Todd Blanche says review of Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case ‘is over’ Deputy US attorney general says victims ‘want to be made whole’ but that doesn’t mean ‘we can just create evidence’

"All that's left is 3 million horrible photographs of Epstein and his mates doing terrible things, which isn't enough for us to prosecute anybody, so the case is closed."

Literally. That's his argument.

People have to do jail time. Powerful people, who thought they were untouchable. They have to be arrested, tried, stripped of assets relating to their crimes, and sent to jail.

Because if it doesn't happen, it will prove to voters that democracy is a sham.

And then we're seriously fucked.

The White Album for me.

Trump sued the BBC for editing one of his speeches.

It makes you wonder why he's not suing people for directly, openly stating that he's a rapist and a paedophile.

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Sorry but this is the greatest single joke they ever did on Shooting Stars

What a load of shit

How shit at business do you have to be, to be personally worth 37,000 times the amount an average UK worker will earn in a LIFETIME, and still be incapable of withstanding a tiny tax increase?

Josh Glancy If support for Reform has hit a peak, a Tory pact looks a lot less distant Photo of Farage Extracts: Another danger for Reform is tactical voting and the left uniting to keep Farage out, which is what happened in the Senedd by-election in Caerphilly two months ago.. Put all these factors together and it’s no surprise that there is speculation once again in Westminster about a Reform-Tory pact. If Reform has hit a plateau and can’t get there alone, what about uniting the right by teaming up with the rump of the Tory party? If Farage and Badenoch can’t get along — the pair have barely met and share a mutual antipathy — then perhaps a more Reform-friendly Tory leader, likely Robert Jenrick, could do a deal to ensure an end to left-wing tyranny? Farage had an uneasy end to the year Such an arrangement could take many forms, from an explicit deal not to compete across the board to a quiet, implicit, “gloves-off” agreement in key seats. Publicly, of course, both sides reject this suggestion — to do otherwise would be to admit their own limitations. Farage has called the idea “ludicrous” and insists his party will “swallow” the Tories, not join with them. Grubby deals with the hated Tories would dull Reform’s insurgent sheen. Privately, however, the conversation has a different tone. This month the Financial Times reported that Farage had told donors he expected an election deal to happen (a story he later described as “fake”). Many Tory MPs also privately admit that some form of deal may be their only path to power. “If Tory MPs are faced with a choice of going into coalition with Reform as a moderating force in government, or Britain being governed by some kind of rainbow alliance of the left, they will obviously choose power over five more years in the wilderness,” says the Tory source. “They can be as high-minded as they want in opposition, but if the opportunity arose they would jump at it.”

“Farage had an uneasy end to the year”

Where “uneasy” = exposed as racist with corrupt/traitorous links to Russia and useless at running councils.
But no worries. They’ll just join forces with the failed Tories to “end the left wing tyranny.”

They can all go to hell.

The unfathomably bleak circumstances of Rob Reiner’s death put me off posting anything at first. But Donald Trump’s should-be-unbelievable-but-isn’t response has made it essential that we do. Flood the world with the good stuff. Remember him THIS way, not for this awful day. youtu.be/H7vk5keNbRc?...

Mr. Speaker, can you comment on the president’s social media post about Rob Reiner after he was murdered?

I didn’t see the post. I’ve been very busy. I work 22 hours a day.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

Chris Mason: Why, in my judgement, Reeves was misleading on one specific point The Chancellor chose not to share some information on tax receipts in an unusual press conference, given before the Budget.

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.

Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

No shame, no opprobrium: racism is priced in now. Of all the right’s victories, this one has been critical | Jason Okundaye In this age of Tory nativism and Faragist populism, the question isn’t ‘is this person a bigot’? Now it is ‘does that matter at all?’ says Guardian writer Jason Okundaye

“Racism has become thoroughly detached from “serious” politics”
It has been reduced to language.
So, instead of fearing accusations of racism, politicians now exploit them as petty, name-calling distractions from what really matters.
It’s an ugly, cynical deceit.

Not from an advert or a jingle, but Derek Griffiths stole McCartney's 'vocal bass' coda from 'I Will' wholesale for a children's song he did on Playschool back about 50 years ago.

If America survives Trump and his administration, it'll be like 340 million people beating cancer.

The fear is real.
Look what he instigated on Jan 7th 21.
Being president is the only thing keeping him out of jail...

The main story on BBC 6 Music News this morning is that a ‘boat carrying migrants is on its way to France’

Delivered in the same upbeat tone as England winning the women’s Euros.

The migration ‘debate’ in this country is unmoored from reality, and the media-political complex is feeding it

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

There is so, so much Noticing going on.

There's no point trying to Notice something when there's not an official Event Of Noticing going on lad, that's just noticing

‘Yeah, but you’ve got to hold your nose and vote Labour to keep the Tories out. Any other vote is a wasted vote.’

That was my last ever vote for them. Ever.
