  • Convicted US Felon To Arrive In Scotland

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Thu Jul 31 11:47:24 2025
    The Felon's visit did not amuse the Scots. The subject line is one example of a headline.

    It is one thing that the US taxpayers have to pay more than $10M for this photo op for his Golf course, they made their bed.

    It is a totally different thing that the Scots had to pay œ5M for it.

    Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.

    I didn't vote for him - or his continued grift of the American people.

    I know, and so does most of the rest of the world, that 80% of the US people did not vote for him, just like the girl sings in the love song in the link I posted the other day.

    We feel sincerely sorry for all of you, helplessly watching how your country has turned into a dictatorship, where one megalomaniac can make and unmake (the TACO guy) essential decisions without even asking the elected parliament. The abuse of the Executive Order is appalling.

    Stay strong, the US must be strong enough to survive this nightmare, albeit it will take a long time, rebuilding your union from the ruins of the MAGA destruction.
