Cut the hyperbole , your statement is disingenuous as drones didn’t exist in the US military til 2001 . So you’re actually saying he authorized more drone strikes than Bush Jr, Biden and Trump . . It’s also untrue - Trump authorized way more than Obama.

Unexpected rabbit hole today is discovering that "Phwoar!" was first recorded by the dictionary in 1976, and 1972's Carry On Matron may be its first film appearance.

I thought I'd found an earlier 60s TV use, but it seems "Phwoar!" is firmly a 70s phenomenon.

Reform run councils have found little savings and are considering raising taxes the max they can…

They’re certainly planning regime change in Venezuela - a distraction war in 2027-8 to take control of some the largest global oil reserves and suspend habeas corpus in the US.

She is not the greatest …. She’s very much a Trumpette - reminds me a little of the prelude to US efforts to install Juntas in Latin America in the past .

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.
