No tariffs on Russia...???

submitted 38 days ago • 0 comments

Uninhabited islands get tariffs, too - obvs punishment for having have long “looted, pillaged, raped, plundered and cheated” America, with their exports of what? No tariffs for Russia, though... It's almost as if the Mango Mussolini was acting on behalf of Russia to destroy the US & global economy..

Where is everyone? I used to have such great conversations on Twitter - we had a fantastic extended group of Twitter friends. I quit because of Musk, but it's like no-one is here... Pretty much silent. Not a lot of point in being on BlueSky imho. ☹️☹️☹️

I am absolutely stunned and horrified by what I'm seeing in Washington, especially the Ketamine-fuelled (?) chainsaw thing. Just saying...

It's kind of ok being here on BS but not at all sure anyone sees my posts which is why I haven't bothered for a few weeks... Writing into the void and all that... 😶

Oh. My. God. Someone who's even worse than Trump. Iain Dale's response was good, but the word "ridiculous" is wrong - too tame. "Abhorrent" would be far more accurate. #Trump youtu.be/fGR-HJvUiE0?...

This is really good and covers a ton of bad stuff happening in the States under Trump which is getting scant coverage in the British media. youtu.be/U0fdoOxkN4o?...

Asking for all Brits like myself who don't understand the way US politics work: does the constitution permit a Trump impeachment for all his nasty policies & especially the latest funding block? Or would his cronies block it? In other words, is there any way the US could get rid of Trump? 🤔

Me on LBC radio today asking Wes Streeting if Labour has any plans to stop families from having to clean out their savings and sell the family home to pay for care - my mum has dementia & is in a care home that costs £85,500 a year, rising annually 😳😳. youtu.be/0xTrOUtNOIw?...

The dinner was hosted just days after Liz Truss and Boris Johnson laid wreaths at the cenotaph during remembrance commemorations and Nigel Farage had kicked off about not being invited. They were all in attendance here 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ins...

Excited! Now I'm retired, I'm going to be volunteering for a fantastic local cat rescue charity here in Yorkshire UK - help with fundraising, social media & publicity. I've suggested creating a presence here on BS. Any thoughts / advice etc welcome!! #cats #rescue

Well, folks, I'm digging out the 😷 again after getting Norovirus in November plus not one but TWO bouts of RSV in December, with only the Xmas week healthy... Please, if you've got anything nasty, stay at home ffs. Don't share germs. 🤢🤮🤧🤒😷 #Quaddemic

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
