"THE STATE OF EMERGENCY IS IN AMERICA, NOT CHICAGO, AND IT'S BIRTHED FROM THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION...AND THOSE ARE MY WORDS TO YOU MR. TRUMP, BEFORE YOU DARE SPEAK ABOUT ANY VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO, LOOK INTO YOUR MIRROR AND ADDRESS THE VIOLENCE COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE."

A false premise that fear of dismissal keeps people loyal.

So untrue. If you always pick the people who "speak unto you", you will be conspired against.....

As his highness Donny Trump is finding out.

Both the Tories and Labour purged anybody in their party who refused to blindly follow orders. Both became weaker, less talented, dying parties as a result.

It's been over a dozen years but every now and then I think about how my 11th grade English teacher told me I couldn't submit my short story for an assignment cause the story took place over like 6 months. She said short stories can only take place in a short period of time, like a few hours.

That the Nobel Peach Prize was *not* awarded to thirsty Donald Trump makes it wonderful. That it was awarded to a woman makes it even better. That she is from a country Trump slanders makes it even better. That it was awarded for promoting democracy, something Trump undermines, makes it perfection.

Oh dear, as soon as politicians start quoting bible verses, religious tropes and "principles", you know that discussion and argument are dead.

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

I love that the folks in Norway didn't want to just deprive Donald Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize he was so shamelessly hungry for, they awarded it instead to someone he would hate, a decent Latina woman working against undemocratic authoritarianism. Nice touch. 👨‍🍳👄

In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Donald Trump certainly has not forgotten this.

Which is why he is systematically dismantling all these things, so he and his fellow robbers can make lots of $$$$$$$$$

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
