π΄ π - AOC: βI understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.β
Given what's happening in the #US at the moment, we need to be really aware as to how Scotland is being used to further that agenda in other places
We can see what #Trump's got at the moment around #Greenland. We don't want to be complicit in that.
βIf we're not asking the questions about what they're doing when they come through #Wick, we should be asking the questions.
In the space of a week, the US administration has #kidnapped the Venezuelan president, suggested it could take Greenland next by force, and seized an oil tanker in Scottish waters.
As I write, highly civilised human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me. They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are βonly doing their dutyβ, as the saying goes. Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted law-abiding men who would never dream of committing murder in private life. On the other hand, if one of them succeeds in blowing me to pieces with a well-placed bomb, he will never sleep any the worse for it. He is serving his country, which has the power to absolve him from evil.

"Jd Vance is a pathological careerist liarβa hollow opportunist with no beliefs, no spine, no self. He doesnβt evolve; he rebrands. His politics are cosplay for ambition, whatever sells today. Not principled, not conflictedβjust empty. He changed his name 4 times. He will say anything to advance."
He called trump America's hitler multiple times. He opined about how many people trump had raped. He asked the question: what percentage of the american population had trump sexually assaulted.

Eating breakfast, hashbrown, oatmeal and a breakfast sandwich as I can't be bothered to cook anything more complicated, reach for my coffee... Where is it? Oh yeah, forgot to make it, we really need the coffee this morn.
Not much on the docket #today , work of course, weather is supposed to rain, bleah, and I think I might have my hated sub-zone today based on money and package count that's waiting for me, yay.
Prolly go in early after eating and taking care of a few minor things. Will have to buy lunch as I forgot to thaw out a sandwich last night, oops. Do you get the impression that I was knackered last night and still haven't recovered? Yeah, me too.
You know, going on 30 years of delivery work, while i haven't seen everything, surprises are few and far between, but seeing an apartment complex screw up their numbering is a new one. Previous building was 1008, 1010, 1012, 1014, just like all the other buildings. This one? 1016, 1016A, 1018, 1020... Ummm, did someone miscount or something?
EDIT Added categories, realized I took a crappy picture, guess what I get for moving so fast, 93 stops, 95 packages, 6hrs 20min.
@Andrew Pam I was thinking the same thing, but the design doesn't look like that would be possible, plus if'n that happened, you'd expect there to be more like it. I'm thinking because of how they numbered it, evens on one side of the street, odds on the other, someone made a mistake, because they don't usually number like that.
'We are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is β and has always been β a welcoming place for all,' Hilton said in a statement.
This is the document, Trump does not want you to see.
In 1916, under President Woodrow Wilson, the United States signed the purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark, in a convention in which the United States recognised Denmark's right to the whole of Greenland.
Danish MP's of The Defence Committee will convene in the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at 18:00 to discuss the defence of Greenland.
