Why does the US self-harm? Prohibition (stupid, unfeasible policy), McCarthyism, civil unrest, Vietnam, war on Iraq because some Saudis attacked the US, sub-prime mortgage crisis, and now fascism because the alternative was a sensible black female President.
A great country now run by a madman.

Trump is more concerned about a nurse legally carrying a weapon (and not using it) than a gunman who allegedly grazed his ear.
He continually rails against all sorts of people, often in the early hours of the morning, but never mentions the man who supposedly tried to kill him. Very strange.

If a bullet whizzes past your ear, or grazes it imperceptibly, why does the 'blood' spurt in the opposite direction?
Still, great photo. Sold a lot of t-shirts.

Farage thinks the minimum wage for younger age groups is too generous, as are public service pensions. He'll be receiving an estimated EU pension of £73K.
Neither the state pension nor the NHS is safe in his hands. Apart from being nasty to immigrants and copying Trump, he has nothing to offer.

Vote Reform, get Liz Truss's government.

How does immigrant Melania Trump feel when she sees ICE officers behaving like this? The same Melania who brought her parents to the US in the chain migration that people like Stephen Miller detest.

Keep those Tory defectors coming, Farage. Reform is now clearly a party of millionaires and far-right ex-Tories.
By the way, where's Ann Widdecombe?

How would ICE respond to these people being out on the streets flaunting their weaponry? No action taken: just Republicans celebrating Christmas in their own insane way.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and proud killer, Donald Trump, portrays immigrants as rapists and killers. Where's the evidence?
For example, how many people rounded up by ICE are citizens, or undocumented (not a federal crime)? Without such basic data, how can further funding be authorised?

Suella Braverman defects to Reform <yawn>. This enemy of multiculturalism belongs to the Triratna Buddhist sect.
Reform is fast becoming the home of far-right Tories who contributed to the massive general election defeat.
How ironic if the UK elects a far-right govt just after the US ejects Trump.

Musk was horrified when people in the UK were jailed for inciting violent rioting against immigrants.
Presumably he's championing US citizens who are exercising their right to free speech. Isn't he?

Joseph Boam has thankfully already been sacked from his roles within Leicestershire Council. Whilst the rest of us watch on with horror the murderous actions of ICE, of course he and other Reform members gladly proclaim their racist support.

Twenty years ago, a movie that depicted America as an authoritarian state with government-employed thugs roaming the streets killing citizens and a President trying to destroy NATO would have seemed ridiculously far-fetched.
