If TS posts are Trump it follows that the racist offensive Obama post WAS Trump.
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover

LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

Why have I only just discovered this weather app. Installed it yesterday and its forecasting has been very good. No, I'm not paying for the advanced forecasting at nearly €10/month so will just get short term forecast. It's Credit Agricole, forecasting for farmers.

A lot of the problematic discourse about pensions stems from imagining that they are like special food you can bury and then just eat when you stop working and get old. Pensions are not this, they are claims on the labour of people still working when you decide to quit.

Carney's incredible secret sauce seems to be - say what the problem is, whose fault it is, what you will have to do about it and what it will cost.
Keep reading articles about how impossible it is to be a successful centre/left PM these days. And then I look at Mark Carney...

Cunt. Get the shitweasel out of the continent of Europe and back over the Atlantic. Refuse him entry in the future.
Rubio also snubbed France. He listed a series of European cultural icons but no French ones. He mentioned several nations which fought wars alongside the US – but omitted France. One oversight might be a mistake; two was surely an insult ENDS

Gabrielle cannot enter Australia on her British passport. This endless whining entitlement is pathetic.
One can make the case for requiring either a UK passport or some further documentation for dual British nationals to enter the country (this is true for eg the US). But making this change rapidly and getting a certificate so expensive is yet another Home Office cockup. Why always so draconian?
Gabrielle was all set for a routine trip from Australia to the UK. Then the rules for dual citizens suddenly changed
From 25 February all dual citizens visiting the UK must use their British passport, leaving many scrambling to get their documents in order
