A martial arts/self-defence instructor, and retired police officer. I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a turd than vote for the Tories or Reform UK. Oh, and fascists? Don't just hope they'll fuck off. They never have, unless we made them. Jeff

They’re using people’s donations to Palestinian families in Gaza as evidence of terrorism in the UK, is Starmer on drugs? People were buying them baby formula.

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇

I can't believe Charlie Kirk was actually less annoying when he was alive

Please seek Jesus

I did and I found him. Dark-skinned middle- eastern dude who loved everyone regardless of race, gender, class, refugee status, and sexual identity.

So, basically everything Charlie Kirk stood against.

Friday night Tequila tweet: I’m so fucking sick of how divisive Trump & his people are. Here she is, using her official government office for political/partisan purposes. To trash Democrats. It’s wrong, it’s illegal, & it’s a really shitty thing to do. I’m fucking sick of them trying to divide us.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

The Israeli airstrikes that hit southern Lebanon moments ago.

A massive nighttime explosion engulfs the sky in flames and thick orange smoke. Power lines and transmission towers are silhouetted against the intense fire, suggesting the blast occurred near an industrial or power facility.

Despite some people trying to frame it as some "resistance" to Trump, the Nobel committee completely capitulated to him.

Maria Corina Machado is a monster - she's a far-right Trump ally who openly calls for military invasion of Venezuela, and calls Trump's murder of Venezuelan citizens "visionary"

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.

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.
