The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool had aging pipes, cracked concrete and filtration problems. Trump’s administration spent over $14 million but didn't fix the infrastructure. Now it’s covered in algae and they're dumping 12% hydrogen peroxide in it.
That’s the most perfect metaphor for modern Republican governance we've seen all year. Paint the surface. Ignore the problem. Try to fix the fuckup and blame somebody else.
This is not a detainment camp in World War II, nor a prison in the Holocaust, this is Gaza. A chilling reminder that history repeats.
A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent
Hey @wholemars, yes, I can explain it to you. It is now a year later, and they never did it again.
That's why it's just "smoke and mirrors".
You are welcome.
if Scotland win, Mondays will be removed from the calendar. The Wallace Monument will crack open to reveal the man himself sleeping inside. Midges will vanish. Ben Nevis will grow taller and - awoken by the shaking earth - Nessie will surface and walk to Johnny Foxes in Inverness
The British oil company that became BP discovered Iran's oil. When Iranians realized they were being robbed, they nationalized it — so MI6 & CIA toppled their democracy in 1953, installing a dictatorship. Iranians rose up in 1979 & the West has never forgiven them for it.
I'd go further and suggest this may indicate corruption and criminality.
This judge represents a danger to society and democracy and must be investigated now. The Filton 4 must also be released immediately.
Mad how these braindead helmets can throw fascist salutes openly without consequence but if they held up a sign supporting an anti-genocide group they’d be charged with terror offences.
This is yer two-tier policing ya fucking Nazi scum!!
Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.
Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
An imam's home in Bolton was targeted in an arson attack yesterday by a masked man.
Imam Hassan Patel lives at the property with his wife, their four young children, and his nephew. Five people were inside the house at the time of the attack.
BREAKING: Four Palestine Action activists found guilty of criminal damage are applying to remove the judge in their case on the grounds of bias. Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson is expected to sentence them as terrorists – despite being convicted of an ordinary criminal offence – in a move kept secret from the jury
NEW: World's longest-range aircraft, the Airbus A350-1000ULR has taken to the skies for the first time, completing a three hour 43 minute flight at an altitude of 41,000 feet.
The A350-1000ULR is being developed for Qantas Airways to enable non-stop flights between Sydney and London for the first time ever - a distance of almost 10,000 nautical miles, with flight times of up to 22 hours. This is made possible primarily by the integration into the aircraft structure of an additional rear centre tank (RCT), enhancing further the aircraft performance and increasing the range of the aircraft by 1,000 nautical miles.
