when i saw that, particulary on mobile, from that angle I thought it was hard to tell just how much of a disaster it was in terms of people involved as I could hardly make them out

then saw this,they lined up across every sail, mast, whatever you call them, and can see them flying off or hanging on

(it's saying it's broken but it's not, if you click through)

False flag created by trump to fan the flames with the spics

It seems a tad authoritarian for a libertarian.

100%.  Will be interesting to see how this plays out given the orange loony won’t be backing down (well, I say that but he has got recent form with tariffs has old “Taco”).

I think though this is the confrontation things have been building up to for the MAGA project. Autocracy vrs Democracy. Dictatorship vrs the rule of law. The constitution itself is on the line for the Americans (it’s just that 30% of them can’t see this).

Let’s hope Newsom can meet and beat Trumpy head on.  The Dems have been far too passive this last 10 years in the face of the obnoxious orange tosser. Stand up to him. 70% of Americans need to.

Maybe this is what that Jade Helm was all about.

What, ejecting illegal immigrants? Get used to it - it will become a worldwide trend.

The NYT one? I was surprised when I got it at the last attempt. Thought it was a derogatory slang term so wouldn't be included, but it has a different meaning in America apparently.

Yanks innit. Can't spell for toffee 

TAFFY??? 

Is either a derogatory term for Welsh or a fat yank asking for a chewy caramel sweety in a Noo Yak accent.

Its not the English way, its not Cricket, its our bat & our ball and we're not playing!!!.

It's no wonder you're so shit at Wordle if your first guess is Treat.

Why would you use a letter twice on the first attempt?

I expected better from you, I have to say.

I thought such an approach was obvious?
All the vowels plus Y & S should be in your first two guesses.

Au contrau , i like to go consonant heavy on the 1st guess feeling that the vowels are easier to guess.

I also try to avoid words ending in E

(Apart from today like)

It’s obvious to me, and you.

Elsewhere RFK continues his assault on the US healthcare system.  The man is a dangerous, ignorant lunatic. Thick as two short planks. Yesterday he sacked their independent expert advisory committee on vaccines as “they all had a conflict of interest” (which probably means they believe in science and data). No doubt he’ll load up now with fellow anti-vaxers.

Yet another US Secretary of State who’s completely unfit for office.
