HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

NEW: Former BBC Scotland editor Sarah Smith has been criticised for her saying Volodymyr Zelenskyy will need to 'eat a pretty hefty portion of humble pie' after enraging' Donald Trump

Scotland's resources is the Money in this relationship. Time & time again English politicians whinge about what it takes to keep us in this union, If we are such a burden, Why not set us free? #AreYouYesYet #EnglandNeedsToBeIndependent #UnholyAlliance #DissolveTheUnion #BritainIsBroken

Just seen Farage and Truss (grifting over in the US) described as "the Slug and Lettuce".

FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

Sunshine, showers and rainbows.

A SpaceX Dragon docked with the ISS in September - for this purpose - and is already scheduled to return in March. All arranged by NASA while Biden was president. Trump has had nothing to do with it. Fantasy stuff.
