As a European, it has been obvious for decades Americans have actively pushed the idea of “President” as King/Emperor.

Et voila, now you have a nasal-breathing child rapist draft-dodger as King.

“Hell mend you” as they say in Scotland.

This is where a Scots/Irish grandmother would kick in nonchalantly & say “why dear, us auld yins talk about *everything* - whether you like it or not.

Do you want more bread with yer soup?”

Closest thing to universal ADHD experience is force feeding someone 25 strong coffees, then strapping their upper body to a swivel chair…then tell them they MUST pay the bills that are on the table in front of them.

They’ll spin around, get all stressed out - but be unable to do anything.THATS ADHD

Both my parents got bombed during WWII, along with my grandparents - I even played in multiple bomb shelters as a kid in the 70s.

Why even give any publicity to idiots like this.

Soldiers of Ukraine’s 12th Azov Brigade intercepted footage from a Russian FPV drone showing Russian operators hunting down civilian farmers and targeting agricultural equipment in Donetsk region. Another war crime added to the growing list of Russia’s violations against peaceful Ukrainians.

You are crediting him with a level of intelligence that he doesn’t actually deserves.

There’s no link between No Kings & the East Wing Desecration.

He is a child who commands & gets what he wants.

End of.

Reason it’s called the “ball room”, is cos he needs somewhere big enough to store all the balls that shrank then fell off Republican Congressmen & Senators.

I understand that it’s strategic to remain peaceful at these protests, but I’m at a loss why being a bit tactical by throwing spikes under ICE tyres isn’t a thing.

Someone runs up, puts a Stinger line under an ICE vehicle then runs away. Other anti-ICE cover for them.

No vehicles=no terrorism

You can learn far more about British society & history from our graveyards than from what is taught in our schools.

I never got taught about the Boer War, Spanish Flu or consumption & polio - I learned about them from wandering around graveyards as a curious kid.

Kinda heartening to see. As a Scot, I genuinely love the Welsh, we have deep cultural ties that the likes of Reform have no clue about.

I can predict one thing though - the second that Farage enters Number10 is the last day of the United Kingdom, cos the only thing more toxic than Maggie is Farage.

In just 48 hours, Czech volunteers from “Gift for Putin” raised over $600,000 to buy a Flamingo missile for Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Organizers expected it to take a week, this record-breaking result came in two days.

Ah, I wasn’t disagreeing with anyone! Rereading I can see how it could have been interpreted that way. Annoyance with such short text responses.
Was saying we should all try to do positive things for kids, even when they go through their grotty goblin phase! Many turn out to be fine young adults.

I sacrificed years of my my kids young lives to be a youth leader. Was it easy? No. I could have said “fuck it” at any point. Thing is, I remember oldest guys being there when I was young.
They gave us moral guidance. I’ve done the same for another generation, cos nobody else would.

As said elsewhere:

Surprised ICE didn’t handcuff the brunette with the black crop-top, skintights & bubble-bum, for crimes against “goddamm…she can move”.

New Zealand has the Haka as a war dance. Portland has Zumba.

The only thing missing was the inflatable frog joining in.

@dangerjane.bsky.social - feel free to be a positive role model for 10-13 yr old boys, or not.

50% of the 10-13 yr old population are male. Do you want them taught to be dickheads or not?

Fucking easy to critique, harder to be a positive part of their lives.

OCB1640 @ocb1640.bsky.social · 23h

What they’re doing *is* a Haka tbh - it’s why I mention it.

It’s a challenge to *fight*- which the cowards in ICE etc with their covered faces & tactical gear *cannot* stand…genuine bravery.

Guys hiding behind masks, caps & sunglasses *are* cowards.

Don’t push your luck. I was chief Scout for 450+ kids (=1000 parents). TBF, there is a moment you should let boys be boys: amongst them & nobody else. They genuinely don’t give a shit about anyone else at that point.
Girls are the same tbh.

Boys need solid moral direction, not bullshit.

@justinwolfers.bsky.social - as much as this is an anathema to an academic economist (as someone who studied in the same Faculty as Adam Smith), Trumpian economics is as delusional as Trumpian planning permission to knock down parts of the White House.

He *doesn’t give a shit*

Wake the fuck up

Ladies - I’m a 55 yr old very Celtic Scots bloke.

I had a highly intelligent mother, grandmother, aunts & female cousins.

If one thing that pisses me off, is the assumption that all men disrespect their womenfolk.

FFS, my Mum was my biggest hero, as much as my dad.

I have a daughter ffs.

Yes, clearly. So many levels of sarcasm, politics & sexism tho.

She is clearly laughing her ass off though, & for me - that’s what has me laughing so loudly.

A young woman dancing her ass off as a protest, with style.

Bravo!

As an “old European”, when folks vote for a rapist - expect to lift your arse & be fucked harder than you’ve ever been fucked before.

Gotta love the stupidity of so many MAGA who thought Trump would “just” be a fascist against people *they* hated!

Merkans are the stupidest of people.

I do “half-Ultradian Rhythms” - the 22 minute thing.

Huh.

Ultradians sound like they’re a race from Dune, and 22 minutes - so must be a catch.

Hey, how about a Catch22/Dune crossover film?!

Paul Atreides spends ages pretending he’s insane, so he doesn’t have to go bomb the Harkonnen.

OCB1640 @ocb1640.bsky.social · 1d

Alas, the cruelty *is* the point.

MAGA (so-called Christians) would rather a woman & her unborn child die, rather than a brown-skinned “anchor-baby” pollute the “Merkan Master Race”

White supremacy is that openly evil.

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say

The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.
