Wrote this last January about Trump and Greenland. Feels like it’s where we are heading. Too many Europeans just haven’t been listening to them because it’s been too disturbing to confront the potential reality.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

This image is being shared as if it’s a real news story, but I can find no evidence it’s an actual UK Politics / GB News article.
Graphics like this only muddy the waters and make political discussion worse, not better.
Worth checking sources before sharing — regardless of who the claim targets.

I would wager that the actual reason why no prior sitting president has apparently ever taken the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, is that no prior president or VP since the test's creation in 1996 has ever engaged in behavior that is as suggestive of cognitive impairment as Trump has.
Trump again says his health is “PERFECT” and claims he “ACED” his third straight cognitive exam, a test given by doctors to detect signs of dementia

Such a frustrating piece. It cites 195,000 leavers as some kind of judgement of a failing Britain, but it offers no comparison vs previous years. Nor does it tell us whether previous leavers came back or not.
