Our daughter is now dangerously ill in ICU. @DermotKennedy
@DermotKennedy My chronically ill daughter is going to miss your gig at the O2 on the 5th June (again). She’s fighting for her life in hospital (again) with #intestinalfailure caused by #hEDS, #MCAS and #POTS and all she talks about is missing your concert.

Thousands of ambulance handovers in the West Midlands have exceeded six hours, potentially harming patients, Channel 4 News can reveal. Two families share the human cost of ambulance delays after losing loved ones.

Alan Bates is considering Privately Prosecuting the Bosses of the Post Office for Corporate Manslaughter. RT If you support him, it is the only way there will be justice.

At this point, just give him a “Super Nobel Peace Prize for the Most Peace,” a coloring book of Greenland, so we can all move on with our lives.

If true, Article 25 of the Constitution needs to be invoked before he wreaks mass destruction. No script writer could have written anything quite so insane. The man is mad - and there is ZERO wisdom in his madness.
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador:   President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

After 9/11, NATO's Article 5 was invoked for the first (and only) time ever by the United States. Troops from Denmark, the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Australia, Spain, Poland, Norway, Romania, Turkey, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Finland, and many others joined the fight in Afghanistan. More than one thousand of these soldiers paid the ultimate price. And how does the US respond to this? By threatening to take over Greenland. Author: Pekka Kallioniemi

Being a European today basically means having a pretty excellent day until around 5 pm when the White House starts posting the dumbest shit you've ever had the misfortune to read. Every. Damn. Day.

This little fucker is more dangerous than Trump. Not because he’s smarter, but because he has a longer expiry date.
Q: Do you have a message for European leaders on Greenland? JD VANCE: My advice to European leaders is to take the president seriously

🇳🇴 As a Norwegian, let me just say to this man; the only embarrassment we feel, is second hand embarrassment for the fact that you even think you should have one. The man who cuddles up with the worst war criminals of our time, who just attacked another country to get their resources, and now threatens to do the same to several other nations, including occupying one of our neighbors. To the man who does nothing but praise russia, that’s waging a genocidal war in Europe, and even refuse to call russia out as the aggressor & terrorist state that they are. The man who never condemn a single one of russias massive attacks on Ukraine, when they bomb residential buildings & murder civilians, but instead continue to purely put pressure and disrespect on the victims of this war and comes up with the absurd statements like saying Ukraine “does bad things too” simply for defending themselves and their country. To the man who created a force unit that now goes door to door in his own nation, tearing families apart without proper due process, abusing people who cleans up your mess, harvest your food and build your homes. A force who now also will unlawfully arrest and even shoot and kill their own citizens, and be praised for it!! The man who does nothing for his people’s welfare and healthcare, but brags about his corrupted deals, building real estate on the dead bodies of children in another country. The man who has tasked his family and friends with international trading and crypto schemes in order to enrich his name own name. The man who flashes gold and build ballrooms for his billionaire friends, while his own people can barely afford rent and carry the nation with the taxes they pay from their hard earned labor, while he and his super wealthy associates gets tax evasions and continue hosting their lavish parties of corruption! So to sum up; No! We Norwegians are far from embarrassed over you not getting a Peace Price. And our nation is far from getting decimated. In fact, feel free to look at our ranking of wellbeing, safety, growth and equality compared to yours, maybe you’ll be the one who’ll feel a bit embarrassed.

Is it a good idea to hold a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country where the Rule of Law no longer exists
Cancel the FIFA World Cup in America.
