"Don't worry John, I had the the order drafted to send hats from Washington to Venezuela. Don't know why you need them but I signed off on those hats but that means no spying in Iran this month, OK?"

"Helmets sir. Helmets!"

"Yeah that's what uh I meant, fantastic headwear, whatever it's going to look great on television"


't was the Russians! And the Cubans!

Cubans or Russians? You have to laugh at these bozos making up blatant lies to turn the optics in their faction's favour. Should leave the info war ops to the intelligence community instead.

Austria tweeting @TheRealTsarNicholas @BlackHandOfficial with some kind of corny Franz Ferdinand hashtag.

Such control, much wow.

The Department for Transport is cancelling contracts to provide extra ferry services after Brexit.

Ending the contracts with Brittany Ferries and DFDS could cost the taxpayer more than £50m.

The government bought £89m worth of capacity from the two firms. Some of that capacity might be sold, but millions of pounds could be lost.

The contracts were designed to ease pressure on the port of Dover, by creating extra services at other ports.

In February, the DfT was forced to axe its £13.8m contract with a third company, Seaborne Freight, which the BBC found had never sailed a vessel.

I remember when people said Bolsonaro was a far right extremist who would return Brazil to military rule within a week.

All he has done so far is send out hot takes on Twitter and trolling Maduro.  :lol

*Socialists drive military trucks through groups of starving people*
"The US shouldn't pressure them like this. This is their business not ours. We shouldn't meddle in foreign affairs. Maduro was elected!"

*Some washed up rightwing Brazilian politician comes to power because the socialist president is in jail for corruption"

Austria tweeting @TheRealTsarNicholas @BlackHandOfficial with some kind of corny Franz Ferdinand hashtag.

@Serbia @BlackHandOfficial @TheRealTsarNicholas @JeffGerstmann (1/11) Our demands are as follows:

1. Suppress all publications which "incite hatred and contempt of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy" and are "directed against its territorial integrity".

The Conservatives have lost 1,334 councillors, with Theresa May saying voters wanted the main parties to "get on" with Brexit.

Labour also lost 82 seats in the English local elections, in which it had been expected to make gains.

But the strongly pro-EU Lib Dems gained 703 seats, with leader Sir Vince Cable calling every vote received "a vote for stopping Brexit".

The Greens and independents also made gains, as UKIP lost seats.

Party    Councillors    Change +/-
Conservative   3562   -1334
Labour   2023   -82
Liberal Democrat   1350   +703
Green   265   +194
UKIP   31   -145
Others   1179   +662

Too bad this isn't a general election, otherwise Lib Dems, Greens and Labour could now end Brexit together.

It doesn't matter Benji. Sargon might not make it. We don't know, he's the dark horse candidate.
The Arya Stark that jumps from the shadow to take on Verhofstadt.

But our boi Nigel is doing well for himself so all is good.

Because the EU is run by psychopaths.

Let's use unborn children for our political ads because we're entirely out of ideas and your unborn child is potentially in danger.
https://twitter.com/Europarl_EN/status/1121292755576057856

Not even Dick Cheney went this low but there's no bar low enough for the EU to cling to power.

They fucked up:
- Euro
- Terrorism (everything they did, especially invading Libya made everything worse)
- Employment (youth unemployment is high in a number of states (over 50%))
- Expansion to the East (Ukraine is a fucking mess)
- Migration (migrants piled up in Greece for years before they finally took action)
- Basic democratic rights (in France protesters are getting beat up every weekend)

The borg is now moving on to:
- Everything that is fun (from fast cars to Netflix, everything needs to be regulated)
- Military (combined EU Army)
- Retirement savings
- EU Taxation
- Healthcare

Remember Maidan?

Here Verhofstadt declared victory on Russia in the political fight over Ukraine on February 21st. Announcing sanctions to deter Russian agression and promising the EU would stand with Ukraine.
Yanukovich fled the next day on February 22nd. A week later (February 27th) Putin would send his green men to occupy Crimea.

Usually when so many things go wrong you can vote out the people responsible.
The EU is turning very much into the EUSSR with the same faces and political blocks clinging on to power and dangling carrots like 'Free Wifi' or 10 year economic plans.
It is shocking how far the EU is removed from its original goal and purpose. Which was always to spread democracy, freedom a more equal society and to fight corruption.

The EU is sort of stuck in place so the only way to get back to a more free society is to break it apart so the individual states can once again serve their citizens instead of the borg.
Because in principe everyone in Europe agrees that we should work together but many of us don't like this particular way of authoritarian rule from Brussels fueled by the failed ideology of sparpolitik(austerity) and people that masturbate to the thought of another war with Russia.

Some news coming out that Iranian President Rouhani is set to announce on Wednesday partially ceasing some JCPOA commitment as a response to US sanctions.

This is a real beauty, they wasted 2-3 years doing nothing, now that there is only a year left until US elections they decide to finally pull their finger our of their ass and make this worthless gesture. I can see why Iran needs to restore some leverage in any future negotiations with whichever admin comes next. But I bet all this will do is make the Europeans side with Trump and use the snap back UN sanction mechanism instead, completely destroying the deal in process.
