Say it ain't so, Joe

Trump threatens to defund New York City, hurting New Yorkers if they don’t vote the way he wants them too.

And no, Zohran Mamdani is not a “self-proclaimed …communist.”

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Trump is not stopping crimes in Democratic cities, fighting mortgage fraud among Democratic officials, recovering state secrets from Republican officials he hates, or protecting the Jews in universities. All of these are absurd lies that Trump says to implement fascism over US.

It's a backup trunk, what's the issue?

America slides into fascism. Opposition politicians are shot dead in the open, or arrested without a warrant. Military parades watched by a hired crowd run through the capital. The judiciary is threatened, the executive bypasses the legislature. The republic is in mortal danger.

I knew this shit was gonna be bad, but it's moving even faster than I thought.

What, the Grimsby that's been Labour at every post-war election bar 2019?

It was a beautiful song. Maybe you can't get past your own prejudice.

You're glad the woman who was at a music festival when terrorists attacked, who hid with 50 people in a shelter that had grenades thrown in; who survived with 7 others by hiding under the corpses of her friends; who then chose to become a singer & write redemption song, didn't win because... why?

This isn’t getting nearly enough attention.

Estonian navy is stopped at intercepting a shadow fleet vessel because a Russian Sukhoi Su-35 violated Estonian air space. This reduces even the implausible deniability to 0, which Russia has been relying on with the shadow fleet.

Maybe. But Reform, like Corbyn's hard left, cannot command a majority. Farage may do deals as a charismatic figurehead. But the country aa a whole won't vote for him.

He'll never win under FPTP.

Yes. He holds together the Party of Tice and Anderson.

QV Brexit.

PR would pretty much guarantee Farage became PM.

No. Reform aren't the answer but the concerns of their voters are real. We need a fair system, that quickly processes refugees & makes them citizens, & identifies false claims & returns them 2 the country of origin. We need legal safe routes at centres in France. We need prosperity for all citizens.

Local governance in England & Wales. For context.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.
