I didn't watch all of this, but flicked through the episode.  Is his 90% show about politics and Trump normally?

 

He covers Trump less than John Oliver, Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel, but I would say about half his stuff is Trump-related...current administration-related.  That being said, he takes the Democrats equally to task, and was completely non-partisan when pushing all Congressmen to pass a bill extending full health coverage to 9/11 veterans suffering from radiation exposure and other risks as first responders.  Cheers!

Then whole Europe, - basically - is suffering from TDS, @73 Reds, -what do you think about that?

 

 

Like Trump, I think many MAGA supporters think most of the world has no issues with Trump or his policies.  How can you be mad at such a loveable leader?!  Cheers!

Not saying that's a good thing, but it happens in every state:

This stuff certainly happens, and always will happen...people will always try and find a way to game the system.  But in terms of fair/equitable elections, I don't think the proof of fraud has been substantial enough to change the legitimacy of the results...certainly not in the last three elections which have been heavily scrutinized!  It happens, tighten the rules, but forget the bullshit fear-mongering, conspiracy shit that undermines the elections.  You are not some banana republic!  Cheers!

Why can't Trump just stick to the funny stuff, like posting pictures of himself as AI Jesus? That is so funny. The Iran war is not funny.

Maybe China can find a way to manufacture some brain cells and send em our way.

The Saudi’s are nuking up. It’s inevitable as everyone realizes, they need nuclear deterrence. The Saudi’s have a defense pact with Pakistan which likely gives them access to nuclear tech.

New tariffs :

 

Reuters - World [July 24^th 2026] : Trump imposes forced labor duties on 60 trading partners as 10% US tariffs expire

 

Bullet points - Summary :

• White House imposes tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on 60 trading partners,
• Trump administration cites unfair trade practices statute to impose levies,
• New duties cover 99.4% of all U.S. imports, but many goods are exempt,
• Trade partners say new tariffs unjustified.

From the article :

 

Quote

... The U.S. imposed a 10% duty on goods of Argentina, Bangladesh, Britain, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago.

 

The European Union, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland were assigned rates that, combined with pre-existing most-favored-nation tariff rates, totaled 10% or 12.5%.

 

The other 38 countries were assigned a 12.5% rate. These include Vietnam, which issued a new decree this week that sets out more detailed rules banning imports of goods made with forced labor, and China - accused by the U.S. of detaining Uyghur minorities in work camps, which Beijing denies. ...

So :

 

EU countries [whining and complaining] : 'You can't just do that - it's the same tariffs that just ran off, but just with yet another, different explation that is invalid! -Because we actually do have active forced labor import bans in place, up and running!'

 

POTUS : 'It doesen't matter... - I just do it anyway!'

 

- - - o 0 o - - -

 

What to say?   ... - Thank God - at least it's Friday!

 

Charlies [ @dealrakers ] comments about POTUS keeping control over the narrative, and @changegonnacome calling POTUS 'Captain Chaos' just comes to mind!

You can’t trust Trump.  Think his deal breaking had been clear for a while.  He just does what he wants.  He’s legitimately a bit manic.

 

Thanks, @Sweet,

 

Yeah, in short.

 

One thing I would like to hear my fellow American CofB&F members about is if this is being considered political suicide or not, related to the mid terms, for POTUS to continue down this path.
