If I were prime minister of country where 440,000 children sleep on the floor because they do not have a bed of their own, abolition of inheritance tax would not be my flagship policy
@King0243_PJC Bet if they had been any other race than British it would have been trumpeted by the far right. Instead they ignore what has happened as these guys probably supported them.
Do you think Zia Yusuf, Rupert Lowe, Nigel Farage, Robert Jenrick and the rest of the professional outrage industry will post about this?
Of course not.
They’ll suddenly develop a severe case of selective blindness and pretend it never happened. Because when reality doesn’t fit the outrage narrative, you don’t confront it, you bury it.
@1goodtern My wife has rheumatoid arthritis amongst other things. She may, on a good day look fine. This doesn't mean she doesn't have RA and all the associated pain it's just her meds are working well that day and the weather is warm.
Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up."
What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today? Who struck an apartment building at 6 in the morning, wiping out entire families, including 5 small kids ON HIS BIRTHDAY!?
You're sure you want to celebrate such a person instead of maybe mourning his victims? And they laughed in response. They fucking laughed! What the fuck is wrong with these people???
UPDATE: Trump just awarded another $3 BILLION military contract to a company backed by his son Don Jr. (and Peter Thiel) — what skilled businessmen these Trumps are!
Robbing the American taxpayer in broad daylight.
During preparations for a 2018 military parade, Trump told staff not to include wounded veterans because he felt amputees did not "look good" for him.
After a ceremony where Captain Luis Avila— a severely wounded Army officer — sang “God Bless America," Trump told then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.”
A five-time draft-dodger said that.
Thank you to ALL veterans — regardless of political affiliation or limb status.
You deserve a president who respects you.
Telling an eighty-year-old woman to "check the portal" for serious biopsy results is cruelty disguised as digital efficiency.
My 82-year-old aunt had a lung biopsy done two weeks ago.
The doctor told her they’d have the pathology report ready within five business days.
Friday afternoon rolled around. No call.
She dialed the clinic’s main desk, her voice shaking with anxiety.
The receptionist cut her off before she could finish explaining:
“Doctor doesn’t give results over the phone anymore. All lab findings are automatically released to your MyChart patient portal.”
My aunt said, “Sweetheart, I don’t have a computer. I have a landline on my kitchen wall. Can the doctor just tell me if I have cancer?”
The receptionist sighed into the receiver:
“It’s hospital network policy. We can’t bypass the portal. You’ll have to have a family member create an account and view the file.”
My aunt spent an entire seventy-two-hour weekend sitting in her recliner, gripping her reading glasses, convinced she was dying.
I drove out to her house on Monday morning, set up a profile on my laptop, and pulled up the records.
The result was benign.
The pathology report had been uploaded four days earlier.
A doctor spent three minutes clicking an upload button, and an elderly woman endured four days of sheer psychological terror because the hospital decided a phone call was too expensive.
Since when did delivering medical news become a self-service task?
Trump has blood on his hands. This should be investigated exponentially more than Bengazi was …
Six U.S. soldiers were killed and dozens wounded after their unit reportedly entered the war without a real mass-casualty evacuation plan.
A medical officer had prepared one, then she was sent to Jordan, and it was never implemented.
After the strike, soldiers with working phones were reportedly Googling nearby hospitals to figure out where to take the wounded.
That is an appalling failure of military preparedness.
Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA.
It has made JD Vance very mad.
It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?
@BotFinderUK Great idea! If more people did this instead of spreading hate and trying to divide us then our country would be a far better place. I suggest we adopt a suitable alternative to the nonce bonnet to show our solidarity for this movement - any suggestions?
