No it's marriage you need permission for under 18.

It used to be under 21 for marriage. My Dad needed permission from his parents (and his commanding officer because he was in the army) to marry my Mum.

Carole Malone may be a woman, but she doesn't speak for me.

Zack seems to be doing better representing my interests as a woman and otherwise.

Carry on Zack

People want assurance it won't be all, "my friend and colleague" and "time for healing not recriminations" down the line. That's what got you into this mess. Actually do it and finish the fucking job this time.

Without that "accountability" is an empty buzzword, one of many from Jeffries & Schumer.

The age of consent hasn't changed in the UK. It's still 16.

It's illegal at 18 if it's a person with responsibility for them like a teacher or coach.

Either way, what the law is where you are is what counts and some girls were under 16 and many trafficked to other territories to be exploited.

He claims to never have seen anything egregious or wrong.

He's like Nelson holding the spyglass to his blind eye

They ate buffaloes.

They didn't hunt them to the brink of extinction for sport.

Colonisers did that.

🤔

They're really worried the turnout will be massive and peaceful.

They're trying to encourage counter protest by their "radical, small and violent base" by branding protestors as traitors.

This is dangerous.

WTF? He's somehow managing to be more of a cringe embarrassment to the nation than Boris and Truss.

Slurmsadako MacKenzie @slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · 1d

Omg

Keir Starmer inexplicably turned around staring at the wall in a press conference with various world leaders, after being embarrassed by Trump.

The end scene of the Blair Witch Project, with Mike standing in the corner facing the wall in the basement.

Plus of course, it was in no way, shape or form Biden's FBI are the time. It was Trump's.

So what exactly is the "something" they think Trump wants them to do?

Linda Henderson @lincynity.bsky.social · 1d

With him signing off "President DJT" I'd guess that post was intended to be a DM to someone again (this buffoon has nukes btw)

But while I had a feeling it would be taken as incitement it didn't occur to me anyone MAGA would be stupid enough to go 'Hey look everybody, he's inciting something!'

Go ahead and name a few Stalin and Mao fans of note. I'll wait....

It's the man described here being in control of nuclear weapons, the vast numbers of fanatical supporters at his beck and call and Stephen Miller calling the shots that's worrying and not to be underestimated rather than Trump himself.

Linda Henderson @lincynity.bsky.social · 1d

Never met anyone on the left do anything but condemn the actions of Khmer Rouge and Stalin etc.

Heard plenty from the right ranging from apologism to outright support of Hitler and went to school with someone who became an overt Neo-Nazi.

That's what false equivalence means.

Now you're just making shit up, I haven't seen anyone on the left give Fuentes "soft treatment".

Are you really so starved of attention you need to farm for engagement now?

Linda Henderson @lincynity.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah right, because it's normal to bomb countries you don't bear hostility to of course.

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

Yeah didn't he sign that "President DJT" too?

Who does he want to "DO SOMETHING"? Unless he's inciting his followers to take some sort of action.

Linda Henderson @lincynity.bsky.social · 2d

So where is the footage of them being violent?

Why doesn't he post that?

Because he's a lying propagandist shill and it doesn't exist, that's why.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

Apparently Biden was running the FBI on J6, while Trump was still in office according to Trump.

Either something timey-wimey is going on or they're spouting bullshit.

(It's definitely the bullshit)

Interesting theory but while the invite may have officially come from Charles, the government decides who he invites for official visits.

Starmer is why Trump visited, he wanted to suck up.
