People Who Cut Off Family Members And Friends In The Last Few Weeks Over Trump's Historic Election Win Are Sharing Why Earlier this month, Donald Trump was again elected as the next President of the United States, and many Americans are understandably concerned about losing their rights. The country is more divisive than ever, and in light of the looming threat of fascism, many have decided to cut or reduce contact with friends and family members who voted for Trump. Others have argued for unity during this time and decried those who would allow "politics" to get in the way of personal relationships. To get a pulse on what people are thinking and feeling, we asked the BuzzFeed Community if they had cut anyone in their life out over Trump's win, and we got a number of illuminating responses. Here are their stories. 1."I cut most of my family off in 2016 after they voted for Trump for the first time. It started with a picture of a young Syrian boy who drowned. From the following conversations, I learned that my cousin absolutely believes her children are better and deserve better than that boy. ... It devolved from there. I realized that ... our morals and values were nothing alike. Now, in 2024, I have no contact with anyone in my 'family,' even the ones that I kept in my life at a distance after 2016. They voted for someone who doesn't care if my career helping children is defunded, that my LGBT+ child may lose their right to marry, that my child with a disability may lose their IEP funding, that my immigrant husband may lose his visa." "They don't care because they believe that their religion gives them the right to hate and discriminate and to govern their own morals and selfishness, and that is something I just can't be a part of."

Police report reveals new details from sexual assault allegation against Trump’s defense secretary nominee A California woman told police that Trump Cabinet pick Pete Hegseth physically blocked her from leaving a hotel room, took her phone, and then sexually assaulted her even though she “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot,” a police report obtained by CNN shows. The 22-page report, released by the city attorney’s office of Monterey, California, on Wednesday night in response to a public records request, lays out the competing narratives of what happened in new detail – including conflicting accounts of how intoxicated Hegseth and the woman were, and descriptions of video surveillance showing some of their movements that night. Hegseth, who President-elect Donald Trump has named as his pick for secretary of defense, told police that their encounter was consensual, and that he had repeatedly made sure the woman “was comfortable with what was going on between the two of them.” Seven years after the alleged assault, questions over what happened that night could jeopardize Hegseth’s nomination and seem likely to be central in his upcoming confirmation hearing. Hegseth was not charged with a crime in connection with the allegation. His attorney has acknowledged that Hegseth later entered into a settlement agreement with his accuser that included an undisclosed monetary payment and a confidentiality clause. Though Hegseth insisted the encounter was consensual, the lawyer said he was fearful that the woman was poised to make an allegation against him during the #MeToo movement that might have cost him his job as a Fox News host. “This police report confirms what I’ve said all along, that the incident was fully investigated, and police found the allegations to be false, which is why no charges were filed,” Timothy Parlatore, Hegseth’s attorney, told CNN on Wednesday night – although the report does not say that police found the allegations to be false.

That's correct.

Add Julia Roberts and Ellen DeGeneres to the list of people fleeing the USA. Ellen ha sold one house and selling n another in the US and has bought a place in the Cotswolds in the UK.

It was said that Joe was just a mouthpiece for minders behind the scene who made the decisions, Stories on the net suggesting that much of the BS from Trump is being fed to him by Musk, Barron T and others. and that Musk has made himself almost a defacto president. Apparently the Dept of Gov't Efficiency (DOGE) is Musks baby. Musk is now launching the Tesla phone, claimed to put iPhone out of business.

Caught Redhanded is the correct answer. Note the crooks right hand is red. Loose sannon.mp4

I play the show on steaming service 7plus. If the catchphrase can be guessed from a still frame, I freeze the video at that point, and using MS Snipping Tool camera option, I take a screenprint of the image and save it as a JPEG file. If the clue requires the action sequence to make sense of the catchphrase, eg flicking the chick, I rewind to the start of the sequence, select the video option and record the video action, This is saved to my hard drive as an MP4 file. Then I upload the MP4 file to Ian's server, from where you download it to answer the clue. It should be no different to watching any other video on this site or Rec Flying.

Correct.

No-one else has reported problems with it.

