Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

In case you weren’t hip to it:

TURNING POINTS USA IS A RACIST HATE GROUP!

It always was.

There is literally no difference between praising Charlie Kirk and praising David Duke.

Same same.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

Once you have called disabled people a burden, you have facilitated the devaluation, dehumanization and death of disabled people.

Badenoch has called Starmer a lawyer not a leader.
Starmer has just demolished her. He is a leader and a lawyer. She is neither.
