Cash machines outside a bank in the town of Lurgan have been vandalised by having their screens smashed and anti-gay graffiti scrawled on them. It’s stupid. But I guess it’s a good thing that homophobes now attack machines instead of people.
In pictures these morons wear polo shirts with “We are the people” printed in the back. They do not represent Swedish people, they’re just an embarrassing abnormality.
For me, the football frenzy is now over. However, England will soon lose Scotland and Northern Ireland to Europe, so it’s all good.
Britain’s foreign minister talks out of his arse at Brexit meeting. No one is surprised. It takes a turd to know a turd.
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them” (George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1949).
“Anti-trans feminism needs to be called out for being exclusionary,” Sally Hines writes in a new essay. She’s absolutely right.
So, we’re now America’s enemy. And this comes a day after he advices the British prime minister to sue the EU instead of negotiate a Brexit deal. Exactly how insulting long-standing allies will “make America great again” is difficult to understand.
The press conference in Helsinki is a farce of two buffoons made for each other. I sense a bromance.
Trump didn’t name a single action for which Putin should be held accountable, the New York Times writes.
Yesterday’s press conference in Helsinki was historic, with the American president siding with Russia again the United States.
Israel is the Jewish homeland and has alway been so, but the idea of a nation state is a relic of the nineteenth century. With the nation state comes the need to define what citizens are not part of the nation, and this has proven very dangerous.
The Cuban government is currently developing a new constitution as part of a package of reforms intended to modernise the communist country, Pink News reports. Great news! Finally, the regime has moved away from idealising Che Guevara’s homophobic death squads to embracing liberal decency.
According to the Pew Research Centre, 61% of white evangelicals now approve of Trump’s performance, down from the 78% who said the same thing in February. I’m not surprised. Not being a Clinton is not enough to maintain popularity in the long run, especially for a male chauvinist known for saying “grab them by the pussy”.
From Questions sur les Miracles (1765) in my translation:
Certainly, those who has the power to make you believe absurdities also has the power to make you commit atrocities. If you don’t use the intelligence with which God endowed your mind to resist believing impossibilities, you will not be able to use the sense of injustice that God planted in your heart to resist a will to do evil. Once a single faculty of your soul has been compromised, all the other faculties will submit to the same fate. This has been the cause of all the religious crimes that have flooded the earth.
A new report from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College London says that 4,761 (13%) of 41,490 foreign citizens who became affiliated with the terror organisation ISIS between April 2013 and June 2018 were women. A further 4,640 (12%) were minors.
American loony Steve Bannon is moving to Europe to spark an extreme-right revolt across our continent. He’s meeting with Europe’s extreme nationalists. Why? Well, according to Jay Ogilvy of Forbes, it might be his sensitivity to the imminence of disaster. God show us mercy!
Aryeh Stern made this ridiculous and untruthful claim in a letter to the city’s mayor.
Germany’s defence minister Ursula von der Leyen has launched an attack. And she’s right. Kremlin couldn’t have a better friend in Washington than Trump.
