What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

Pritzker fights. It's refreshing as all hell.

It’s outrageous that German authorities need permission to shoot down drones or aircraft disrupting airspace and halting traffic. That should be automatic. National security shouldn’t wait for a green light.

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

When all hostages are released by the terrorist group HAMAS, does Israel have to refrain from bombing what is left of Gaza or any other Palestinian area? Has Israel accepted a two state solution, or are they going to drive the Palestinians out of the rubble Israel has already caused?

That seems to be an awful lot of excitement about a Palestinian/Israeli peace deal. #MangoMussolini, claiming victory over a deal that has not passed its first hour and is likely to be broken, if ever implemented, within a week.

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

Calm down, it was a civil chat. If you defend the Tories, are you fine with austerity, NHS decline, a botched Brexit, lies, chaos, and economic mismanagement? They want to abolish stamp duty but offered no hint of their annual property tax. That’s not reform, it’s recklessness.

You do not mention that many of Starmer’s original pledges were made pre-COVID and pre-energy crisis. Since then, economic and fiscal constraints have changed priorities. Like any leader, adapting to reality isn’t betrayal, it’s governance in a changing world. Ambition meets practicality in power.

I agree voters on Brexit were misled, and they were prepared to accept what Johnson was telling them and as a liar, a cheat and a downright scoundrel people should’ve checked what he said. It’s not as if we didn’t warn them. (same argument you tried to use) would you buy a car from Johnson?

Bear 🇨🇦 🇪🇺🇨🇭 @bearsie17.bsky.social · 23h

Well, no, the argument doesn’t fall down. It falls down if we find out that labour lied, cheated, manipulated, and bent every bloody rule there was. That’s what the conservatives did. I would say Labour has not performed the way I thought it would as I expected a legal brain to be put to work

Bear 🇨🇦 🇪🇺🇨🇭 @bearsie17.bsky.social · 23h

Labour seems to be disappointing but I do not think they made numerous promises and lied blatantly like the Conservative’s or Reform do.

Bear 🇨🇦 🇪🇺🇨🇭 @bearsie17.bsky.social · 1d

Education, education, education. That having been said if they do not know where to look, should they be voting?

@bethrigby.bsky.social ask Cleverly if they will introduce a property tax to replace stamp duty

Bear 🇨🇦 🇪🇺🇨🇭 @bearsie17.bsky.social · 1d

Badenoch’s talk is nonsense, they’re not in power and won’t be for a long time. Her plans are rubbish and meaningless. Stronger borders? HOW?. Stronger economy? HOW? The Conservatives crashed the economy. Set up unfunded promises to bankrupt the UK. She must have a short memory.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.
