I know more about ptsd than autism (because I have the frmer, not the latter).
It first became known only during WW1, and only known as ptsd after Vietnam.
But you can see descriptions of it through history as far back as Classical Antiquity.
I suspect the same is true of autism.

It's almost worth joining to tell her she crashed the economy...
(We probably should take this seriously though, given she wants to start a Maga movement in the UK. Now that we know Maga are definite fascists who support concentration camps.)

The US under Trump is neither a friend or our ally, and seeking close ties with them will give credence to our fascists, as appeasing Hitler did in the 1930s.
We're in Europe, not the Americas.
They're alienating their actual voters while playing to people who would never vote for them anyway.

I'd suggest you make it that nobody is inherently bad or good, everybody is capable of doing either.
Therefore Miller is choosing to be evil.

And Gove now has a peerage, allowing him to do it again, and again, and again.

I read the five had either records or charges - three for minor stuff, two for more serious.
But they deserve trials, not being thrown into hell.

Good luck, and please take care.
I'm watching it all in horror from the UK.

It starts with a fully independent legal system and judiciary.
You don't have them.

Yeah, like, how dare Zelenskyy start the war by being violently invaded.

In other words, camps.
Which they're looking for legal ways to send American citizens to.
How long before they no longer care if it's legal (or they just make it legal because they say so).

We're not the laughing stock of the world.
I mean, it's been better, but it's disingenuous to suggest things are the worst they've ever been here.
We *would* be the laughing stock of the world with an utter incompetent like Farage - or any other Reform dolt - in charge.

Anybody who doesn't understand why we need steel production to continue here is either an idiot, or they support another state.

Dictionary definition of deport: "to expel from a country".
Granted, another definition is to force a foreign person to leave a country.
Legal or not legal doesn't come into the definition of the word, and getting hung up on semantics like that is part of why you're living in the Fifth Reich now.

I'm really sorry...
As a lowly costumer, I'm gonna be spending part of my week adding notes to my Etsy listing that tariffs have nothing to do with me and are import taxes...

Depends if the US goes off country of origin (which you have to put in when you put in the tariff code on international parcels) or if they go off the country it's posted from.

Camps.
What she's talking about is camps. Deporting people they don't like to camps.

The lunatics were in charge the whole time. You chose them.
The leave side never laid out what leave would look like, or what the result of Brexit would be. So your vote gave them carte blanche.

Cool, so they're happy to stifle trade for those of us who cannot afford to employ an EU representative to send things to the EU.

I've no respect for any person who visits the whie house right now.
Other world leaders have to to prevent the Valencia orange [like a normal orange but thinner skinned] starting all out war, but anybody else, nah, collaborator.

And vitamin A is toxic if somebody takes too much (like all vitamins).
I had measles as a kid (I had the less effective early vaccine). I had it mildly with no after effects - it was still two weeks of hell. Even the light from the TV was too much for my eyes.

It went away after 9/11 when you started holding people without charge or trial, and nobody protested.

If thy voted for the person doing something they disagree with, then they chose it.
If they didn't know that's what they were voting for, that's on them for not educating themselves.

It's not about deficits. That's just another lie.
We have a trade deficit (from our side - to the US it's a surplus).
We should be getting a -9% tariff.
But honestly, when thinking trade deals, everyone whose opinion I've heard will take the tariff rather than lower our food standards.

Now do it again.

Yeah, fuck that, I'll take the tariffs.
Even if it means my sales to the US drop off a cliff.
It's not the chlorination, that's harmless.
It's the fact that it's only chlorinated because the chickens live in abject hell for their whole lives.
And no.

They've been following Goebbels for years 'repeat a lie often enough', etc
But another of Goebbels 'There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph.'
(I only tend to quote Goebbels or any Nazi when I'm pointing out what they're doing)

Somebody sold him (along with many Americans, come to think of it) the idea that the US is in charge.
All the 'leader of the free world' rubbish that's had the world outside the US rolling our eyes for decades (primarily because there isn't one), they believed.

Yeah, the 1850s, when women and black people didn't get to vote.

Speaking from the UK, our leaders need to stop dicking about trying to get a trade deal with the US, and get involved in this (as well as rejoining the EU, pronto).
As individuals, we are beginning to boycott US made physical products.
We need to do so on a national level too.
comment in response to

It will. But the world is uniting without the US.

If everybody writes to their MP - and keeps writing - the will eventually get the idea that the people of the country don't want a trade deal with the US.

Hi bot... I'm only replying to counter your Russian bollocks.
Plenty of EU countries have gone on record that they would have us back.
Now fuck off back to Putin.
