It’s astonishing that they needed to be working within the party to see what most on BlueSky see.

that cult like loyalty to Farage is all that matters & he doesn’t care about the little people

At all

Donald Trump on Bibi Netanyahu: “He’s a wartime president".

Er. Isn't the president of Israel Isaac Herzog?

By contrast, Netanyahu is the nation's grifting Prime Minister, keeping a war going because he faces corruption charges when it's over.

Trump should have known that, but he's a moron.

That's what all that obsequious toadying to Trump at the televised cabinet meeting last month was about. Pandering to the base in preparation of his demise. It was so clearly orchestrated.

But Naziism was not Hitlerism, Fascism was not Mussolinism, Stalinism was not Marist Leninist Communism.

MAGA is Trump, and even that is leeching away.

Hitler died at 56. Mussolini at 61. Stalin at 74, painfully, from a stroke.

Trump is 79, suffers from congestive heart failure, dementia and arguably had a ischemic stroke six weeks ago.

It can't be long now. With the Dear Leader gone, MAGA will drift away.

The 3 Day Week and power cuts were under Ted Heath's Tory Government.

And the strikes were under Margaret Thatcher.

Have a good day.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Is this the clarity that comes just before death?

They're not members, they're non-voting shareholders.

Let's leave the Greens to fight it out with Deform who's got the most enthusiastic supporters. The Tories have already lost.

Thank you to all 260,000

I now predict that we will be the biggest political party in Britain before long.

The pauses you can hear in Bibi Netanyoo's speech to the Knesset are surely the points where he's sucking off the Cheeto-faced Shit Gibbon.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that most Americans (apart from those he and his lapdogs label “pro-Hamas,” “terrorists,” and “antifa”) adore him.
