The Scottish government doesn’t want to pay the bill for Donald Trump and JD Vance’s summer trips — and London doesn’t want to stump up the cash either.

London battles Scotland over who pays for Trump, Vance visits

The Scottish government wants Westminster to fund the politicians’ trips. But the Treasury won’t open its wallet.

Looks like they bolted them to the blocks. You could probably lean on them, and they'd fall over pulling the blocks out.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

The original Antifa was Antifaschistische Aktion, created by Germans to oppose Adolf Hitler.

It existed from 1932-1933, then Hitler banned it and declared all its members terrorists.

History never changes, fat orange fascists just try to repeat it.

It’s time that Russia’s malign influence on British politics was properly investigated.

Agree? Add your name 👇🏻

It’s time for a REAL Russia report

Putin’s fingerprints are all over our politics. It’s time to prove it.

Aux États-Unis, ici, partout, la police est raciste, la police est violente.

Et cette institution est payée par nous.

De plus, deux personnes qui ont porté assistance à Erika McGriff lorsqu’elle se faisait tabasser ont été interpellées pour avoir enfreint la loi Halo.

Le fascisme quoi.

“On the positive side, the fact that Trump is making this such a personal success for himself may imply that he will be far less forgiving if Israel sabotages the deal once again.”
True. This is all about his narcissism. He cannot be seen losing a deal, and if this deal fell apart, it’d be on him

Trita Parsi @tparsi.bsky.social · 16d

I write in @RStatecraft that an overlooked aspect of why Trump decided to push for a Gaza deal is that Israel was increasingly becoming a political burden. Israel’s standing has been tanking among America Firsters.

Trump Gaza Deal will work: If he keeps pressure on Israel

If not, he risks another failure as his first ceasefire agreement fell by the wayside shortly after hostages were released

trump thinks he's got immunity, but the military KNOWS that they DO NOT have *any* sort of immunity.

If they obey illegal orders, they are fucked.

All of them, from the generals to the privates.

This is beaten into your head from the first class in bootcamp, during every "use of force"

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

None taken. Well done on the maths, I knew it was unrealistic as a concept, but then so is surviving on Mars.
There may be moons out there that could protect us better.
