If your VERY FIRST reaction to watching a horrific Learjet crash is “That looks fake,” “It was a missile,” or “Where’s the debris?” then congratulations. You’ve just identified yourself as the perfect mark for every conspiracy grifter on the internet.
It’s the same breathtaking stupidity that gave us the 9/11 Pentagon “missile” and “missing debris” conspiracy theories.
A horrific tragedy unfolds before your eyes, and before you know a single fact, your first instinct is to invent a conspiracy. STFU & GTFO!
You’re not “just asking questions.” You’re broadcasting your ignorance, your gullibility, and your complete inability to distinguish evidence from bullshit.
And the people exploiting these tragedies know EXACTLY who you are. They know how to manipulate you, outrage you, and keep you coming back for another helping of manufactured mystery.
They turn human suffering into conspiracy content, and you eagerly spread it for them.
You think you’re exposing a cover-up. You’re actually exposing how easily you can be played.
The grifters have a product. You’re the customer.

Even if the American Republic lasts for 1,000 years, nothing will ever remove the stain of this despicable man’s monstrous betrayal of everything it once stood for
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

Carlson’s talk with Rees-Mogg displayed breathtaking levels of ignorance and naìvety. How come a man with such influence in the US can be so stupid and ill-informed? Rees-Mogg eviscerated him.
This statement of @TuckerCarlson is a breathtakingly bold lie. Russia has about 5,000 political prisoners right now, most of them jailed for speaking against the war or posting on social media. Hundreds of exiles are sentenced, in absentia, to long prison terms. I am one of them, sentenced for a coupe of posts on the atrocities committed by Russian occupying troops in Ukrainian Bucha and Mariupol in the first months of invasion. Tucker can read my indictment, which lists these three social media posts, the sentence for which is 8.5 years. Thanks God, I was out of Russia by that time - there are dozens of people who were not that lucky and serve long prison terms for similar posts on social media.

More than 100K views and 7K likes for this total bullshit from a
US #MAGA account, with 5 name changes, recycling old posts as "breaking."
Both posts are copied word for word from 13 Sept 2025. No rally in the UK yesterday. More like 50k in attendance. Police never said 3 million; more likely 50K in attendance.
Any real person who believes and/or likes this obvious easily disprovable lie has a severe psychological problem.
Fuck off @X.
My wife is 44 today, and I was with child #2 in Tesco just now planning birthday stuff: they were all out of relevant single-digit cake candles, and it was suggested I ask if they had any four candles. I declined.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

When I wrote about this image rights sham for The Independent in 2018, Manchester City threatened to sue us and demanded I tweet out a personal apology on here. We fought them. They did not sue us.
City's sham is confirmed by the Premier League today independent.co.uk/sport/foot…
