Trump: 'When You Think Of It, We Shouldn't Even Have an Election' As his approval ratings slide amid growing discontent over his unpopular war in Iran, the President is looking at multiple ways to subvert the mid-term elections, reports Owen Bennett-Jones

If you’re a citizen of the USA, this is what’s known as treason!
You have to decide what to do about it.

God Formally Notifies Mike Johnson That he is Going to Hell The Almighty said that Johnson’s support of Donald Trump’s war in Iran was the “last straw” that sealed the Speaker’s eternal damnation.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hell is where he belongs.
I regard him as a classic example of the un-Christian Christian extremists so prevalent in the USA.

Home Office refuses to exempt exceptional students from tough immigration rules Exclusive: Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper concerned about student visa ban on female Chevening scholars from volatile countries such as Afghanistan

WTAF! That grin is the female equivalent of the swinging dick look on the face of a man who thinks he’s been clever when, in fact, he’s been an idiot.
This isn’t government. Don’t Ministers talk seriously to each other in this shit show?

It's time for Europe to "man up"!
Russia has to be stopped and forced back to their pre 2014 borders.

Ukraine war briefing: Trump set to ease oil-related sanctions following Putin call US president says sanctions will be removed until crisis sparked by US-Israel war on Iran eases, without giving further details. What we know on day 1,475

WTAF?
Putin needs to get out of all Ukraine, including Crimea. Trump has to stop scheming with Putin and the EU has to take responsibility for stopping Russia's illegal terrorist invasion of Ukraine.
Russian protagonists have to be held accountable.

UNITED24Media 🇭🇺 Orbán accused Ukraine of increasing oil prices in the country and also appealed to the European Commission to lift sanctions on Russian energy carriers.

Am I the only person who thinks Orbán is unfit for decent company and should be shunned by the EU. He is clearly an autocratic ruler and happy to see Putin murder Ukrainians - men, women and children.
Disgusting creature!

I'm approaching 83 years old.
I still remember the day when, asked her age, my daughter replied,
"I'm 3. I'm nearly 4."
"Oh! When will you be 4?"
The look of disdain on her face was priceless; a bit like, "Who is this idiot?"
"On my birthday!" She announced to gales of laughter all round.
Proud!

I don't think it was the seat that was the problem. I think two key factors that the electorate detested stood out; Reform and Goodwin.
Fair enough! I get it!

I believe that law is important. That includes International Law and laws governing the conduct of wars.
For that reason I believe that transgressors should be tried in The Hague and, if found guilty, should be held accountable and spend considerable time in jail.
That's the post!
