Pete Hegseth was asked how his war on Iran was not a war crime and furious response was not the slam dunk he thought it was

11 June 2026 @ 1:47 pm

There seems to be an emerging pattern when it comes to the Trump Administration’s relationship with the press. Whenever members of the media ask a question that gets a little too close to the truth, the Trump official lashes out. Which brings us, conveniently, to Pete Hegseth’s latest press conference on Operation Epic Fury. The […] The post Pete Hegseth was asked how his war on Iran was not a war crime and furious response was not the slam dunk he thought it was appeared first on The Poke.

11 June 2026 @ 1:38 pm

Let’s travel back in time for a moment, shall we? The year is 2020. America has just elected a veteran politician to lead its united states towards prosperity in a fair and verified election. A grumpy orange man doesn’t want to accept this as fact. He causes many problems because of his beliefs.

11 June 2026 @ 11:59 am

Those newspaper and magazine Q&As and ‘life in the days’ and all that sort of thing – soft features, I think they call them in the trade – invariably make for an interesting read.

It’s Scottish […] The post This hilarious old football Q&A has just gone viral again and it’s an absolute classic of the genre appeared first on The Poke.

We can see how many people follow them and vice versa, how many times they’ve posted, and even how many people like what they have to say.

The White House website appears to have weaponised its official website against its enemies in the press – 15 fair and balanced replies

11 June 2026 @ 11:18 am

Over the years, Donald Trump’s skin has looked ghostly white, glowingly orange, or tomato red. But one thing has remained constant: it’s extremely thin. Any time someone offers unkind words about the President, he fires back in a storm of spittle and insecurity. That used to just mean press conferences or social media meltdowns. Now […] The post The White House website appears to have weaponised its official website against its enemies in the press – 15 fair and balanced replies appeared first on The Poke.

Turns out Americans eat at tables sat next to the football and the transatlantic divide has never felt wider

It’s fair to say people have mixed feelings about the football World Cup in the USA. It’s one of the great sporting festivals, of course, but the shadow of Donald Trump looms large over everything. Very large. But there is surely one thing we can all agree on and it’s that this should never, ever […] The post Turns out Americans eat at tables sat next to the football and the transatlantic divide has never felt wider appeared first on The Poke.
