When did Parliament authorise Britain to launch illegal military strikes on Syria? Has that country not had enough bombs? Are we actively trying to force the new President into the arms of Putin? Was it co-incidence this happened on the day Trump hit Venezuela?

🤔While we're on the subject of Elon Musk, let's not forget his business genius.
Apparently "it's increasingly hard to claim that DOGE made any sizable dent in federal spending, which was its primary goal."
"The bottom line is that government spending increased under DOGE..."
Such integrity!
