If a serial liar told you an unlikely tale, you’d believe him, right?

The pastor invoked God to protect US troops and give the president wisdom.

Too late on both counts.

It’s not a limited operation, Speaker Johnson.

It’s a Special Operation.

Ask Putin.

Ill-will towards others and civic laziness.

But the key period is the 80s and 90s, before the investigation of Epstein began and Trump dropped him. During that time the two were close friends on the NY β€˜party’ scene. That, I guess, is when the worst evil took place.

And so it will remain β€˜under investigation’. Just as half of the Epstein files remain β€˜under review’.

Some because they’re unhappy with them, others like you because their time is up.

Though less of a national security threat than the Department of War.

Presumably it’s a Special Operation.

Shame you didn’t finish the 10th. The sketches show you still had it in you.

You can assume whatever you like. I’m not going to waste my time arguing with someone whose judgment starts from false premises.

Both assumptions correct.

Maybe you are not the best judge of the value of your content.

So what?

You seem to have a fixation. Is there, by any chance, a people you really hate?

Get help.

When you feel you have to repost tripe like this, you shouldn’t be surprised at the meagre response.

Such a shame to lose one of my pet hates. Along with

Miller
Hegseth
Lutnick
Vance

The list goes on. Who will be left to hate when the daddy of them all goes and takes them all with him?

Not fired, but promoted to a MOST IMPORTANT job, to be announced in the middle of a quiet weekend.

I judge people on their merits rather than their age. While I agree that some of today’s political leaders are past their sell-by date, they always were.

As it happens, Starmer is far from keen on war.

83 year old Brit wants no more ageism.

CNN reporting Iranian missile hits US base in Qatar.

Also, CIA is promoting Kurdish uprising against regime.

Seems like Department of War’s planning is less than competent. About as good as the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

… back to Monaco, to join the other international colonisers of the tax-free haven.

Empathy? What’s empathy when you’re showing how tough a guy you are, fighting a war without rules of engagement?

β€œI’m only joking…”

Does this guy have no sense of when humour is appropriate?

(Don’t bother to answer.)

I take it he meant they’re both about oil.

I’m none the wiser. I guess that was Pete’s intention.

Better be quick - migration to the UK is getting harder.

Under eggs or with butter and jam?

No, the legal situation has genuinely changed. Our and our allies’ bases have been attacked. And the operations must be defensive, not offensive.
