Another attempt by Trump to end the war with Iran

I read on BBC news that Iran are getting around some of the sanctions imposed by Trump by moving oil into Pakistan by teams of motorbikers.
I don't think the new sanctions will help end the war at all. They don't seem workable.

If people are now suffering after voting for Trump they do need to live with their choice.
Hopefully they will choose better next time.

What Kamala promised them when they chose to vote for Trump, by the way.

This is just one example of MAGA voters realizing they have been duped and are regretful. And all they keep hearing is"we told you, now live with it" and get mad.

Sucks to suck, if I may use slang Americanism.

It's all in Project 2025. Women will not be able to divorce, work, vote, or do anything other than have babies.

I would like to think Texas women will stand up, but they keep voting against their own best interests.

On a different note, lots of MAGA farmers are regretting their vote and are big mad that people are telling them they asked for this. They seem to want to forget that when they are looking for sympathy.

More thoughts on that subject...it's going to go against women in Texas, isnt it?

Fascinating stuff, imaround. Gladdens my hear to hear, "Dems flipping seats all over the South".

As for ending no fault divorce, why?

Is it a religious thing?

It has made such a difference in the UK (it only came in the very year I really, really needed it, in April 2022) especially I suspect for women who are trying to escape an abusive marriage, and all men and women who simply know their own minds, need to part, and this is low cost.

Goodness, we live in interesting times.
I was not surprised to hear that Mr Trump's sons made a vast sum from insider knowledge.
I was surprised to see a guillotine..

Oops, I mixed the last guy up with him.

Dems flipping seats all over the South.

And I point out he is a black gay man on purpose because he is in a state that just gerrymandered for the express purpose of diluting the black vote.

Wow, I didn't have to wait long to see GOP gerrymandering backfire on them.

This video is from Meidas Touch explaining how a black gay man just flipped a Georgia (state) House seat.

If elections happen, it will be a bloodbath.

This is MAGA we are talking about..

Well, to think he was dangerous in some way is bizarre. I looked up a person you mention.

Angela Paxton announced the split on social media, stating that remaining in the marriage did not honor God.

Court filings noted the couple had lived apart since June 2024.

Rumors and allegations regarding Ken Paxton's extramarital affair previously surfaced during his 2023 Texas Senate impeachment trial, where he was ultimately acquitted.

Why not just stick to, 'he betrayed me and had an affair, I want a divorce\'.....

Ossoff is amazing. Talarico in Texas is going to flip that long held seat as well IMO. IF we have elections.

I have always believed that the gerrymandering antics could backfire on them in a big way in states like Florida and Texas. Both Ossoff and Talarico are ahead in the polls. If you are bored and want some stomach turning reading, look up what Talarico is digging up on Paxton. Or just like look up Paxton, whose wife has filed for divorce on biblical grounds.

I am still giggling at the guillotine. I mean, we all know is Americans are crazy, but this is something special, even for me. It also tells you how fed up we are.

What wouldn’t I give to know that trump had heard this man. 👏👏👏👏👏

Has this story been reported extensively in the US.
I’ve watched a lot of his speeches and so far he looks like a good egg.

Thank you imaround.

I see it as a symbol of discontent but hardly dangerous.

My - we feel its bizarre here in the UK at times, but - words fail. The mad and the bad in charge.

Allegedly, the CIA man only lasted 8 hours in Moscow, instead of the expected couple of days.
Allegedly, Ukraine was asked to not drone attack Moscow until after Thursday.

Perhaps they showed him the video.
That would be the video supposedly taken by the KGB in 2013.
Trump was in Moscow for the Miss World pageant.

This is how things are going on my side of the pond.

I have a number so questions right now, the first of which is how on the heck did he get across the country without being spotted. This drive would have taken at least 3 days, including the need to stay on a hotel.

We need to forget about the US being an ally while Trump is president. He doesn't seem to want allies apart from Israel which I still find very strange. (Epstein files?)
He has insulted and threatened us over his time as Potus so I hope we do stand up to him more now.

Oh well done Trump!

What a complete an utter mess this man is making in both his world and for the remaining world.

I do hope AB doesn’t suck up to him!

BBC reporting that the cIA visit to Russia, is to warn Russia not to continue with their plan to attack the Baltics with a hybrid army (soldiers dont wear Rusxian uniform).
It means that NATO would be involved.

Blimey

Mmmm didn’t we used to call those armies “Mercenaries”?

I agree AGA. Trump has started a war that he cannot finish so wants other countries to impose sanctions to 'win' it for him.

It's your mess Trump, so you'll have to sort it out wont you.

I completely agree.

Trump needs to clean up all his own messes!

He’s a complete ass!

I'm with Wyllow3, that is the cause of it all, too much interference from the West for there own ends.

Trump is probably the most powerful man in the world. Unfortunately he doesn't have the mental capacity to use that power wisely. He thinks he is the centre of the world and everything must be dealt with using brute force and ignorance. His priorities are all wrong, his own vanity projects come first. I would love to be a fly on the wall in a couple of hundred years time to hear how he is viewed as a historical figure.
