The US electorate decided to give these criminal lunatics a trifecta.
09.11.2025 21:19 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Meh British Railways.
I suppose it's better than the dreadful British railways of the early Noughties.
"You can't have nice things" is such an appealing proposition.
09.11.2025 21:16 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Anyone who posts such an annoying gif deserves an instant block.
09.11.2025 21:02 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Their divorce from reality is rather worrying.
09.11.2025 20:54 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I suppose it doesn't matter if you have a fixed canon when you can read it in many different ways.
09.11.2025 20:52 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0His Ideas were not uncontradictory.
09.11.2025 20:50 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yep.
A case of wait and see.

More joy in heaven over one Right - wing fruit loop who repented.
09.11.2025 20:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I suppose since Watson was so old there wouldn't be much need to update.
09.11.2025 20:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Very likely.
09.11.2025 20:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Let us know if you've found out what that is.
09.11.2025 20:28 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The *Liberation Theology* revolutions.
09.11.2025 20:26 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Fretilin (Timor - Leste) were a bit like that, but because the movement was bloodily crushed by Indonesia it's hard to say how it would have developed.
09.11.2025 20:24 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Maybe he's just fed up.
09.11.2025 20:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0As a bid for sympathy it may work out for them.
09.11.2025 20:12 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's definitely an interesting case.
09.11.2025 20:11 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I suppose it depends whether you think gutter racism counts as an ideology or not.
09.11.2025 20:09 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yeah.
That's why I think Czechoslovakia is a doubtful case.
Doesn't look like a deal is all that close.
09.11.2025 20:02 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I don't think it's ever happened.

09.11.2025 19:54 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Seems like a sensible thing for him to do.

09.11.2025 19:45 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0"Paul Martin".
Hmm!
Could I bear to reread early Martin Amis?
Not the most enticing blurb.
09.11.2025 19:40 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's *Sergeant Lamb of The Ninth*.
