Surely, at some point, someone is going to start fightng back.

There are enough weapons in the US civilian population to start a war … even if it’s only the gangs watching their members picked off the street, or a veteran at the end of his tether, this is going to escalate, isnt it?

On the 1st October my wife was taken to hospital.

On the 4th October her bowel was removed.

Yesterday, she was told she could come home.

Today she is still there because of a complication.

This evening the other lady in my life passed a way aged 18.

Farage is potentially a Russian asset
Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

How long before the people take up arms against this?

In a country with virtually unlimited access to firearms surely it is going to happen eventually.
Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out.

They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

But I think it is important to acknowledge that the ideology of Trump2.0 is fascism and the 'fit' here is remarkable.

It is, as it were, 'early stage' fascism - the camps aren't death camps (yet), the masked goons aren't terrorizing citizens (yet), but that's where it will go if not challenged.

I am so stressed right now.

We are about to undertake a journey, for a holiday we’ve had planned for months, but my wife is really in no fit state to do it.

She won’t stay at home because we risk losing the cost of the trip, but what cost will it take on her?

I hope it’s worth it.

It's no surprise that Nigel Farage hardly ever bothers to visit Clacton or turn up at Parliament. When he was an MEP, his attendance record was 748th out of 751. He's a workshy grifting gobshite.

I rejected several candidates when they were caught in a similar lie.

If you lie on your CV, what else are you/will you lie about?

Don’t do it.

All Reform did today was sound a massive dog whistle to morons. Exactly like he did with Brexit, Nigel Farage is promising things that make racist numbskulls come in their pants, but which are total fantasy and completely undeliverable.
