Mary Trump: βFor Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
Lovely! I'm from the north of England, and I'm incapable of reading 'Muscovy duck', and not hearing it as 'Moohscuvy doohk'.
The principal cause of antisemitism in the world today is Netanyahu and his sick and twisted regime.
There are many, many Jewish people throughout the world who oppose his genocide in Gaza, yet who will also suffer because of it. But, there are also many Zionists egging him on.
I've never quite forgiven him for ducking out on finishing the canon, which I started reading years before the TV series. I accepted that it took him four years per novel, and possessed my soul in patience waiting for each one but then when 'A Dance with Dragons' was six years in the making...!
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβfar higher than the Pentagonβs publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
I live in Greece, where the speed limits through most towns and villages is a whopping 30kph, equivalent to ohhhh... 18 mph. Has been like that for many years. Hit and run is vanishingly rare.
He actually commissioned the writing of the Highway Code and introduced 30 mph speed limits, as I said in my second post. We owe him a lot.
It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

Screeching 180 from Reform leader Farage whoβs gone from Trumpian βBomb the Islamistsβ to βWe cannot get involved directly in another foreign war, we donβt have a Navy, we canβt even defend our own military base in Cyprusβ overnight.
Heβs seen the polling showing the public donβt support the war.
When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

If they said that in a country which has decent slander and libel laws they'd be sued, and they'd lose. What vile pretenses of human beings they are.
Not just the Middle East, either... petrol in Rethymno, Greece, today has gone up by 64 US cents per US gallon. Overnight.
Not our war, but we suffer all the same.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
Weβre barely a week into Trumpβs war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
Thank you! I needed a giggle.
The problem isn't voter fraud, it's the frauds we're told to vote for.

Iβm a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit
I recommend this article by The Bear for further reading:
TBF, LH-B did introduce 30mph speed limits, driving tests and proper road crossings, thereby saving thousands of lives.
He was a brilliant speaker, a warm and engaging personality, a go-getter and a persistent driver, a master of the unconventional or indirect approach, a patriot and a man of moral and physical courage, not a great intellect but an original with a flair for imaginative gestures and for public relations. He also had personal weaknesses. He was extremely self-centred and had a fine conceit of himself. At times he was accused of sharp practice. ... Sharp practitioner or not, [his] quickness of mind and tongue, and transparent ambition to be seen to succeed, made him vulnerable to smears. ... His over-assertiveness ... led him to appear inconsiderate of the feelings and views of others.
One historian's description of him in the ALT.
The British public learned something from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Apparently some politicians didnβt.
While Farage and Badenoch push escalation with Iran, most Britons are saying something very simple:
Abso-fucking-lutely not.

Lovely! They're such handsome birds. We don't get them here on Crete, so when two winters ago one hitched a lift on the ferry from Athens, the ferry port was filled with desperate twitchers!

Yesterday's capture was of a Raven drinking; I noticed that it turned its head sideways to get the maximum amount of water in its upper and lower bill. Here's it doing that thing. Clever birds, aren't they?
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
Keyboard Warrior Markwayne Mullin:

RIGHT: Cowering and shitting his pants in real life.
It is worth remembering that only *one* of these men paid a price for the Access Hollywood recording. And it wasn't the one bragging about sexually assaulting women.
And now we have evidence that that same man raped children. And there is *still* no accountability.
