The 3 not surprisingly find that legally President Trump can do whatever he likes, but that if a Democrat President did the same it would be illegal

What a momentous day for the British state. And what an iconic image to capture it

Discovered last summer at the bottom of the building where I had a flat for a brief (but glorious) period.. maps.app.goo.gl/SJhmh7ntC8Mz... no web site, v local, just a recommendation.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem โ€œI Am Somebody,โ€ a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

Yes, the Central Station too. Quickest and most direct way from there to Kongens Nytorv is via Strรธget. Ps: There is a parallel street partially navigable by car too.

Partly due to the geographic fluke of it connecting a principal transport node (Nรธrreport) with what could be described as the CBD/tourist/retail hub. Akin to a pedestrianised thoroughfare between Les Halles and the Champs-Elysรฉes.

A Danish doctor told me a bursitis shoulder would cure itself .. in time. After nearly 2 months of excruciating pain I went to private, got a cortisone injection and miraculouslyโ€ฆ. This would NEVER have happened in France. I take French medical expediency over Nordic stoicism every single time.

Youโ€™ve got to work on it. Inculcated British cap-doffism. โ€œShit-bag Monaco-living tax-dodging billionaire industrialist โ€œSirโ€ Jim etc..โ€ might be better intro, but probably can be bettered.

Itโ€™s inculcated British cap-doffing. A human can be the biggest shit but still has to be addressed deferentially. Taught from birth.

One thing that genuinely does mystify me, with no snark: Trump is one of the least masculine, least adult people in public life. Needy, whiny, defensive, pleading, scared of women & terrified of more powerful men.

Iโ€™m at a loss about why Trumpโ€™s base sees him as manly or strong.

Notwithstanding the state of the building IT twenty years ago very different from today.

The team that did the Notre Dame could probably do the job in half the time and at half the cost.

This truism cut no mustard for those who voted Leave in the Brexit debate. It has led to a an estimated 6โˆ’8%
decrease in UK per capita GDP and labour shortages as immigrants voted with their feet and left for more welcoming shores.

My brother had a dog. His name was Zog. I took him on a country walk. Zog the dog came across a baby deer, a proper bambi, hidden and curled up in the long grass. The silly bozzo just stood there, looked at it, looked at me and then licked it. He was joyous. I got a bit of grit in my eye etc etc.

A private or corporate landlord? It can make a difference.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Belgian PM Bart De Wever:

Trump is hostile to the idea of the EU. When he says he loves Europe, he actually means he loves 27 separate countries that would live in vassalage or drift toward slavery.

The only economy large enough to stand up to him is the economy of EU โ€” he doesnโ€™t like that.

Yep, that will help the cost of living crisis. They have no clue. Zero. Nada.

Itโ€™s the result of being drip-fed the bs for the last 8 years of incessant social media use.

Unfortunately, gross stupidity is also contagious and can cross geographies even quicker than measles.

This is the same for Horsham. Any tory muppet easily won this seat and done since forever. Until they didnโ€™t. And likely never will again.

Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of โ€˜intellectualโ€™ Tories & Reformโ€™s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)

Next meeting of Reform MPs:

Pochin: 'HELP, I feel very uncomfortable by the new brown face in the room!'
Braverman: 'It's OK, I know I can never be English.'
Lee Anderson: 'Aye, we all know Suella is a foreigner.'
Farage: 'Indeed. Rest assured we'll deport her when we win.'

All cheer.
