Or the penny. Which GOP are looking at dumping, as it costs too much. Double meaning there, which I'm sure isn't lost on anyone here

Well, the double meaning of the $3 bill is that it's completely fake, just like Trump. :-D

Which is quite different to Trump.
He is COMPLETELY worthless.

Trump will (briefly) love him for it. America, you're in deeper shit than I already thought.
That's it for the American way of life - The main thing is comfortable, over sweet, greasy, fat and stupid. Sad, but true. Now you're lying on your back like bugs, waving your legs around and, like the sorcerer's apprentice, don't know how to get rid of the ghosts you've summoned yourself.
I know a really good book by one of your compatriots and it might help the smarter ones in your new American „company“:

Agree
Who is alongside this administration?
Lord Heseltine spoke out after the Trump administration, alongside Russia, North Korea and Belarus, rejected a UN resolution condemning Moscow’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. The resolution was backed by 93 nations.
Also the GOP lawmakers who must tow the party line if the value their jobs
Watched a bit of Fox the other night, the glammed up reporter and a Republican based guy. Trey Gordy from memory. Both support UKR and both criticised Trump for the Oval office facade
Protests outside a Tesla building
Citizens going to their local GOP representative to complain
Then there are the many that have/are being fired as part of the slash and burn policy
Overseas aid people who have now has aid support cut off
Global support for UKR and against this administration is high
EU is stepping up
Seems to be a big crowd vs a tiny crowd. This will likely backfire, heightened by todays announcement that support for Ukraine has been paused. (because Trump wants a deal (win) a peace deal (win and saves $ support) and the minerals deal (win and makes $)
EU is hopefully going to maintain a forward trajectory, the US has stalled and appears isolationist

Trump crowned? No faux King way!
I fear we are seeing a new fascist state being constructed before our very eyes. Contemplating the events of the past week, I can't help but feel Macron and Starmer have a bit to answer for in the lead up to the Zelenski-Trump stoush.
The way they both appeared to rock up to the White House, cap in hand, trinkets outstretched like they were there to bend the knee to King Joffrey at King's Landing was pretty unseemly. It's set an expectation in the already megalomanic mind of Trump that the correct behaviour when meeting him is to bow and scape and kiss the proverbial ring.
Those Oval Office fireside chats in the presence of media serve no useful purpose but to stroke Trump's ego and belittle those world leaders who agree to be part of the charade. It has to be viewed as positive that Europe are going to step it up in aid of Ukraine as well as their own defense.
It shouldn't be forgotten that the reliance of Europe (and many of the rest of us frankly) on the US for security that Trump now bemoans has been actively encouraged for decades by the US to benefit themselves and their industrial-military complex in no small part.
I do wonder, if we continue along this path, how long it might be before the top brass at the Pentagon decide to step in and forcibly end the Trump administration. Hopefully his crackpot economic policy on tariffs brings pressure to bear on him domestically long before then.

kingdragonfly: The ‘Canadiano’–Why Canadian Cafés Are Renaming The Americano, Explained: Forbes
The Americano is getting a rebrand. But this isn’t a seasonal menu tweak or a marketing stunt—this is cultural. Across Canada, coffee shops are swapping the name Americano for Canadiano, a move that started as an inside joke at one café and quickly became a national discussion.

Lactalis Canada launched “Cheestrings: Made with 0% American Cheese,”
On the one hand you could see this as shallow and tactless, in a normal life
But ups to the Canadians, standing up to a super power who should and could be great, but they now arent. Ive spent a good amount of time there, the people are lovely and patriotic.(Americans) That being said, they are now seen as Americans, which Trump is leading. A sad stereotype.

What I bolded. IMHO Trump is an outlier, fragile and weak, but as we have seen he has prime dictatorial attitudes. And he is charismatic. Thats normally a compliment. However, its the ability to talk and convince people, by words, or inherent power. EU have stood up to that as has Starmer and Macron, yes they have pandered, but its pandering for the greater good. Feed the aimless bulldog a steak or two, he will/may be semi reasonable. Didnt work out but not their fault. Since that diplomacy has failed, they have united, we will put feet on the ground and planes in the air. Based on Putins past comments thats a risk. But the time to stay calm, see what happens is well over. Russia in their future exploits, China, and North Korea are watching this, a line needs to be drawn, and EU are doing just that