'He would be a terrible enemy': Trump warned against attempt to 'break up' with key ally Donald Trump has formed a powerful alliance with the wealthiest man in the world, but an analyst explained why the two men are unlikely to split anytime soon. The president-elect has been palling around with Tesla CEO Elon Musk after the tech mogul poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his election win, and while many observers are waiting for Trump to eject his so-called co-president from his orbit, CNN's Stephen Collinson said he can't really afford to quit him. "He's putting himself in iconic situations, you know, he's standing there yesterday with his chin in the air, watching this rocket go up almost like there was some credit to accrue to him for the Elon Musk [achievement], and I guess he was basking in reflected glory because Musk is now part of his inner circle," Collinson said. "I think there's been a lot of talk about, okay, this is all going to blow up, right – they can't stick together." The South Africa-born tech mogul has been described as a shadow president, since he's prohibited from running himself, and has been advising Trump closely since the election and sticking by his side at Mar-a-Lago, and on Tuesday the pair watched Musk's SpaceX launch its giant Starship rocket to space from Texas. Trump is hanging around with the richest man in the world. He is a force multiplier in terms of power. He's a massive non-state actor, and I'm sure when Trump was watching that rocket go up, not only was he impressed, but he had to be thinking about Musk's power." "Musk is not just a great ally to have," Collinson added, "he would be a terrible enemy if if they did break up."

That was quick. Correct.

That's correct - as in women's moview. CP2.mp4

RFK Jnr teams up with Aussie anti-vax TV chef to write healthy cookbook for children Incoming US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has enlisted axed Aussie TV chef and conspiracy theorist Pete Evans to help tackle America's dire youth obesity epidemic. The divisive duo, who bonded over their anti-vaxxer views during the global pandemic, have teamed up to release a new culinary guide aimed at improving children's unhealthy eating habits. The Evans-penned cookbook, Healthy Food for Healthy Kids, boasts it will include 120 'paleo- and keto-friendly meals that your kid will love' when it is published by Kennedy's activist group the Children's Health Defense on January 28. The release will mark the 'cancelled' TV star's first return to culinary writing since his former publisher, Pan MacMillan, scrapped Evan's book deal after he posted a cartoon depicting a neo-Nazi symbol on social media. It also comes after his last similarly themed recipe book aimed at children, Bubba Yum Yum: The Paleo Way, was met with widespread controversy, and had its release date delayed, amid claims it promoted a restrictive and potentially deadly diet. Evans credited his close friend RFK Jr with personally lining up the deal after announcing the upcoming launch to his 41,000 followers on the Telegram messaging app. 'So please and thankful that Robert Kennedy Jr set this up for me, with his Children's Health Defense team,' the 51-year-old said. 'Stay tuned for more.' Since joining Donald Trump's campaign in August, Kennedy has become one of the president-elect's staunchest - and most trusted - advisors, even share McDonald's with Trump, his eldest son, Don Jr, and Elon Musk.

The America-attacking Trump is coming for our military — and then he's coming for us | Opinion Opinion by D. Earl Stephens Iconsidered waiting to publish this dire warning about what will be coming in the wake of the America-attacking Trump’s inauguration in two months, because too many good people are being asked to process too many terrible things right now. This simply had to be put to paper, though, because I would be remiss if I didn’t urgently warn you that Trump’s takeover of our military is at the top of his dirty to-do list, and at the tip of his toxic spear in his quest to murder our Democracy. Once you understand that Trump will use his presidency and whatever is left of his miserable life to settle scores and return the favors of the crooked dictators, and slobbery weaklings in his political party, who helped put him back in office, you can better prepare for the hell that’s most assuredly coming. You can never say you weren't warned, because if you believe nothing else I type today, you damn well better believe this: NOTHING Trump does with our military will be to protect the citizens of the United States of America. EVERYTHING Trump does with our military will be to protect himself from the citizens of the United States of America. Please read that again, and bookmark it. By words and by deed it is clear as day that Trump has absolutely no respect for the United States of America he violently assaulted, or our men and women who wear the uniform, because like any authoritarian leader he sees them as servants to him, and not our country. The flashing red lights are everywhere, and our pathetic and complicit corporate media are still by and large ignoring them and missing in action. As Trump begins his assault on our freedoms, senior general and flag officers will be his primary targets, because he sees them as a threat to his unchecked power — impediments to allowing him to rain hell on anybody who disagrees with him. He has called our generals and admirals “woke, weak, and ineffective leaders,” and has said repeatedly he knows how to do their jobs better than they do. He intends to make these men and women bend the knee to him, or else. In his first term, the despicable Trump thought he could make military leaders like Generals Jim Mattis and John Kelly see things his way by appointing them to this staff. He called them, “my generals.” When that didn't quite happen, he had somebody else fire them, because he was too gutless to, or they simply quit, because they could no longer surrender their dignity to such a fragile, evil little man. You’ll remember that throughout that first presidency, which just had to be his last, he was dying to have tanks roll down the streets of Washington, D.C., because there’s no sense being completely inadequate unless your are going to show it to the entire world. Trump is wasting no time with his second chance to destroy America, and chillingly confirmed on Monday that he intends to declare a national emergency as soon as he assumes office, and will use our military to assist in the mass deportations of illegal immigrants in our country.

