This is a problem. It's not just the US that's being ripped-off. Markets rely on every country abiding by the rules. If someone in authority goes rogue and profiteers, the entire system is impacted and trust is lost. No one wants to play games with a cheat. The US better take heed.

They've had their chances. They've abused their positions. They're now realising that in order to keep *most* of their wealth, they may have to give *some* of it up willingly. That's not true altruism; that's fear. I vote for the "Hard way". Take it all back. Everything they took!
Elder Scrolls?
"He gave her a friendly tap". You get a friendly tap from a trusted male associate/family member. In any other circumstances this shouldn't happen without consent, because it can understandably offend.There are no circumstances in which an accused rapist an misogynist should put hands on a woman.
Oh, what a lovely experience for the sky-dwelling bird! It reminds me of how coal miners used to take their canary's down the pits with them for fun work day treats. I'm sure they loved it as much as this one obviously did! π«£π¬
WTAF?!!
P.s I'm definitely not a "Fuckwit" or a "Moron". I've been called much worse by very many over the years and they had cause to gripe, so it never bothered me. You don't bother me either. If you lack the ability for nuanced debate without resorting to insult, you can mute me and jog the f*ck on.
I don't think I said that. I abhor Farage's policies, and I'm not fond of labour's current policies: they're different things. I don't have to like one or the other. I can dislike both to different degrees. Your extremely abusive response tells me everything I need to know about your agenda. ππ»
That's so beautiful. Thanks for posting. I'm imagining sitting by a campfire, eating my chilli (I'm cooking it right now) and drinking a beer looking out at that. Images can induce such imagination.
He's already "In power". Didn't you notice? I can want a decent government that serves the people fairly and not want him in charge at the same time. If our only option is to vote for this or get that, then our government needs to make system changes now. I was a labour voter. This isn't labour.
I had the very great pleasure yesterday of catching one of the Deform minions delivering a leaflet to my letterbox. I handed it back, told him I'm not interested in racist grifting politics, and warned him not to come back on my propery. He looked despondent. Zero sympathy from me.
It's almost like the success of privately educated "Elites" is just because they had someone pull their bootstraps for them. Having access to wealth, especially inherited, does not mean you are smarter or more able: it often means you've been given an advantage over other more capable candidates.
Caveat emptor.
I haven't done that one. Looks like a gorgeous setting. If you did it, hats off to you with the weather being so bad.
Those skylines are unmistakable. A beautiful dusk and I can hear the birds singing their bedtime songs. Hope you've got a fire on. Enjoy and stay cosy.
This looks like The Lake District, which is both beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for sharing this image. Hope it's relaxing.
They are and deserve to rot in prison with nothing but time to reflect on their moral failings. I can only imagine how scared that 12 year-old is knowing this predator is free again. This isn't something she'll ever get over and I hope she's safe and loved.

That's not "Snark". It's a legitimate question to the government from an opposition leader. You want solutions to this? It's easy: stop the insane US from using our bases. There is no requirement for cross-party consensus on this. There is a requirement for accountability. Always.
In my view, his primary objective is maintaining wealth: this gives him the power, protection and status he craves. I believe he's sociopathic and all his actions/crimes are likely linked to this, but his only objective is to not lose control of that money. Without it, he's nobody and he knows it.
They can call it zingy fruit jam for all I care! We can still refer to it as marmalade if we want. I'd rather we realigned with our closest neighbours and trading partners to get costs down. If brexiteer idiots don't like it, they can pay higher prices and buy bespoke sh*t with flags on. Muppets!
Grimes? He's just a wafty crank.
The picture of the tit on his left side looks completely disgusting and abnormal! The picture of his boobsuit is fine though.
After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Gettyβs systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. π
I cannot wait to visit! Oregon is #1 on my bucket list. The US just needs to sort it's government out so I can come back before my sands run. I'm not visiting again until they're all gone even if I have to skip it this time around. Beautiful country.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrieβs classic protest song βAll You Fascists Bound to Lose,β updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms.
You have to listen to this.
And you don't pay a lot for health care, taxes and energy in the US? The slightly higher taxes in Europe provide great services and medical. In the US you're going to pay a lot if you get sick, have an accident or even have a child. Research it yourself and decide what system's best. Be objective.
