And the overwhelming majority of that 36% are white men & women, indoctrinated by parents and grandparents who were just the same, & had their beliefs confirmed 24/7 for 30 odd years by Fox, Sinclair, then more recently NEWSMAX and OAN. Add in defunded education by Republicans playing the long game.

But then impeach the corrupt judges. They cannot be allowed to continue to sit on the court when they basically work for an outside body.

I'm sure the accountants are stand up guys and wouldn't fiddle any figures ever. I don't work for Putin but EU corruption made it very easy for him to sow doubt in the media about them. And it made UKIPS job a lot easier too. By the way I support Ukraine, I just don't have a rosy view of the EU.

So Orban has embezzled all the money his family needs then, and finished building his palaces? And no more fake farm subsides to Italian mafia imaginary olive groves? And no EU parliament members fiddling their expenses any more? Colour me shocked.

If you are wearing man made fibers and have furniture that is covered in similar, and have a man made fiber carpet and you walk around your house in your socks, you will build up a static electric charge on yourself that will be discharged whenever you touch an object that can absorb electricity.

All the high ranking cowards worried about their pensions have retired early or resigned. Those that are left are keeping their heads down & hoping all this fascism goes away. Careers & pensions over the Constitution & the people. I was criticized for calling them cowards, but what else are they?

I read that over 1000 ex-Israeli army guys have been recruited into ICE/DHS. Now they just love beating up on brown people and using violence.

I was wondering wen you would identify yourself as a MAGA account. I am so happy to block you now. You know who does support criminals? You. The Trump administration is the biggest crime organization in US history. Bye Felicia.

Very few are serious criminals. The figures include, DUIs, jaywalking, shoplifting, speeding tickets, check fraud, and other minor crimes. Not exactly criminal kingpins. The vast majority so far detained have no criminal record, and crossing the border undocumented is a misdemeanor, not a felony.

I read over 1000 men hired are actually ex-Israeli army. So they should have no problem beating up on brown people and using violence.

Just re-watched Patriot Games the other day. Where these 2 giants of cinema were re-united. 33 years ago now.

A car is definitely better. Organized tours can change due to weather or just because the guide is busy doing something else, as happened to us. Do your own thing. There is a lot to see. Ancient & modern history. We stayed in Bayeux, lovely town, & they have a very good WW2 museum, and the tapestry.

He also didn't stump up the mandatory $1 million pardon fee. That's what Trump is actually pissed about. This could set a bad example to others. [Sarcasm].

Although some people still haven't got their heads around it. Epstein supplied Israel and Russia with blackmail information. Maxwell's father was a UK media tycoon, but born Czech, and it was always suspected he too supplied info. The 1987 picture of Trump in Moscow has Maxwell Sr in it.

The so called sanctions so far are pitiful, and Ukraine has caused more damage to Russia's oil economy than the West. Simply confiscate all Russian assets in the West, and close all banking access to Russian banks to international credit. Not some like the sanctions, all this time.

There is historical model we perhaps forgot. The USSR withdrew from an unwinnable war in Afghanistan, and 2 years later the USSR collapsed. The USSR could not outspend the West for defense. We have to totally bankrupt Russia again. Most Russians are zombies for Putin. Collapse is the only way.

or the Italian mafia's imaginary olive groves getting farming subsidies, or farming subsidies to massive British landowners. Making laws that are pan-European, but not fair to individual countries. If they could get their accounts signed off and stopped the corrupt gravy train, Labour might rejoin.

Because a large number of Labour voters voted for Brexit. They see an organization that has not had it's accounts signed off for nearly 20 years, massive corruption and misuse of taxpayer funds, e.g. Hungary's Orban building palaces and his own railway with EU funds,

Russia has nearly run out of tanks and armoured vehicles, and only has half it's air force left. It's army has no elite forces left just old men, boys, convicts, drunks and walking wounded. They are now retreating in Ukraine. They could not win against a wet paper bag, let alone NATO.

after a days acting, John would say at the end of the night, whoever can guess the weight of the fairy on my hand, can sleep with me tonight. When no-one answered. A wise guy said, 100 tons. John said near enough. Jack Watson died in 1999, but that window into his life stays with me always.

It was only a train journey of about an hour or so, but Jack Watson was a very interesting guy. He was on his way to Wakefield , West Yorkshire to make a period drama for children with Emma Thompson. I'll tell you another story. It's about John Gielgud. Apparently at the usual drinks in a local pub

He told me too how he, [Jack], and his wife got an apartment, and on the first day of shooting the movie he walked to work as it was only a few hundred yards. At the studio they asked him how he got there, and they were shocked. They insisted he used a car they would send over in the future.

He also told me about the time Rock suggested they go for a walk around his neighborhood. So there was Jack, Rock and David Niven chatting away, when a cop car pulls up, and they get arrested for having no ID, or behaving suspiciously. At the police station I'm sure there were some red faces later.
