Obama basically got the Nobel Peace Prize for not being George W. Bush, and the next Dem president is going to get a Nobel Peace Prize for not being Donald Trump. look, that's just the way it works. I don't make the rules

The output of BBC Scotland, on radio and TV, is universally awful. Every exec needs binned and replaced. The staff are good, decent professionals. The bosses are useless tax-sponges

Good Morning Scotland has become 'stale' and fixated on echoing 'uninformed comments' from listeners, which has led to the show's potential axing, insiders have reportedly claimed

There is no such thing as MAGA ‘light’
Or a free press in America.
it IS very easy to cast trump as anti democratic because that’s what exactly what project 25 is, MAGA and all those Good ole Republican Boys who follow his bible (or maybe I should say bile) verbatim.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 12h

It’s easy to cast Trump as antidemocratic and hostile to the rule of law. It’s harder to take on institutions and people such as Weiss who invoke ideas like the “free press” while actually advancing a right-wing agenda.

That's why this kind of conservatism is so dangerous. trib.al/VosixvW

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Local police claim no involvement, but ICE is reportedly going door-to-door asking buildings to unlock their doors. This is America.

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

So much for “America First.”

One of the most frightening parts of Trump's second term versus his first term, is that there is absolutely nobody there now with any courage to check his worst impulses - it's a collection of unhinged cultists who are there only to enable him.

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.
