"Do it for your self-satisfaction, with no sense of obligation to anything or anyone else. If it feels good, do it."

Sounds like the excuse all rapists & abusers use

Brilliant phrase by a US friend of mine to describe the defence of a prolific paedophile by Trump, Bondi, Patel, Thiel, Musk and Bannon et al

‘The Creep State’

Putin?

Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits.

It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.

Not you.

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

When it comes to misconduct in public office, we have investigations into a former trade minister, Lord Mandelson, a former/prince trade envoy, Andrew, but saliently missing for both his Bannon and Lebedev connections is the former Foreign Secretary bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

What utterly shitty hypocrites.

Not saying it was the sole cause, just saying what my original post said, ie it was the *start* of the long slope to partisanship & misinformation which was fervently grabbed by the right wing.
But yes compared to the sh*t social media now pumps out daily then it doesn't seem much by comparison

Perfect set up for "losing" a few $Billion here & there

So that’s now three Brits — Ghislaine Maxwell, Former Prince known as Andrew, Peter Mandelson — arrested as a result of Jeffery Epstein.

Come US. You bang on about habeas corpus, warrantless searches, Magna Carta and the rule of law

Have you really surrendered to King Donald?

The only justice Anne Widdicombe would be interested in probably involves a cat of nine tails

How the Repeal of the Fairness Doctrine Gave Us Donald Trump The decision by the Reagan administration has given us three decades of broadcast news that recklessly reaffirms prejudices.

Not everyone thinks so

Well it saves them having to listen to his mocking & other verbal abuse while they're there

I'm just waiting for the inevitable in a few months -

"After extensive investigations, there appears to be insufficient evidence to bring further charges..."

"Release will cause irreparable damage to the former defendants...."

Not suspicious at all!

Setting up a similar situation as exists in Russia (although with somewhat lesser amounts).

It's very easy to "lose" a few $Billion here & there into various people's pockets, when dealing with those ridiculous amounts of money

This is beginning to sound like the same excuses they used decades ago to attack iraq

It's performative, they're attacking people their base supporters hate & blame all their problems on, so they hope in doing that it makes them look tough.

“I would never call a President of the United States of any party a fucking piece of shit on a podcast, until today. He is a fucking piece of shit. This is where we are. I want to go back to an America where I can’t make the case that the president is a fucking piece of shit.”

Makes a change from falling out of a 10th storey window

Witness Who Disputed ICE Account of Ruben Ray Martinez Shooting Dies in Car Accident A passenger in the car with Ruben Ray Martinez wrote that the men were trying to comply with authorities before Mr. Martinez was shot. The passenger, Joshua Orta, died in a car accident on Saturday.

The only passenger in the car when an ICE officer shot and killed an American citizen in Texas last year had planned to speak up and contradict the government’s account of the shooting. But the passenger, Joshua Orta, died in an unrelated car crash on Sunday.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

This is how it is done.

So much to whine & digress about. This is going to be the most random mind dump we've ever heard

When did I glorify the wealthy

I'm actually agreeing with you

Mainly in terms of the question-

"What the f*ck is Trump going to announce next week, that throws everything else up in the air?"

Considering you can be worth up to $999Million without being a Billionaire, then I think that's perfectly sufficient for any one person
