Iran. They better negotiate a fair deal. 32k dead. Cranes used for hanging.

💔. Absolutely desperate

Jesus H Christ.

What in the screaming batshittery was that? I mean he looks like a reanimated corpse from some horror film but still… He’s pissed off and going to press the button on Iran isn’t he?

When he finally karks it and his entire scumbag bastard grifting family flee to Israel/Russia, I really hope the US takes a long hard look at how this ever became a thing. And takes firms steps to ensure this never happens again.

Remember he admitted hitting Switzerland with massive tariffs (until they gave him a gold clock, and grovelled) because he didn’t like how he was spoken to? Hopefully today’s ruling will put an end to this exercise in humiliation.

No BINGO full house for me. I have sleepy Joe on mine. And Barack HUSSAIN Obamna.

We were out at a party, so I've missed the excitement.

But, surely... No witch-hunt? No Democrat Hoax?

Don's losing his touch

I do hope nobody tells him about Spain.

Actually, it might raise his blood-pressure to the point at which he exploded, messily. Let's all talk about Spain all we can!

What is happening with Spain ?

So - I just came across this conspiracy theory that Epstein and GM were replaced by impersonators. The photos, if legit, do look like different people. I scoff at most conspiracy theories but...wouldn't put it past them at all. Different rules & all that. Would be lovely if true, and exposed as then they could both be held to account (my glasses are very much rose tinted 😆)

First, plastic surgery exists for GM, and the GE ear thing can be explained by camera angle.
From experience of being at the passing away of a family member, I know that the mortician is also talking rubbish.

Here's why the mortician is wrong.

  • If the jaw muscles were relaxed while the mouth was already closed.
  • If someone gently closed the mouth soon after death (common in hospitals or hospice settings).
  • In some sudden deaths, facial position may remain as it was at the moment it occurred.
There isn’t one universal pattern — it depends on circumstances, muscle tone, position, and what was happening just before death.

I, however, believe it possible that GE did not commit suicide but was murdered (most probably at Trump's command).🤔

As far as I can tell by the insane Epstein thread on here, this was started by some crazy anti-vaxx, 9/11 conspiracy theorist Italian architect. It's amazing how posts on x by some random end up with some kind of credibility by default.

I pointed on the the other thread that 6 years in a high security prison, with bad food, bad lighting, bad prison eyeglasses, no massages or Botox or expensive skin care, doesn't tend to do much in the looks department for women in their 60s.

Like @logicisall, I would not be in the least surprised if GE was murdered. From a rational perspective, what would be the point of keeping them alive and hiding them?

Last I saw Breitbart, they were saying he is a commie. They hated the last one.

Bleeding hearts and all that.

It might be a location thing, but I just checked the GB news site US section, and no mention of SCOTUS at all.

Aye, fearless Journalism indeed. I saw an article about how the BBC are doing cover ups because they are "woke".

Yup. Thankfully right wing news holds nothing back, and tells it like it is .They do REAL news, with no ideological bent at all.

I can get Irish Gript news too. That's the same.

I have just checked Gbeebies and it is not your location.

Ha ha yup.

Ain't it amazing how the orgs that blare out " Real news" are the ones that are most selective :-)

I think he honoured his father and his mother, while they were alive. But I can't prove that.

As I said in another thread, recently, the ten commandments are so BC. Why are these "Christians" so selectively obsessed with the old book?

They enjoy smiting rather than turning the other cheek?

Because it's full of nastiness they can relate to, I expect. Like, oh, being imprecated to dash out the brains of their enemies' babies against the rocks. Suits the Southern Baptist mindset, that sort of vengeful behaviour.

(Psalm 137 verse 9, if people want to check.)

The later bits where God is specified as saying things like "Vengeance is mine; I will repay" tend to be overlooked a bit.

As for instance Romans 12, where it says
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

That's too modern for the Bible-thumping MAGA. That's why they cleave to the older books. Turning the other cheek is not something they want to consider.
