I’m a bit like a broken record but people really should read the book “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis. He was the first American Nobel Laureate. The book was written pre-war, in 1935, but is more relevant than ever.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Like many others I spent 4 years on Twitter
arguing about vaccines.

Kennedy knew exactly what he was doing by giving Trump a quid pro quo. Our one hope was that he wouldn't get

That would be the sensible solution but I think the world is so crazy that people are finding it hard to have clear heads.

Probably why we’ve come off Twitter & are posting here.

I thought Thatcher was bad. My Dad loathed her with an absolute passion.

I’m glad he’s not alive to see what is happening in the Tory party in the U.K today. What the Labour Party is now. Even worse Reform.

Tories are saying motabilty scooters must be restricted so that people with ADHD don't get them!

People are carefully assessed and nobody with ADHD would ever get one (unless they have mobility issues).

This is a typical "We're going to save on paying for unicorns" policy!

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
