Trump's Second Term

State Department claims U.S. will have free passage through Panama Canal. Panama replies "WUT??"

Panama denies US claims over free canal passages

Panama has denied making changes to allow US government vessels to transit the Panama Canal for free, following White House claims it had agreed to such a move.

The State Department said in a statement on X that its government vessels "can now transit the Panama Canal without charge fees, saving the US government millions of dollars a year".

Responding to the comments, the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) said it was "empowered to set tolls and other fees for transiting the canal," adding that it had "not made any adjustments to them".

Somebody's lying, and we know who it is.

Absolutely! It practically goes without saying that the rights of a small number of trans women supersede the rights of biological females!

Liberals Outraged As Trump Says Men Can't Punch Women In The Face For Sport

You're right! It was only 900 medals according to the United Nations. That's almost four times better!

Great!
So the very few men willing to undergo a sex change operation in order to maybe win at women's sports are now prohibited from doing so!
And it will only cost the rights of all those transgenders who wish to be accepted as they are AND all women's reproductive rights in the US.

the biggest win for women ever, they can return to their natural state in the US, subordinate to men.

I can’t decide which is worse: that the president of the U.S. is either the most naive person on the planet, the stupidest, or the biggest conman.

Also, why do I sense a mangy orange mutt sniffing at the fire hydrant outside the Nobel Foundation?

As it should be. Anyone who has gone through male puberty should not be allowed to compete in women's sports.

That's incoherent and irrational.

I will repeat my assertion that Trump is no more than a babbling, mindless, dissolute sock-puppet operated by the law-disdainng authors of Project 2025 in the shadows. Donny is useful now only as a humourous distraction, and as a rhinocerous-skinned lightning rod for global ire.

To shut Trump down, first his faceless minions need to be removed. They are actually an easier target than the SCOTUS-shielded toad rectum personally. Without them, Trump becomes just a cartoon caricature.

Start with Musk. Arrest him and his "team" for break and enter of government properties and theft of government data. I understand that can lead to sentences of many years in jail. Their actions need to be researched and evaluated, followed by appropriate trials, convictions and sentencing. Sure, they will be pardoned. But Trump’s pardon power extends only to sentences, not to the trials and public shaming.

A state like California could arrest him, or an armed forces unit still loyal to the nation. A week or so later he can be found in a ditch, shot while trying to escape. Next go after somebody like Hegseth, then RFK Jnr, then Ivanka. Shortly thereafter, the nazis will start abandoning Trampy in droves because,unlikd the originals, they're a bunch of cowards with no sense of courage, either collective or individual.
 
Yes, will the new truth be the Young Earth Creationist age of the earth or the Old Earth Creationists age? I wonder which current sect of Christianity in the USA will be declared the correct one?
 
Lots of claims that celebrities where paid millions by USAIDS to have pictures taken with Zelenski
Ben Stiller $4 million, Sean Penn$5 million and Angelina Jolie $20 million.
Altogether celebs got over $40,000,000 to pretend to support Ukraine.

Daily Mail are repeating it.

Stiller says

"These are lies coming from Russian media. I completely self-funded my humanitarian trip to Ukraine. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no payment of any kind."

Obviously those posting the claims say Stiller is telling lies.

All the evidence so far seems to lead back to Russia Today as the source of the claims. MAGAts don't seem to care.

That's certainly a popular opinion. Donald Trump might very well be just the designated jester, intended only to distract from more sinister operations and to exhaust the nation's capacity for outrage.


But Trump will just pardon whomever he's told to pardon.


It's not as easy as that, since Musk is arguably acting under color of law. He is a designated "special government employee," and as such has authority granted by the President. However, that doesn't mean he is authorized to do some of the things he has attempted, since those are controlled by laws passed by Congress. Neither the President nor anyone else in the administration can simply ignore the law. The terms of government service in any capacity hinge upon the power granted. Not every federal employee or appointee requires Senate confirmation, but there are laws preventing the ad hoc wielding of power without a suitable office (and possibly confirmation requirement) attached. Congress exactly foresaw a President's desire to evade Congressional oversight by creative hiring and appointment.


A pardon can be granted any time after the operative offense is committed and may forestall a trial. If the perpetrators are not shamed by the behavior itself, it is unlikely they will be shamed by public response to their behavior.

There is no law any more, just the dictats of Trampy and his subordinates (who are writing the dictats). The US has entered the worst days of a Nero or a Caligula, and nobody in politics is willing to stand against it.

Both correct of course. If only one was correct then that would mean the other was wrong and that would be illegal anti-Christian bias. Newthink is the future.

Project 2025 has made quite clear what is going to happen to women's rights in the US. And given the haste with which Trump is implementing key components soon women will lose whatever rights they have gained since the 60's, probably more.
