So, what you're saying is that Trump is about to do a Vinicius Jr and throw an almighty strop?

Thanks Andy - appreciate that - he's out of surgery now and under sedation for the next 24 hours before they can see whether it's been successful or not...

Out of surgery and in recovery - won't know the outcome until tomorrow at the earliest... but at least he made it through.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Oh absolutely bless him.... I'm on pins right now. Luckily we live in an old converted farmhouse / barn so we're on one level - no stairs as such - but he loves jumping up onto things - so it's going to be a challenge!

So my precious boy has gone from the bounciest little man to a shadow of himself - he's currently in surgery having a complex operation on his spine - he may end up paralysed. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky - send him your best vibes.

They will be aware - but they will fall into the trap that everyone else is falling into - that he's appeasable. Give him this and he'll then be happy, which could not be further from the truth.

He's going to get it, isn't he - because the world is frighted of this petulant man baby.

Yeah - I thought our MSM was bad but spending some quality time with the likes of CNN is a whole different ball game.... Fox, on the other hand, is *wow*.... fucking mental.

How do you actually find the decent stuff on Etsy now? All I see are just generic crap - it's garbage.

Brian Cooper @theomnisis.bsky.social · 15h

I think, and hear me out now, Antifa need to re-brand as Anti-fascism - go the whole hog add back on those extra 5 letters. So when the Republicans have to say shit like “This network of Anti-fascism is as sophisticated as ISIS – they are just as dangerous” they will start to sound (more) unhinged.

So, Otto, the gob shite, has gradually been losing the use of his back legs since last Wednesday - went to the vets on Saturday and the meds / rest have not helped. Got worse last night so he's got to go for an emergency MRI and possible spine surgery.

Another temporary “Gaza Peace Deal” has been achieved. Hamas and Israel have agreed to cease fighting. In theory Israel should also cease bombing civilians. After more than 60,000 people were killed by Israel, Gaza will be allowed to attempt to rebuild again.

Yeah, we are. Hard agree.

It would be interesting to ask "The Nobel Peace Price is being awarded tomorrow, do you or do you not think Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America deserves to win this year?" Yes / No / Are you insane / the Nobel what now? (lots of other framed questions)
