Liz Truss's real legacy

Trump warns of 'mess' if Supreme Court rules against tariffs The Supreme Court's decision on Trump's trade strategy could come as soon as Wednesday.

The Supreme Court ruling on Trump's tariffs cannot come soon enough. I really hope it goes against his authoritarian wishes.

Dodgy ethics aside, no need to worry about the mandatory biosecurity measures that everyone, including gamebird shoot managers, are supposed to comply with, eh? #AvianFlu

Stewart Lee: Four hours is a long time in politics when the world is led by an emotionally disturbed gorilla When I started writing this column, Trump was about to invade Greenland. By the time I’d finished, he wasn’t. Who knows what will be happening by the time you read it?

Great piece on Trump by Stewart Lee: "Four hours is a long time in politics when the world is led by an emotionally disturbed gorilla"

Trump: "I know we'll come to (Nato's) rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours". No surprises that the ignorant f*ck doesn't know about his own country's recent history.

Sure, and that's fair enough. But I'm guessing you don't believe they stop working when they're near water.

Other things he also (ridiculously) doesn't understand: tariffs, magnets.

This isn't satire. No jokes. This is the President of the United States telling Norway that he's going to take Greenland from Denmark because Norway didn't give him a peace prize.
This isn't Orange Man Bad. This is Orange Man Mad.

Trump to Norway's PM: “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace."

This is the president of the USA. A selfish, unthinking bully, happy to follow a path of greed and violence.

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

Donald Trump says eight European countries face 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland – Europe live Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland will face tariffs from 1 February

Now the orange-faced toddler is screaming tariffs because he's not getting what he wants. And the thing we should be clear on: his actions show he doesn't care in the slightest about the basic principles of democracy.

Sickening. What were the charges? Being a woman AND having the wrong colour skin?

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military - White House It came as European allies rallied behind Denmark, which is pushing back against Trump's ambitions for the Arctic island.

It's time for the EU and its allies to make some very clear statements describing actions they will take to counter this BS. Shouldn't Greenland/Denmark make it plain that unless Orange Face retracts his statements, the US will no longer have access or support for their military base in Greenland?

The English teacher in me loves this cartoon…

From Benjamin Slyngstad.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.

Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.

Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Trump is a dangerous, unthinking, selfish bully. He doesn't understand consequences, but many will suffer them from his reckless actions.

Venezuelan president Maduro captured and flown out of country following ‘large scale’ US attack, Trump says – live US president says: ‘the United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela’

It's tedious to have to keep repeating, but Trump is a low-IQ selfish, dangerous, unthinking bully. I long for the day that he's no longer in power.

The 468 file is still there:

They just removed the clickable link to it from the file listing.

Some of the files (like the 468 file showing photos in the drawer) are still available on the site. They just removed the clickable link to it. But the file is still there.

Sad and disturbing news. Almost certainly linked to illegal persecution of these amazing birds.

I look forward to Trump losing this one.

I’m convinced that the antivax movement will look like an absolute act of stupidity to historians. The US willingly reintroducing measles is just baffling…

No. Next question.

I'm sure that if Netflix agree to spend a few tens of million dollars on one of the many fantastic offers from the Trump business empire, everything will work out just fine.

Raise your hand if you're surprised.
Still good for these conclusions to be shared.
