Desperately seeking that Peace Prize.
May have to settle for the Hero of the Russian Federation award. Bigly sad.

Delurking to send my best wishes to Acrossthepond. What an awful situation to have to navigate. Your contributions are always so insightful. I hope you will be able to return when you are ready.

@AcrossthePond55

Thank you for posting. I am so sorry about the position you find yourself in. Like others, I feared you were not posting because of your husband's poor health, though this is not exactly what I had been imagining. For many years, you have been on hand on countless threads on MN, giving your quiet, calm, and empathetic advice to many women in need of help. I hope that now, you yourself are being similarly supported by those around you. Please know that we are here to give you moral support, should you need it from people far away who think of you as a friend, even though we will never meet you in person. I hope your beloved sons are able to support you through this. Sending you love and only good thoughts to help you through this ordeal.

AcrossthePond55 · 29/08/2025 00:38

God bless you all. There aren't words to describe how cared for you have all made me feel.

@AcrossthePond55

I am so sorry to hear this. Your calm unflappable informative answers have been missed on here, it has been a very long time I have read and inwardly digested your posts.
What difficulties you are going through, there are a lot of people on here rooting for you and we will be here to support. I am so sorry you are going through this

Zonder · 29/08/2025 08:14

So sorry @AcrossthePond55 I have always appreciated your posts and you are really missed by many of us. I hope you can salvage the best possible out of this awful situation.

Or interesting ...

Given how paranoid Trump is, this can only be interpreted as a play for the crown. Especially if social media were to suggest it.

J.D. Brutus ?

Cassius Vance ?

Just trying to remember that the quiet people are probably not MAGA and there are a lot more of them.

But that equals F all if they’re willing to silently sit back and watch.

People who are interested in the world around them (I include myself in that cohort) should never forget how atypical they are. Most people generally don't know, and don't care until it actually happens to them and are wedded to their own little lives.

The WTF moments just keep on coming.

"All of which suggests the Kingdom of Denmark thinks it may be facing a threat of invasion for the first time since the Second World War, and by a country that is meant to be its most important ally. Trump himself has refused to rule out using military force."

Good TRIP US and Pod Save America podcasts today. Well worth a listen.

Trump has revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection.

Trump has revoked Kamala Harris’ Secret Service protection.

There’s no reason for that other than pure spite.

Cunt. Can he do that?

YankTank · 29/08/2025 14:34

How convenient that he’s cancelled it just as Kamala embarks on a book tour.

SerendipityJane · 29/08/2025 15:53

YankTank · 29/08/2025 14:29

Cunt. Can he do that?

I'm really surprised that so many people have missed the memo.

Until someone says stop, Trump can - and will - do whatever he wants. Congress is to all intents and purposes abolished, and he is simply ruling by decree.
