#SaveTheArts Theatre lover, film aficionado, try to sketch stuff occasionally, depressed at the prospect that the UK may never get PR voting & p*ssed off with Brexit. Got several cats.
With reference to Donald Trump's speech today at the UN General Assembly, citizens of the USA...what can any of the rest of us say?

You have a completely demented, deluded sociopath in charge.

I think he set new standards of lunacy today.

This is excellent. A young student politely debated Charlie Kirk and won - by dissecting his rhetoric and exposing his lack of truth and integrity.

His murder was appalling and inexcusable. But the Far Right claims need to be dismantled in the way that Tilly demonstrated.

What I love is either the intelligence community or Pentagon leaked the report. They must be mad as hell over a lying president that uses them as props

Well, the world is a pretty bleak place right now.

It's trivial, in the scheme of things, but today I had two new members of the household arrive.

For those that find it soothing, meet Pippin and Merry. (Brother and sister, blue-eyed orange tabbies).

So American tax payers are okay with this to kill innocent people of Gaza but not okay with giving Ukraine money to defend their people from a murderous dictator named Putin.

I think we have a definitive answer, given the last few days.

Yes.

Is Donald Trump a fascist?
The US presidential election is neck and neck. But only one candidate has been compared to Adolf Hitler. Is it an exaggeration or based in fact?

Trump: Putin wants peace, he would have told me if he didn't.
A few hours later: Russia attacks Chernobyl, damaging its radiation shield.
This is footage of a Russian drone hitting the protective shield at Chernobyl power plant. I don't know where to begin.

This is the only negotiation language that Putin speaks.
Talk, even threatening talk, will only benefit Russia by giving it time to further achieve its objectives against Ukraine and against NATO.

❗️🇩🇪 German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged the Bundestag to declare a state of emergency following the last 24 hours' events and U.S. statements regarding Ukraine. The emergency status would allow the government to take on more debt than the current limit permits.

Email to Keir Starmer this morning….

Dear Mr Starmer

YouGov says 60% of those who voted Labour last time would not do so again.
Polls also show increasing majority for rejoining the EU.
2+2=?

Kind regards

I'd argue that migrating white South Africans be either heavily limited on the total of, or alternatively heavily taxed on, assets expatriated from South Africa when leaving and thereafter. That wealth was usually obtained by exploiting blacks during apartheid and they shouldn't take it with them.
