How the pair of them can keep a straight face is amazing…………

Quite remarkable that America and POTUS welcome the two leaders accused by the ICC of committing war crimes.

I would have thought that the Russian military would be kind of interested in drones that could get that close to the bosses house - perhaps even collecting a few of them to have a look at.

Putin looks dumb for trying this one on - but given that the only person he needed to believe it is even dumber maybe it's not so stupid.

Zelensky played the meeting exactly right and Putin and Trumps reactions illustrate that perfectly. As was pointed out about the first White House bullying of Zelensky the whole world now knows that Putin is entirely focussed on continuing the war, using Trump as his dupe. Zelensky will continue to show up these lads for what they are.

A bit more than that, according to BBC

A winding money trail

Sex, drugs, and a passport application

Accusations of obstruction

No wonder he chose not to return to Congress. He knew what he did

Don't forget he was nominated for Attorney General!

Yet another disgraceful decision. Removing plaques commemorating Black US soldiers of WW2 from a military cemetery in the Netherlands. Many complaints at this decision on the visitors book. 1 million Black soldiers served in the US military in WW2. Dutch officials also angry.

How to say you have zero clue about how Irish politics works without actually saying the words.

2009 just after the crash, I had already left the country for work, but my mother got a job doing market research with MRBI or one of them, driving around the parish asking people which adverts they liked and who will win the All Ireland, and slipped in there was "Who will you vote for in the next election?". Despite about 90% of the people she'd talked to openly admitting, even agreeing that FF had caused the problems, the answer to that last question in 99.9% of cases was "Sure, we always vote FF in elections".

Considering the modern Sinn Fein party(Post Civil War split) has been around for 100 years and never been in power, maybe Bannon's new party can expect to be in power sometime in the 26th Century?

Smaller, newer parties than SF have gone into Government and had a say in policy:

Clann na Poblachta (with Sean MacBride and Dr Noel Browne)

Progressive Democrats

I don't think they'll manage that, differing health/life prospects.

No chance Taiwan is surrounded by China in war games "i know Xi he's a great guy" pending invasion ahead next year probably in conjuction with another move by Russia who just false flagged an attack on putin oh less forget a question about Iran something is going on there yeah there currency has just crashed, this demented dumbass doesn't talk or listen to intel because he's busy chasing money for his crime family, being cult lead in america as it sleep walks.

All while standing with Israel's warmongering leader who also should be in jail LOL how is this real and one1 asked why are you both not in jail?

Happy new year to all

U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands Joe Popolo seemed to support the removal of the displays. “The signs at Margraten are not intended to promote an agenda that criticizes America,” he wrote on social media following a visit to the cemetery after the controversy had erupted.

What the fuck is that supposed to even mean?

Below is an example of the type of plaque that's being removed.