Los Angeles passes ‘sanctuary city’ ordinance after Trump vows mass deportations The Los Angeles City Council passed a “sanctuary city” ordinance Tuesday unanimously to protect immigrants after President-elect Trump vowed to begin mass deportations. The ordinance passed on a 13-0 vote Tuesday after it was drafted more than a year ago. The ordinance will codify the protection of migrants in municipal law. At the council meeting, members of the public expressed concern for the next Trump administration and a desire to protect the city’s immigrant population. Pro-immigrant protesters spoke on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall before the vote, chanting in Spanish, “What do we want? Sanctuary. When do we want it? Now,” Reuters reported. “Sanctuary cities” generally refer to local areas that “decline to cooperate completely with the federal detention requests related to undocumented immigrants,” according to Britannica. On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support mass deportation. In September, Trump said if he won the election he would call on Congress to pass legislation banning sanctuary cities. “As soon as I take office, we will immediately surge federal law enforcement to every city that is failing, which is a lot of them, to turn over criminal aliens, and we will hunt down, capture every single gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer and migrant criminal that is being illegally harbored,” he said at a campaign rally in North Carolina. “I will ask Congress to pass a law outlawing sanctuary cities nationwide,” Trump said.

Near enough. One was highlighted, so it was 'seat' - singular. The 1% Club was shown on Wednesday nights, but the last couple of weks were repeats. Its timeslot has been taken up by a new reality show, "The Big Trip". I don't know how long the series is.

Bob Woodward Recalls What Donald Trump Told Him In 2016 And Why ‘We Better Be Frightened’ Legendary Watergate reporter Bob Woodward on Tuesday remembered what President-elect Donald Trump once told him in 2016 about his idea of power, and explain what it could mean for Americans during Trump’s second term. “Asked about power, what is power, and he [Trump] said ‘Real power is … I even don’t like to use the word … but real power is fear,’” Woodward recalled to CNN’s Laura Coates. “That’s something Trump realized eight years ago, maybe all of his life, and realizes now, you have to scare people,” Woodward added. Trump is “going to be president for four years” and “having chronicled 10 presidents going back to Nixon, they have extraordinary power and Trump’s going to use it,” Woodward said later. “He used it his first term, maybe not adequately from his own point of view, so he’s going to use it and we better be frightened,” he added. During an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, meanwhile, Woodward said Trump risked squandering the goodwill that is often given to incoming presidents with his controversial Cabinet picks. “If he’s just going to throw sand in the eyes of his own party and rationality, he’s going to defeat himself, in a way,” suggested Woodward, who has interviewed Trump multiple times for his books.

Donald Trump's New ‘Nepotism’ Line Has Critics In Disbelief President-elect Donald Trump’s claim that no-one mentioned the issue of cronyism when his daughter-in-law Lara Trump was installed earlier this year as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee was met with mockery on social media. “And then we got Lara involved. And nobody said, ‘Oh gee, nepotism.’ They actually said, ‘I can’t believe she’s doing it,’” Trump told an audience at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The PatriotTakes monitoring group shared video of Trump’s comments online. But nepotism was most certainly talked about on many, many, many, many occasions about Lara Trump, who is married to Trump scion Eric Trump, taking one of the RNC’s top roles. Critics suggested it was more proof of gaslighting from Trump, who The Washington Post reported made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his first term.
