Living long enough to see that happen is on my bucket list. I don't think I'm going to make it.

One might think a US Senator would know what imminent means, apparently not in Arkansas.

As if we didn't already know that #IlDouche hasn't read any history he seems to think that Churchill was some sort of docile yes man for FDR.

A #Jihad it is then. The Iranian mullahs should be pleased.

Once again, as a Pennsylvania voter, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise and to promise to try very hard not to do this again.

News Corp is essentially an AI β€˜input company’, chief executive says, after US$150m deal with Meta Chief executive Robert Thomson says he often speaks to both OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg

I have a question. If so-called AI companies are willing in some circumstances to pay news organisations, in the case of #NewsCorp I use the term advisedly, for their output to train their LLMs why can't they be compelled to pay writers and artists whose copyrighted output they have stolen?

Trump says he fears Iran’s next leader could be β€˜as bad as the previous person’ US president suggests worst-case result of assassination would be regime change that fails to relieve repression

One wonders if #IlDouche realises that there are likely billions of humans from all across the planet who've similar concerns about a country with a much larger population & military than #Iran. Said country also admits to the possession of an enormous stock of nukes (& has actually used them)>

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

It is very difficult to see this as anything other than confirmation of the underlying racism of the #ReformParty faithful. This poll is about citizens not all immigrants.

I see #IlDouche still struggles with the concept of consent.

Melania Trump urges protecting children’s education at UN after Iran school strike The first lady’s UN security council speech came days after Iranian media reported an airstrike killed 165 people and injured 96 others at girls’ school

I think #IlDouche's soon-to-be-third-ex-wife needs to do more to coordinate her messages with those of her hubby. Don't you?

Security Alert: U.S. Embassy Jerusalem (March 2, 2026)β€―UPDATE on Ministry of Tourism Shuttles - U.S. Embassy Jerusalem

In addition to refusing to have a plan for after the attacks on #Iran it appears that, according to the US Embassy in Israel at least, there is no plan for during either as they announce that Americans are on their own.

Saturday Night Live criticised by charity for 'hurtful' Tourette's sketch The condition is

I watched a snippet of this and that was all I could stand. It was grossly offensive. #SNL I am very disappointed to say the least.

So if I get this right the American justification for attacking #Iran is that it was a proactive, pre-emptive retaliation triggered because our mate, let's call them #Israel, was about to start a fight or have I misinterpreted Secretary of State #LittleMarco?

FAO #LittleMarco - even if it was just 'depraved indifference' it's still a crime against humanity. Enjoy your stay in Den Haag.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

So we've embarked on a #Jihad then. I'm sure the Ayatollah would have appreciated the irony.
