"We", the top 1%, are making vast amounts of money off "the rest of you" at the pumps and we could not care less that the rest of you are suffering. Support for this guy is insanity.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Could Kenny give 1 vote to each? That way would be his fairest choice as he would not be the deciding vote. #CelebrityTraitors

The Double Vote: The recipient's single vote counts as two votes during the subsequent Round Table elimination vote. So that's a, "No".

Basic education piece: Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Lots of Zionists aren't Jews. The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists. The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people. Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

I will never be deterred from speaking out against Palantir, which should have no place in our public services whatsoever. Kick Palantir out!

So far, two people have yawned in the room. Maybe no one else yawns so one of the traitors takes out the other? #CelebrityTraitors

🎸πŸ”₯24-year-old Tracy Chapman, virtually unknown at the time, was suddenly pushed onto the Wembley Stadium stage as a last-minute replacement when Stevie Wonder couldn't perform due to a major technical glitch (his synth hard disk went missing). Armed with just her acoustic guitar and raw vocals, she delivered "Fast Car" and left the massive 72,000-person crowd in absolute stunned silence within seconds. This iconic 1988 moment literally launched her career overnightβ€”does it give you goosebumps too? If you've ever heard "Fast Car" live (or even just this version) and didn't get chills or teary-eyed, drop your story belowβ€”I need to hear it!

It’s not complicated: if the government has nothing to hide, then why block our efforts to expose the truth?

The government has officially blocked my call for a public inquiry into Britain's role in Gaza. Delaying scrutiny will not make questions about British complicity in genocide disappear - and we will never give up until we have brought about justice for the Palestinian people.

The days of Elon Musk being a businessman who is also an innovative genius are over. Now, he is a Nazi adjacent, power mad, megolomaniacal loon who wants to control everything that goes on everywhere. America is in his sights. He needs to either be deported or arrested.

If you don’t think freedom of religion includes freedom FROM religion, you don’t understand what freedom means.
