Donald Trump’s war seems headed for a strategic defeat. #Trump is losing credibility. 🇪🇺 European allies remember Trump’s vow to seize Greenland and his threats to leave the NATO alliance. Middle Eastern allies see their own security undermined by Trump’s war. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/w...

In Iran, the U.S. Appears Headed for a Strategic Defeat, Allies Fear

With none of President Trump’s aims accomplished and the Strait of Hormuz closed, U.S. allies see dysfunction and vulnerability from the war.

Tumbling U.S. status in the world should be no surprise

A recent Pew Research Center report on global attitudes concludes that views of the U.S. worsened last year to the point where more people now view China with higher regard.

Never-ending Fiasco: The Reflecting Pool saga is a perfect caricature of the #Trump’s immorality. He is refusing to admit responsibility, offering a ridiculous lie to divert attention from the failure. He has yes men and women willing to spread the lie. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/o...

Opinion | Another Trump Fiasco: The Reflecting Pool

Readers see the saga as a symbol of Trump administration failures. Also: Ominous plans for Head Start; land acknowledgments.

Democratic Latino strategists say an overlooked voter group could help unlock a Dem majority—and it cuts through the cycle’s biggest races: Puerto Ricans. While the focus is on Tejanos in the Rio Grande Valley, Puerto Rican voters are key in some of the biggest toss-ups for both the House & Senate.

Between 2026, next year, and 2034, this trigger will produce $535 billion in cuts to Medicare. Trump and Republicans don’t want to tell you that. It happens automatically so they don’t have fingerprints on it. We can stop this by voting blue in November!

RFK needs to wise up. People ( mostly children) are sick and dying all over the United States. Mandatory vaccinations need to be imposed again. The trump administration is guilty of all these illnesses.

The Dead End to #Trump’s War Trump's new nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia is ridiculous. The most dismal legacy of his catastrophic war may be that a decade or two from now both Saudi Arabia and Iran will have nuclear weapons — thanks to Donald Trump. 😡 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/o...

Worst of all, the result may be that both Iran and Saudi Arabia end up with nuclear weapons.

Trump needs to face way more than 5 years and for more crimes than making money off official stuff. Repost #Blues

What really pisses me off, is that I still see YouTube video comments from apparent Americans asking the rest of the world to step in and save them, what the actual fuck! What those moronic fools don't seem to realise is that the USA only has FORMER allies, due to the election of the 🍊 twat

Perhaps, the ONLY way that YOU will learn anything is if America goes up in flames, because nothing else seems to be getting through to YOU TBH. I would prefer that YOU dig YOURSELVES out of the hole YOU created in the first place, but unfortunately I don't see any REAL signs of it.

If a new American civil war is only way the rest of the world can be saved from the 🍊 American Hitler and his fascist regime then sobeit. Americans had numerous opportunities to prevent the current catastrophic situation, but YOU fucking arseholes blew past every single one.

The WORLD is screaming at America to take down the 🍊shitbag and his regime, because the WORLD can see the dangerous trends, the WORLD is far more informed and aware of what's going on, compared to stupid, ignorant or moronic Americans who seem to make up the bulk of the population.

America the land of the cowards, who are so fucking stupid, ignorant or self-centred that they aren't prepared to take immediate action to remove the 🍊American Hitler before it's too late for everyone, instead they wait for the fucking midterms, which might never ever happen.

Every day the behaviour of the 🍊demented deranged raving lunatic becomes even more unhinged and insane. MEANWHILE SPINELESS COWARDLY AMERICAN SCUMBAG ARSEHOLES DO NOTHING, YOU CAN ALL GO TO FUCKING HELL, WORTHLESS WANKERS. WE (THE WORLD) HAS HAD ENOUGH OF YOU MORONIC FUCKWITS AND UTTER TOSSERS
