Trump's Second Term

[Gulliver Foyle]

I think they might have got Uganda about right, but as for the rest, it's not just that they've mislabelled them, there aren't even countries marked in the right place or of the right shape.

Can you do better than the U.S. State Department?

The quality of the slide is bad enough that it's hard to make a comparison, but Uganda is the wrong shape and a couple of hundred miles too far north. Real Uganda is centred around Lake Victoria whereas the State Deparment seems to be putting most of the country north or east of Lake Turkana in Kenya and Ehtiopia.

Check out the Côte d'Ivoire

If you look at the colour coding rather than the labels, it is at least on the correct coast, but too far east.

You know how you'd feel things were going in some banana republic when El Presidente calls up the army reserves to put troops on the streets of the capital, and then later decides to make that emergency measure permanent.

This is fine.

My first thought was "looks like Trump wants to insure he can rely on more/better than ICE goons for protection when he'll declare he's not going to move from the White House in January 2029".
Just like any tinpot "Maréchal-Président-for-life" in most banana republics has ever done.

It must be getting rather uncomfortable sitting on that fence so much. You probably have hemorrhoids by now.

Considering how America prides itself on it's "Can Do" Attitude, American conservatives seem to spend all their time saying "Can't Do That".

The US army are using the people of Washington as human shields! We know only bad countries have barracks for soldiers and military offices in towns and military who live with their families are using them as human shields.

Moreno on Fox: I asked Anthony Fauci to turn around and look at the people he harmed and just apologize. He would not even look at them. That's how despicable this guy is. So for the attorneys out there, sue this guy. This guy cannot stay free.

Why are the words 'Epstein Victims' springing to mind?

And you opinion of Voting by Mail.

Define proper Democracy.
Yes, in the US we do not do things the way the Europeans do. And I am not sure the Europaen model would work in the US.

There isn't a single way of doing elections in the countries that are in the continent that is known as Europe.

Sure. Somebody else should definitely do something. Somebody who's not going to be you should try to convince a court of something.

Considering the staggering range of abominable crimes Fauci has been accused of in the last couple of days, it's astonishing that absolutely none of these shrill accusers can come up with a single thing which would stand up in court for a nanosecond.

Exactly. And it's not just Western Europe. Australia, New Zealand and Canada would also tend to have functioning elections. And those countries have very isolated rural populations

US President Donald Trump says he is considering withdrawing Todd Blanche's nomination to be attorney general as his confirmation appears stalled in the Senate.

Blanche, who has been acting in the role since April, needs the support of all Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation to advance.

However, two senators - John Cornyn from Texas and North Carolina's Thom Tillis, whose terms both expire in January - are withholding theirs over the status of a controversial fund to compensate Trump allies.

"I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office," Trump said.

Trump considers pulling Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination as senators hold out

The nomination is stalled, with two senators asking for assurances that a fund to compensate Trump allies will be ended permanently.

John Cornyn never had a problem with the so called "Fund," which will not benefit me, but rather the great American Patriots who were hunted down like dogs and whose lives were unfairly and illegally destroyed by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, until after I decided to Endorse and Support his Republican Primary opponent in Texas, who easily won the Nomination for the United States Senate.
Perhaps there has never been a group of people treated so badly in our Nation's history. They are suffering still, many ruined, and I felt that they should be given compensation for what has been done to them.
I gave up any payments for myself, which would have been substantial, including for the illegal and unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, my home in Florida, even though many legal experts, and others, including John Cornyn, said it was a shocking and disgusting display of "weaponization" against me.
Such an event has never happened before, and hopefully will never happen again! I will always feel that these victims of government abuse should be paid back for what they were forced to endure, their lives have been ruined!
Millions of people agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate, and so did John Cornyn, until he lost his Election to an opponent that I Endorsed.
Todd Blanche, a good man, should be immediately approved as U.S. Attorney General.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Oh noes, white (mostly male) racist insurrectionists have been forced to have consequences (for a very short while)
That's way way worse than slavery, jim crow laws, the treatment of native americans.
