I've had a little fact check and it seems to be true.
It used to take 5 to 6 months to train to be an ICE agent.
Now it takes 47 days - because Trump is the 47th president.
That's the reason.
Armed officers with extraordinary power.
FORTY SEVEN days of training to satiate the ego of a buffoon.

“It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald tRump's the 47th president.”—Senator Mark Warner.

We’re in an era of back-yardism. Trump’s takeover of Venezuela & maybe Greenland means he can’t logically object to Putin’s desire to take back Ukraine in Russia’s back-yard, or Xi grabbing Taiwan. The US, once the world’s moral super-power, shrinks to policeman for the Americas.

To add to the madness of it all, the attack on Venezuela is clearly, above all, an oil grab. But we scarcely need oil any more.

And, because I know money is tight after Christmas, I want you not to worry if you have no accessories. Just go for a cream sweatercoat and grab a nearby live hen.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The man who ran on a platform of "America First" and promised no involvement in foreign wars is now launching wars of choice in Nigeria, Venezuela, Syria, and Lebanon.
Meanwhile, he is verbally attacking our oldest and closest allies.

“In the past year, the largest donors to global health have reduced their spending by nearly 27%, and the report estimates that if such reductions continue or even expand to 30%, an additional 16 million more children (or more) will die of preventable causes by 2045.”
"For the first time in 25 years, child mortality rates for preventable diseases are projected to increase, after having declined for 25 years."

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.
He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.
What a betrayal of American values!

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.
