How stupid is Amazon?
They just gave me a free 30-day Prime taster. I logged in to the Prime app and decided to try the Reacher series. Clicked the first episode and was immediately presented with an advert.
Within 10 seconds, I’d exited Prime and will not go back.
Cancelled.

These are not pardons to correct an injustice, they are creating injustice.
These pardons explicitly support insurrection against the Constitution and people of America.

Both sides are murdering, war criminal scum.
Oh look, bibi is “caught” bragging to the media about blowing up busses full of children. Again. This happens so often it’s almost as if he wants you to know that nobody will stop him.

This reminds me of an SDP bigwig in the 1980s who didn’t believe the opinion polls and wanted to reword the Q: “Which party do you *really* intend to vote for?”

Boycott CheckaTrade.
We don’t need a right-wing funding gimp company in the UK.

Glad I did as I certainly won't be using Checkatrade ever again

In my entire life, I've never seen any President actively ask the Supreme Court to intervene so that they don't have to feed hungry people.

It's truly obscene, I don't care what party or religion you belong to.

It's foul and inexcusable.

Never ceases to amaze me how intellectually selective religious people can be.
News showed victims of the recent hurricane saying they spent all night praying for it to end. They lost everything before their prayers were answered.
Ignoring the logic that god caused the hurricane before ending it.

In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.

What is this 'good' it supposedly does?

You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
