If I were an American dictator worried that Congress might do something silly like vote in favor of releasing a bunch of documents that implicated me as a child sex trafficker, it would be super advantageous to fill D.C. with loyal military officers the week before

Thereโ€™s a fancy white house in D.C. with a convicted felon and sex trafficking participant inside, if the National Guard is looking for criminals.

Starmer urged to stand up to EU over tough holiday checks on Brits Keir Starmer was challenged to 'stand up' for Britain and fight tough new checks for UK citizens travelling to the EU.

The folks who wanted to leave the EU and end free movement - include Farage himself - chose this outcome and are fully responsible for it. And the Mail article repeats the "travel insurance" and "return ticket" falsehoods from the Times article.

โ€˜Incitefulโ€™ commentary

> โ€œThe abandonment of the dying and the shell-shocked [after the 7 July 2005 attacks] works pretty well as a metaphor for the British stateโ€™s cowardly handling of the Islamist threat, I think.

The Telegraph's Allison Pearson has been, effectively, inciting riots and a military coup. This is one of Britain's biggest newspaper columnists. Via Private Eye

Let me apologize to the UK, EU, everyone whose ancestors were - whose lives still are - affected by WW2

One of our greatest shames is that the charlatan @GovMikeHuckabee has any role in US government. To use his phrasing, had he gained the presidency WE would all be speaking Russian

Interesting that when seeing the country side covered with acres of white plastic, no-one seems to moan but gods forbid if a field is covered with solar panels, then we hear people going mad.

I am so sick and tired of seeing MPs and the media shit themselves over refugees arriving in small boats over the channel.

If your initial reaction to seeing these boats is anything other than โ€œthose poor bastards, I hope they make it acrossโ€ then you have failed as a human being.

Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitutionโ€”which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpusโ€”have disappeared from Congressโ€™s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.
