A DOD "Memo" saying no prosecution will happen isn't going to save you from life in a military prison for murdering civilian fisherman. Taking orders from a Fox News host who ordered you to do it isn't going to look real good to a jury.

Why wouldn’t you want to know? What have you got to fear? Losing your precious Brexit? Being revealed as a traitor and a liar?
Surely, anyone decent and honest who genuinely cares about our country and our democracy has nothing to lose from this. So, sign up.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.

Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.

Yep. Useless. Worse than useless.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Combine this with Zohran's election in NYC, the mood music is clear. Trump is being rejected by Americans and the only way he will survive is by staging a coup against the nation, perhaps by cancelling midterms

Couldn't agree more with you. This is pure panic.
Yeah, this looks like an absolute panicked mess of a plan. There are ways to cut energy bills without undermining energy efficiency and clean tech investment. But cutting VAT and efficiency programmes is a short term saving for long term pain.

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.

Set it at 5m and take 1% pa of anything over that amount.

1. that's not how this works

2. this is, like, six hours of pay

3. this is clearly Trump trying to message to the military that they are his personal army and reliant on his largesse

4. they're probably lying about this donation even existing

5. that's really not how any of this works!

Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH
