The world is a much more dangerous place now, all because Trump sold a bunch of lies to politically illiterate rednecks and hillbillies. First, he told them the Mexicans would build a great, big, beautiful wall and pay for it. And that never happened. The amazing thing is the knuckle draggers who voted for Trump… Continue reading Trump has shown you can fool enough of the people

Trump’s poll numbers
It’s truly shocking that Trump has acted like an autocrat for his first two weeks in office and his poll rankings have skyrocketed. It has been said that he is ruling like a king because he is too weak to rule like a President. But the poll numbers, people? What do Americans want? I have… Continue reading Trump’s poll numbers
A video essay about Trump that’s worth a look
I watched a great video essay about Trump’s first two weeks in office by a New York Times columnist, Ezra Klein. He explains what Trump’s strategy has been since coming into Presidential office for the second term. It involves flooding the ground with shit, with so much shit that it keeps the opposition and media… Continue reading A video essay about Trump that’s worth a look
Another gormless, boastful lie from Trump
“They (the Chinese) told me we have the best scientists”. Trump, 28th January 2025. Another inane lie from the moron that is Donald Trump. How this fool became the most powerful (and dangerous) person on the planet still stuns me. Every day brings a new reminder of what an ignorant charlatan this fool is. It… Continue reading Another gormless, boastful lie from Trump
Shackled and handcuffed-the politics of spectacle
I hope Trump supporters are happy now with the sight of migrants from South America being sent home in handcuffs and ankle shackles, shuffling off aircraft back to where they came from. I hope, too, that these supporters recognise that this is only a spectacle, a public relations stunt. And that Trump’s family, and that… Continue reading Shackled and handcuffed-the politics of spectacle
The world is a scarier place now
The world is becoming an even scarier place now, was my immediate thought having watched the six one news last night on RTE 1. Firstly, there was a story about Meta and Mark Zuckerburg and his announcement that all of the fact checkers for the Facebook platform were being dispensed with. Zuckerburg wants to revert… Continue reading The world is a scarier place now
The worst aspect of Trump’s re-election
The worst part of the success of Trump in the United States Presidential election is how it affects the culture, everywhere. It emboldens intolerance, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, sexism and virtually everything that is base and vile in a human being. We will see its full effects as the next year unfolds. We will see… Continue reading The worst aspect of Trump’s re-election
Trump looks set for victory
It is early days yet in the counting of votes in the United States Presidential election. But it looks almost certain that Trump will regain the Presidency of the United States. The New York Times puts his chances of victory at 95% as I write this. I feel nauseous, to be honest. I cannot believe… Continue reading Trump looks set for victory
Trump still ahead in the national poll-New York Times
It’s hard to believe that Trump, the convicted con man, is still ahead in the national polls by 1 percentage point. The New York Times report this stark and worrying fact one day before Trump and Harris debate for the first, and perhaps only, time. It is incredible that Trump is still ahead, if this… Continue reading Trump still ahead in the national poll-New York Times
The Trump convictions-what impact in November?
The Trump cult members/supporters are not happy. Even though they claim he will still win the Presidential election in November they don’t like their man being confirmed as a felon and convicted criminal. And perhaps there is a particle of doubt creeping into their minds that these 34 criminal convictions will hamper Trump’s election campaign… Continue reading The Trump convictions-what impact in November?
