I was a finalist in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition 2024. I can now reveal the image I entered. It is an iPhone selfie taken in Cromford, Derbyshire.
The dancing is disgusting, says the “they let you grab them by the pussy” guy who’s mentioned repeatedly in the Epstein files.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

FOX REPORTER: “What do you have to say about the ICE agent being attacked by a domestic terrorist puppy?”
KRISTI NOEM: “I’d’ve shot the dog.”
KRISTI NOEM: “I’d’ve shot the dog.”
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

Driverless cars, hey? Since the dawn of motoring it has always been possible, for a fee, to be taken somewhere in a car without having to drive it.
The technology is called “taxi cabs”.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

It’s fair to say that when judges do this sort of thing, you are not in a constitutionally or legally normal place.
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

And Truss will be at the Cenotaph on Armistice Day — and similar events — for the rest of her days. Crackers.
The fact that this individual is allowed to remain a member of the Conservative Party while going around saying dangerous and frankly bonkers stuff like this is one indication of how far it has to travel before being ready to resume power.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Mascara-man Vance bloviates that Europe no longer allows free speech. Meanwhile, here are US journalists in the US prevented from filming by masked goons.
We’re just not a free country.
Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
