Feeling down so looking back 5 months when I had a silly smile on my face as I glided down a silent River Boyne, near the site of the famous Battle.

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

Fact check: Trump delivers long list of false claims at Cabinet meeting | CNN Politics
As usual, President Donald Trump made numerous false claims in his televised Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. And, as usual, most of them had previously been debunked.

Hegseth fits right in with Trump and everybody he's ever appointed - takes no responsibility for anything that went wrong. "A big boy did it and ran away". He expects the military to fall on their swords so he can come up smelling of roses. "The buck stops here" - yeah, right!

In the first of four Reith Lectures, a series of talks organized annually by the BBC, Bregman called Trump “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” That sentence turned out to be missing from the version of the lecture that was ultimately broadcast.

Are they going to stop that sneaky dodge where the new ATM operators are charging people for cash, by giving a button marked "cash and balance" which doesn't charge for the cash but DOES charge for giving you the balance? To avoid a fee press Other then "cash". #accesscash www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
'Access to cash' law to come into force this week
A new law that requires financial institutions to ensure that an ATM is located within 10km of the vast majority of homes and businesses is set to come into force this week.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

They should link up with the Librarians who have been quietly (shhhh!) subversive for ages now.
speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency
Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE
Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

For no reason here's an unedited shot I took from my wee dinghy on the River Boyne July 12th, just before sunset at 21:15. I was looking for a spot to camp, just upriver from the site of the Battle in 1690. Luckily there was no King William, King James, or even the Andrew formerly known as Prince!

Say it ain't so, @teenvogue.com! Brown-nosing the Old King in the White House (what's left of it) and dumping the politics team? Are you going to run articles like kids not speaking until they are spoken to and other delightful 1950's ideas? Looks like it's left to Rolling Stone to support Democracy

Good Lord! Saying that a lot these days. But is everything connected to Andrew the Commoner, and ex-wife/housemate Sarah, bent? I am painfully aware that rogues, scoundrels, and charlatans hide behind decent people, but how often can you be unaware, to put it politely? www.bbc.com/news/article...

This guy analyses the present "added protein" tsunami. He blames demand side and influencers who stoke it. I suspect blame may lie with the dairy industry who were unable to dump whey in rivers as usual so decided to push it to idiotic body-builders and it exploded from there youtu.be/19ZjMXZYq_Y
