I never really looked into Project 2025. I have just asked Chat GPT for a summary and received the answer. Okay, okay, it's all there in black and white.

An easy solution to deal with the Trump Regime. Pass a special tax law that taxes those who directly benefited from the Regime at 99.99% of their wealth. Forgive me if I'm wrong but presidential pardons do not extend to not having to pay taxes. Trumps, Musk, Dell, Ellison, Bezos, Zuckerberg......

I'm seeing quite a few videos of people demonstrating against paedophilia at Trump campaign events. Why do those attending start chanting "USA" when the demonstrator calls out the paedophile?

Trumps terrorist oil deal with Russia. I've just learned that the tonnage promised equates to 2M barrels. The US uses 4M barrels per day. That will have zero effect on prices. So, Trump removes sanctions on his terrorist friend and Trump gets nothing in return. Art of the Deal.

Most observers are aware of the horrif extent of Trumps theft and corruption. Imagine what else he is thieving that we don't know about. It's quite possible that we only know the tip of the iceberg. On a positive note, it can all be taken away from him, his family and all billionaires involved.

The Russians are bombing civilians on bridges in Kyiv. The Russians are simply terrorists. And Trump wants to do business with them.

America, you need to rein this in before it gets out of control. This is a clear out of those who might "question" leaving only "yes" men. Also a "slim" army is not necessarily a professional army.

Came across a documentary about the French revolution so I decided to learn more about the reasons behind it. This is what AI said. Very applicable to today's US. I had to amend it a little but otherwise it looks similar. Debt, ruling rich ckass, a king, no gov., rising prices, war costs...

For all the wealthy businessmen who have paid bribes to the Trump Regime for lucrative government contracts, please don't claim to have been the 'victims' of Trumps extortion. You chose to pay to get those contracts. Don't even think of playing the 'victim' card. Straight to jail.

The Trump Regime should not be posting details about the airforce base incident in the UK. The British are the investigators and are limiting information. Marco Rubio and Trump discussing it, without any actual facts, is ignorant and unhelpful. It's Trump wanting to be the centre of everything.

Looking at the reports about Kimberly Guilfoyle/ Greece & Romania, I think every US "ally" should face up to the fact that the US is no longer an "ally".

Trump rejects Iranian plan to open the Straight of Hormuz. I think the US people should have a say. How can one man be allowed to decide on behalf of the world? Average US Joe is suffering. None of this affects Trump so he doesn't care.

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

Trump has turned the US into a socialist dictatorship. So much for private enterprise. Same as always, privatise the profits, socialise the debt.

Just a quick reminder, all the money made by the Trump family and associates, is the proceeds of crime and must be taken from the criminals ASAP.

We always knew the US president held great power to affect the world. Most previous presidents understood that power and made a conscious decision not to abuse it or use against the world. Until now. And the motivation is not some righteous belief, it's simply ignorance and pure greed.

Trumps "deal" on Denmark sounds similar to the existing 1951 agreement, especially in relation to US forces deployment. The worry for Denmark is that you cannot trust Trump on anything. He has the trust levels of Putin.

It's as clear as mud that Russia is doing It's absolute best, bar an all out attack, to provoke Europe. Europe needs to "up" it's diplomacy to bring the US back on the side of the West. Europeans should be engaging bi-partisan contacts in the US Congress as there is no hope trying to engage Trump.

I had a quick look at some of my early posts. I mentioned long before Trump was re-elected that if he was, it would be the greatest heist, theft and corruption in world history. I didn't realise I would be so accurate.

I know next to nothing about AI. If it has the potential to cause harm to humanity, does it not at the same time have the potential to stop that from happening. It's a technology, like all, that will carry out a task. So if that task is to stop other AI attacks, can it not do that too?

I understand Trump is visiting Ireland this weekend and going to a golf tournament there. There's obviously very little going on in the world at the moment that allows him to do such things. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting documentary on Channel 4 UK tonight about British far right activist, Irish Steven Lennon aka "Tommy Robinson" and his handling of 'donation funds' ... very Trump like. Not very "British" at all.

1/5 Europe is sleepwalking into an extremely dangerous period. The window between mid-2027 and early 2029 will likely be the most critical for Western security in decades, yet Europe and Taiwan have less than a year to prepare before a massive storm erupts

Zuckerberg just bought a castle in Ireland for somewhere between $25M and $40M. So that's where he's planning to run to when the crap hits the fan. 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃

The thing about Trump is… a well functioning country would never in a million years elect a guy like him, let alone twice.. he is the sum total of our decay and degradation of standards.

Why do they bother publishing these articles? It makes no mention of the insider trading and corruption (criminal activity). Baron should actually be arrested and jailed along with the rest of the family.

I have just finished reading Uncle Tom's Cabin. I understand this is widely read in US schools over many years. I think most Americans should have another read over the final chapter, particularly in the context of the current US. The topic may have differed but the message remains for Christians

KKKaroline "Lying" Leavitt to leave her post as press secretary. She will be in the record books for being you youngest press secretary and biggest liar in history. Well done KKKaroline you kids will experience your legacy in years to come. Hatred, corruption, racism, a very dangerous world. Nice
