking part in the call.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.
