Time to regret

This is what pushed them over the edge. An AI depiction of Trump as Jesus Christ.

Not the illegal ICE kidnappings and separation of families. Not the state-sanctioned murders of America citizens. Not the everyday corruption and insider trading. Not the Venezuela incursion. Not the repeated late night social media rants of a demented despot. Not the rising petrol price. Not the constant BS at the press conferences. Not the nonsense of the tariffs and the cost to American people. Not the demolition of the East Wing of the White House. Not the insidious slide towards dictatorship. Not the desperate pandering to Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Not the war on Iran. Not the bombing of the girls’ school and the deaths of 120 schoolchildren. Not the 38,000 times he’s mentioned in the Epstein Files.

Nope.

It was the fact that he published that image above that upset them.

And that really is all you need to know about Trump’s supporters.

I mentioned before about how delighted I was at everyone’s refusal to step in and help bail Donald “Orange Arsehole” Trump out of the mess that he’s got himself, his country, and now the entire world into. My thoughts were mainly around Europe in that post, but news has come in that he is now throwing his toys out of the playpen because Japan are allegedly withholding their secret weapon and won’t commit to sending it… er… him to the Middle East.

The thing is, life and politics and the internet are now just so weird, and Trump is so epically stupid, that you could actually imagine this might have been a genuine request and that he is genuinely upset about it being denied. He’s probably still pissed off that King Kong didn’t somehow prevent 9/11.

Which is exactly why we find ourselves in this whole horrific situation (Trump’s stupidity, not the big ape/World Trade Center thing).

What a difference a week made…

…168 little hours.

March 8th 2026: Don’t send warships.

March 14th 2026: Send warships.

Flip flopping like a fish out of water. And hopefully expiring just as quickly.

I’m no big fan of Iran or their leadership, and no big fan of the UK PM either*, but I’m right with Starmer on his stance on this issue so far. Just as Iran has gradually isolated itself from its neighbours, so Trump is now doing exactly the same with the US’s allies. And I’m glad that so many leaders are showing him a diplomatic middle finger and choosing not to be a contributor in this unholy mess he’s made and continues to make.

The sad thing is that this is a global issue. No matter whether you choose to support the Israeli and US action in the Middle East or you choose to condemn it (or anywhere in between), we’re all affected by the decisions of this dementia-ridden bag of poorly painted skin.

And never in a good way.

Don’t get distracted

With Prince Andrew being arrested this week over his connections with Jeffrey Epstein (although not for that, but who knows where the ongoing investigations may lead), suddenly someone is panicking and pulling out all of the stops in order to distract the world from his connections with Jeffrey Epstein (which certainly do involve that).

Look, I get that “Actually, yes, aliens do exist” is pretty big news, but my first thought was: “Wow. Does he really think that I can only manage to think about one thing at a time?”, but then I remembered that that’s probably true for most of the people that voted for him, and so this is probably something of a master stoke from the Cheeto Cheater.

Epstein Files OUT

X-Files IN

I happen to also think that the current President of the United States sexually abusing young girls on a private island over a period of several years is also fairly important, and I really believe that we shouldn’t let the big orange man let the little green men distract us from that.

OK?

Let’s not forget…

All the calls for Canada as the 51st State, the actions of the state-sponsored militias running around Minnesota (and beyond), the rambling speech mixing up Greenland and Iceland, and the persisting sabre-rattling about the alleged necessity of the annexation of the former “for security reasons“, are merely a smokescreen to try to make us forget about… well…

…you know what.

And since we’re on that subject, let me remind you of an old Russian joke that seems to have resurfaced recently.
I can’t imagine why.

Every morning, a guy stops at the same newsagent and picks up the newspaper, looks at the front page, and then puts the paper back down without buying it.

One day the vendor asks what he’s doing.

The man tells him that he’s looking for an obituary.

The vendor says “Those are at the back of the paper, Comrade.”

The man replies, “Not the one I’m looking for.”

It’s really just who goes first: him or the planet.
