Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Ha ha. That's why I am in Goa. The Canaries is far to cold in the winter and early spring.

Temp round the pool 32c and on the beach a cool 28c with a slight wind, not a hurricane like you get in Fuerteventura

Brilliant place is this, cheap as chips. The food is amazing and the beer and vodka cranberies are flowing from dawn to dusk

Two golfing mates of mine shot off to Dubai for a fortnight of frolicking, they are still there wearing flak jackets and tin hats. Trumps a pfhucking star!

From a Yank on Facebook - Trump be damned…
Listen here you bone-spur, spray-tan mess of a commander-in-tweet.
You’re standing there in your red tie like a bloated jack-o-lantern telling oil tanker crews to “show some guts” and sail through the Strait of Hormuz like it’s some damn episode of The Apprentice.
Bitch, those are real human beings.
They’ve got families. Kids. Mortgages. Lives.
And you’re over there barking orders from a gold-plated toilet seat in air-conditioned comfort, acting like courage is something you can demand from other people while you’ve spent your whole life dodging it.
Let’s talk about guts.
You dodged the draft with “bone spurs.”
You’ve never been on a tanker.
Never stood watch in hostile waters.
Never had missiles pointed at your ass while trying to keep a ship and crew alive.
But suddenly you’re Admiral Cheeto Christ of the Seven Seas, telling sailors to risk getting blown out of the water so you can puff your chest out on television.
That’s not leadership.
That’s cowardice wrapped in a flag and dipped in self-tanner.
Real leaders don’t gamble with other people’s lives like they’re chips in a casino.
Real leaders don’t sit safely behind a podium telling working people to “show guts” while they’ve spent 70-plus years showing nothing but ego, ignorance, and the emotional maturity of a feral toddler with Wi-Fi.
If you want guts, pumpkin, here’s a thought.
Put your own orange ass on the tanker.
You sail through the Strait of Hormuz first.
You stand on the deck.
You take the risk.
But we all know that’s never happening.
Because the only thing you’ve ever sailed through is bankruptcies and bull****.
So spare the world your tough-guy routine, you cowardly, loud-mouthed, spray-painted mascot for bad decisions.
Until then, keep your mouth shut about courage.
Because the people actually risking their lives out there have more bravery in their pinky finger than you’ve shown in your entire damn life.
Girl bye.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. No Known Cure.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. No Known Cure.

I had to smile about what a Democrat said on Monday, " I have a bad dose of TDS and it's spreading like a Covid epidemic!"

Your Facebook post from the Yank mon ami, read it again, it's hilarious, you can almost see the steam coming out of his ears and the blue smoke curling up from the top of his head. Totally deranged.

You certainly have some serious issues BT

Lots of Brits who have connection flights home via the middle east are now stranded out in Goa, and are having to pay extortionate prices for direct flights to London from Mumbai. Fortunately we booked on a direct flight with Tui Manchester/ Goa return, so have no issues.

The resort is now very quite with the hotel running around 25% occupancy. The beach gets quiter every day, along with the shacks and restaurants. Locals saying that there is around 3 weeks supply of LPG left which they cook with

This place shuts in 4 weeks time when the rainy season kicks in and the migrant workers go home. Lots of Nepalese work the bars and restaurants here, and when the season ends at the end of April (rainy season May-October) they all head home for the treckin season and then back out in the autumn

It's all the fault of the Evil Orange Emperor of the New World Order ballcock, so don't blame me.

All because of the Jews he started an ill considered illegal war.

The global economy has tanked.

Thousands of people are dying for nowt.

The Gulf renaissance is now totally pfhucked.

There is no Gulf safe zone any longer.

Global travel is pfhucked.

Shipping is pfhucked.

The Gulf Cooperation Council is no longer cooperating.

Qatar, UAE, Venezuela, Cuba, Gaza, Iran, Dubai and Europe are all in peril.

All because Trump wanted to start a US/Israeli offensive in Tehran by beginning an illegal war.

Safe journey home mate.

Yanks and cranks of the world unite...

One US troop commander reportedly told troops that Donald Trump "has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth."

FFS!

"reportedly"

"reportedly"

Does some work in Lefty Land does that word.

A military commander told a group of non-commissioned officers that President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint filed with a religious freedom watchdog.

The anonymous complaint was provided to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation by one of the NCOs in attendance at the Monday briefing on behalf of 15 troops – 11 of whom were Christians, one Muslim, one Jewish, and two atheists – and was first reported by freelance journalist Jonathan Larsen on his Substack.

The NCO said of the commander: “He urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

I have absolutely no idea why you just cannot accept the Trump Cult is totally out of control mon ami.
