Watched Ep3 of Riot Women last night and it has stayed with me. Especially the scene with Beth and Kitty in the restaurant. Beautifully written and acted. Beth saying "Oh Kitty" moved me to tears. So good.

Trump is incompetent in many ways. But he is a world-class expert at ripping off people, including American taxpayers, and getting away with it.

Anybody who thinks there will ever be a free and fair election in this country while these criminals are in charge is delusional.

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

Trump left money on the table during his first term, he's not going to make the same mistake twice. He's going to bleed the country dry. He's like a kid in a candy store.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

How hard can it be for Democrats to just vote "No" on any Trump nominee? Surely that should be a basic position by now.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Afterthought: why does the NYT say "what appeared to be an AI-generated video"? Do they think there's a remote possibility this brain-dead human cyst put a crown on piloted a fucking plane and dumped the shit FOR REAL?

I got a potato and wire and a copper penny but I couldn’t find a zinc plated screw.

I put it all together anyway, but it didn’t work and now I’m being arrested for attempted battery.

Riot Women on the iPlayer is really, really good. Fantastic.

Trump quickly made the news all about him again with his video post. He wasn't inconvenienced one bit by yesterday's protests. He just doesn't care. He'll shrug it off and carry on where he left off.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

It's bad enough that Christmas takes up all of December and some of November if you are a really sad case. However, now it appears that some people want to celebrate Halloween for the whole of October. Grow the fuck up.

Per CNN, the White House has just issued a two-word response to what may be the largest day of protest in US history—and those two words perfectly encapsulate why No Kings Day exists.

The response from would-be King Donald to outrage over his destruction of our traditions and norms is, "Who cares?"

Richard C @rchappo.bsky.social · 3d

They're just going to ignore the No Kings protest like they did the previous ones. None of them will mention it and they'll go on as if it didn't happen.

Ryan Yates is a class act and I'm so proud that he's our club captain. Took on the responsibility of doing every post match interview today.

Brian Clough would call this moral courage.

I don't dislike Ange as a person really, but he never felt like a good fit for us. Also, the media fuss around him seemed weird. Oh well. Let's move on.
