Could still be either at this point - we don't know.

I'm not alone either - I have had conversations with former British military friends who have said the same.

This world is really messed up atm but we will find a way through it - or gain valour in the attempt.

Stay strong friend.

It looks like that sh*thead Trump has been throwing his weight and cankles around the Oval Office with Zelenskyy again. This time in private though.

God I hate that traitorous sex offending piece of crap!

NATO needs to go it alone!

We're veterans though friend & not everyone has the resilience we do. We ran to the fight when most don't in all honesty.
But do remember this - there will be plenty of MAGA that see what's coming & will leave prior too. So it should balance out.
Hell if it comes to it me & others will come from UK

Hey fellas

@safety.bsky.app
@support.bsky.team

If you want to stop BlueSky turning into the hellscape which X is - then start HERE as indicated.
I estimate at least 50% of these are bot/fake accounts.
Remember - we all left X because it's a hellhole and we can do the same again.

Who is paying for/creating these new MAGA bot accounts? Or who is encouraging them to come to BlueSky all of a sudden?
(notice how most have handles ending in numbers - like X bots)
No way is this situation organic!
What is
@support.bsky.team
@safety.bsky.app

doing to investigate the situation?

Why are the BBC are trying to help 'whitewash' George Santos's reputation?
Are they getting a retainer from Trump perhaps - or are they currying favour to get better White House access?

I don't have a TV licence so I don't pay for this sh*t - do you?

Rich Aixill @badgerthecat.bsky.social · 4h

Here we have the BBC blatantly simping for Trump.

This was supposedly a BBC report about Vance's attendance at the US Marine Corps 250th anniversary event - not a political rally.

I've cancelled my TV licence so I don't pay for this sh*t - do you?
