Trump is really going to love the inevitable fall-of-Saigon scenes breaking out in the region’s already chaotic airports, thanks to this panicky plea

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Btw, the reason all these rich guys are having to turn to AI assistants to run their lives is that they don't realise how reliant their predecessors were on the invisible labour of women.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Trump: "I don't have to sleep. I've been on a plane sleeping for twenty--I mean, sleep on the plane! I don't sleep on planes. I don't like sleeping on planes, you know? I like looking out the window watching for missiles and enemies, actually." #SnakeOnAPlane
