So Mandelson was to be appointed no matter what!!! Once again we have a Prime Minister who believes that the rules don’t apply to them. We saw it multiple times with Boris Johnson and now sadly with Kier Starmer. I hope Olly Robbins sues.

@LBuckingham @Nickslive Stevie Nicks may have got the credit for writing the ‘song’, which is essential in itself of course. But it’s Lindsey Buckingham’s rift that truly turned it into the great song that it became.

Rhiannon. Part two.

Well someone knew & after 14yrs of lies corruption & law breaking from the Tory party yet again it’s one rule for one… Why is it that every other f**ker has to follow the rules yet politicians & the ‘so called elite’ believe that rules don’t apply to them😡 Mandelson / Starmer

You and Tice were experts when it came to to Angela Rayner!

Trump says his life was better before he became president. Dude, everyone's lives were better before you became president!

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I will obliterate her entire civilization. She now charges me a fee to use the bathroom, that used to be free, and I didn't get dinner. WTF

A blockade to block the blockade that's blocking the Strait that wasn't blocked before being blocked due to war of choice launched by Trump. Strategery!

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@jakeshieldsajj It Was Open!

If Trump is able to open the Strait of Hormuz he will be the greatest president in American history No president before him even attempted to negotiate to open it You are playing chess while the president is playing 5D chess MAGA for life

Pete Buttigieg is so fucking good at this shit. He’s just so fucking good.

@Spartan_Intel @durdyessobee I’m glad your airman is safe and agree. But I can’t ignore the question, did he and along with your other military personnel need to be there in the first place?

@durdyessobee I don't care how much of my tax dollars it takes to bring everyone home. Who gives a fuck if a couple replaceable airframes are lost on the mission to no loss of life. So yes the families who have their loved ones coming home are the richest people on earth.

"omg they had to destroy two C-130s on the ground what a huge loss for them!" Lockheed Martin meanwhile:

@SecWar This is so twisted, words fail.

The tomb is empty. The promise is fulfilled. Through His sacrifice, we are redeemed. We stand firm in faith, courage, and truth—Happy Easter.

@FmrRepMTG I wonder if those who voted for Trump are either beginning to realise or will ever realise that they voted for a psychopath?

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

@WhiteHouse I’m not sure God would be blessing you right now. I’m glad your pilot / aircrew member has been rescued, but you were the ones who put him unnecessarily there in the first place.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

@DI313_ But it’s not a war movie though, is it. Real people are dying, civilians are being killed and somehow yanks think this is just some big action war movie.

‼️🇺🇸 Straight out of a war movie. Late night, US special forces locate the second pilot and land a transport for extraction but it gets stuck. Operators are forced to hold positions under fire as three more aircraft rush in for a high-risk rescue. At the same time, a C-130 gets trapped in sand at a remote base in Iran. With no recovery possible, a Delta element destroys it on the spot. Two US aircraft gone in one mission.

The crew of the Artemis are currently further away from Trump than any other humans. Lucky bastards!

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

This is the problem with putting a fucking idiot in charge who then surrounds himself with other fucking idiots, it takes us to where we now are. Fucking up your own country is one thing, but no you couldn’t just leave it at that. Trump America Israel Iran Hormuz Straits NATO

@WhiteHouse 😳

President Trump will never waver in protecting and celebrating faith and religious liberty. This Holy Week, the Trump administration honors the Christian faith with several events at the White House leading up to the blessed holiday of Easter. 💛🇺🇸
