Never thought I'd live to see the day the USA gets categorised as a 'Rogue State'...

Since crybaby trumpy doesn't like being called names or having any facts about his seedy life being published, I've decided my best plan of action to increase sales of this book is to send him a copy so he can ban it...
(thereby making it a million seller as everyone will want to know what I said).

400 million guns and not one of them any good. So much for 'Checks and Balances'. The Orange turd is more powerful than King George ever was. Sort it.

Since COVID exposed how selfish the human race really is, no-one gives a toss anymore. The perfect opportunity for the next Spanish Flu.

Note how it's legal for Chevron (Texas), to trade with Venezuela for it's oil, but no-one else.

Chemically altered fat. Getting more like America every day. Time to ban monsters like Kraft Foods from owning anything in this country

400 million guns in America, and not one of them any good. So much for 'Checks and Balances'.

So just WHAT is America doing about its russian asset? 400 million guns and not one of them any good? So much for checks and balances.

Well America do something about it or shut up whining about it.

Better still... How close is America to ending this Nazi regime and returning to the real world?

So much for the second amendment and all that 'checks and balances' bullshit.

"febrile"? It's time we got a lot more 'French' with our opinions.

Bought and paid for. Nothing legal about it. Will the real America please stand up and end this nazi regime?

Venezuela has OIL. Venezuela is an easy target and a honeypot to trumpy's mega rich a*se licking chums, and no-one in America will lift a finger to stop him.
Time America lay in it's own bed and stopped shitting in others just because its is full of crap.

He would make a great President, but America has too many bigots to vote him in.

IF that time ever comes, it'll be too late - they'll be living in mansions in Sochi.

Time to establish whether #bluesky is a platform worth continuing with... so, a little survey...
If you've seen this book, browsed it, read it, or reviewed it, post a like or comment to that effect. (Thanks).

Given that the Constitution is now trash because your military and nation have failed to uphold it,
that trump has sh*t on Ukraine and therefore, de facto, Europe, that his MAGA Nazis / ICE will never face jail,
and that Billionaires, not the people, control the USA,
the answer's NEVER.

There should be absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Janey Godley's assessment of Donald trump was correct....
Forcing Ukraine to accept losing some of its territory is absolute shyte and he IS a c**t.
Who's next? The Baltics? More of Ukraine? Moldova?
Shove it, America.

Believing that by all accounts you were in with a shout of being short-listed, and then getting a naff email to say 'sorry, better luck next time' is just the shittiest downer of them all.
But those who've actually read it, love it, and perhaps that's all that counts?

"It was a glorious day, almost English. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, while the local wildlife played at ease with my presence, perhaps having first assessed that I didn’t have a gun." (p.51)

In South Carolina, if you have a prosthetic eye, you can get a Driving Licence without having an eye exam.
Proof then, that you can drive half blind in SC.
Read Chapter 4 - 'The Driving Licence' for more details.

Counter sue, cede from the Union (and take the other credible states with you), or simply tell the bimbo to f off.

None of his bimbos can walk and chew at the same time. Since I've seen nothing to convince me MTG is any different, I'm curious what the real deal is with her. Nevertheless, I wouldn't trust her one iota.

It'll all come down to how much money people will sell out to trump for. So much for justice for the victims.
