All of this is happening because Donald Trump doesn’t want to lose power and die in prison for raping children, selling government secrets, and money laundering to other nations.

Halcyon moment. From left to right: rapist, rapist and pedophile, and a former Epstein squeeze and two-time first escort.

Well, that sounds like an equitable division of jobs, which is fair enough. In long-term relationships it often shakes down to who can do what domestically, and that’s just fine, as long as all the jobs get done without one partner having to do it all.

So we can also expect that if Farage gets in or Badenoch, that they won’t care either about asking Parliament before attacking another country. This is the message this sends out.

Most celebrities prove over the years to be assh*les.

Well, I’d have done it with a knife point but I can imagine my dad looking for the right screwdriver, but mainly because it was the β€˜right’ screwdriver and he probably knew where it was.
My dad was naughty in that he showed me how to do things, but he wouldn’t show my mother how to do anything πŸ˜‰

Oh, I just told them I’m not fooled and they’ll be doing the same jobs again notwithstanding (and if they mess up again there will be consequences). πŸ˜‚
The other ruse is β€˜not being able to find stuff’ that’s necessary to do a job.

Same in the U.K. It was all founded on the notion of β€˜fair play’ and gentlemanly behaviour. We still call our Members of Parliament β€˜the honourable’ which is laughable now & should be abolished, as the notion of honour had the final nail in its coffin with Boris Johnson.

Whatever we all think of Starmer and I’m as exasperated as the next person at the stupid, sometimes unforgivable mistakes.

He always has the best interests of our country.

Unless your scarf is tied too tightly for brain function that is?

Could you say that about Farage or Badenoch?

Guys do this all the time (feign incompetence) so that they’re not asked to do that job again. I saw it in my boyfriends and then later in my sons. But I’m canny to that ruse, because I used exactly the same trick with my mother πŸ˜‚

Trump is not articulate or smart enough to negotiate or assess a situation. He just acts by violence or extortion.

The right-wing, as ever, just make stuff up. They can’t abide that Sadiq Khan is mayor of a city which has cut crime, has cleaner air and is safe enough to pedestrianise areas for outdoor dining, like all the best European cities.

Demand that Farage PROVE his allegations or shut up with his whining.

Sure, Trump’s hands are slippery with gore, but it was the people who voted for Trump who handed him the knife.

A Trumpist (not Trumpism, but maybe that makes sense too).
