Trump went too far this time, and got a Meloni tongue-lashing
Voters see Donald Trump's personal abuse, even if the politicians pretend not to. Ties to the Trump administration are now politically toxic in Europe. Meloni, whose roots are in the Italian far-right, is fending off a challenge from the even more rightwing National Future party, led by a fire-breathing, pro-Kremlin retired general, Roberto Vanacci.

Trump Peddles Video Calling For 'Hardcore Communist' Like Mamdani To Be Deported
With midterm elections rapidly approaching and his congressional loyalists dropping like flies all around him, Donald Trump's desperation to dismantle, discredit, and vilify the burgeoning Democratic Socialism Party in the United States has reached a frantic fever pitch. Yesterday, just as the news was breaking that South Carolina sycophant Lindsey Graham had succumbed to the pits of Hell, the sitting President of the United States of America reposted a video to his Truth Social echo chamber, in which far-Right extremist and pundit Michael Savage openly called for the US to criminalize and deport hardcore communist bastards, pointing the finger at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as the perfect example. read more

‘We f*****g hate you’: Far-left Democrat brutally heckled by LGBTIQ protesters over Israel support
California State Senator Scott Wiener was ruthlessly heckled by far-left LGBTQ protesters while attending San Francisco’s Trans March. On Friday, Wiener was confronted by a former supporter who praised the Democrat’s past legislation before blasting his support of Israel. The viral moment occurred as Pride Weekend began, with Wiener walking through the park as protesters hurled expletive-filled insults at him. Dimitry Yakoushkin posted the clip to X, which showed him confronting Wiener on his position on the war in Gaza. “I think your policy on the genocide is terrible. I think you do not belong here,” Yakoushkin said. As Wiener continued to walk through the park, Yakoushkin and other protesters began yelling at the Democrat, with many yelling, “We f*****g hate you.”
