I’ve made it

I'm struggling to make it readable (I know, some savvy person has told me several times how to do this! ) But it has got me curious!

Don't worry, no offense to Rabbit, you aren't missing anything.

I hope this is readable if not let me know and I will copy

I found it readable .. but surely even Vance can't be that stupid ?

I would have found it very amusing, if it wasn't such a serious situation, no I dont think Vance is that stupid, its worse its compleat conceitedness and nievity with a belief that America is so much better than anyone else.

There are many things wrong with americans and america, the main problem is most americans have never been out of their state that much, let alone outside the country, and even then a on a mad tour of Europe or asia etc.

The second thing that has messed things up is a guy called macator, whose map projection makes America look twice the size of Africa, rather that the other way round this also adds to the preception that America is so great.

My brother went to auschwitz a few years ago and there was an American woman on the tour, very loud mouthed until the point that she said to the guide, so this is exactly what the camp was like when our american GI's arrived and liberated everyone here, to that the guide said. Madam the Americans were no closer that 500km of here, auschwitz was liberated by the Russians. At that she went very quiet.

"Russia is easier than Ukraine to deal with"
Not surprising when you just let them get on with it. There again no surprise coming from President Krasnov of Trumpestan.

This is a master at work:

Absolutely spot on!

I just saw this article on the back pages of CNN. Revenge at its finest. Wonder how long it will take before the Judge is fired.

And of course under this regime social media has dropped fact checking and argue that freedom of speech is more important.

That is until somebody says somthing about you or your organisation.

For linked articles that are sometimes behind a paywall, I use this handy tool. https://archive.ph I set it as a bookmark at the top of my browser for quick access. Open it in a new tab. When the page opens there are two boxes, paste your link address into the bottom box (the black one) and click "Search". More often than not it will open the full article that was behind the paywall. Good luck.

I dont usually like Bernie Sanders, but I think this is a very good speech, worth listening to if you have 25 minutes to spare. Nothing realy new, but it describes what he believes is happening very clearly.

[Nomoss]

He didn't mention that Trump is already well on the way to doing the impossible - he's undone hundreds of years of progress in about 50 days.

I wonder if the tottering lectern Sanders was using is symbolic of something ?
