Listening to his speech live. Please, someone shut him up. An hour at least. No sign of ending.
Shoot me.
Wait he's stopped! 🍾🍻

The world is listening to his speech in Israel. I am seriously starting to doubt my grasp on reality. This halfwit is President of the United States?
Frontotemporal dementia. It's obvious, and more knowledgeable people, than I, professionals, have also diagnosed him as having the condition

Interpreters at the Knesset are throwing themselves from windows as I speak.
Never in the field of politics has one man talked for so long without saying anything that made sense

Those stay awake meds are kicking in. I'm still listening to his "speech" to the Knesset.
He wasn't allowed to address the UK Parliament during his state visit.
A metaphorical bullet dodged.
Will he ever shut up? No sign yet

DO SOMETHING!
For once, I agree with Taco. The incumbent President should be jailed. That President being Donald Judas Trump

I'm listening to Taco's speech to the Knesset live. An hour, with not a single coherent sentence and no sign of him shutting up in the foreseeable future.
Kill me.....

Trump is wittering on about a "Board of Peace" 🤡
I don't know what that is, I'm listening to his speech from the Knesset live and am losing the will to live.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Boudicca is celebrated in Britain, though even England did not exist. It's not odd that Italians celebrate Columbus

The postwar children were brainwashed to believe that taxes were inherently evil and that obvious social advances like universal healthcare would lead somehow to gulags and oppression.
In truth, they were conditioned to oppose taxes on the wealthy, even when those taxes were for their own benefit

Remember what happened to Tsar Nicholas II. Marie Antoinette. The Ceaucescus.
In Britain, there is still huge wealth inequality, but the poorest are helped, and there is outcry if help is curtailed.
In America, the poor were collateral damage in the paranoia around communism and "socialism"

Good luck to you from a concerned Brit. I watched the finale of Peacemaker last week. Chris is snatched by masked agents of ARGUS.
Just a year ago, that would be fantasy. Masked men kidnapping people?
That would never happen in the US. Not I see it on the news. It's horrendous 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇪🇺🇦🇺🇳🇿🇺🇦

Come to Britain and mention Prince Andrew! The late Queen paid hush money, but the scandal is NEVER going away, and Andy is genuinely despised by Royalists, Republicans and those with no strong views on the Monarchy itself

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.
