Saw George Santos has left the Republican Party and is going to run as an independent.

 

The road to the White House has begun.

American congressman and man of God. Happy Easter.

I think liberals are too tolerant by nature. Trump is a crook, bannon is a crook, their followers ransacked Congress and killed coppers, and here we are again. 

 

There are far more liberals than there are these shitstains, and as Truss and her ilk proved over here, they're thick as fuck to boot.

 

Can't believe ordinary folk let these skidmarks push everyone around to the extent that they do.

 

But then I suppose that's how a barely literate chicken farmer becomes head of the SS.

Yep, imagine  being  able to say during the election debates "you paid for sex with a pornstar behind your pregnant wife's back, and then lied about it under oath" when Trump bangs on about his Christian values. But I very much doubt if Biden would go there, or even that he'd remember to bring it up if he was minded to go there.

If any of you guys are interested, Lauren Boebert is getting divorced, so she’s back on the market.

 

Two on the dance floor!

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) husband filed for divorce Wednesday on the grounds that the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” according to court documents.  

Perry Greene’s divorce petition requests an equitable division of the pair’s assets.

It's amazing how little genuine concern and coverage we see about this. From Business Insider :

What do you care about fiscal responsibility? Some anarchist you are.

Shame on you!

Don't worry and don't ask such questions  Israel can bomb Palestinian kids at will whilst enjoying free healthcare. Who gives a fuck about the average Yank on the street.

I can see how a lot of Americans are getting wound up for various reasons, people all over the world might start caring soon too if they start being aware of what this could mean for the financial system at some stage. Biden or Trump don't seem likely to sort this out either so we could be well on track for this soon (from Bank of America) :

These people are unhinged. America is fucked. The President is stumbling around telling tales of his Uncle Bosey being eaten by cannibals, his opponent is in a New York courthouse.

The fate of Palestinian children being decided by politicians who should be in an asylum. 

[Gnasher]

From an outsider's viewpoint America seems to be in the process of tearing itself apart over Israel. Could become a crisis not seen since Vietnam. 

 

 

The older politicial elite appear and media seem a million miles away from a lot of the younger generations on the issue of Israel and Gaza. I'm wondering how much social media platforms such as tiktok (which I thought was was just kids doing stupid dancing) are having an influence.  Maybe the youngsters are getting information and ideas off each other on social media and not the traditional media outlets? I don't know tbh. What's now obvious is you've got young people as diverse as college graduates through to world champion American boxers (Ryan Garcia, 25, has pledged 20 million dollars to Gaza, link below) speaking out. Their appears a growing divide between the generations.  Possibly why the American political establishment are eager to ban tiktok?  The snapshot below shows how deep the divisions. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The forthcoming assault by Israel on Rafah using American money and weapons should calm things down for the summer. Throw in the Trump trial and the beginning of the election campaign and we'll just have to see how it goes. 

[Gnasher]

Zing.

Yeah the TikTok ban is described well in this clip I think :

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

Tik Tok was already "banned" outright by a Donald Trump Presidential executive order years ago - they won in court.

It has been "banned" in a number of individual States and has won in court.

I vaguely remember something about kids on tiktok messing up one of his rallies by pretending to buy tickets?
