The thing that gets me is just how many things had to go just right to get Trump back in office.
It would be too fantastical for a Netflix series.
Congress failed to impeach him. Then failed to apply the 14th Amendment to him. Garland dicked around for 18 months,
I respectfully urge you to join me and many other conservatives and Republicans in voting for Kamala Harris. It’s time to close the book on Trump and rebuild a truly conservative party based on respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, and each other.

Yesterday an Iranian girl at the university in Tehran was attacked by the ‘morality Police’ for not wearing her hijab properly so she took off her clothes in protest. This artwork says everything about the struggle of women inside Iran and the smallness of the regime that oppresses them.
And then we got 𝘶𝘱𝘴𝘰𝘵!

Preparing this for when Musk inevitably claims that "Tommy Robinson" is a political prisoner (feel free to send to anyone who does in the meantime)
1. He plead guilty
2. His offence is contempt of court. That means he admits he didn't do what a court ordered
3. He breached the court order 10 times by repeating defamatory statements
4. Freedom of speech is protected in UK law. It doesn't allow you to defame people or to ignore court orders, like the US 1st amendment wouldn't protect you if lying under oath
5. He was denied a visa to visit the States while Trump was President - he was jailed in 2012 for illegally entering the US on a false passport
NEW:
We reviewed Trump’s speeches, interviews, and social media posts since 2022 and found that he has made more than 100 threats to investigate, prosecute, jail or otherwise punish his opponents, whom he sometimes calls “the enemy from within.”

It's time to have a serious talk about trump's advancing dementia, and the need to see his medical report NOW.
*TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO WIN THE ELECTION*
Trump is going to:
Coachella in LA County, California (Oct 12)
Madison Square Garden in New York (Oct 27)
The election? November 5
None of it makes sense, until you think about it the way he does.

You haven't seen complexity in art until you've seen this 600-year-old painting.
It's so detailed that modern medicine has been able to diagnose this man's exact type of blindness.
And that's where things get mind-bendingly strange — this whole thing is an illusion... 🧵
It was just before Christmas, 2007 and I was doing some shopping in Peter Jones, Sloane Square. The lady in front of me at the till was struggling as her debit card would not register. Suddenly she burst into tears.
"Are you OK?" I asked. "Maybe I could pay, and you can pay me back," I said. "Oh, thank you, young man. That's very kind," she said. Next attempt, though, her card worked.
I paid too and she waited for me. She clearly wanted someone to talk to. "I'm sorry to be so emotional," she said. "But I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer this morning." I asked where she was being treated and she said, The Royal Marsden. I said that my partner (Vikki and I were not married then) was being treated there too, having been diagnosed earlier that year. I told her that the people at the @royalmarsdenNHS were the best. She thanked me for the reassurance, and we both smiled and went on our way, she a little calmer, me buoyed being being called 'young man'.
That was my encounter with #DameMaggieSmith. RIP lovely woman and wonderful actor.
For years I’ve been thinking about the best way to share the vast amount of content I’ve been safely storing in my vault, much never seen or heard by the public. And today I’m delighted to finally share that we’re starting production on my official documentary. I’m looking forward to working with Frank Marshall, Alex Gibney and Sony Music to bring this very personal project to screens around the world.

A retired General just made the point that Donald Trump is currently ineligible to be volunteer for the Army because he is a convicted felon. But he wants to be our Commander in Chief.
Tomorrow, a UK court will rule if Andrew Tate is to forfeit all of the £2.8 million that is being held in frozen bank accounts citing tax evasion, fraud and money laundering.
Tate has had the opportunity to provide evidence that the funds were obtained and taxed legally, but has given no evidence in his defence to the court.
The following video of Tate bragging about not paying his taxes in the UK was used in court:
