Don’t worry. It’ll never go viral. I’ll accept the dubious honour of being the very last person ever to repost it……..

So, just carry on……

You don't need to ask other people who Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado is.

She tells you herself, Donald Trump is her idol.

Since Hitler the world has lectured on how to deal with bullies, Rule 101 no appeasment, along comes Trump the most flagrant and consummate of bullies and from the pope to the king to the leadership of the free world we see nothing but the most cowered, grovelling, lickspittle genuflection. 🤮

Proving the USA was once part of the Roman Empire therefore the Italians have a right to invade and recover their lost empire, this is the gospel according to Netanyahu.

Just to give Chump, his criminal regime, and worthless MAGAts a helping hand, I thought I’d save them the time and give them the location for the HQ of #Antifa.

Wow, this extract from Wolff's book is a shocking insight into Trump's mind:

On his first night in the White House, President Trump complained that the TV in his bedroom was broken, because it didn't have "the gorilla channel.” Trump seemed to be under the
impression that a TV channel existed that screened nothing but
gorilla-based content, 24 hours a day.
To appease Trump, White House staff compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel, broadcast into Trump's bedroom from a hastily-constructed transmission tower on the South Lawn. However, Trump was unhappy with the channel they had created, moaning that it was "boring"
because "the gorillas aren't fighting".
Staff edited out all the parts of the documentaries where gorillas weren't hitting each other, and at last the president was satisfied. "On some days he'll watch the gorilla channel for 17 hours straight," an insider told me. "He kneels in front of the TV, with his face about four inches from the screen, and says encouraging things to the gorillas, like 'the way you hit that other gorilla was good'. I think he thinks the gorillas can hear him."

The President of the United States sold out America to Qatar cheaply, for the extremely low cost of ONE $400 million dollar jet and a $5 Billion golf resort, in exchange for it's very own military base in Idaho.

Congrats "America First" MAGA.
You got played.

AGAIN.

OUCHHHH‼️

Journalist: President D. Trump has repeated that he deserved the Nobel Prize. Why didn't he win the Nobel Peace Prize?

President of the Nobel Committee: [...] We award this prize only to courageous and upright individuals.

His entire entitled life history indicates he is incapable of learning anything from his own mistakes, he is too mentally disturbed to concede he makes any.

John Mitchell is a blast from the past while Bondi is just another Florida attorney that fits “the look”with no integrity. A perfect candidate for the Trump Crime Family. 😎

Trump on a coin? When Julius Caesar tried that, the Roman republic crumbled soon after

More than 2,000 years ago, the depiction of living leaders on Roman coins caused similar ructions. It came at a time when the Roman republic was in trouble.

The Gaza ceasefire deal could be a ‘strangle contract’, with Israel holding all the cards

These types of ceasefires are highly coercive agreements that enable the more powerful party to force the weaker party to agree to whatever they want.

Gaza deal could be ‘strangle contract’, with Israel holding the cards

After this phase is complete, a lot will depend on domestic Israeli politics and the Trump administration’s willingness to follow through.
