@jconnollybooks Marvellous! Couldn’t find you but have now. I’m ditching this place as soon as my main people are over on the blue side 🩵

[XCW @XCW5470]

@jconnollybooks please come over to Bluesky 😊. You are one of the very few reasons I keep this toxic X nonsense going.

@jconnollybooks I’m about halfway through Night & Day, but wanted to say the Evenings with Evans is absolutely beautiful. Actual tears at the end. Wonderful 💕💕💕

6 Chancellors in 6 years. 6 Health Secretaries in 5. 9 Education Secretaries in 9. If they were a Head Teacher, their school would be in Special Measures. If they ran a branch of a bank, they’d be under arrest. A disgraceful rabble unfit for office: take them away!

@paulGtremblay Why no Audible version available for pre order? Very sad if it won’t be on there 😢

[XCW @XCW5470]

@jconnollybooks so excited 😁😁😁

[XCW @XCW5470]

@jconnollybooks @StephenKing My first King book too! Turned me into a lifelong fan. My original copy has since fallen to bits through overuse 😁 📖 🧛‍♀️

[XCW @XCW5470]

@ReeceShearsmith So conflicted right now. Desperate to see the new series and devastated that it will then be over. Forever. Might have to ration myself to 1 episode per month to make it last 😭

@danny_robins A truly gross thing! Hope you never need to suffer like this again 🤢 🤢🤢

@largejack1000 @DeborahMeaden @markinneswilli Eh, no https://t.co/nDBARPcSCD

[XCW @XCW5470]

Wow. That is all.

As a comedian, I wouldn’t open with it roseanne

[XCW @XCW5470]

Beyond contempt. This is unacceptable on many levels, and quite possibly illegal. @clarksshoes have you nothing to say????

[XCW @XCW5470]

@helenlewis just finished listening to Difficult Women. Bravo, excellent book and now I have a wee list of difficult women to research more ❤️ Lily Parr ❤️

@LNER The service today has been an absolute disgrace. No information and KX was a riot. And why have you turned all the comments off on the recent posts?

[XCW @XCW5470]

@LNER the conditions on the 17:00 Kings Cross to Edinburgh are atrocious. Someone should be in these carriages sorting it out. Disgusting customer service all day today.

BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”

But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…

De Niro continued:

“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So, today I issue another warning.

From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:

This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.” 

“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”

Well said, Robert De Niro!

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
