I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”
migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.

Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

The traditional English urge to admire (vote for) the privileged who go to elitist private schools with their dumbass 'debate' clubs (i.e. contest to see who speaks most convincingly to manipulate the others) has produced some of the most manipulative, populist grifters in UK politics.

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich college which charges £55,155 a year.

He then went on to be a Stock Trader like Rishi Sunak, he has never worked a day in his life.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

En veure gent corrent, he tingut un flashback a la meva epoca... amb 16-17 anys, uns amics sortiem de classe a correr un parell d'hores en divendres, en pluja i fang, i acabavem al pub sense canvi de roba ni dutxa; 4 o 5 pintes de cervesa, fish & chips de cami a casa, i a dormir com un bebé (porc).

Veient comentaris sobre pavos avui, lo tipic intoxicació-potencial quan jo vivia a Anglaterra era oblidar de descongelar el pavo i passar el mati del Nadal amb lo bitxo a la banyera plena d'aigua intentant tenir-ho minimament descongelat per a rellenar i cuinar (unes hores més).

El single #Disco2000 va sortir un dia com avui fa 30 anys. Per cert, no van poder 'meet up by the fountain down the road' a l'any 2000, ja que l'ajuntament de Sheffield havia tombat la font en qüestió un parell d'anys abans de l'esperada retrobada ☹️

A very special first edition of The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall, Anne Bronte's brilliant, searing novel of abuse and courage which still resonates today. This belonged to Anne Bronte herself and was gifted to her friend Ellen Nussey.
