Venerable snowflake. Horrified how we’re treating Mother Nature. Sarcasm as an art form, pro EU and lifelong Labour. Music, books and gardening keep me sane. Oh, and cheese, there must be cheese 🧀. Please no DMs, it’s just very creepy.

That’s interesting, and makes sense. The last thing a nation needs is the population turning against its own armed services. I suppose that harks back to the war of independence.

You do realise N Ireland is part of the UK…

History would indicate otherwise. The US record for peacekeeping foreign civilian populations is far from perfect, as is the UK’s. Just look at how British forces acted in Northern Ireland, the French in Algiers, US in Vietnam, Iraq etc. if this wasn’t the case they’d be deployed for every riot

Every single time, and it’s not the fault of the military. They are trained to put down resistance with extreme force, they just aren’t equipped psychologically to act as police.

Bigly. I know a convicted felon who I’d love to see picking cotton for the next decade…

I doubt he even cares if he does remember. He’s wildly off the rails on one of the greatest power trips of all time. At this stage it’s very much on the people of the US to put a stop to it. No one’s coming to rescue them.

They’ll start using convicts, one step up from slavery.

Now he’s sending in the Marines. This will end very badly, soldiers are not trained to police their own people. If you think they are, just look at Northern Ireland in the 1970s.

I heard they are substituting the some of the track and field events with rubber bullet target shooting, tear gas throwing and 100m dash avoiding ICE agents.

Kind of depends on what the tank’s doing I suppose…

So they see a convicted fraudster and rapist do this, fail miserably, cause utter chaos, and burn his principal donor in the process and think ‘hey, this sounds like a marvellous idea, we need to jump on that (burning) bandwagon asap!’

Tip of the day for your mental health: when you see pictures like this of the orange turd, assume he’s doing a dress rehearsal for his final demise.

At this point George, you guys should be doing backflips if you can find a Republican MAGA who can even read without the aid of pictures and glove puppets.

She’s not even a third rate liar. If all the ‘many’ deals are ‘on track’ why do they need to remind the other countries that Trump’s arse is hanging out and blowing in the breeze?

This looks like something Trump needs to look into, in person, up close, bigly.

Are they really all so easily frightened into compliance with a hard right clown, or was it all performative bollocks, with no belief in the sentiments, to begin with?

She’d probably get a peerage… oh wait

Much as I agree with the sentiment, he’s just a two bit crook who rode the wave to line his pockets. He’s too lazy and incompetent to get into the big league of Hitler, Pol Pot and Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Let’s hope Putin was visiting and is now currently warming his bollocks in hell.

But, she graduated, despite all that. That’s speaks volumes about her and the family she comes from.

Exactly this, beat them into the ground and keep beating them until they are nothing but a stain on the history books.

Does put it in fairly clear perspective, when you look at the lives lost defending Ukraine vs a couple of ‘strongly worded’ letters…
