French President Macron:

“Europe is an extremely attractive continent. For months I’ve been saying this. And thanks to our American friends, I now have an unprecedented selling point: We are predictable.”

Repost is so important here - Likes are nice but don’t have any effect on the number of people seeing a creator’s work. Like block, use repost early and often to make everyone’s feed richer.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

I don’t know who to credit this with, but it’s perfect for those of us drafting into uncertainty.

Disinformation has not only become a billion dollar industry, its party policy.

#caturday groom and punch-up!

"leveraging the presidency for profit" is an extremely corrupt way to describe extreme corruption

The illiberals do not always get to win.

Can't express how much I resent the US and Israel pouring petrol on the middle east and lighting the match, dragging the rest of the world into what could be the worst global crisis for decades

The Untold Story of Robert Mueller's Time in Combat Special Counsel Robert Mueller's job is to make sense of how Russia hacked the 2016 election. But to make sense of Mueller, you have to revisit Vietnam's bloodiest battles.

the more likely it is to move.

If there is a crisis, his position resolves:
he is golfing at Mar-a-Lago.

I will never understand how this happened in a country that has been the pre-eminent place for scientific research and education for a century:

Same reaction here when explaining to them that grooming happens but once a day.

"If the story is true it means that the Iron Lady had centuries of royal and aristocratic blood coursing through her veins. The Brownlows trace their lineage back to Gauthier d’Aincourt who was of royal blood and who fought alongside William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. Harry Cust, who died in 1917 at the age of 55, claimed descent from King Edward III." (From https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/393503/Did-True-Blue-blood-run-in-Lady-Thatcher-s-veins)

Only tangentially relevant, but some Tories in the 80s decided Margaret Thatcher was so wonderful she couldn't possibly be of common stock. ("There’s blood there, no doubt about it", said Julian Amery). So they made up an aristocratic lineage for her, via a grandmother who was a maid at Belton House

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...
