83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

An early 20th century image of a threshing barn with a horse mill adjoining. The thatched barn dates back to the 16th century although the walls are later. The 19th century circular building housed the horse mill where the horse would walk round in a circle turning a wheel or gin that

Frightening to see the US descending so rapidly into a dictatorship

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Some of the usual chants at the #GeorgiaProtests: “Until the end!” “The end of winter is coming - the people’s spring is arriving!” “Georgia, revolt!” “We won’t stop, schedule the elections!”

Thousands are here outside the Russian embassy in London to say "Russian troops out of Ukraine!" After Trump's treachery, our Governments must provide Ukraine with all the military and financial aid other needs to defeat Russia and win a just peace. Europe can do this🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

Great news! So does this mean that the mango shitgibbon siding with Putin has finally shifted the Ukraine War from a defensive one playing for time into an active one that needs to be won by Europe ASAP. If so, then it's the opposite of what Putin wanted! 👏👏👏 #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🕊

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

FUN FACT: JD Vance owns the app AcreTrader,so wealthy investors, many foreign, can purchase US farmland. Trump, Vance and Musk are deliberately tanking farmland economies across the country so Vance and the Brogliarchs can then buy them up for pennies on the dollar at your bankruptcy auction.

Day 87 continuous. Rustaveli blocked. Without new elections, there will only be continued instability and crisis, since the dictatorship will find it hard, resource-wise, to stabilize into business-as-usual mode. With sanctions, you can aid us avoid costs. #GeorgiaProstests

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Trump's US is, at best, no longer a reliable ally – and at worst has effectively switched sides. Politicians are not yet reckoning with this. It's not just "another Trump thing", it's the breakdown of the postwar international order. The UK needs to get much closer to its real allies – in Europe.
