This boy seems a little ... animated. Did he have too much fizzy pop before going on TV?

Here she is in 2026! This neatly bobbed, elegantly coutured lady in her 60s, steps forward in the manner of someone who might just as easily address an international conference held to improve the efficacy of PPE rollouts in future pandemics. And then she sings: β€œIt’s a fine day/People open windows”

So, basically, he thinks thousands of South Asian women were going to vote for the guy who wants to deport them, but were forced by their husbands to vote for the woman who doesn't want to deport them instead?
Presumably this will be a persuasive argument for his target audience of gullible idiots.

I don't think they've noticed that all the toys have gravitated to Evie's bed.

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster

The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion."

The next tweet says: Today is a great day. 

Our military is amazing. 

@PeteHegseth
 is an absolute killer. 

Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. 

It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. 

He actually gets it. 

God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could.

He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran.

I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. 

The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran!

He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! 

Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

I was going to do a piss-takey post the other day about Labour HQ saying 'What our by-election defeat proves is that we are absolutely right to carry on with more hard-right pish that is the exact opposite of what our target voters want,' but I see Labour HQ has saved me the time.

If history has taught us anything, it is that bombing campaigns and attempts to enforce leadership change in the Middle East always go really well, with absolutely no unforeseen consequences or repercussions for the next several decades.

A five-star review of 'How Soon Is Now?' by Paul Carnahan, from reader Sarah Jane Porter. The review reads: As a lover of time travel novels i decided to give this a try as i have read most of favourite authors books. To start with i thought i wouldn’t enjoy it but only because it was so different to all other time travels novels i have read. Never read one involving a retro sun louger for a start. Once i got into it i was completely gripped by the story. Sad and funny i really felt for characters. What an incredible read and was totally engrossed. It’s left ne with that empty feeling you get after a great book and lost where to go next. Will definitely be looking out for more by this author.

Reform thought Matt Goodwin would walk last night's by-election because he's a big name on right-wing Twitter – but that didn't transfer to the real world, where he's just a repellent creep with all the charm and charisma of dry rot. Twitter is not the real world.

I'm old enough to remember when all the people making claims about voter fraud and sinister conspiracies used to tell us to just suck it up if a vote didn't go our way.
