Presidents Day How to Trump-proof the presidency

open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Plainly, we cannot rely on the discernment of the American people. They did elect the most despicable, corrupt, cruel, ignorant, and lawless president ever to hold office, knowing a great deal about what he intended to do.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Is this really what the US President posted? Surely in a land of so many lawyers this can be acted onโ€ฆ

Trump is who we think he is, Fred was a racist and Don was "born to the breed"... he's never covered it up. The "Central Park 5" were accused of a murder, Don took out a full page ad advocating for the death penalty. After the Central park 5 were full exonerated, Trump never apologized.

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels sheโ€™s โ€œcome homeโ€ to Reform. Itโ€™s a perfect fit.

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace Most of those at Mondayโ€™s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadnโ€™t defected long ago

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanityโ€ฆ and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think weโ€™d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

How Badenochโ€™s meeting with Mike Johnson led to Trumpโ€™s Chagos deal rant A brief encounter set off a chain of events that culminated in a public rebuff to the US president from Keir Starmer

So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter.

It's time for British voters to reject extremists like Farage, who hate this country, and embrace patriotic serious leaders like Zack Polanski.

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Good to see @scaramucci.bsky.social apologising on behalf of normal Americans for Trumpโ€™s vile behaviour and comments about allies. I have American relatives and friends who donโ€™t deserve this portrayal. The media need to step upโ€ฆ.he is unhinged

If they claim to care about the armed
forces but say nothing when Trump
declares British troops stayed "off the
front lines" in Afghanistan - they are
cowardly charlatans,

Absolutely spot on.
