President Trump

As far as I can tell, the other possibilities are (a) some form of mega-grift for the Trump empire (I don't think he'd have any compunction selling his country down the river for gain) (b) he really is as dumb as a stick and everyone around him is too.

That the Russians have significant leverage in the WH does seem like the simplest explanation at this point.

(a) doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive to Kompromat.

It's a fact and I don't care what thought exercise some sad act wants to engage in to try and deny it.

Putting aside all the other disgusting shit that Trump is and represents as an individual, he has been a Russian asset since before his first presidency. It's the whole reason he got into that position. The specific mechanics and processes of how it came to be a reality are all secondary to that.

ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED
Referring to himself Trump has posted:
“Long live the king.”
 
Just listened to In Our Time on Radio 4 discussing Oliver Goldsmith and his great poem The Deserted Village - a warning about where Trump & his ilk are taking us all:

Thou nurse of every virtue, fare thee well!
Farewell, and O where'er thy voice be tried,
On Torno's cliffs, or Pambamarca's side,
Whether were equinoctial fervours glow,
Or winter wraps the polar world in snow,
Still let thy voice, prevailing over time,
Redress the rigours of the inclement clime;
Aid slighted truth with thy persuasive strain,
Teach erring man to spurn the rage of gain;
Teach him, that states of native strength possest,
Tho' very poor, may still be very blest;
That trade's proud empire hastes to swift decay,
As ocean sweeps the labour'd mole away;
While self-dependent power can time defy,
As rocks resist the billows and the sky.

Yes, That's true everywhere. I just consider the legal system an arm of the government. Its the srm of government that settles disputes and mets out punishments for failures to uphold laws created by a different part of the government. (Presumably, the parliament in your system).

Here, the government is one arm of the state, the other two being parliament and the judiciary (so the government is the executive branch, the two Houses of Parliament the legislative).

Your judiciary has more power than ours does.

So what happens if a judge passes down to Trump what he’s doing is illegal and he says fuck it? You’ve given far too much power to one man and it’s coming home to roost now, I await the jack boots and swastikas to appear on a parade down 5th Avenue soon.

Hopefully he'll either overdose at some point or he'll be :taken out'. He must be on something he's much too lively for a man of his age to be not on something iffy.

A couple of years ago he couldn't fucking walk properly, now apart from golfing breaks he never seems to sleep.

The world damage (which was in a pretty shit state to start with) he's caused in what a month or so will already take decades to repair and that's not even touching the economic worries, fuck knows what will be the end game in his eyes. Europe could even end up fighting them.

It's a potentially very scary few years ahead for the sane people in the world.

It's frankly incredibly he's where he is given the lack of exercise and shitty diet.

I guess having your own team of private doctors does count for something.

Hopefully Trump and Murdoch are both dead in the next 5 years. The world will be in a much better place without them.

Don't think that will go down well with your average American especially with how much they love going on about their freedom from the British Empire and no monarchy. Won't be long before Dax says it is a joke and he is just trolling the left. Like that is something a fucking rational world leader should be doing.

Terrible, yes?

The Trumpland Diary​

Let me give everyone one quick example of why Elon and his pack of flying monkeys at DOGE aren't quite the savvy tech geniuses playing 4D chess MAGA seems to think. They're more like a bunch of idiots playing checkers with rocks, bottle caps, and some saltine crackers the high schoolers keep nibbling on.

Here's how the idiocy began:
1. A wanna-be political influencer named Mario Nawfal went over to USASpending.gov and uncovered what he THOUGHT was a $9M contract between the Department of Defense (DOD) and Reuters (the news outlet) for a nefarious psy-op.
Nawfal then tweets out to his 44 million followers: "DOGE investigations reveal mysterious Defense Department payments to Reuters for "large scale social deception" project between 2018-2022."

2. Elon Musk sees Nawfal's tweet, reads it, doesn't bother to double check the story about what HIS OWN department is doing, and shares it to his 218 million followers.

3. Donald Trump reads Elon's tweet, and "truths" it out to his [sad] 9 million followers on Truth* Social, calling out the "Radical Left Reuters" and demanding they give back the money!!!
Here's WHY it's 9 levels beyond idiotic:
If you go to the USASpending.gov website (which Nawfal actually provides a screenshot of), you can plainly see the contract in question is between the DOD and "Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC."
REUTERS is a news outlet.
THOMSON REUTERS SPECIAL SERVICES is a cyber security firm ( https://www.trssllc.com/ )
Other than having the name "Reuters" in common, these businesses are different entities to each other.

"Okay, Shane, but then why did the DOD give THOMSON REUTERS a $9M contract for some 'large scale social deception'?!? Why is the DOD paying ANYONE—even if they're not a media outlet—to engage in 'large scale social deception?'"
THEY DIDN'T!
Look at the ENTIRE line item Mario Nawfal took a screenshot of:
ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE (ASED) LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION (LSD)
Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC is a cyber security firm that was contracted by the DOD to provide cyber DEFENSE AGAINST "large scale social deception."

This contract DOGE "uncovered" doesn't involve in any way the media outlet they're naming. They got confused because 2 different companies have the same name. And the actual contract they're freaking out about does the exact OPPOSITE of what they're claiming it does.

I see my error now. What you call 'the state' is what i think of as the government. Not just the politicians.
