> Enten joked Trump’s 100:0 approval-to-disapproval ratio made him the right-wing equivalent of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, which went undefeated and won the Super Bowl.
Yeah, better to compare it to the Dolphins, instead of some banana republic authoritarian with 90% of the vote. Nobody wants a downer!
Masterful gambit, sir.

'...Danish soldiers flown to Greenland in January were prepared to blow up key airport runways over fears that US President Donald Trump could invade the Arctic island, Denmark's public broadcaster DR says.
Citing sources in the Danish government and military, and also among European allies, DR says blood supplies were also brought in to treat the wounded in the event of fighting.
[...] A high-ranking Danish security source told DR that "when Trump keeps saying he wants to take over Greenland, and then what happened in Venezuela happened, we had to take all scenarios seriously."...'

"A US military veteran arrested on federal conspiracy charges after participating in a June 2025 protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told the Guardian he refuses to plead guilty and is ready to face justice.
The right to protest is 'supposed to be fundamentally American', said Bajun Mavalwalla, who walked foot patrols as US army sergeant in the Horn of Panjwai, the birthplace of the Taliban and one of the most dangerous parts of Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province.
'It’s among the rights that when I joined the military, I thought I was joining to protect.'"

Morning, all,
it’s good that #HMG has chartered aircraft to help British “ex-pats”* escape the active war-zone now engulfing the Gulf states. That stands in stark contrast to Desperate Don’s regime, which has sloped shoulders, telling U.S. citizens to find their own way home.
