@davidaxelrod I don’t think Vance quite gets that it is the EU beuracrats who actually fund them to a level where they aren’t all small scale farmers etc - personally I would chuck Hungary out

This is truly unprecedented. A vice president of the United States wading in hip deep in another country's election. And he is doing it on behalf of Viktor Orban, the autocratic prime minister of Hungary, whose efforts to gut democracy there were a template for @realDonaldTrump's here.

@TheGriftReport Might be the case - I’ve lost a fair bit in last year ( well 2 and a half stone) without WLI , takes a lot of will power and consistency though , as I always put weight on holiday and then take3 weeks to get rid of it . It is doable, all WLI really do is cut appetite a lot .

This Morning star Alison Hammond has dropped a staggering 11 stone, going from 30 stone at her heaviest. The secret? She ditched her “childish mentality” around food after a pre-diabetes scare (her mum had Type 2). Her favourite treat, toffees, is now limited to just a couple a day. Sweets and fatty foods are gone. She’s had a personal trainer for five years, does Reformer Pilates and boxing, and now eats everything in moderation. She claims it was NOT weight-loss jabs. 👀 thoughts?

@CWSTracker @adamscochran I do think this would maybe be a better idea, congress or senate, at least you can see on a national scale their performance , rather than say a governor or a random like Trump

@esotericvicky @adamscochran That's not really where we pick Presidents from historically. Dating back to 1960 only two US Presidents had their immediate previous occupation be Congressman: JFK and Obama.

Is the current Dem leadership useless? Yes. But American voters, both MAGA, third-party and those who sat out, gave MAGA Republicans the govnerment trifecta. Executive, both houses of Congress and the SCOTUS. Dems have zero legal recourse. Other than rallying displays, which would be nice, what can we ask of them here? They need Republican votes.

@Dark_Phnx83 @adamscochran I can see there’s whole system is corrupt to some extent - I think how campaigns are funded needs to be seriously looked at - it’s positively inviting trouble .

@esotericvicky @adamscochran We've yearned that for *decades.* Problem is a *lot* of the elected Dems are really Republican-lite. Bought off by the same lobbies, have many of the same beliefs, and "opposition" is token at best. For every AOC, there's 5 John Fetterman's. Our system is fundamentally broken

@CWSTracker @adamscochran Yep as I’ve said to the other responder I think this needs changing so you have 2 strong and present spokespeople- ideally ones who will probably be presidential candidates.

@esotericvicky @adamscochran If they weren't in complete disarray the Republican party could effectively govern completely unopposed right now.

@Dark_Phnx83 @adamscochran Thanks for that - I can see there’s no power but I would immediately change this so you have strong effective spokespeople - maybe pick 2 of the people most likely to be presidential candidates - and make it ones who are good with the media , both social and physical

@esotericvicky @adamscochran When one party is in power, there is the minority leader. It's the closest we have to an opposition leader. But unlike with you guys, here it's merely ceremonial. No real power. In the House, it's Hakeem Jeffries, who's useless. In the Senate, Chuck Schumer- worse than useless.

@Acyn Good grief where did this guys spine come from!!

Christie: I think anyone that follows politics can tell there are no principles left in my party. Even for people who agree with some of the stuff the president is doing, if you are honest with yourself, you know it is not based on principle. He wakes up every morning and tries to figure out, what is the best thing for him to do in his self interest that day. But the real lack of principle is on display every day in the House and Senate. These people have become lemmings.

@Hepworthclare Couldn’t agree more and unlike Polanski seems to view defence policy as hugely important , not an optional extra over a cup of tea .

@shira39503 @realBenBloch Well that’s strange shira - Im in the UK and have seen nothing of the sort - only arrests for people ‘inciting’ mass attacks/looting/riots etc -

@realBenBloch Worth noting that the UK actually arrest it's citizens for tweeting things the UK government doesn't like. The US is monitoring those seeking student VISA's etc in order to keep out extremists radicals who shout "death to America", death to Jews, call for global violence, etc.

Worth pointing out that the US Government is now checking all social media accounts of everyone applying for visas - to check what they've said.

@mark_slapinski Indeed it’s Hitlers playbook

BREAKING: Trump plans to declare a NATIONAL EMERGENCY to steal the midterm elections, according to a leaked memo.

