There's a new Pope. He looks like a one of the good guys. He's supposed to be, that's his job. The USA reacts like it has won the Soccer World Cup. Can we move on now, please?

Vance visits Pope, Pope dies. Of shock, one would imagine.

No. We're transitioning backwards. All part of a cunning plan to get relegated next season.

Putin is a piece of shit just like his mate Donald who - despite what he says - is perfectly happy to let the killing go on in Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan, wherever, as it deflects attention from his own evil plans to grab Canada, the Panama Canal, Greenland, the World. The distance of a lobe FFS.

Who is Laura Loomer, the far-right influencer behind Trump’s national security firings? The white nationalist has been in Trump’s orbit for years, although the White House has tried to sideline her at times

I'm starting to hear of people trying to cleanse their social media accounts of anti-Trump commentary as they're worried about not getting into the USA for holiday visits. Who would want to go there anyway at the moment and what happened to free speech? O yeah, I forgot, that's been butchered.
