LOL

I think they meant: Strait up milking the market.

There needs to be major investigations of this.
And all of their accounts need freezing whilst the investigations happen.

We must also consider the possibility that Iran is on the short end of this pump and dump machine

Another conspiracy theorist loon standing for Reform. It's rapidly turning into the political equivalent of the Flat Earth Society.

In the hrs since outlets pushed alerts saying the Hormuz Strait is open, we’ve learned:

Critical evidence «disappeared» after Tesla accident

New revelations creating headache for police in Bergen (& SVV)

While fresh video footage shows the brake lights were on during the dramatic journey, a key computer component has disappeared without a trace from the accident car:

ALERT: Scott MacFarlane reveals new court filings showing Trump may receive a taxpayer-funded payout from his IRS lawsuit — while the DOJ also moves to return taxpayer money to pardoned January 6 defendants.

Your tax dollars could be going directly to Trump and those involved in the Capitol attack.

Government advisory group urges delay of NDIS 'robo' changes The federal government has been urged by its own NDIS advisory group to delay the rollout of a controversial new way of determining support plans for participants.

Instead of submitting evidence of their disability from doctors, participants will be interviewed by an assessor, who then feeds their findings into a computer program.

That algorithm will then spit out a budget to be approved or rejected by an NDIS employee www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Israel's right-wing activists are not happy that the world is turning against the country. Their fightback isn't pretty. The rhetoric that helped enable the Holocaust is increasingly being used by Republican congressmen against Muslims. The stronger the criticism of Israel becomes, the more dangerous their language.

Angus Taylor’s grotesque bigotry in his new immigration policy is a parallel to the founding of an “Anti Sharia Caucus” 🙄 in the USA. lucyham29.substack.com/p/israels-ri...

Goooo Minnesota

Trump has gone after MAGA influencers, the Pope, as well as the leadership of Italy, Spain and the UK.

Yet he was oddly quiet about Melania’s Epstein remarks and played dumb when Bibi sabotaged the peace talks.

He knows they, like Putin, belong to a small group that could sink him forever.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.

The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.

The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.

It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

that we continue to give power to morally unwell and monstrous politicians is a bigger one

that we continue to give power to visibly unwell and elderly politicians is a problem

Did he really call it the "Gulf Of Mexico" ????

The only president or major party candidate in half a century not to disclose his tax returns—who fought for years, at taxpayer expense, to keep them private, and lost—now wants the IRS to MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS NET WORTH at taxpayer expense as a part of the systematic pillaging he calls a presidency.

Can you guess where on this graph the disabled are generally forced to exist?

Oh I don't doubt you were right... He was probably supposed to say 2020 because it's such a bugaboo with the Trumpaloons, but his lizard-brain inserted "2022" because he's still bent out of shape about it.

These guys lie about everything so casually
