It's another example of the presidentโ€™s ongoing cognitive decline caught on video. Trump appeared to forget where he was going and left the Japanese Prime Minister behind as she watched him, clearly confused. trib.al/NSIP6lU

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.

Donald Trump was, from his formative years, a spoiled bully. As a Presidential candidate, he made his world view clear: there was โ€œusโ€ and there was โ€œthem.โ€ https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/9kvS8e

I wonder if the South American fishermen he's routinely killing would count as "innocent Christians" too, or nah?

I donโ€™t actually like the sniggering tone of this..but it is quite fascinating & disturbing seeing pretty, naturally attractive-looking women having what looks like quite a lot of work done on their faces.

Even their chins and lips
Even Karoline Leavitt.

To end up with a painting-by-numbers vibe.

Moscow blackout last night, as Zelensky promised. 100s of Ukrainian drones launched in recent weeks - 700 reported last night alone. Oil pipelines and refineries are being systematically destroyed and Anonymous are also attacking Russian computer networks. Putin will not survive the winter.

This week, Texas filed a lawsuit against Tylenolโ€™s parent company, alleging it failed to alert consumers.

Later, Kennedy clarified that โ€œthe causative association between Tylenol given in pregnancy and perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism." trib.al/TTCslz7

Especially Andrew who was very keen to force women meeting him to courtesy deeper a second time when their first effort was insufficient In his view.

He was OK with publicly humiliating them.

Jersey fisherman quits amid rising costs and red tape Ministers say they recognise the sector's struggles, but added some challenges go beyond politics.

"It cost about ยฃ208 to get my scallops to France. Now it's ยฃ875" - Jersey fisherman quits due to Brexit

Jersey is not part of the UK, they didn't have a vote on Brexit

Jersey had their own fishing treaty with France until Johnson claimed their fishing waters and screwed them with his Brexit deal

What A Difference 3.5 Years Make A Bipartisan Failing Summarized In One Night

Last night Ukraine attacked Russian targets (including Moscow) with hundreds of drones and Russian authorities downplayed the event. Three years ago we were told if Ukraine attacked Crimea, Russia would go nuclear. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The generation that experienced WW2 knew how bad things could get. The horrors that they had directly experienced in Coventry, on Omaha, at Belsen, Bastogne, Dresden, Nanjing & Tokyo meant that they understood how dangerous THIS was. This is where all that started.

The same idiot who begs for a Nobel Peace Prize will start a war against Venezuela, intends to restart nuclear tests and refuses to fight climate change - which could cause the death of millions.

He does not deserve a Nobel Prize, but should be deposed for allowing innocent people to be killed.

Opinion | In Trumpโ€™s America, Are We Losing Our Democracy? Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

โ€œDonald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has, often in open defiance of the law. His actions have raised a chilling question,โ€ writes the Times editorial board.

Interesting thread. Another nuance that gets lost in the narrative about Ukraine โ€œlosingโ€: I guarantee you Ukraineโ€™s injured are looked after a lot better than those in Russia.

A car accident sent her to the hospital โ€” and $64,000 into debt This doctor broke her ankle in a car accident. The hospital kept her overnight, but her insurer stopped paying after she left the emergency room.

Physician Lauren Hughes was driving when another car T-boned her Subaru, totaling it and breaking her ankle.

Then the bills came: $63,976.35 in total because her insurance deemed her hospital stay not medically necessary.

Nope. Cluelessness far more important than being desperate. A total failure to understand the modern world, trade, geography, even international politics. Still not fixed.

And in milder forms quite widespread across Europe.

Memory of the Second World War and genocidal Nazi crimes is now as distant to Zoomers as memory of trenches at the Somme and Verdun was to my Xennial generation born in the late 1970s and 1980s.

The battle against myths of Nazism can no longer rely on lived experience of its catastrophic realities

Reform councillor defects to Tories after partyโ€™s policies left him โ€˜uncomfortableโ€™ Dartford representative James Buchan says โ€˜devastatingโ€™ immigration plans had created a lot of fear and anxiety A Reform UK councillor has defected to the Conservatives saying he became โ€œuncomfortableโ€ in Nigel Farageโ€™s party.