@maddenifico Basically it’s a bunch of talentless people with cash who got lucky and are determined to Milk it to the end - they know their number is cooked!!

Listen to smug vacuous cunt Mike Lawler explain away and rationalize the pedophile psychopath's Hitler-esque "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" boast. 😳👇

@CalltoActivism @smileyrach2 Fraidxso - wouldn’t be suprised if Trump was a plant due to being blackmailed by Putin etc

🚨WTF: JD Vance just declared war on our European allies while campaigning in Budapest, Hungary, for Putin’s favorite anti-democratic thug. Viktor Orbán. Is it now official policy of the U.S. to undermine our allies and side with Putin’s buddies? JD Vance is an embarrassment.

@ZackPolanski @FickNerrariLBC Don’t you think he might well be well up to speed and unlike Trump not so gung ho about constantly commenting about behind the scenes- -Trump would have been tweeting about the Normandy beaches!- I’m afraid dealing with arseholes you don’t constantly need to play to the public

We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash. Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do? Suspend US bases now.

@lanedeankendall It shows a distinct lack of understanding of soft power on his part, arming and funding opposition and the fact if you want help it’s not RAMBO , you need to coordinate with allies first, even in secret. He’s now going to either commit genocide or basically show he’s all mouth

If you're actual takeaway is that Trump is going to commit nuclear genocide against the Iranian people, well, you're a moron. You can disagree with the post, in fact the first line and the last line of the post are antithetical towards each other, so that's a valid criticism. But if you genuinely think he has his finger on the nuclear button, that's something else and you might need help. However, if I'm wrong and he decides to wipe out millions of civilians I will happily join you all in escorting him to The Hague.

@piersmorgan just said the same - works both ways matey - I would also get rid in the EU and UK of easy treaties to just ‘move in ‘ for Americans - things like DAFT in Netherlands - we Brits can’t just ‘move there’ why can Americans? - sorry to right minded Americans, but it’s true

Do you feel the same about non-American citizens being banned from entering the U.S. for past comments about President Trump?

@TheStaad You need someone who ‘makes America great again ‘without resorting to aggressive threats of others assets and territory - instead of cash for wars create good jobs by modernising - better train networks, less oil dependency ,better roads, - more good quality affordable housing

This ain’t no “5D Chess” game It’s time to lick our wounds caused by Trump’s betrayal, realize we got the leader we deserved instead of the one we needed, and move on from him. He has more than adequately shown who he really is. Any denial is simply a refusal to let go of who we wanted him to be. This happens all the time in relationships. It shouldn’t with our politicians Now, it’s time to improve ourselves as a society and go and get the leaders we really need I believe this is beginning to happen. I hate that it took what it took, but it did How will we respond?

@ThomasPaineBand Out of interest, is Truth social monetised? Because if so it reminds me of the Louis Theroux documentary ‘manosphere’ a bunch of flash suited utter jerks getting a stiffy on power and influence and cash -

I voted for Trump three times. Trump is now a complete mad man and a psychopath. WWIII looks inevitable. Trump said, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." This is a threat to kill 93 million people. This is worse than the language that Hitler used. Trumps said he wanted to "free the people of Iran', now he wants to slaughter them all. In the same post Trump said, "God Bless the Great People of Iran!" This is insanity. He wants to wipe out the oldest civilization in the world and then says God bless them. Congress has done nothing to bring Dictator Trump to heel. We are ruled by criminals that are slaves to Israel. Remember that Trump declared war without Congressional approval. If Trump actual does what he says he is going to do, it pretty much guarantees World War 3. Russia, China and their allies will have no choice but to wage an all out attack on the USA because they know that they will be next on Trump's hit list. Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!"

@ClayTravis Well that’s strange clay - your gvt are doing exactly that if they don’t like us even criticising the gvt , president or USA on social media - works both ways

England banning Kanye West from entering the country because of his past comments is insane. No American citizen should be barred from entering England for any public commentary on any subject, no matter how offensive, period.

@w_bitterman ! I don’t quite get what you are saying- plenty of Democrats are Christian in attitude and church attendance , both politicians and the public - just because many Republicans labour the ‘God’ point for political purpose it doesn’t mean they are always very Christian in attitude
