Is that a 4,5 or 600% increase in respect Mr President?
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 55m agoPresident Trump, "The whole world was laughing at us, but they're not laughing any more" "We had a President (Biden) that nobody respected, everybody took advantage of him" "But America is respected again like we have never been respected before" "We've never been respected at this level before"
So what is a 100% fall in prices called Mr President?
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 48m agoPresident Trump, "Prescription drug prices are down 4, 5, 600%" Putting the dumb into Presi-dumb-ent
Not a good look Kemi, choosing a former NAZI as an advisor. Calls into question your judgement…..again!!

Message to Mr Rutte Give the man the tools to defend his people and do it now. Time is of the essence as innocent people are dying daily
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · 6h ago🇺🇦🚀 Zelensky: We are working as much as possible with all partners who can help with the supply of interceptor missiles. Spoke today with Mark Rutte about the whole situation. It is important to remove all the bureaucracy and make the necessary political decisions.
This is outrageous. Trump should pay these fees on behalf of EVERY ship passing through the Strait. He caused it and he must own it. Furthermore he must pay them from his own personal fortune. Nothing less will do
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 7h agoas noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
She believes in giving some people a second chance but not all people. Just Tories
Hazel@hackneyhaz.bsky.social · 15h agoKemi Badenoch on Today defending the neo-Nazi council candidate by saying that it is right to give those who have previously been radicalised a chance. Badenoch on Shamima Begum, whom was groomed by Islamic State when a child, "Citizenship is a privilege, she forfeited it." 🤔
That is precisely why it must go into the next Labour Party manifesto. “If you vote us into power we will open accession talks with the EU”
Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org · yesterdayYoung people did not have a say in the Brexit referendum but have to live with its dreadful consequences. Of course, they want to rejoin the EU.
Occasionally throughout history comes along a person who sets humanity back decades. He is one such individual. He is not a flawed genius he is just a flawed individual who got extremely lucky. The proof of my ascertain is in his tweets Standing on the shoulders of Pygmies not giants in his case
Prof John O Brennan@jobmaynooth.bsky.social · yesterdayElon Musk is all for free speech. Except when it comes to his dictatorial mates in Saudis Arabia and elsewhere. For them he will block every dissident account that displeases them. What a giant fraud the man is. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Putin is a war criminal and MUST be brought to justice
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · yesterday❗️Zelensky: Today, many were shocked by another video of the Russian drone safari against people in Kherson. The man was injured by the explosion. The world must see this. It must see every fact that Russia has gone mad, and every fact that the Russian military enjoys killing and mocking people.
Is this the same technology that, according to Zaluzhnyi today, NATO is 12 years behind Russia 😂
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · yesterday💀🪂 In Russia, the Airborne Forces Day went as it should, - Exilenova On August 2, a 41-year-old Airborne Forces veteran crashed at the Vatulino airfield in the Moscow region. The jump was made from a height of 600 meters, the main parachute did not open
Not sure Zaluzhnyi is right about this. Many of the components that goes into Ukraine’s drones are supplied by NATO countries particularly counter drone technology. If he is referring to modern military doctrine he may have a point although I suspect NATO military planners are not asleep!!
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · yesterday❗️NATO will need about 12 more years to reach at least half the level of military capabilities of the Russian Federation, Zaluzhnyi added. 2/2
??? But Trump says the US Navy is in control. I don’t get it. Surely Trump is not lying to the world…again

Music to President Xi’s ears. Taiwan better prepare!
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · yesterdayThe US has now used up 'virtually all' of its long-range precision missiles during the Iran war, Reuters World News reports.
There’s a lesson that people never seem to learn. Put a fool in charge and they will wreck the economy. We tried it with Truss & now people seem to think they can trust Farage with the economy.
Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org · yesterdayTrump’s tariffs, his war in Iran, and inflation: Donald Trump has wrecked the US economy. That has consequences. For the first time in nearly a decade, Americans now trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy.
Absolutely true. It was only the Channel that saved us. The 330,000 strong British Expeditionary Force would have surrendered. The Panzers would have been in London well before Paris These little englanders, like Pochin, haven’t a clue
Northern & proud 👊@gazlancs.bsky.social · 2d agoFrench forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
Tories and Tories alone are responsible for this mess. Never forget
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 2d agoThe state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.
Release the Epstein files
emptywheel@emptywheel.bsky.social · 2d agoThe entire point of demanding Pirro frame people for vandalism was to distract from the disastrous outcome of Trump's own corruption. And now Trump's pique with Pirro for not sustaining the frame job is distracting from the disastrous outcome of Trump's corruption. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
As he seems to follow the money how about starting up a crowdfunding account to raise enough to get him to leave politics for good
Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 2d agoIf Nigel Farage needed millions of £s to induce him to return to politics you have to wonder whether he has the will or desire to actually take on the responsibilities of Prime Minister
It was the pan-European far right that cast a giant shadow over last week’s events. It seems that many European Govt’s are living in fear of the far right parties in their respective countries. Why else did we get such a fragmented response?

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 3d agoDeeply embarassing for editorial standards at The Times to not just have to correct such an error, but then to not even spot their own columnist produce such a mad sentence repeating it
Hold on. Wasn’t Trump taking in a $Trillion a month in tariffs??
Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social · 4d agoThe US National Debt has now crossed $40 trillion dollars. That's an increase of nearly $4 trillion since Trump took office. Remember those campaign promises about cutting spending? Remember how DOGE gutted education, highways, health care, and other areas? So, where is all that money going?
That’s the problem with populists. They lurch from one headline to the next without considering that maybe, just maybe, they’ve said or done something in the past that will eventually expose them for the arse that they are
Steffen Lüdke@stluedke.bsky.social · 4d agoSo, just to be clear: In 2023, 7,000 migrants and refugees arrived in Lampedusa (Schengen) in a single day. Is Meloni's position that, if this were to happen again, all Italian citizens should lose access to the Schengen Area?
If true then Trump is a war criminal
Noah Barkin@noahbarkin.bsky.social · 4d agoA NYT investigation shows that the US dropped a 2,000 pound bomb, one of the largest in its arsenal, on a family home on Iran’s Qeshm Island overnight, killing a couple and their 2-year-old son. Two other children were pulled from the rubble alive #warriorethos www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/w...
Putin is a war criminal and MUST be brought to justice. Never forget the 200 women & children that he murdered at the Mariupol theatre or the Maternity hospital he bombed or the dam over the Dnipro river he blew causing an environmental catastrophe Never forget. Putin is a war criminal
The Ukrainian Review@theukrainianreview.bsky.social · 5d ago🕯️🇺🇦 Kyiv. At night, patrolman Yehor Terekhin, together with his partner, helped people at the scene of the shelling, but the enemy struck again at the same location. As a result of the wounds received, Yehor died. He is forever 22. He has a mother and 9-year-old brother.
