Trump often talks about how the US repeatedly came to the aid of others, and expresses anger at the lack of gratitude. But Trump didn’t do any of those things. Instead, he imposed tariffs. Destabilised economies. Insulted world leaders to their faces and threatened to invade their territories.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

Remember that Nigel Farage is Donald Trump's biggest supporter. Remember that Nigel campaigned for Trump and even wants to mimic all his policies. This is the sort of insanity Reform want to bring to the United Kingdom.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Any European or Canadian who thinks Trump’s America would come to the aide of a Russian invasion of their country (and that really would fall within the NATO ambition, unlike Iran) has not been paying attention. He’d be applauding from the sidelines.

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

It has honestly been quite a strange experience, alternating between images of dozens - hundreds - of rockets raining down on cities and just one heading out into space, carrying not a warhead, but people.

THE TRUTH: He’s an atheist who hates organized religion and all those who practice it; never went to religious school of any kind; spent his childhood throwing rocks at babies, bullying local kids and stockpiling weapons until he was sent to military school; and then immediately tried to kill a kid.

People are missing the point. The problem with these people is not that they think everything is about them. It's that they think every book is meant to be read as self-insert fanfic. They lack basic literacy. They've been trained that there's one way to read and it's self-insert coffeeshop AU

I haven’t seen any ‘we’re not allowed to call them Easter eggs any more’ posts this year. I hope I haven’t missed them all; it just doesn’t feel like Easter without them.

MAGAs parrot the same myths. Some facts: London is safer than every major US city - 3-4 times safer than NY, LA and Chicago. You are 7 times more likely to get stabbed in the US than the UK. 700 times more likely to get shot. ‘Sharia Law’ has no legal power whatsoever in the UK. We have UK law.

🇫🇷🇺🇸 Macron to Trump: We must be serious. And when we are serious, we do not say the opposite of what we said the day before. Perhaps we should not speak every day; we should simply calm things down and build lasting peace.
