Annie Andrews: "I do not support the war in Iran…My opponent is the only one on this stage who had the opportunity to vote to end the war, but three times in a row she voted to continue it…Why would we hand Darline Graham a full term in the U.S. Senate? She is unserious and she is unqualified."
These points have been made by several outlets. I’m worried about the mid term elections. Should you be too?
I mean her party is polling on average 18% in the polls. She's 'set' for a general election at Xmas in the same way I'm set for winning a grand slam tennis tournament next week

French students and adults are rioting in the streets over the state of schools in France. The US has a leader who is inviting its enemies to bomb US cities. Public execution is back on the menu. ICE agents are killing people with impunity. The US public response. Let’s create a meme.
Every time I think the US has hit rock bottom they find a way to dig the hole they are in even deeper. They are now in medieval territory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Fort Hood attacker's execution by firing squad will be livestreamed, Pentagon says

There are people in the Tory conference audience who are under 60. Some look in there 20’s. What the actual fuck.
Is it just me or does the lady on politics live need sub titles. I can barely understand a word.
Don't forget the enablers allowing this to continue. It could be over in a heartbeat. He's the symptom, not the cause. May they all end up permanently wearing orange clothing, since they seem to worship that color.

So save her life just so the state can kill her "the right way." The death penalty is abhorrent.
Adrian Littlejohn@yorksfella59.bsky.social · last wk.Christa Pike is in a "critical condition, receiving life-saving care". Seems it was decided, not that "she must die" but rather "she must only die in a formal, state - sponsored ritual, to make us all feel better"? Strikes me as bizarre and perverse, to say the least. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
There is no world where a civilized country's government should be doing this. Abolish the death penalty.

I would choose to live in America about as much as I would choose to live in Afghanistan, Russia or North Korea. A shit hole. With around 30% of citizens being either brain dead or absolute cunts.
I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

"There is no longer a public domain." I see this every time my Fox-viewing mother and I discuss current events. People (especially those in charge) are quick to call "fake news" on anything they don't agree with. And so many people get their news from memes because facts are paywalled.
