Looks like he’s threatening to nuke Iran tonight. Can’t see him retaining the FIFA Peace Prize now. 
 

The US is a nation of cowards 

Surely to fuck the non-psycho GOP-ers need to step in here.

This is sub-Bond-villain shit.

If the world comes out the other side of this, surely the U.S. will get mega, socio-political reforms in place to ensure no other criminals can pull off what Rapey has done?

Doubt it, the dollar reigns supreme.

Nuclear strike likely takes out most of the Middle east with whatevers left becoming a deathzone.

Say goodbye to the Oil industry

Did always wonder how the world of Mad Max would eventually come about. Best put all your money into pig farms, bondage clothing, and dog food

Why has Melania suddenly come out and made a speech to distance herself from Epstein? She trying to get ahead of something big coming or is this just more gaslighting from Team Trump?!

Odd thing to do.

People were saying a while back (some jokingly, some seriously) that Trump has made such an arse of the Iran war that he'll need to put some Epstein stuff out to distract back to that. 

Probably exactly what this is.

So much winning!

It appears the orange gimp has went too far, depicting himself as Jesus. 

If it wasn't so serious, this Trump presidency could have been the best political satire ever.

It’s very strange what Americans will & won’t put up with. 
 

My big match prediction of him being gone by the end of summer is looking good. He’s unraveling too quickly

Surprising to me that's the thing that's finally having an impact. My experience of living there was that most people who go to church do so for the financial/tax/social/networking opportunities more than anything. I guess this gives people the "out" they have been secretly craving, cognisant that no-one will believe they suddenly actually care about the poor/minorities.

No chance this is the out. "Proper Christians" love the Iran war. It'll blow over in a day.

What are the tax and financial benefits of being a bible basher in the USA?

My experience was more middle-class suburbia and that seemed mostly about "donating" large (tax deductible) sums to tax-exempt religious organisations and being rewarded in return with jobs, contracts, business opportunities, etc. Social capital you could say.

'Murican 'Christians' are a weird bunch.

They espouse an ethos so contrary to Big J's that it is hard to think they haven't named themselves ironically.

I used to go on a Bruce Springsteen fan board. This guy, a Sceptic, was one of these outwardly nice guys. Kept bumping his gums about his church activities ....charitable giving etc.

But he used to give it large with some seriously toxic socio-political views.

He'd basically put up with anything any government did as long as his taxes were low (though never low enough as that would be zero).

I don't believe that's specific to US Christians though. I'd argue that the entire religion is founded on the antithesis of Christ, with the writings of Paul, specifically, appearing to bear no relation to the actions and words attributed to the big guy. I'm sure Paul was a great lad, but he seems to have got it all wrong.

I thought 'yet Iran has the strait' was a nice reply to JD Vances 'we hold all the cards' comment.

Most folk of the religious persuasion that I know are the biggest c*nts agoing.

Used to work for a family of Jehovas Witnesses many moons ago.

What a bunch of crooks they were. 

Just a form of freemasonry in my opinion.

[swaddon]

Well, look what happened to John Lennon when he allegedly said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

No, its fairly global that right wing types wrap themselves in some form of 'faith'.

But American evangelists are next level.

Have you watched them speaking in tongues? How the fuck can the congregation sit through that and not say how mental it is
