It's a 7-minute video, but worth the watch! 💙💙💙💙💙
March Madness is fine, but every March, I feel that Red Baron WCHA Final Five-shaped hole in my heart.
It wasn’t just a tournament. It was college hockey at its peak. It was an era. And nothing will ever replace it.
I am incandescent with rage right now. I feel sick to the stomach. A US Vice President stood today on the soil of where so many Americans gave their lives to defeat fascism in Europe. He delivered a disgraceful speech that spat on their graves. Not that we should expect any different, given his boss skipped visiting the graves of fallen Americans in Europe for fear of getting his hair wet. The same man who called the same fallen heroes suckers and losers.
As a Brit that loves America and the American people, I am deeply disturbed at the insults delivered by a man who once described Donald Trump as an “idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
How times have changed. Vance is now part of the most authoritarian administration in American history. An administration actively seeking to deny bodily autonomy to women. An administration pursuing the same mass deportation of immigrants that Europe witnessed in 1930s Germany. Vance is a man that his own president doesn’t even see as his successor.
He came to Europe to vomit his Christo-fascist bile on leaders from the UK and across Europe, in what appears to be a retribution tour designed to assert American power.
The U.S. are to my knowledge the only NATO country to have invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter after 9/11. We, his European allies, met that call with no questions asked. We sent thousands of soldiers to the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq to fight a war on the false premise of Donald Rumsfeld’s ‘known unknowns’. We did this despite millions of our own citizens protesting in the streets of our cities.
Our military stood shoulder to shoulder with his military and we, like many Americans, stood to salute our fallen young men and women returning home day after day. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, thinking of them and their loved ones. Our brave men and women willingly gave their all and far too many made the ultimate sacrifice in support of an American led war.
For the record, 6000 Ukrainian solders server alongside American soldiers in Iraq. This, despite Ukraine not being a member of NATO. In 1994 upon signing the Budapest Memorandum they gave up their nuclear weapons in return for security assurances from the US and the UK. These were then reneged upon in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea. They were told ‘An assurance is not a guarantee’.
Now, despite their friendship and their brave sacrifice on the battlefields of Ukraine, the President of the United States has decided to abandon them and hand a victory to an indicted war criminal, who illegally invaded the sovereign territory of a US ally. An ally who’s soldiers had previously lost their lives supporting America in its war on terror.
SHAME ON HIM. Shame on the man who dodged the draft and never served a day in defense of his nation. He is a coward and I would gladly call him that to his face. To all those Americans on social media currently posting vile insults to those who have always been there for America, I say, democracy is bigger than you, as you sit anonymously behind your phones posting poison.
America might have the most powerful army on the planet, but remember, that same army fled from Saigon after being handed their ass by a bunch of peasant rice farmers, armed with grenades made from discarded US coke cans. Ukraine have been to the Russian army what the Vietnamese were to you and we salute them.
You might want to throw Ukraine under the bus while stealing there mineral deposits, BUT EUROPE WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. I know for sure that the UK will not abandon the Ukrainian people. Our aid to GDP contribution already exceeds that of the US as does Poland, Germany Finland and others.
The U.S. is no longer a reliable ally and if need be, we will stand with Ukraine without America.
As for your pathetic tariffs, do your worst. You will soon have no friends but thugs and autocrats, so I’m sure Wun Dum Fuc will be right at home.
Donald trump’s main “claim to fame” has famously been his business prowess, a mostly unearned reputation of being “good at business.”
He gained that rep from "anonymously" bragging about himself to reporters, exaggerating the value of his properties, and then propping up his image by yelling “you’re fired” on a dumb reality show that ended up being canceled for weak ratings.
But everything about him is smoke and mirrors, from the lifts in his shoes to make him look taller, to the makeup on his face making him look…oranger.
He was unscrupulous: he frequently stiffed workers who did work on his properties. He learned that he could just go to court and outlast them, forcing them to have to settle for a much lower price than negotiated.
Let’s take a look at his bankruptcies, business closures, and fraud findings:
Trump Taj Mahal - bankrupt
Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino - bankrupt
Plaza Hotel - bankrupt
Trump Castle Hotel and Casino - bankrupt
Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts - bankrupt
Trump Entertainment Resorts - bankrupt
Trump Vodka - discontinued
Trump Steaks - discontinued
Trump Ice (water) - discontinued
Trump Magazine - closed
Trump Mortgage - closed
Trump Airlines - He took an airline (Eastern Air Shuttle) that was running for 27 years, put his name on it, and it closed within 3 years
Trump University - closed for fraud
Trump Foundation - closed for fraud
Trump Organization - fined $355 million for… fraud
The Apprentice - canceled
Stormy Daniels - claims he didn’t have sex with her, paid her $130,000 to prevent allegations from becoming public; allegations went public, so he paid for nothing
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp - Worthless stock trading $DJT at $23.57, after peaking above $70 per share. Losing billions.
American JOBS - he lost almost 3 million jobs, the most job losses since Herbert Hoover, due to mismanaging the COVID crisis.
So WHY do people think trump is good at business?
It’s all a mirage, and we need to EXPOSE this fraud.
We cannot and should NOT let him run America the way he ran his failed businesses.

This will be my last tweet about the sad and shocking events at the trump rally yesterday.
DEAR MAGA…you don’t get to spend 8 years glorifying guns, calling for a “revolution”, calling for “Civil War”…
