You mean she hasn't fixed 14 years of corrupt Tory destruction in 12 months? Bloody Labour.

To be arrested you have to know that the person arresting you has the authority to do so. Otherwise it's just abduction by persons unknown and you have the right to fight back!

I wonder why you did buy it from China then? I'm guessing you didn't want to pay the home-produced price.

Now you still don't want to, but the very stable genius is going to force you to.

"California, the whole nation is counting on you."

"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Boris Johnson cost tens of thousands of lives and billions of pounds by locking down late. Three times.

The one thing they did promptly was set up a corrupt VIP lane to award corrupt contracts to their corrupt mates.

And that feels like something for which he could definitely be prosecuted.

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

I wish they never had. Imagine, a Press Secretary with a conscience who wanted to tell the truth. White House staff who were honest, and wanted to improve the country.

Instead, wall to wall corrupt liars.

It wouldn't matter being rich enough if you weren't the kind of cnut to start endless frivolous lawsuits.

Never make such an utterly despicable cnut President again.

If you're sick you will have very little option other than to become poor.

1/ I'm sure you've heard by now, but on Friday, about 1,300 CDC employees, including top scientists & vaccine experts, were abruptly fired.

In a stunning reversal the next day, hundreds were then reinstated. We're not sure why the administration reversed course, but the damage has still been done.
