The Russian connections are allegedly extensive; Johnson, farage, mandelson - was any political party safe from their involvement? We will probably never know the truth.

Or influencers. Teen or twelve, the message is probably accurate.

Don't worry, we will keep voting for billionaires to get wealthier. Just need to wait a little longer for it to start trickling down. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿฅบ

You actually believe they will give up power? They are in for the long haul. Democracy in the US is what you once had.

No different to the trains used by the nazis.

Exactly. Someone that has sex with children - paedophile.

I am confused. He made an accurate statement - and was suspended. That is beyond weird.

Yep. We had a bunch of Canadians stay last summer. Their hatred for what the US has become was powerful.

Anyone that lived in UK for a year during the dodgy years (1980-1996). So young people can, but not the over 30's.

And a result. I am banned from donating blood in France.

I wonder what they will do to any survivors that they find. Somehow, I don't think it will be a pleasant outcome.

And with all the boosters I have had. I really should review my will.

But, your government is putting people who empathize with Palestinians in jail.

But, they will be bought. A cheap solution.

What vote? You will be at war by then. No รฉlections will be held.

The brexit vote was my warning sign. I have lived in France quite happily since 2019.

There will be many fools parting with a lot of money; flight, hotels, tickets, and then refused entry. Happy people.

Absolutely, I went through a period of mental stress and rรฉalised twitter was part of the problem. Deleted and I feel more contented.

A quick change from ally to adversary. We must acknowledge the change and stop regarding the US as a friend and treat them accordingly.

I had this very discussion with a British immigrant here in France. He called himself an expat, voted for brexit and believed that it failed because it was not enacted. A complete nutter. I asked him why he could not speak french after 15 yrs - silence.

Trump is merely acting as kremlin media handler.

I met a reform voter here in France. He can't speak french and has no intention to learn. But, the rules are changing here and new arrivals will need a reasonable level of french.

I genuinely do not see how this would resolve the issue. The lack of social housing is part of the problem. But, getting houses to be more affordable is a real challenge.

The cult won't allow it. You have elected a dictator.

To be fair, you are correct. But, I had hoped for more from this government. Disappointed.

Sounds like an economic migrant to me. Good luck

I tried to discuss this with some friends recently. There seems to be a RW dialogue that these are not fishing boats, but high speed drug boats. I take the view that extra-judicial killing is wrong. But, is there any good reliable evidence on what these boats are?
