Yes. Trump only responds to power

He could have stopped at β€œyou can’t have an honest election”. That’s the way both like it

MSM can’t seem to stop themselves - they are either very dumb or in cahoots. Or maybe both

What a surprise - rich men don’t get rich by paying their dues. Musk is a terrible leech

Deeply unsatisfactory. This is what’s so egregious- IPSO are classifying outright targeted lies as a β€œmistake”. It is NOT, it was deliberate. Ridiculous to play β€˜Mr Nice Guy’ with determined RW papers, like bringing a light wrist-tap to a gunfight

Agree but what about Participation? We need a large chunk of the population to take part, actively, and not just when it affects them personally and directly

Shows you how quickly such scandals become buried and forgotten - the news cycle moves on immediately. Still the stench lingers on

The sharper the better. So sick of this widespread practice by some of calling refugees β€œillegal”

They’ve noticed what? Trump’s huge extortions have zero, zilch, nada to do with β€˜combatting anti-semitism’ and everything to do with (1) extortion, (2) exerting authoritarian power. It’s getting worse, something those who folded earlier should have foreseen

He just doesn't get it, does he?
You can't beat populists by copying their narrative and thinking you can do it better. You beat them by creating an alternative narrative that appeals to people's hopes, intellects, and feelings of shared humanity.

Not the fact that 1000’s of Latino’s are being scapegoated, rounded up and disappeared?!

It’s been a big puzzle. But if so why are they just meekly accepting of all this nonsense? They are Cabinet ministers, the people who (are supposed to) LEAD whole areas of Gov policy and execution.
Frankly some Tories had more decency when a whole lot of them resigned over Boris’ idiocy

Bet Trump has never set foot in the Smithsonian probably barely heard of it. It’s one of the crown jewels of DC and the nation. This is pure Nazi shit from β€˜Project 2025’ team. Does the Federal Gov really have power to interfere with it as an independent institution?

β€œTrump’s historical vision” is the most dystopian part of the headline (other than the authoritarianism of course)

β€œIs Britain’s net-zero push to blame for its high energy prices?”
Should get a prize for a ridiculous headline. Media do a lot of damage like this, & this one is particularly egregious

Ooh, very interesting & welldone ! Some kind of distillation effect? (I confess I haven’t read it yet so maybe that’s a dumb question…
