But when Trump declares himself president for life, I’m sure your lawyers can find a loophole that allows you back into our British Empire. I am sure our people would treat your people with the respect that your people deserve after voting in Mr Trump! Sending support for next weekend.

Wow, you still get your money from him by cheque, in Britain we get ours by bank transfer. So much easier. Stay strong, my American cousin.

So not even Trump is crazy enough to take medical advice from the moronic Kennedy. Although after seeing another moronic Kennedy in the Senate, with an exaggerated hillbilly accent I presume is meant to insult Southerners, I suppose I should be more specific.

Since retirement, I have been getting more tech savvy, so I pay my subs by direct debit. So much easier. And your digital membership card can be held in your smart phone wallet. In socialist Britain, it is even going to be part of the proposed identity card.

I let mine expire, but I rejoined after Mr. Trump became president just to show solidarity with my Antifa Comrades in America. I’m glad I joined then because since Trump became president the price of everything including membership has skyrocketed.

And points mean prizes! Especially the prize of exposing the hypocrisy of so-called family values Republicans. (With a very very limited view of families of course).

A question if you do not mind: Are US serving soldiers allowed to attend rallies in uniform? And as an admirer and frequent visitor to America, I will be there in spirit next week.

I would be there to show my support, but George Soros refused to pay my airfare. He said $1000 for everyone who turned up at the rallies was quite enough. The no Kings rally is costing him almost as many billions as Trump has grifted in his first few months as president

I find it difficult to believe, but this information deepens even my heartfelt despising of Trump and his entourage.

Faith. Family. Freedom? More like
Bigotry. Nepotism. Oppression.

But my dad fought fascists so was he Antifa? I’m glad he’s buried here in Britain otherwise Trump might want him dug up and put on trial like a pope did to one of his predecessors.

I follow American media quite closely from Britain, but there is almost no coverage of this extra judicial murder. In this country even a brief meeting of a former PM with Epstein many years before his conviction or suspicion is front page news.

And sadly, now the holiday habits of some of my fellow Brits are developing a similar reputation in Europe.

Peter @peterinnorthfield.bsky.social · 14h

Agreed. And after all these failures, he must be afraid of his own people rising up against him. Europe including the UK must build its defences against this increasingly desperate tyrant. With or without the United States.

Yes, as so often President Obama expressed it best.

Yes I acted as a referee for a friend and one thing that I forget if it was written or had to be explained when a policeman went round to interview him was simply why do you want a shotgun or rifle? His reason for a rifle was that he was in a club where they did target shooting. A sensible approach.

My cousins in Canada have guns for hunting which seems normal. Too many of the guns in circulation in the United States seem solely useful only for killing people.

Peter @peterinnorthfield.bsky.social · 15h

Thank you for that just before I sit down to breakfast. It did make me smile though. As a Brit I just cannot imagine the mentality of anyone walking round with what looks like a machine gun. I can understand guns for hunting, even for home defence, but this fetishisation is weird.

I know that Trump is not the brightest star in the firmament but he is crafty, will the Epstein files not have been thoroughly laundered by the time they are released? Not just to exonerate Trump but all the members of the ‘great and the good’ implicated by them?

The sad fact is that many people are stupid and are too lazy to actually think about what Antifa is. The Republicans keep repeating the lie and the Democrat leadership seem too scared to even use the word to explain it.

Macron is certainly not perfect, but I love the pragmatism of the French people in their presidential elections. Whenever the right winger gets into the final two everyone else votes for the other candidate. I just hope that the right do not gain more seats in parliament. Ukraine needs its allies.

He does look like a dodgy lawyer speaking about a paedophile. And a very creepy looking one at that.

Your post is succinct and says everything that needs to be said.
