Home printers all have a mind of their own.
I can only use our using the app on my phone. Despite having the same app on my laptop, it won’t work.
The lease on my work printer expired and they didn’t collect it so I brought it home (it’s not a full size printer!). Just need to hook it up now!

And not enough that people could bid to have a dinner with Trump through buying his meme coin. This wasn’t a charity event, it was pay for access to the president.

It is unbelievable how an entire party, full of egos, has completely ceded their authority to one man.
Many of these are constitutionalist yet they are allowing their constitution to be trampled over and America to become an authoritarian state.
And they worry about books & bathrooms…

The lying and propaganda told by the US administration and its lackeys is on par with comical Ali

Trump is the king of distraction. He puts out these stupid tweets that mean nothing.
Meanwhile the markets are going crazy with wild swings in volatility and small businesses on the verge of going bust due to his economic policies.

As an outsider looking in, all I can say is I was making great returns under Sleepy Joe. I’m losing lots of money under Orange/ Crooked Don

And no phones allowed, so it’s just fans living and enjoying the moment instead of recording it to put up on social media

How is this man paid top bucks for writing such crap? Even before he was behind a paywall, I couldn’t read his stuff because it is such drivel

A Trump supporting friend of mine says this is all worth it because DEI is gone! 🤷♂️

I like the Ben on BlueSky. Slightly left leaning than the apolitical Ben on Twitter. I wonder what MAGA Ben is like on Truth Social 😉

According to Wikipedia, she and her then husband bought her father out of his construction company. Doesn’t sound like he was self made.
I’d say it’s more likely that she made money through speaking gigs and grifting. The numbers MAGA supporters pay is nuts

What family wealth?

I doubt it. US politicians are notorious for profiting from their positions. Pelosi being the worst of the lot!
The other question is where someone on a salary of $174,000 got $750k to invest? She’s always grifting I suppose…

Israel being a nation who has nuclear weapons but never lets inspectors in to examine their sites.
If they didn’t have US backing, they’d be called a rogue nation…

The Brexit sector will call this a win. Trade is down so much, the US has a trade surplus…but still imposes a 10% tariff.
Trade to the UK’s biggest trading partner, the EU, is down and it’s now more expensive to sell to the US.
It takes some economic gymnastics to call this a win

He’s not up for reelection until 2028. Polls this far out are meaningless

Thousands?? It was €4.8 million
But yeah, a bookkeeping error paying workers in France for jobs they never had in Strasbourg…along with fake contracts 🤷♂️

Same with Vietnam. USA wanted textile production moved out of China, so Nike etc moved to Vietnam. They are exporting goods made under American brands!!! That Americans want to buy!! They are too poor to buy American themselves.
Dumb as a rock

Yet people still think he’s a great businessman!
If he didn’t have daddy’s money to bail him out, he’d just be a failed businessman…and probably would have been in jail decades ago…

That’s the way they operate. She was part of embezzlement of millions of euro and claims she’s the victim?!!
These people are quick to point the finger at others for committing crime while making ill gotten gains themselves

Sorry to hear that about your loss.
Our Benjy is going for his big sleep tomorrow. We’re devastated.

People being asked to disclose their social media accounts when applying for work visas.
If you denigrate the great leader 😉 do you get denied entry?

And who is going to prosecute? The DOJ has lost its independence. This is what happens when you don’t live in a democracy, those in power do what they want unchecked

Because that is how TAA is looking at it. He’ll give his all for the club until he leaves and will want to leave with a league winners medal. But lots are calling for him never play for the club again 🤷♂️

Fans never look at it from the players POV. A chance to move to an exciting city, the biggest club in the world and a massive pay rise.
Football is their job. Money is a huge factor in that. Adulation is way down the list.

The Nunez penalty was awful. When they showed it from behind the goal, he was always shaping up to hit it to his right. An easy read for the keeper.
Glad he wasn’t the only miss, so he’s not entirely to blame.
Pity Alexis & Dom weren’t on the pitch for pens. Thought we were a bit light on takers

Invading the pitch was mad. I understand the people in the corner where he went to celebrate, there was a massive rush forward. But they were coming from all over the place 😁
The my won’t get to see the new stadium for a bit while they serve their ban😂

And Oliver still added 2.5 minutes onto it despite there not being anywhere near that amount of time taken for the Everton injuries

Absolutely no idea where he found that extra time from! Some time had to be added for the double injury but it wasn’t that long!

The easiest remain campaign should have been pictures of queues at airports and ports when people were going on holiday.
Instead they focused on numbers. 🤷♂️

Well that’s the end of Musk in government…

Musk doesn’t care about Tesla anymore. Never has a CEO alienated its target market like he has.
He doesn’t care though. SpaceX is where his interest lies. And so many people hope he gets to Mars so we don’t have to see him again

That’s bookies for you. They’ll do anything not to pay out.

Robbie Fowler got a £32,000 fine and a 4 match ban for pretending to eat grass/ snort the line 26 years ago. It’s all been downhill since then…without the fines and the bans 😁
