I'm gonna let you get back to war, but a member of Congress revealed "an accuser of Donald Trump was given a settlement by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate" and I think that's pretty important goddamn news. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Can't wait for Carney to make a speech about Pedophile Trump

NEWS! 'Strait of Hormuz' to be renamed ‘Strait of America’ newsthump.com/2026/03/11/s...

Will no-one rid me of this turbulent paedo?

Naught but a leap to the left
And thanne a clockwyse tread;
Put thyne handes on thyne hippes,
And be thy knees yn-gatheréd:
Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste
That maketh mirthe down to rayne -

Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!
