Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief.

The DUI Secretary Of Defence (allegedly ) Hegseth and Russian asset (allegedly) Director of Intelligence Gabard "not discussing classified matters". Here is the full transcript as just published in the Atlantic.... nothing classified here folks, not paywalled www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Really? I know a whole bunch who will be and are. The US Government, not so much. Don’t forget Europe signed the Minsk accords too. Also, European NATO powers committed to a minimum of 2% spend on defence and have relied on the US nuclear shield ever since. We need a 5% spend and that will hurt.

Yes it is disturbing and sad and self inflicted. ICE are bastards, staffed in many cases by racists who are getting off in this behaviour.

Can she issue an order to impound the aircraft ?

Portugal cancelled a F35 order and Canada is going with Gripen.

@bsky.app I like this.

My partner used to live in the town next to where he was mayor. Occasionally she used to have breakfast in the same cafe as he was in. She said he was a good guy but we are very disappointed in his actions / inactions. He’s been captured by the system I think.

And no damage, none is the way to go. Economic impact without criminal liability is the point.

How lovely a place to live. My other passion, actually my real passion, bikes are secondary, is aviation. Unlike many people, living in a place with many aircraft and gorgeous scenery seems idyllic. Most would want to ditch the planes I think.

He is my senator. So far he has paid a lot of attention to supporting Israel but surprisingly little to those he was elected to represent.

If only I chewed gum. I could be convinced to buy a Tesla if the moon turned blue and dinosaurs roam the Earth again. Consequently, I think it’s quite unlikely.

He is a waste of space

So where in Scotland are you? I nearly ended up going to university in Edinburgh however I managed to screw up my A-level so badly that I had no chance. I live just outside of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. We are in a quite rather smug little middle class enclave. Sometimes it makes me want to puke.

It is instructive that you remember that all the amendments apply to everyone. That includes the ones that the right have always complained about, 1st, 2nd etc.

Waste their time, take a test ride, tell them the cars smell of burning flesh and poverty

Take a test ride , waste their time

What about having test ride palooza. If people go there and have test rides and then say “I’ll think about it” :)

Well I’m not that tall. The Tiger is nice because I can flat foot it. What got you into bikes ? My mother was a Scot and she used to ride an old ex US army HD around Edinburgh after the war. She encouraged me about bikes and also funded my early flying lessons.

They sound amazing

What have you done ?

Red Triumph Tiger 850 Sports

Red Royal Enfield Continental GT

Black Royal Enfield Himalayan

This is the current lot. My favourite is the red Royal Enfield.

I loathe him too. I came here in 2000 from London and have been here ever since. I became a citizen but if it gets a lot worse I may flee to Ireland. I could not do the UK.

London doesn’t waste any time 🤣💀

What sort of bike was it that you helped out ?

Yes

I have a couple of friends with those. How long have you had a bike for and where are you ? I see the distressed US flag but you say you are European. There used to be a woman in our club of similar height who had a 900 Ducati but with a very low seat and some weird boots.

Ha ha. Now I am verging on being ancient with a buggered back so
I have a device which allows me to winch my bike back up single handed.
