WHO THE HELL IS THIS DIP-shit!!?

Each time these unjustified ICE detentions happen to a European, their governments don't help them - they downplay it . Because they don't want to offend the Trump regime

"When will other nations start holding the Admin accountable for mistreating their citizens?" asks 🇺🇸Senator Van Hollen.

It is a fundamental principle of Irish Traditional Music that there are at least two names for every tune - and at least two tunes for every name.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Rupert Murdoch have done more harm to America than all the other immigrants combined.

The whole electorate only ever vote for their constituency MP.

Not for the PM. Ever.

The idea that a Prime Minister EVER has democratic legitimacy is laughable in our inherently undemocratic FPTP system.

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

CNN's Kristen Holmes reports that Trump blew up during a meeting after learning of the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs.

"He started ranting about the decision, not only calling it a disgrace, but started attacking the courts and at one point saying these effing courts, but using the actual language there"

He's probably told someone to find a way to have the latter trio impeached.

Presumably the question is rhetorical.

New York Times headline reads: Live Updates: Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Sweeping Tariffs The ruling is a major setback for President Trump, and he is said to have called it a “disgrace.” The White House has said it will use different authorities to reimpose many fees on imports quickly.

will the prices that went up because of tariffs now go right back down? or are we now living with higher prices on some goods because of this unconstitutional decision?

Reportedly, a Cantor Fitzgerald entity (run by Lutnick’s sons) explored purchasing rights to potential tariff refunds from companies at a discount — a form of litigation finance tied to ongoing legal challenges over Trump-era tariffs.

Senators have raised conflict-of-interest questions.

I have often wondered if it was Thatcherism that ripped the heart out of the community life that sustained Welsh rugby in the amateur era.

I remember a time when Wales seemed unbeatable, and Lansdowne Road would resound to choral singing for much of the match.

I have suspected more than once, looking at photos of that incident taken from different angles, that the half-kneeling ICE agent is trying to prevent a murder by deflecting his colleague's arm when he realises the shooter has lost his self-control.

Thrushes have been hard done by in the distribution of scientific names.

Was it not Prunty?

A tweet from Headquarters contrasting Trump’s denial of posting a video with a later statement from Leavitt saying posts on Truth Social come directly from Trump. The image shows Trump speaking to reporters on one side and a White House press briefing on the other.

The “staffer” who posted the racist video is his alter ego, John Barron.

"Offer not available in Palestine."

Enough.

Officially, the UK never admits to plea bargains. But I wonder if this is one.

Yeah, OK, but he didn't send any emails, did he? 🙄

This is testimony…

📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti.

“After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

"They haven't gone away, you know!" *Taps nose.

Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.

Somehow the King of England can get on board with his brother Andrew Mountbatten being prosecuted for crimes he committed with Jeffrey Epstein

But Pam Bondi and the MAGA Republicans continue to cover for Epstein-in-Chief criminal Donald Trump

Lord Hailsham used to trot out this line to American students who came to his talks: in the UK we have a republic masquerading as a monarchy whereas in the US you have a monarchy masquerading as a republic.

Banana republic.
