That surprises me. As David Henig says, hardly an uncontroversial celebration but we were more interested in the penny (to pay for fireworks) than the guy. Watching the guy burn was shocking but thrilling (real clothes!) Didnβt understand significance.

We stuffed an old shirt & trousers with newspaper and put on go kart to make a guy (but not every year). Does anyone still do that?

See also Kemi Badenoch, Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman in the UK. They championed an El Salvador style deportation scheme to Rwanda that was declared illegal by the UK Supreme Court. Mercifully they did not press ahead with it anyway like the Trump Administration.

Una donazione per aiutare i bambini
Presente in 190 paesi, l'UNICEF si occupa di assistenza umanitaria per i bambini e le loro madri in tutto il mondo.
Itβs so easy for the humans at the centre of his story to be forgotten Patrick, you have given them a voice and humanised them. I have made a small donation to UNICEF. Itβs humbling & heartening to see how generous the people of Sudan & Chad are.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.
