Did Trump watch the same footage everyone else did 🤷 Look at even Vance’s face as he’s literally making stuff up as he goes along. Vance is thinking “stop talking, please stop talking”.

I don’t know why people are saying Trump exaggerated the ICE shooter’s injuries. As he saunters away (presumably walking to the hospital, where he was going to be “recovering”) you can clearly see where he’s been hit by Good’s car 🤷

Same people, different uniform.

What if it transpires that the ICE agent is one of the pardoned January 6th insurrectionists 😳 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Trump can only stay out of jail for the Epstein files if he is an actual dictator. So he’s going to HAVE TO carry on doing all this war and division shit until the American people are broken and there’s nobody left to stop him. He has no choice. It’s him or American democracy.

The US already has major assets in Greenland: Pituffik (Thule) Space Base for missile early-warning and space tracking; long-standing defence access agreements with Denmark; and Cold War legacy sites like Camp Century. Strategic access without sovereignty — by consent, not force.

Greenland has major rare-earth deposits, but they’re bound up with uranium, meaning mining would produce radioactive waste. After strong local opposition, the government blocked uranium-linked mining in 2021. But what if the government changed and said “drill baby drill”? @thetrawl.bsky.social

Four iconic pictures from the last 100 years. Please feel free to add your own. It makes me sad to see how far the world has fallen in that short time.

The two minutes it takes to turn a potato into a hassleback potato 🤷 It’s two minutes you actually do get back 🤷

Two minute mediterranean sauce. Kalamata olives, home bargains roasted red pepper (£1 a jar) tin of value tomatoes, Parmesan and some spices that you choose. Sadly I haven’t got any fresh herbs in it because I’m away for Christmas. Blitz with a Billy blender and there you go 😋

Life hack for hassleback potato fans 😃

The latest release contains no mention of Trump and no evidence to suggest he appears in the material.

Get her the fuck back into the jail she should be in. Not this all inclusive rich club prison. Enough of this “easy time if she doesn’t implicate “ certain people 🤬 FFS America, wake up. Stop putting up with this paedophile shit 🤷

America, we had one as well. Jimmy Saville. A rich, famous untouchable man who never got prosecuted, although everyone knew. He got away with being a paedophile because he was powerful. After his death it all came out. 450 victims from 1955 to 2009. Ringing any bells?

Woke Antifa transgender vegan activists with Trump Derangement Syndrome have defiled the recently renamed and restored Trump Lincoln Memorial 🤷 😉😘

Thank you @mrjamesob.bsky.social for my weekday 10am listen. Merry Christmas to you and your kin 🎄 Thank you @marina-purkiss.bsky.social and @jemmaforte.bsky.social for my twice, sometimes thrice weekly podcasts. You big lovely buggers.

Sprouts again tonight 😉🎄😋

Sorry Venezuela but “you’re it”! You’re how Trump is going to distract from the release of the Epstein Files on Friday. It’s not personal, it could have been Canada, Mexico or Greenland, but you’ve drawn the short straw on this one 😬

Two Presidents, two responses to the same tragedy. America. What have you done to yourselves 🤷 @mrjamesob.bsky.social @thetrawl.bsky.social

I hope FIFA don’t take Trumps peace prize away for this blatant act of war! 😳

Last night we were in Greece with a moussaka. Tonight we’re in Umbria with a prawn, courgette, and green bean pappardelle, drizzled with lemon oil. Who know where we’ll be tomorrow 🤷 (just a shame we’re stuck at home in Donegal really with yet another storm raging outside 😣) 😋

For those of you planning on visiting America for the World Cup. Make sure you download your “what to do when the mass shooting happens” card 🇺🇸 www.cisa.gov/sites/defaul...

