"I have shocking news to report"

[senseandsensibility]

writes Ron Filipkowski on bluesky. "An hour in to the NATO summit and Trump has already made a complete ass of himself on the world stage again, trashing our closest allies for decades while praising Putin and Erdogan and ranting one lie after another."

And that's how the corporate media should be reporting trump's performance at this NATO summit. You know they would be if Biden had done an eighth of what trump is doing on the world stage.

Instead we get sanewashing language like "tensions are high" at the NATO summit. No, What's happening is a total %%##$$ show,
with trump saying he would take out a "restraining order" against one of the leaders a couple of days ago and devolving from there. I haven't even heard journalists calling out the lies.

And there seems to be complete silence about his ninety minute phone call with Putin on our nation's 250th birthday.

1. OK, that explains why the stock market is frozen like a deer in headlights.

Time for a walk.

2. Gordon says:

[Grim Chieftain]

3. I'm shocked! Shocked!

Yeah, not so much. He isn't destroying this country by the day, he's destroying it by the hour.

The stain he has left on the US will last for many years as people will rightly ask "How was this allowed to happen?"

[Scubamatt]

6. But Jake Tapper . . .

is right on another searing expose that Biden was . . . gasp . . . OLD . . . , along with a companion piece about how Obama demeaned the office of the presidency by wearing a tan suit and bowing to the Japanese Emperor. However did the Republic survive? (sarcasm)

[AZJonnie]

12. Of course, one can always to turn to Faux Nooz

to catch their weeklong 5 hour documentary segment: "Michelle Obama: Penis or Vagina?", featuring in-depth interviews with experts Mike Lindell, Kyle Rittenhouse, Laura Loomer, Stephen Miller, and the Ghost of Joe the Plumber, with musical guests Nicki Minaj and Ted Nugent.

[calimary]

24. I hope you're kidding on this.

Seriously? “Michelle Obama: Penis or Vagina” ????????

I’m incredulous and dumbfounded and all the rest of the corresponding adjectives!!!

[AZJonnie]

25. Yeah, no, I totally made it up

Sorry, I thought it was so over the top it would be recognized as such.

But it's not that far from the one-side-only presentations expounding on vacuous RWNJ conspiracy theories they come up with regularly on Faux.

But they're just, you know, "asking questions"

[mdbl]

32. Fux Nooze vomits all kinds of crap

[bdamomma]

18. He was voted in.

By 70 million stupid people who believed his lies, again.

[wolfie001]

21. He was gonna make them all rich

His bit coin gambit has cost many of his cult $billions. I hope the worst for all of them. They're all racists and homophobes.

[bdamomma]

27. He's making

his million/billionaire friends rich. I hope they choke on that greed.

[yellow dahlia]

29. I recite how is this allowed to happen...all day.

A few minutes ago I did exactly that about the scaffolding in front of the WH. I believe they plan on replacing the columns. WTAF! How is this allowed to happen?

[Grim Chieftain]

30. Can no one explain to the idiot

he is a temporary occupant of the White House? It's the people's house - our house. Why will no one step up and say "NO"! Unreal.

[yellow dahlia]

33. You are saying exactly what I was ranting to Mr. Dahlia, earlier.

Mr. Dahlia put it well - He is a temporary resident, and yet he is making permanent changes.

[Grim Chieftain]

34. I just can't understand why he gets away with everything

He is destroying our historical buildings. He has torn up the White House inside and out. He paved over the rose garden out of pure jealousy and vitriol because Jackie Kennedy was instrumental in its existence. The east wing is gone, the Oval Office looks like a cheap brothel, the reflecting pool is ruined, and on and on.

What he is doing - destroying national treasures and monuments - should be considered criminal, yet he gets away with everything. He doesn't own these buildings, they belong to the American people. I am stunned that no one stands up to him and says NO!

I feel like we are living in the Twilight Zone. Nothing makes sense.

[yellow dahlia]

38. Indeed! I use the Twilight Zone analogy often, myself.

And he wants to take down the Cherry Trees.

If I lived near DC, I would probably get in trouble for blocking all these efforts. I was raised on sit ins in the 70's.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. It's not a shit show

It’s Trump shitting himself like the toddler he is, while the rest of Europe holds their noses and goes about the business of establishing military and economic independence from the US.

[twodogsbarking]

5. Let us all remember that the NYT and at least one of Trump's top people didn't even know what NATO stood for.

Expecting news you can rely on from the media is not unlike expecting Trump to be moral.

[Amaryllis]

10. NYT didn't know? I missed that.

[twodogsbarking]

16. In April 2026, The New York Times faced severe online backlash after its print edition ran a headline that incorrectly

decoded the NATO acronym as the "North American Treaty Organization" instead of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.The headline, which read "A North American Treaty Organization Without America?", was spotlighted by journalists on X (formerly Twitter). The New York Times Communications department quickly acknowledged the glaring mistake and stated an official correction would be printed

[wolfie001]

19. "North American.........."

Like, where in the f*ck was the European Theater in WW2? What a hilarious fuckup.

[FakeNoose]

7. In his first term, Chump had minders and staffers who prevented stuff like this, but now there's nobody

His craziness is right on display for the whole world to see.

[allegorical oracle]

8. Little Donnie's petulantly sulking because the NATO countries didn't help him attack

Iran. "We help them," he keeps repeating. NATO is a defensive, not offensive, alliance. It would be nice if someone in his administration could get that through TSF's thick skull.

[Amaryllis]

11. Is he capable of learning? I ask in all seriousness.

[senseandsensibility]

13. No!

That's an easy one.

[colorado_ufo]

35. Yes. The problem is WHAT he has learned.

Cheating, lying, manipulation, intimidation, and how to have no shred of conscience or decency.

[Vinca]

9. It took an hour? I'd have given it 10 minutes.

[Scalded Nun]

14. We cannot be trusted. The sooner they have self-reliance solidified the sooner they can show us the door.

[Joinfortmill]

15. F*ck U. S. corporate media. Shun them. I hope they implode.

Listen to trusted voices only.

[Blue Owl]

39. They are nothing more than the GOP's errand boys

I wish everyone would SHUT THEM OFF and let them all shrivel up and fucking die already.

[wolfie001]

20. His obsession with the Italian Prime Minister is especially revolting

That fat smelly pig. She's had to stand close enough to catch a wiff of his Depends. Poor lady.

[BidenRocks]

22. Question: In 1945 Nazi Germany.

What were the feelings of the populace?
See a Nazi, kill a Nazi?
or did they do nothing to aid in the overthrow.

America is in the "Do Nothing" stage. We are unhappily waiting for the midterms.

250+ years ago, today's Americans would do nothing!

We really don't want freedom that badly any longer.

Done in by chump. How fucking pathetic. Suckers and losers!

28. President MY-COUNTRY-TIS-OF-ME Trump

[senseandsensibility]

31. Very clever!

36. Fake media
