‘I’m intelligent. Some people would say I’m very, very, very intelligent.’ Donald Trump.

This guy should take over from Jimmy Kimmel. He’s a natural comedian.
DOOCY: If Trump launches a bigger military campaign in the Caribbean, is he jeopardizing a Nobel Peace Prize?

LEAVITT: The president has proven over the past year that he's more than worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. He's solved 9 conflicts

Only just caught up with this excellent, informed, thoughtful piece @lewisgoodall.com

Anyone who cares about the BBC (in what time it has left before it becomes PBS) would do well to read.

And reflect on the role in this Panorama feeding frenzy of one David Grossman. (Plus, of course, gibb.)

But “don’t be dramatic.” 🤡

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Trump is responsible for inciting the murderous behaviour of the Jan 6 crowd he invited - ‘will be wild’ - and fired up to do violence.

Of course this scum had no excuse: they didn’t have to take trump at his word, ‘fight like hell,’ and try to hang Mike Pence.

But trump is the real criminal.
It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

It’s been 70 years since Graham Greene’s novel The Quiet American was published.

Greene’s scathing picture of US foreign policy and the men who carry it out enraged American critics, but the history of the last seven decades has vindicated his perspective.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

The thing about the Tech Bros and their crazy transhumanism is that, psychologically, they’re all trying to compensate for being young and vulnerable as children, by pretending they will never get old and vulnerable. It’s all a manic way of avoiding inevitable mortality

We have to listen to bigoted handwringing about how we have to abandon trans people and marginalized communities and immigrants while the clearest election winning message is right there.

Given that he was trying to get an apology out of the BBC for some of its 1970s comedy output, including homophobia, which he mentioned specifically, he’s got some gall thinking this clip wouldn’t resurface to show up his hypocrisy.
Farage should be nowhere near public life in any capacity.

Shame to see the guy who bravely wrote and sang The
Killing of Georgie in the early 1970s smiling at this pathetic shit.

But, yeah, Bernard Manning.

(At least he could be extremely funny - when he wasn’t just pandering to farage types in the Embassy Club.)

Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.
