So, imagine: He orders Hegseth to attack, who then orders USAF, starting a war (another he will no doubt claim he stopped, in due course} - all without any approval from Congress. At what point does any of GOP (try to) stop him?

I'm hoping those generals and admirals take their oath to the CONSTITUTION seriously. I wonder how many of them thought "this guy is batsh*t crazy!"

Welcome to BlueSky. You'll find it much nicer here than the other place. People tend to be more respectful

Not a football fan, but congratulations to the Lionesses for doing what the men's team seem unable to do - win on penalties AND win back to back titles

"Protect and serve" At what point will the police live up to this and stand up for and protect citizens from ICE bullying?

I know I'm not a US citizen, but I believe if Democracy survives to the next general election, and Democrats win, the first order of business should be to lock as many safeguards into the Constitution as possible to prevent another authoritarian. NO-ONE is above the law, ESPECIALLY the President

I well remember the feeling of excitement growing up with the Apollo project, eagerly absorbing the information printed in Radio Times whenever there was a launch

Sad to say that ever since Blair, Labour has just been a different shade of blue, except for when Corbyn was leader. I think if John Smith hadn't sadly passed away it might have been a different story

Absolutely majestic take-off afterwards. Fish: "Oh bu**er!"

Indeed. There have been quite a few new anchors/journos who have been sacked/forced to resign who are now free of corporate restrictions and are now able to report freely on substack

"Financial reasons" bollox. Perhaps they'll have other "financial reasons" to worry about if people start boycotting CBS and Paramount+

I think anyone with a Paramount+ subscription should consider cancelling it. Boycott and CBS/Paramount show. This could cost them more than the $16m they paid. I hope Stephen teams up with others (John Oliver, Jon Stewart etc.) to produce a knockout YouTube channel

Perhaps, in future, anyone intending to run for President should be tested on their knowledge of the Constitution

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

Here in the UK they have a tendency to say something was the "right and proper thing to do" when trying to justify something (and convince themselves)
