I get it’s not personal it’s (bad) drag. That said, I cannot think of a situation where one party accuses the other of basically the worst thing possible and then… this. Presumably owning the libs is the higher cause 🤷

It’s why thatcher’s tories destroyed industries and sold services to their mates, so they could steal the uk’s wealth and keep its peoples poor.
The rich see every penny paid as a pension or benefit as a penny they can’t steal.

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships...

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Did you know that, even in the #USA, health was not a profitable industry before 1973?
Pharmaceutical companies make billions selling us old medicines and are reluctant to research new ones because they prefer profits to the cost of research.

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.
Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.