This is fucking awful, truly terrible. This man needs to spend the rest of his life in prison. But, because there have been absolutely no pictures of him, this monster from Stoke on Trent, I’m going to guess he’s a white bloke born in the UK to white parents 🤔

This is a closeup of the FIFA medal Trump has just been awarded

I’m right in Mr’s R’s good books 😃 She was expecting dahl, but I surprised her with garlic and dill hake with hassleback potatoes, roasted red onion, butternut stuffed with garlic and chorizo, asparagus and a roasted red pepper and chorizo sauce. Doesn’t know she’s born 🤣

Does anyone else sleep as badly as me? There’s always way too much going on in my head. There’ll be two or three things I’m thinking (not worrying) about, a tune on repeat (mostly the theme to “Friends” 🤷) and an acute awareness of the slightest sound (despite ear plugs) 😣

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP. But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion. He said it was a “hoax”. He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference. Why?

Sky News are asking this man about financial honesty 🤷 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

He took bribes from Russia as well didn’t he. Of course he did. I think you know who I’m talking about.

I gave up smoking with the UK pub ban in 2007. When you look at it, smoking makes no sense at all. It benefits rich people and kills poor people ChatGPT says “Total you spent while smoking (1978–2007): ~£30–35k What you’ve NOT spent since quitting (2007–2025): roughly £50–65 😱

This is why I can’t give up on Twitter. Same post. Same time….. Compare the engagement. The likes, reposts and comments 😬🤷

This is absolutely historic. Unbelievable. Listen to what this president say. I honestly think this press meeting is the end of him.

Can’t explain it. I thought it was going to be just “ok” but for some reason this tea was the nicest thing I’ve cooked for as long as I can remember. The butternut stuffed with garlic and chorizo? The lemon pepper chicken thighs, the mature cheddar red onion, spiced carrots 🤷

Jesus Christ 😱 When did one of these become €1.75 😱 I thought they were about 50c till I was looking through the shopping receipt 😳 No more treats for MRs R 🤷

Right. It’s Saturday Night quiz time. He’s an absolute favourite of mine. Who is this? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

This was filmed over 80 years ago after defeating the Nazis in WWII Trump and his cronies are back at it again right now. What happened to you America 🤷😢

Having something for tea that I can’t remember cooking before. Fresh mackerel. If I realised how many bones were in it I probably wouldn’t have bothered. Luckily I have good fish bone tweezers 😃 Lots of buttery horseradish and dill mash too 😋

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

Following her speech on incredibly difficult financial matters for the entire country’s finances and future, there were many good and relevant questions asked by the press. Then it’s @ChrisMasonBBC’s turn and he asks “why she got her house rental license wrong 🙄 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Horrible stormy night in Donegal (for a change 🙄) so I’ve brightened our evening with stuffed peppers (mushroom, Parmesan, fresh dill and chorizo rice) with lemon pepper chicken thighs and roast veg and a bit of crunchy salad 😋

Mrs R has started a new job, so I had some time on my hands today to make her a nice tea. I genuinely had no idea what I was going to make until I boiled some potatoes. It’s Spanish pork chops with broad beans and a chorizo, black olive, garlic and red onion mash. She liked it 😃

The power to remove the Speaker lies with the House itself. Any member can file a motion to vacate the chair — it only takes one signature. If the Speaker answers to Trump, not America, then someone in that chamber needs to step up and call the vote.

You know what I’m referencing don’t you 😉

Aubergines are 49c each at Lidl, so I thought I’d have a go at my first ever moussaka! It was OK, nutmeg, cinnamon, oregano flavours. But, I could have made it a lot nicer. Sadly, after a week in Malaga, we’re on yet ANOTHER 🙄 diet, so it was completely oil and cheese free 😇

Out for a walk in Donegal 🥰

7 years ago today we got married in Gibraltar. We got a bus to Malaga for week long honeymoon. Back in Malaga today, where we’ve just had a gorgeous anniversary meal. We lived on a narrowboat for 2 years and then emigrated to Ireland. It’s been quite an adventure so far 🥰

I know you hate Antifa dad, but I learned in school today that Antifa means “Anti Fascist” so Antifa are actually against Fascism. Antifa are Anti- Fascists. So, if you’re against anti fascists, doesn’t that make you a fascist? Is mom a fascist too? Shall I be a fascist?
