Saying purple doesn’t exist is as inherently ridiculous as saying the earth is flat and to even need to rebut the argument cedes too much intellectual time to morons. Is my view

The point is that to engage in the first place means they win. It’s no different to flat earthers

Trump told Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson to block a vote on releasing all the Epstein files. And submissive MAGA Mike dropped to his knees saying, "Yes sir!"

Mike Johnson is complicit in Trump's Epstein cover-up and all the House MAGA sheep are following behind.

I would ask “What are your top three achievements in post that specifically relate to reviving culture in provincial towns and which is your favourite cultural passion?”. She’s been utterly and totally woeful, almost AWOL, as far as I can see

The triumph of bullshit Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections. The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our “President!” We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much “gusto” as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms. No mail-in or “Early” Voting, Yes to Voter ID! Watch how totally dishonest the California Prop Vote is! Millions of Ballots being “shipped.” GET SMART REPUBLICANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit.

(Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

The question should not be “Can Reform win the next GE?” but “Why is the UK media pushing the idea that Reform could win the next GE?”

Tonight Tonight might actually be my least favourite ever SP song- overwrought over arranged and overly nasal in the chorus. Can’t stand it. 1979 however, is just sublime. It’s a great album overall - if not quite up there with SD

Mike Johnson keeps saying that Democrats hate America

But I can’t think of anything more hateful to our country than refusing to swear in a duly elected representative to protect a pedophile or his president pal

Adelita Grijalva MUST be sworn in

“Cutting red tape” is as bound up with the core tenets of neoliberalism as “trickle down economics”. They are also both mirages

Populism 101- demean, “other”. Populism 102- hark back to a mythical, (intentionally misremembered) past.
