garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Staged requires a level of competence not evident in this administration and anyway the 'Pro-Trump' sentiments of the would be assassin would quickly come to light - as it did when Charlie Kirk's killer was revealed to be a far right activist. 300
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 26/04/2026It's clear that, at all levels of the administration including the lowliest suit who is there to catch a bullet for POTUS loyalty is being valued over even basic competence Any and every vote for a Republican in November validates that worldview and makes the government less competent at all levels 000

garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 28/02/2026A reminder about the players in this game. The Christian Nationalists in Trump's regime are predominantly Christian Zionists. Christian Zionists believe that if they provoke a nuclear war with Iran on Monday God will spirit them up to heaven before the bombs land on all of us 'sinners'. 2226
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 27/02/2026For context the US spends twice as much as the UK as a percentage of it's GDP on healthcare. If you are sick - not critically injured or dying, just sick - in the UK can go to a doctor or a walk in centre and receive healthcare, free at the point of use. Most of the civilised world is the same 010

garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 22/02/2026That it's an evaluative or subjective claim, which of course means it sits outside the realm of empirical verification. Or if you prefer the source is me. 000
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 22/02/2026The good thing about the Democrats is that not all of them solely represent only those Americans whose patriotism ends where their tax bill begins.

garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 20/02/2026When Trump threatened to halt trade with Canada it was a step to far for the centi-billionaires who own America.

garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 20/02/2026They are not precisely defined - few things in law ever are - the decision was lambasted partly because it left SCOTUS the power to decide on a whim (or a bribe) what was and was not an 'official act' or sufficiently adjacent to an official act to confer immunity 010
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Yes - but you surely don't expect the GOP to take responsibility when their 'freedom' agenda kills Americans who aren't billionaires 080
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 20/02/2026A point being missed that shouldn't be. The Royal Pardon exists and like the Presidential Pardon it can be given pre-emptively so King Charles absolutely had the power to stop this in its tracks, and unlike Donald Trump he face no threat of removal if he did so. King Charles chose the rule of law 000
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 14/02/2026What we have to remember is that 75% of those detained are American citizens and people who are in the country entirely legally who are kept in these conditions whilst being deprived of their constitutional rights. 010
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 14/02/2026There's no 'likely' about it. Habeas corpus is so explicitly a part of American law that it had to be suspended by an act of congress during the American Civil War.

garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 30/01/2026No - and the same applies to any device like a laptop, your cellphone etc. When you deep cycle a battery regularly crystals build up. Keeping things simple those crystals make the battery discharge more quickly. It's better to recharge regularly and only deep cycle when you absolutely have to. 000
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 30/01/2026This is something that can happen when you 'deep cycle' a battery - letting it discharge to below about 25-30% and then fully charging. Statistically speaking petrol or diesel cars are much more likely to catch fire - about 50 times more likely. Hybrids are most likely to catch fire obviously 110
garyoldham.bsky.social @garyoldham.bsky.social · 30/01/2026That makes sense.

Additional Protocol I, Article 11(4): Defines "any wilful act or omission which seriously endangers" the physical or mental health of a person in the power of the enemy as a "grave breach," which is a war crime.
