😂

I think it’s been clear for quite a while that Israel are completely out of control. It would not be the first time they have targeted a negotiator or some moderate that would help reach an agreement.

And for the lurkers that does not mean I am pro Hamas, Hezbollah or Iran.

Ahh. So you are just anti-Israel obviously.

I am joking. You just missed that bit out. The "I am not anti Israel" bit. I know, I know.

:-)

😂

Sky just now:

"Pentagon considers diverting Ukraine aid to Middle East - report
The Pentagon is considering diverting weapons intended for Ukraine, to the Middle East, the Washington Post has reported.
Citing three sources, it said that as the US burns through some of its most critical munitions during the Iran war, it is considering how best to replenish them.
The outlet added that a final decision had not been made.
Weapons that could reportedly be diverted included air defence interceptor missiles ordered by the NATO PURL programme."

I hope Congress has a role in helping the Pentagon reach it's decision. It is them that allocated the funds after all ?

Absolutely agree 💯

As far as I am concerned, all these threads have done is to confirm that Congress is obsolete while the Senate are taking up valuable real estate.

If they are diverting resources from Ukraine that would suggest the theories about them running out of whatever they need are at least partly true. It would also suggest they see this going on for a while.

Honestly they should have just jailed the mad fucker when they convicted him of 30+ felonies. If boots do end up going in the ground and more troops lose their lives I hope every single judge that threw out a case or decided that Trump was eligible to stand for president and every member of congress that has failed to hold him to account takes a good long look to see if they can find their conscience.

Talking of jailing mad fuckers, Maduro was in court again.

I have a sneaky suspicion the Trump admin is going to totally mess this up. VZ and Maduro are still sanctioned, so they can't engage legal representation. Technically Maduro can only get a court appointed state defender.

Mess something up? The Trump administration?
Surely not? 😂

VZ and Maduro are still sanctioned, so they can't engage legal representation.

The US really needs a written constitution. That way everyone would know their rights.

And on the US domestic front, DHS now saying they may 'have to' carry through on threat to close down some of the smaller airports due to the TSA situation.

Potential list;

Orlando Sanford Intl (this is NOT the main 'Disney Tourist' airport)
Punta Gorda (FL)
Tucson Intl (AZ)
Fresno Yosemite Intl (CA)
Palm Springs Intl (CA)
Sta Barbara Municipal (CA)
Portland Intl Jetport (ME)
St Pete-Clearwater Intl (FL)
Savannah/Hilton Head Intl (GA)

It would be written in sharpie...

Can they do that? Surely that's like saying, "let's shut Disneyland". They're private businesses aren't they?

or English 😀

(I'll get my coat)

Make a couple of nice ballrooms I reckon.

The bigliest golden dome in the world.

On a serious note though. Imagine all the pro democracy/ anti authoritarian campaigners around the world. "Overthrow your oppressors and you too can have democracy like the USA".

Not sure you should mention a golden dome and two ballrooms in one post...
I've just had my lunch 😉

I mean pay for legal bods of course. I did go on to mention the public defender.

I think I saw something a while back about them wanting that team who represented the Honduras President.

And the Judge is 92 ? How is that alone not grounds for appeal ?

Oh god he’s giving a speech.

i’ve only been tuned in for 30s and I’be already ticked sleepy joe Biden, the worst president the country has ever had and Barrack Hussein Obama off my bingo card.

For a country obsessed with the Bible, not many seem to know about 3 score and ten.

And just now on Sky :

"Netanyahu: 'Killing IRGC navy commander was US-Israeli teamwork'
Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the alleged killing of the IRGC navy commander was "yet another example of the cooperation between us and our friend, the US".
Earlier today, we brought you the news that Israel had claimed to have killed Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp navy commander Alireza Tangsiri (see our 10:58 post)."

Playing him like a chump.

And no, I am not anti Isreal :-)

What is he going on about here?

Trump: "They shot the now-famous Ireland--- the island that the UK was very afraid to give us."

https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mhxtz7bedl2r

I think he forgot the name of Chagos islands/Diego Garcia. He was on about the missile shot 2000miles.

Hilariously he has just said he has a motto - Never forget.

Iran have been obliterated btw. Completely destroyed. Entire navy sunk.

I'm really not sure it's up to the UK to "give" the Republic of Ireland to an orange whack job in America, tbh...

I think the Irish might have something to say about it.
