#uspoli #TRUMP

For anyone yet to realise just how racist Trump US is.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

US will limit number of refugees to 7,500 and give priority to white South Africans

Low number represents a dramatic drop after US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and persecution

#chelseafc #ktbffh #LiamDelap

I am so pissed at Liam Delap. First game after a long injury and he needlessly gets himself sent off. This could've of cost Chelsea the game - but luckily they came through 4-3. What incensed me the most about it was Delap grinning like a moron walking off the pitch.
