Imagine the response if Hunter Biden had said that.

All the Trumps collectively would be erecting scaffolds to hang him publicly for treason and seditious conspiracy

We all knew they were indifferent previously but this has taken it to a whole new level. This is from a person with no official position within the government but could be interpreted as a line from his father with his angry rantings

Probably a coked up episode

Just hang out on in far right-alt groups and you'll realise they have become more emboldened.

Stating outwardly they want "Trump to be Emperor" and "Gay and Trans to be eliminated or thrown out"

Don't believe the "so called centrists" that frequent these boards; they're probably looking for new recruits to their cult.

Trump inc hunting down bigfooty. Should be worth a look

Eric Trump is less terrifying than Cale Morton.

It's not Eric promising what he will do, it's Eric letting people know what the President of the US, the Secretary of Defense, the secretary of the Justice department et al, will do.

Do not let the messenger fool you.

25% tariff on Columbia for hurt feelings about them asking America to not be sending military planes into their airspace with no warning

How’s the egg prices going MAGA?

A trade war with Colombia? Thoughts and prayers for Don Jnr.

Just read that on Twitter President Petro posted a retaliation of a 50% tariffs on all fruits exported to America.

Ahh, Eric Trump, who, in a family of idiots, is still known as the Dumb Trump.

And apparently this has all been stopped and Columbia are going to now take the deported. Which sorted makes me feel like it will be the same agreement that Biden was using with the 124 planes in 2024 that went back to Columbia.

But we know MAGA going to go and claim it as a victory for Trump because they would be unaware of the existing agreement.

All this drama over the use of military planes into their airspace

Just madness and it’s only been a week

Of course but I can still can mock him.

If you want a bit of insight into how absolutely f***ed the media landscape is in the US at the moment, I'd recommend having a look at the coverage of this Colombia fiasco from Fox News and CNN.

Fox is going hard with the narrative that Colombia immediately backed down after Trump announced his 25% tariffs, CNN is went in strong on Colombia rejecting the flights to stand up to Trump and is now going all in on the retaliatory tariffs from Colombia.

All this to say, it's absolutely impossible to get a bias-free version of anything happening right now in the US.

It's truly dreadful the media landscape that barracks for a team

Epic response from the Colombian President Gustavo Petro.



Translated below:

Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and MillerI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country

I don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom.You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid.

They are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else.Overthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond.

Colombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs.

My land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete.

You will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us.

Our people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered.

I raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA,

Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness.

FROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY.

I am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same.

Let our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world

I would counter than by the general public knowing what was at stake and project 2025 beforehand and they still couldn’t make the “sacrifice” to muster up the effort to vote

No I don’t give them a pass

It can’t be Biden and Harris who failed. The voters failed them.

What a winning takeaway message.

I'm sorry but I'll say it again - blaming the American people for not getting out to vote and saying it cost the Democrats the election is not only misplaced blame but shows a fundamental misunderstanding of both the US electoral system AND recent US Presidential election voting history.

In 2016 Trump won the Electoral College, and the presidency, thanks to Wisconsin and two other traditionally Democratic states, Pennsylvania and Michigan. It was just 78,000 votes in those three states - out of the 128.8 million votes cast nationally, that secured his victory. That 78,000-vote difference in those three states gave Trump the presidency even though, in the total popular vote across the country, Hilary Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3 million votes!!

How do you reckon the average democrat working class voter in the US feels when, after hard days work on a weekday, in the middle of a cold and blizzard racked winters night they take the time to line up for hours to cast a vote in the north east states, to see that happen?

Do you reckon that might just blunt their enthusiasm to do it all again just 8 years later? In the face of a Democratic campaign that stumbled and sputtered for months before finally deciding on replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris as their Presidential candidate?

I get that everyone wants someone to blame for Trump's second victory. But blaming large numbers of average working class voters in the US for not being able or willing to get out and vote, for whatever reason, in a system that is so horribly stacked against them in so many parts of the country (as outlined in my previous post) and in the light of a fundamentally flawed, poorly targeted and arrogant Democrat campaign (bearing in mind that a large part of the Trump vote was the relatively poorly educated working class), is just lazy and wrong in fact.

A popular St Kilda venue has come under fire after it threatened to kick out a regular patron if he refused to take off his red Donald Trump MAGA cap.
Xxxxxxx45, was celebrating a friend’s birthday at Captain Baxter on Australia Day when he was approached by the venue manager and told to remove the cap which famously reads ‘Make American Great Again’.

“I rocked up at 5.30pm, sat down at a table and probably 10 minutes in the venue manager came up to me and said ‘I need you to remove your hat’,” Mr xxxxxx told the Herald Sun.

we need a poll which bf poster is it?
