You forgot to give him full credit mon ami, you would be more accurate to describe him as the billionaire Illinois Governer JB Pritzker. He's like you mon ami a champagne socialist, never found one you could trust yet.

Wake up and smell the coffee...

"Donald Trump's authoritarian rampage and orgy of corruption is like nothing we've ever seen before.

It's everything we feared, but worse. Yet every day, the corporate media treats it like a mild passing rain shower rather than the Category 5 hurricane that it is.

Trump has personally raked in over $3 billion since taking office, and the corporate media acts like it's business as usual.

He's openly laying the groundwork to invoke the Insurrection Act and impose martial law, and The New York Times treats it like a reasonable response to "out of control" urban crime."

He issued NSPM-7, an order directing the FBI to investigate grassroots activism as "domestic terrorism," and there's been virtually zero coverage whatsoever of the threat it poses.

You know why Trump wants the National Guard in and 'martial law' mon ami. According to the billionaire Governer Pritzker, it's because he intends to confiscate all the ballot boxes so he can rig the next election. Like I said, mad as a box of frogs you Lefties. TDS strikes again, it really has tipped the Dems over the edge.

No doubt following the Trump family's restoration, you can live on the estate, it’s categorizable as one of the world’s best homes – comprising a 20,000-square-foot ballroom (with $7 million gold leaf features) and Spanish revival-style arches and mosaics throughout the residence. It’s also the site of an exclusive private club, attracting the social elite from Clitheroe and across the globe.

If it wasn't for the regular hurricanes, we'd probably be living in Florida right now. That's the only reason we didn't move there years ago.

I would say there are hundreds of them, possibly even thousands.

Only need one mon ami. Fingers crossed eh?

I'm not wasting my time sinkov, just illustrating what a racist endeavour we now live in.

One of your tribe Sarah Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, said on Saturday: ?It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people?, during an appearance on TalkTV as she responded to a viewer who complained about the demographics of advertising. She said the viewer was ?absolutely right? and added: ?It doesn?t reflect our society? and ?your average white person, average white family is ? not represented any more?.

Sarah is the obvious candidate to deserve my new weekly "Racist of the Week" award.

Just logged on to our Lloyds Bank home page, there's a photo of eleven people who appear to be partying, all eleven are black, there's not a white face in sight. I'm completely bemused, it's a long established British Bank, a household name, why on earth would they choose to show eleven black people having a party ? I'd love to know the thought process involved in deciding to show this, it's bizarre.

Truthfully mon ami I could not care less what colour Lloyds Bank customers are, I'm much more concerned with how the Master of Peace's Peace Plan has gone totally tits up in less than a fortnight and Netanyahu continues to wage war on the civilian population of Gaza...

You would probably hop on the first plane back mon ami...

“There is no literature or poetry in this White House. No music. No Kennedy Center award celebrations.
There are no pets in this White House.
No loyal man’s best friend. No Socks the family cat.
No kids’ science fairs. No times when this president takes off his blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt-khaki pants uniform and hides from Americans to play golf.
There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation.
No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments, or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape.
I was thinking the other day of the summer when George H couldn’t catch a fish and all the grandkids made signs and counted the fish-less days.
And somehow, even if you didn’t even like GHB, you got caught up in the joy of a family that loved each other and had fun.
Where did that country go?
Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go?
We used to be a country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions for charity.
We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation instead dividing it.
And a First Lady that planted a garden instead of ripping one out.
We are rudderless and joyless.
We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great.
We have lost our mojo, our fun, our happiness.
The cheering on of others. Gone.
The shared experiences of humanity that makes it all worth it. Gone.
The challenges AND the triumphs that we shared and celebrated.
The unique can-do spirit Americans have always been known for. Gone.
We have lost so much in so short a time."
