Good golly, this is stretching passable deniability via ignorance to its utter breaking point!

I've no direct experience of the policing in the US... But if it's anything like fictional depiction, then that's 😱

What really twists my melon? You elect your sheriffs, rather than them being employed & promoted from within the force on merit.

& that your judges are all political appointes is 🤯

I don't think so - yet the idea of the US police force is WAYYYY far away from what "Policing by consent" actually is for most of the rest of the world.

Love it when my Paphs flower. that you got two blooms in a season is outstanding!

And that Epstein is itself a distraction from him destroying the USA with fascism...

Doubtful - Mr Corbyn was always Anti-EU.

Sadly.

Is there a story that's not behind a cookie-pay wall?

Also though, no shit Shirlock, that's been obvious for literally years...

And having looked it all up - what small petty minds people have :-(

Golly... I need to go look this up, don't it!

Seems rather farcical though
