Trump insults his opponents daily and posts racist AI garbage depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. But one Cheesecake Factory joke from Obama sends the orange fucking snowflake into a meltdown. Boo fucking hoo, you thin-skinned, piece of shit. ❄️

Does the @BBC understand how delusional its is to think that someone's imaginary friend bequeathed land to a specific group of ground apes that is already occupied by a different group of ground apes? Ans: It is utterly delusional to think that way.
This is how the BBC tries to clean the dirty image of a genocidal entity. It portrays the equally genocidal opposition force led by Eisenkot, a former chief of military staff and minister in Netanyahu’s regime, as being liberal and β€œleftwing”. The BBC has become so openly a Zionist propaganda machine. bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c64g1w…

It is "not fair" that the dumbest guy on the planet and the President of the USA are the same individual but we've had to cope with that for some time now.
Q on ALASKA: I know you say it’s not fair that his name is on the ballot. How is it illegal? TRUMP: It’s illegal because it’s not fair.

"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?
