Donald Trump has never been known for his vocabulary. When he’s not mispronouncing words, he’s mis-using them. And when he’s mis-using them, he’s usually destroying democracy around the world. Which brings us to this clip from a recent Trump press conference in which the President tries to claim credit for the “regime change” that has, […] The post Donald Trump tried out a new definition of ‘regime change’ in Iran and got brutally owned into next week appeared first on The Poke.

Things are not going well in the Middle East. Anyone outside of the Oval Office can see that with their eyes.

Over on TikTok, the @goatdaddys account shares cute footage from the farm – and animal sanctuary – that 17 baby goats call home. Although, they probably call it “Meeeehhhhh!”, to be honest.

Donald Trump loves the sound of his own voice. He has absolutely no problem rambling on for hours in front of the cameras. It doesn’t matter what he’s saying, so long as he’s forcing everyone to listen to him, he’s happy. Even when he’s slurring his words, mixing up his words, or incriminating himself with […] The post Donald Trump used three different phrases to describe the Iran war all in the same press conference so don’t worry, the US totally has this under control appeared first on The Poke.

Pete Hegseth continues to treat global warfare like a 10-year-old boy playing with tiny green army figurines in his basement. The latest statement he made proves just how out of depth he is right now. The Secretary of Defense laid out his negotiating strategy and — SHOCKER — it involves killing anyone who disagrees with […] The post Pete Hegseth laid out his very own brand of diplomacy strategy and it’s two parts terrifying, one part depraved, with a dash of insecurity to top it off appeared first on The Poke.

Not everybody can be a people person – or even a person person. There are plenty of us who’d rather keep our own company than run the gauntlet of other people’s bad jokes, stinky lunches, or holiday snaps. We’re not suggesting that Clinton is one of those people, but reading between the lines of this […] The post Someone asked which jobs would suit people who hate everyone, and these 17 fit the grumpy bill appeared first on The Poke.

Another Wednesday, another PMQs, where it’s not an entirely unfamiliar sight to see Nigel Farage getting schooled in one way or another. What made this Wednesday out of the ordinary was that Keir Starmer’s takedown of the Reform UK leader appeared to get under Farage’s skin so much that he promptly walked out. Along with […] The post Keir Starmer owned Nigel Farage so hard at PMQs that he and the rest of his Reform UK MPs walked out appeared first on The Poke.

We’ve said before – and we’ll say it again – how much we miss Harry Hill’s TV Burp (yes, we know it’s been gone for a while now). But we’ve been thinking about it again after coming across this Harry Hill Q&A about the show from back in the day. Specifically, this tale about how […] The post Harry Hill’s tale of how Jamie Oliver once took great offence at TV Burp is a celebrity troll for the ages appeared first on The Poke.
