Left: President Trump, "It will last for at least 50 years, if you had a knife you can't even cut it"
Right: President Trump, "We have a 300 foot slit, probably a boxcutter or a knife of some kind"
Is there anyone in the USA who still believes Trump?
When Trump's vanity projects go haywire—like the Reflecting Pool, the ballroom, or the Kennedy Center—he manages to look incompetent and vain at the same time.
His excuses for the Reflecting Pool disaster, including blaming "vandals" for his own failures, are nothing more than lies and conspiratorial nonsense.
And if Trump wants to turn his conspiracy theories into felony cases carrying ten-year prison sentences through his Department of Justice, he'll have to present actual evidence to a grand jury.
Good luck with that.
The EU has invited Taliban officials to Brussels to discuss a migration deal — and today I am shaken and deeply disturbed by this.
This is the same Taliban that banned girls from secondary schools and forced them into marriage. The same Taliban that, earlier this month, arrested dozens of women in Herat for how they were dressed. The same Taliban that detains, beats and executes women who dare to speak out or break their rules.
Through its system of gender apartheid, the Taliban have erased women and girls from public life. Europe must not legitimise a regime responsible for one of the worst human rights crises in the world.
Any engagement with the Taliban must begin and end with the rights of Afghan women and girls.
@Acyn There must be camera footage, surely? Only a few days ago he was showing us the graph of how big the pool is…..no way someone managed to use a cutter, under water, to make such a massive slit, and there’s no footage of it….
A real long shot but can people retweet this please.
Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.
Absolutely insane revelations about Tulsi Gabbard.
Throughout her public life, she's been a puppet for a Hindu cult.
Washington Post got access to 25,000 pages of documents including directives from Tulsi Gabbard's cult leader telling her which policy positions to take and how to present herself throughout her career.
It matches her record in Congress. At one point, she was instructed to say "It’s not a ‘boohoo, I don’t get to go to the party’ situation, Wolf" during a CNN interview, and used that exact phrase. This is one of several examples of her taking direct orders about what to say on TV. They told her what to tweet about too.
The cult set up fake accounts to boost her on social media. Gabbard was aware, at one point telling them to add a photo to a profile.
An email records a phone call where she was yelled at, but Tulsi is reminded at the end that "we still love you."
This woman was always a freak, which is why she ended up in the MAGA coalition. Anti-vaxxers, criminals, racist, and a woman in a weird cult all end up as allies. Trumpism is Kakistocracy.
Robert Jenrick is trying to remind Andy Burnham of an old tweet where he called for a General Election after a Tory leadership contest.
Fair enough. But let’s also remind Rob that he once said Nigel Farage wasn’t fit to run a five-a-side team, let alone a country, before later defecting to Reform UK.
So the question is simple: should we still hold Rob to his original views about Farage, or do past statements only matter when they’re politically convenient? 🤔🍿
I haven’t stopped thinking about Preston Davey. Let us be in no doubt this is a terrible safeguarding failure. In this piece for the @Independent I set out the questions I want answers to and why we can’t delay urgent children protection reforms.
