@JoeyMannarinoUS Hun, a school friend of mine just spent 3 days in Disneyland wearing a red ‘Make America British Again’ cap. You’re gonna be just fine over here sugar tits.

#APPEAL | Earlier this year, a woman was discovered in the River Mersey, near to Chorlton Water Park.

Despite extensive ongoing work, she sadly still remains unidentified.

We want nothing more than to reunite her with her family and friends.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

A big update on little Snickers the street dog who used to bring me a present every day as a way of saying thanks for the food and care.

She said today was the best day of her life and that was even before she got the big news… (1/8) 🧵

@MothTrapper48 @DeborahMeaden Nah, you'd be fine. Cats vs chickens does not end the way you think it does. It's a mistake cats make once, the hens stand their ground and lunge at the cats, beak first, if pounce mode is enabled! After that they don't bother each other!

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

I'll make my point a little more seriously.

£37bn of tax money of many people reading this went during Covid to allegedly corrupt people and organisations.

Not one head has rolled, not one person arrested, not one person doorstepped to answer questions.

Just one puff ball interview with one woman and her husband.

That £37bn has cost British lives, savings, businesses and hope. Still, 4 years later, zero accountability for a monster political story.

Instead, in all seriousness, a senior UK tv journalist has tweeted a story that's so irrelevant that anyone reading it can only draw one conclusion. That "look over there at a shiny bulshit story that'll titilate " replaces serious political journalism surrounding corruption of the state.

You've just tweeted a one liner in Private Eye when you should be looking for the front page of UK state corruption.

I think the detail of this actually shows someone who puts his family first and doesn’t necessary reflect the headline.

Problem will be is if anyone actually reads past it.
