Narcissist dynamics. A celebrity exercises power and control by criticising me. I must reclaim power and control by retaliating and attacking the source of their power.

Well, when in Rome… …too soon?

He’ll be shocked, shocked I tell you, when he finds out that pharmaceuticals raise prices in every country to US levels and nothing changes for Americans.

The issue there is that Trump is not a 3 year old struggling to regulate his emotions a bit. He’s a malignant narcissist. Someone choosing to directly confront one of those better have an escape route planned, because there will almost certainly be a retaliation. Is it worth the risk of losing...

In theory. In practice, Christians are often more bloodthirsty and militant than average. In the US, that means higher than average gun ownership. No matter how much someone might argue it’s for self-defence, it’s hardly turning the other cheek. I could go on, but this isn’t the right thread...

Trump’s Old Testament values are right up their street, with the prophetic judgments, the commandments (“thou shalt not buy from foreign lands”) and the promise of rampant smiting.

I like the way he thanks himself in the third person at the end there. The meds are wearing off again.

I doubt we’ve even seen the full impact of the tariffs on these numbers yet. This is just a pre-tremor.

“Do they get due process?” “They get a process” :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Right, so they’ll deny (to themselves) the reality that prices have gone up due to tariffs. Blaming the retailers will be a comfortable alternative. It was the same with Brexit. Economic damage/lack of progress on a deal was the fault of (depending on day of the week), the EU, Remoaners, Lefty...

Amazon knows that post-tariff shipments will start hitting American shores soon and there’s going to be a backlash against retailers by MAGA folk too dumb to realise why their prices have just gone sky high.

Which would give the lie to previous comments (or was it Vance?) about delayed local elections here. That’s not significant in the grand scheme of things but it’s another example of his bullshit exposing itself.

This was my source for that, if it helps.

I’ve heard similar, that we’re reliant on the US to supply and maintain the missiles, but not the subs or the warheads.

I don’t think NATO has any mechanism for expelling members. A nation can signal its intention to leave by notifying the United States to trigger a 12 month departure timeline. Which raises the intriguing possibility that at some point Trump announces that the US already left the club by telling...

The anger is apparent.

Nothing new in this but it’sa good summation of the man and moron. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/25/ukraine-donald-trump-true-identity-vandal-autocrat-gangster-fool

Only Trump thinks they’re buddies. Putin knows Trump is an incompetent buffoon that he can use and manipulate to his own ends.

There’s a lot of overlap in that venn diagram. But it’s apt in its own way. MAGA is a political personality cult with Trump as its all-powerful deity. They’re conditioned to suspend rational thinking and view any external contradiction or criticism as an existential threat.

As a precautionary measure, I’d like to preemptively announce that I have not at any point received war plans or classified information from Pickled Pete Hegseth. Seems every other bugger has. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/20/pete-hegseth-signal-chat-yemen-attack
