Here, again, is Donald Trump, President of the USA and Liar-in-Chief, having nothing to do with "disgusting" Epstein.
You would think they’d be better at this with the consequences being so high.

So, Joshua against Paul. Great that Netflix is showing sport but this farce. And the commentating: Jake Paul was competitive? Competitive at hide and seek, maybe. Boxing? Couldn't even stand up. Yes, Joshua was playing with his food.

Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's home spokesmen on BBC Breakfast this morning confirming the racism of the party. Not interested in answering questions, just interested in lying again and again about what PM Starmer said about Reform's deportation policy. Stupid man.

Pfft. Where are the nunchucks?
I helped out with the behaviour side of this. All hypothetical of course, but based on some sound ideas about how combat often goes in big carnivores. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgoT...

I've only just noticed just how much RFK looks like one of those rubber finger puppets. You know the ones - you stuck your fingers in the back and moved them to make the face move.

And not being any of these is absolutely fine.
Nobody knows what Keir Starmer stands for & believes in. He has no vision or purpose. But there is as big a malaise at the heart of this Labour government which goes beyond Starmer. What does it stand for except to not be Corbyn, Tories or Farage? #Newsnight

The planet's population growth is unsustainable. Low birth rate is not a problem... except to the billionaires who rely on economic slavery to maintain themselves.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Seen under a post about a Caldwell school opening a food pantry. I hate these people and I will expose them. They comment on a public post, I’ll share it with their name.

When Saudi Arabia killed a journalist in a political move, there was uproar among Western politicians. The racist state Israel does it...

I'm struggling to understand why the BMA, with a **starting** salary of over £18.60 an hour for Resident Doctors, think that this is low pay. It isn't. And, when they deliberately use misleading and outdated inflation stats, no wonder there is less support than previously. In their own world

So Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservatives, thinks her leadership will be more successful by reshuffling the Shadow Cabinet. Unfortunately she's missed the point. The leadership problem is Kemi Badenoch. No policy direction, no idea.

BBC Breakfast this morning. Well done to Mel Stride, Shadow Chancellor, for admitting that the Conservatives Party made terrible mistakes with the economy.
Well, OK, he meant by Labour but it wasn't Labour who left a canyon in the UK government's finances, was it?

Contrary to popular opinion, not every insane, corrupt, maniacal thing they do is calculated to distract us from a thing you think is more important. They aren’t usually playing 4-D chess here. The majority of time it is just because they’re insane, corrupt and maniacal.
