I’ve no idea about any the legal arguments - but if you dismissed Biden as senile and can somehow rationalise these incoherent ramblings from a man barely able to stand upright you have some explaining to do.

I know this isn’t the biggest issue, but as similes go that’s completely barking.

Utterly deranged 🤡

UK: Prince Andrew arrested.

South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.

Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.

USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS
FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Albert Bridge can’t take vans or lorries. So it acts as an overflow.

There’s utter gridlock on the other two bridges, esp as Hammersmith Bridge remains closed.

The traffic nearby (where I live) is a polluting snarl. It’s an utter joke that two nearby river crossings are closed in our capital.

This is utter madness.

In 2025/6, the BBC World Service has been funded by £137m from the Foreign Office & £221m from the licence fee.

This is after a 21% (£54.2m) real terms cut since 2022.

The return on this investment in terms of soft power this brings the UK is incalculable.

Remembering that the late Queen met
Liz Truss - and died two days later.

Statue of Trump, Munich Germany

Munich, Germany

This man is going viral for showing up to an Anti-ICE protest in NJ. People thought he was there to cause trouble. They were wrong.

He’s never protested before. He came because he saw kids running from ICE on the news and couldn’t sit at home. This is the best of America.

Funny how he doesn’t mention that the scientist he cites - Ross McKitrick - is an advisor to the fossil fuel funded ‘Global Warming Policy Foundation’, alongside Ridley himself.

Odd that.

Trump Destroys We are now in the Age of the Psychopath

“Trump looks like you and me, but inside he’s a different species. He feels nothing.”

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

The strategy is to say actively stupid things so we have waste time arguing about basic facts rather than getting on with what we have to do: shifting to a post-fossil society.

It's the same with the right and identity and race. Actively offensive things so it jams up democracy with distraction.

I am confused…does Noem have a security blanket she travels with??

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

All well & good, but 82% of Republicans approving is an indictment of US media silos, and bodes very poorly for rationality ever returning to politics there.

American exceptionalism…

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

Easily given away by the fact Trump wouldn’t have a clue who Jane Goodall was.

The biggest, most immediate existential threat to human civilisation on earth, now barely discussed in national media.

Why?

Because barely anyone in power, the media, or business, anywhere, cares as much about our future as they do about filling their own wallets today.

Our own greed will end us.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I worked in TV in NYC in the 2000s.

Never - thank god - on the Apprentice, but you only needed to talk to someone who had to hear about Trump’s overt. racism.

There’s a reason all the crew were forced to sign NDAs.

I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.

Now tell me again how much it's okay that English Lit has collapsed at A-Level and in our universities.

That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

A lot going on here and all ugly, but one thing I still can't get my head around is how any British government can do business with Thiel at this point.

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
