You make tea with them? You know they are toxic right? They are the source of the drug digitalis which alters cardiac function.

And don't let your wife feed them to the kids' guinea pigs, unless you are tired of having to clean out their hutch. The latin name for foxglove is digitalis, as in the drug used to slow the heart rate.

Zips are far too complicated a mechanism for Reform candidates to figure out.

Presumably somebody is paying graphics designers to create this shite. If they're being paid using government funding then that would be a misuse of public money.

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of tie knots those are shit, loosely tied single Windsor knots. Somebody should teach them how to tie a proper double Windsor.

The arrogance of these people is off the scale. A politician of very limited intelligence overruling scientists and medical professionals on such a critical protocol is staggering.

One of the main arguments trotted out to justify privatisation is that competition drives efficiency - which may be true in some cases (he says, doubtfully!), but there is no competition in monopolies. Look at the shit show (literally) in the UK that is the result of water company privatisation.

Just think, if you knew in advance what he was going to do that would have been a great opportunity for making a fortune by selling stock when the price was high and then buying back when it briefly tanked. It's a good job that Trump's inner circle are above reproach. Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

He's proved there are no consequences for anything he does. A convicted felon and sexual predator and he still gets to be President!

Agreed George. It's not just Mango Mussolini and his cronies that concern me it's the exposure of the disdain that millions of Americans for us in Europe (and Canada/Australia etc.) that is obviously deeply embedded in elements of the US culture and that will remain long after Trump has gone.

When will everyone acknowledge that people like Trump and Musk don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves? That's what characterises narcissistic sociopaths.

Nice post. I just can't get my head around how people still can't understand that tariffs aren't paid by the countries that Trump is targeting but are a US tax paid by the importer. How do they think their version works in practice? The exporter puts an envelope of cash in with the consignment?

The obvious scenario is that Waltz had Goldberg's contact details on his phone and accidentally selected him when setting up the group. The question then is why did Waltz have Goldberg's contact on his phone? I'm not saying he has definitely been leaking information to the press, but ...

What I find most disturbing about this incident is the fact that the US Border officials were so diligent in enforcing Trump's new directives. They could easily have ignored the comments on his phone. They obviously agree with all of the shit that the Mango Mussolini is introducing. Best stay away.

Be careful - if Trumpo sees this he'll want to annex Mauritius and turn it into the next Las Vegas.

Well I suppose they will be easy to identify as they all wear red baseball caps with the caption 'Make America Great Again'.
