Hey @albomp.bsky.social, don’t you love those shared values?

I’m impressed with your connections. I found 1 line and then gave up …no idea what the rest were.

What is he doing? Checking inside his jacket to make sure there are no new stains on his trousers?

War is always terrible; but this… this is beyond repugnant.

Kidnap people of colour
Bomb school girls
Kill their own citizens
Bomb half a dozen countries
Kidnap a President
Murder a sovereign leader
Protect child rapists
Cut foreign aid
Mass surveillance

And @albomp.bsky.social says we share values with these lunatics.

An election will show we don’t.

Better neighbourhood? More pleasant climate? Easier to get around? All of the above?

Have you seen the commercial that brought down Kristi Noem?

It’s even more bizarre than I expected.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

WSJ: The action was bold…

Wrong- this was a totally stupid action to distract from the #EpsteinFiles.

A siren in Tel Aviv means run to shelter. In Gaza, it means nothing-because there are no sirens. Just bombs. Just death. Just silence. That's the difference

seeing references to the ON candidate for Farrer being a 'Harvard graduate'. He IS NOT!!! He attended seminars with Harvard.

Also not he made water management central to his pitch y'day. Note that he was CEO of AAC, the biggest water 'thief'/exploiter in the country
