Well that's Kellog out of a job then

Trump will no doubt accuse him of being a cereal liar.

From the BBC. Trump on Fox News Pod.

Donald Trump says France's Emmanuel Macron and UK PM Keir Starmer "haven't done anything" to end the war in Ukraine, ahead of visits from both leaders to the White House next week

Speaking to Fox News, the US president also says Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky has "no cards" in peace negotiations, adding: "I don't think he's very important to be in meetings"

Hopefully moving away from America will mean don't have American media rammed down our throats 24/7.

American arms imports to Europe are worth 24 Billion and support jobs in Texas, Florida and Arkansas.

We as Europeans now need to not only fund our militaries but our military industrial complexes too. All the weapons bar 5th generation fighters can be made here or in South Korea and are more reliable than the unstable mess America has become.

We are on our own now so let's make the most of it.

I had a little sympathy the first time Trump got elected and people who could claim they were duped. I have zero sympathy now, Trump IS representative of America now and America is basically full of a bunch of moronic, hateful, selfish fuckwits. We cannot simply hope to wait it out for 4 years, that huge segment of the populace are still there and will still vote for the next MAGA arsehole to replace Trump.

We have to recognise that the USA as a whole is no longer a trusted ally nor are it's people even fans of the basic aspects of democracy any more.

With luck the repubs will get hammered in the mid terms and some sanity will be restored.

It isn't just Trump, after America re-elected that fcukwit Dubya I didn't think they could sink any lower. But re-electing an absolute moron like Trump even "Trumps" that. And after Jan 6th and condoning that America has lost its moral authority and leadership of the world.

Very worrying times….

So, Elon Sucks has emailed all Federal workers and asked them to list 5 things they achieved last week.

The email address has been circulated widely online and as Elon is now technically a federal worker I'm tempted to reply to the email and claim I spent the week off my face on Ketamine, posting on twitter, throwing nazi salutes, sacking nuclear security staff, and paying people to get me further on games and sign it off as Elon.

Might do one for Trump too.

I kind of feel Frankie Boyle summed up these types of people. You see the choices they make, the horrific, hurtful, spiteful choices and you just have to wonder what in their life hurt them so much, they feel justified in their actions.

Has Trump kept his day one promises?

It's been a busy first month, with a blizzard of activity, so we compare his pledges with what he has delivered.
