Now axiomatic that if you cross Desperate Demented Despot Don you’ll be indicted.
Jerome Powell the latest to suffer Trump(ed)-up charges.

The internet shopping revolution seems to have left poor Kemi behind.
She should get out more, (or she could stay at home and shop from a laptop like the rest of the nation 🥴)!

Twerp Shadow transport secretary Richard Holden said: "A map won't stop tyres blowing or suspensions snapping. Motorists, already being squeezed tight by Labour, deserve real action to back them” when highway maintenance has been cut back for more than two decades.

I’d concur with that. The state of Suffolk roads is extremely poor.
The County Council has the statutory responsibility for highways maintenance but the works are outsourced. Serious underperformance all round.

Of course Desperate Demented Despot Don doesn’t need to ‘own’ Greenland. The US already has a huge base there.
The Danes would probably amicably agree some expansion.
As for the Chinese taking possession!

When you are playing a team 56 places below you in the FA Cup and are 4-0 at half-time and cruising, with 70+% of the play, is it really necessary to inflict such utter humiliation on your opponents?
No doubt the sports-washing Qatari State Football Entity will be thrilled.

So Desperate Demented Despot Don has said his administration would decide which oil firms would be allowed to operate in Venezuela. Would this require a pecuniary consideration to the family?

Given that all ICE operatives wear face-masks/goggles and uniforms with no identification insignia it’s surprising that the previously anonymous murdering goon has been identified so promptly.
