REPORTER: What have you learned about not just the exercise of power but the limits on your power as a result of the conflict?

TRUMP: There are no limits.

Guardian: U.S. Military Strike in Somalia Killed 12 Civilians, Including 8 Children (Democracy Now!, June 17, 2026)
The Guardian newspaper has revealed a U.S. strike in Somalia last November killed at least 12 civilians, including eight children and a pregnant woman. Despite the high civilian death toll, The Guardian reports the U.S. military neither opened an investigation nor publicly acknowledged that civilians were killed. Since returning to office, President Trump has waged a largely secret war in Somalia, bombing the country at an unprecedented rate. Last year, the U.S. carried out 123 airstrikes in Somalia — more than double the previous record.

You didn't say "Zero integrity left in that joke of a country" or that Republicans had zero integrity, true. The person that I was responding to in what you took exception to did say exactly the words that I quoted, though, and that is what I had been objecting to.

Republicans certainly can be honorable. The Republican Party is overwhelmingly not, though, especially at present, given how Republicans choose their politicians and what their politicians do all the time.
 
it's basic resistance strategy against a narcist, authoritarian regime to make them waste resources on minor annoyances.
86-47 is rather clever in that, as it is short, to the point, almost certainly never considered by a Jury to be an actual call for violence but at the same time impossible to ignore by the Trump Posse.
 
Trump does not tie his tie knot. But the tie knot person is very consistent with it. It's a half windsor but tightened so it is not bulky looking. Not the bulky knot that Kash does.

Trump told La7 tv that apparently “Meloni begged to have a picture with me at the G7, I felt sorry for her”.

Meloni’s scathing response: “I am shocked by Trump’s utterly fabricated words. I am sorry he doesn’t show the same determination against the enemies of the West. And bear in mind: me and Italy never beg”.

“I am frankly appalled,” she said. “I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies.”

Oh, I think you do know why, we certainly do.
