Donald Trump, Mob Boss in Chief.

"That's a nice little law firm you've got there. It'd be a shame if anything should happen to it."

Paul Nowak, "President Trump has shown himself to be an unreliable partner, regardless of what agreement you strike"

"It's also about resetting our relationship with our largest trading partner which is the European Union"

"The Conservative's Brexit deal has cost us 4-5% of GDP"

A photo of a Twitter post written in a black box. The text states It’sthegarbagequeen Good news to kick off your week - a jury has ordered Chevron to pay over $700 million for destroying coastal wetlands in Louisiana - the world record for most powerful wind turbine has been broken for the second time in less than a year - Finland is on track to completely phase out coal power four years ahead of schedule. - oil demand in China is starting to decline for the first time ever.

Just going to break up the timeline with some actual good news.
Fear not, normal service will be resumed in 3…..2…..1….

This is what is now happening across Europe, courtesy of Trump: Everyone is gravitating towards each other and, in particular, towards the EU.

I hope Starmer gets with the programme.

Good morning Looks as though it will be a damp day Looking at the list of those elevated to Peerages and other honours! We really are in a replay of the days of the fall of the Roman Empire. Looking at those in the Trump admin: the rise of Reform. Some days it is good to be old but for those young 😢

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Extract… But François Savary, founder of Geneva-based Genvil Wealth Management and Consulting, said that the Trump administration and its tariffs "have changed the situation". "You are no longer freely trading with the world's largest economy," Savary noted. "Those saying the EU is not the solution may have to defend that position a little harder now.”

Would be good if we could ask our Brexiters to defend their position a little harder now… well, quite a lot harder actually…

This is so awful to witness, I just wish more Americans were paying attention.

Restoring trust and credibility to the United States will require not just pushing Trump out of power but putting him and all his cronies in prison.

Demand the government reinstate Great British Railway’s public interest duty - respond to the consultation | We Own It The government's plans to scrap our rail's duty to be accessible and environmentally responsible must be stopped.

Labour is nationalising rail operations, BUT the trains themselves are still privately owned. Train-owning firms took 3.6 billion pounds in dividends this last decade. Take 1-min to tell the govt to stop the gravy train. @we_ownit tinyurl.com/railway-for-pe…weownit.org.uk/act-now/grea...on

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"

"That theory has been debunked"

"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

When people ask "Why haven't we cured cancer", you should remind them that kids vaccinated against HPV basically just don't get cervical cancer. At all.

OMFG could not stop laughing

👏

PM: I'll only sign US tariffs deal if it suits UK The UK hopes to limit the impact of President Trump's tariffs in an economic agreement with the US.

Starmer: I'll only sign US tariffs deal if it suits UK.

It will be a terrible deal. NHS will vanish. Expensive branded drugs instead of generic drugs. Hormone injected beef, chlorinated chicken, becoming the 51st state.

Far better to join the EU.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

Just downloaded the Buy European app. It uses your camera to tell you who makes what when shopping.

Shopping’s just got a whole load longer process.

But it’ll be interesting

From the first second of his Presidency, Donald Trump has surrounded himself with billionaires.

They are his one and only priority. And the fundamental distinction between Donald Trump and Democrats.

He is for them.

We are for you.

The right of assembly has been long fought in Britain. This incident reminds me of the suppression of democratic societies in the 1790s.

Indoor private political meetings have a different history from the policing of outdoor gatherings... 1/n

"But natural regeneration is too slow, nature needs us to plant trees to speed things up."

A total myth: very often, natregen is way faster. Either way, the result is FAR superior ecologically. How?

It's doing what trees have done since they first evolved, aeons before we came along. 🌍

A remarkable statement in a judgment against US government.

Rare to see a government defence described in such stark terms by a judge.

This is judicial comment turned up to 11, so to speak.

We're heading down a very dark path when the police can arrest you for just discussing things that are important.

Our response to the U.S. tariffs is to fight, protect, and to build. That means building the infrastructure to help diversify our trade partners, create good jobs, and grow our economy.

Tulsi Gabbard, again, states she has removed Hillary Clinton’s security clearance.

August 30, 2018.
Hillary Clinton asked for her security clearance be removed.
This was nearly 7 years ago.
It was removed by the State Department as per her request.
Chuck Grassley released the letter.
