It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

I wonder why Trump always includes Obama’s middle name when he talks about Obama he says his middle name constantly but never anyone else’s middle name, why doesn’t Trump say Joe Robinette Biden and Hillary Rodham Clinton rather than just Barack Hussein Obama, could it just be racism?

COOL!

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Increases Section 232 Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum COUNTERING TRADE PRACTICES THAT UNDERMINE NATIONAL SECURITY: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Proclamation to increase the tariff to 50% on steel

Has Trump just breached the only trade deal he struck?

At the time, British PM Starmer described the deal as one that "will remove tariffs on British steel and aluminium, reducing them to zero."

Yet Trump just announced that they'll get a 25% tariff.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Harris said the exact words “Trump’s tariffs would invite a recession by the middle of next year” probably a thousand times lmfao

I suppose President Biden’s critcial interview about Trump does “break with previous former Presidential convention” if you just ignore the orange hulk who spent 4yrs criticising Biden fiercely, repeated his “stolen election” lies and claimed Biden was responsible for his convictions.

“Starmer needs to start governing. Labour need to stop triangulating and start running the country. They are wasting the term they were given, worrying about a second one. They can do a lot of good, if they stop being terrified of losing power in 2029 and start using the power they have in 2025.”

I do hope European leaders understand what is happening here. Trump and Putin are carving up Ukraine and making fundamental decisions on the future of Europe--and not a single European leader is taking part in the call.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

Professor Alexis Jay said that starting a new inquiry could hinder the implementation of the recommendations from her 2022 report. "We have set out what action is required and people should just get on with it," she told the BBC. She added: "I've certainly been very unhappy about the politicisation of child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in the way that many people, sometimes in a very uninformed way, have waded into the argument."

Professor Alexis Jay, who led a 7-year review of sexual abuse which reported in 2022, says starting a new inquiry would delay any implementation of her own recommendations:

A quick look on the racism site shows that Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick is apparently outraged at the delays in the criminal justice system.

Y’know, the ones caused by the policies that he consistently supported. The ones that he was absolutely fine with when he was in government.
