Hopefully it's just a coincidence that 'Newark' is an anagram of 'Wanker'.

"The term "fake ceasefire" has followed Trump from other theatres of war. Trump has repeatedly claimed that Iran had requested a ceasefire or that terms were being finalized. Iranian officials called Trump's statements lies designed to manipulate global oil markets". And so it goes.

On this day: 1781 saw the hanging at Saint Michael’s Hill in Bristol of Benjamin Loveday and John Burke — "for the detestable Crime of Sodomy; they were both capitally convicted on the clearest Evidence, which is shocking to Human Nature to describe".

To all concerned antique collectors: That is not Custer's flag. (Culbertson's Guidon). The original belongs to an unknown private collector who bought it for $2 million in 2010. That is merely a ceremonial replica.

It's Sunday my good dude! Time to manipulate the oil markets and put out a smokescreen to hide his crimes as a rapist, war criminal and a pedophile.

He's trying to manipulate the markets my friend. That and a smoke screen for his paedophile crimes.

I can't even imagine why he's burned all his alliances for what? Less fucking diesel than the US uses in one day. Incidentally they export about the same amount as they burn in their stupid trucks every day.

He would do well to remember that Von Ribbentrop was the first to be executed at Nuremberg. (By an American hangman who had absolutely no clue what he was doing which made it *cough* rather nasty).

As a former soldier who served alongside American troops back in the day, I can tell you that I would not trust US army personnel to successfully complete an execution using firearms.
