Has there ever been a more compelling example of the Peter Principle than ReFarage UK?

Did you see that they are working on a dollar coin with his face on it? I thought you couldn't be on the money until you're dead?

He's not against science. He is for being paid vast sums of money, and being surrounded by adoring sycophants. It just happens that climate change denial and vaccine denial deliver both.
There's also the fact that COVID made him look bad, so anything associated with it is on his grievance list.

Huh. I thought they cared deeply about nepotism and using your family’s political office for clout.

He’s right though. If Biden had resigned and handed over to Harris, we might have a functional president.

Trump is no doubt baffled by the failure of Iranians to worship him as is his due.

Trump only cares about polls. He doesn’t do anything about grotesque abuses unless they are pinned on him.
The lesson is simple: we need to do our damnedest to ensure that *every* shitty thing done by his shitty droogs is pinned on him.
In every article about RFK, Kegseth etc., also name Trump.

He wants us to do the dangerous work of escorting ships through Hormuz.

How about: no. Trump can have the strait reopened tomorrow by calling off his pointless war.

What the fuck is Loony doing there in the first place?
She is a completely ignorable propagandist with no job of any importance at all.

From Wikipedia:
The tobacco industry playbook, also called the tobacco strategy or simply the tobacco disinformation playbook,[1][2] describes a public relations strategy used by the tobacco industry in the 1950s to protect revenues in the face of mounting evidence of links between tobacco smoke and serious illnesses, primarily cancer.[3] Such tactics were used even earlier, beginning in the 1920s, by the oil industry to support the use of tetraethyllead in gasoline.[4] They continue to be used by other industries, notably the fossil fuel industry, even using the same PR firms and researchers.[5]

Much of the playbook is known from industry documents made public by whistleblowers or as a result of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. These documents are now curated by the UCSF Truth Tobacco Industry Documents project and are a primary source for much commentary on both the tobacco playbook and its similarities to the tactics used by other industries such as the fossil fuel industry.[5][6]

The FedSoc Six on SCOTUS have all been hand picked to prevent the oil industry from ever being held to account for its use of the tobacco playbook to protect short-term profit in the face of incontrovertible evidence of harm.

An "Oil Master Settlement Agreement" is what they are paid to prevent.

Here in Brexitstan, every election I can remember has been fought as a Dutch auction on tax rates.
As a result, the welfare system that was once the model for the world is now in tatters, taxes in all but name (e.g. NI) favour those on high incomes, and most people support more tax to fund the NHS.

On the plus side, at least we know that SCOTUS' endorsement of unlimited presidential power and authority will end the next time a Democrat is elected.

What this administration’s quiet reversal tells us is that the far-white fetishizes the deaths of Black people and wants to make sure that the police are free to keep murdering them.

Albanese has been targeted individually and specifically by the Trump regime. Trump made her a "specially designated national", a status that forbids any US entity from doing business with her.

This is in retaliation for her reporting on Israel's campaign of genocide in Gaza.

That and any lawsuit would trigger discovery, which would instantly make the Epstein files public.
