Wasn't that keen on the state visit for Trump, but if it kept the USA supporting Ukraine for a while longer it might have been a price worth paying. But given today we've seen that Trump has no intention of continuing support he can $@*! right off.

No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Yep - that’s what he said: an American colonial occupation of Gaza will bring “great stability” to the Middle East. This may be the stupidest thing he’s ever said.

Interesting argument in this piece that the Tiktok order is actually the most egregious in terms of pushing what the president can do. It unilaterally overturns an act of Congress that the supreme court approved 9-0. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-resc...

This is a fantastic detailed look at how fascism is defined and whether Trump and Trumpism meet the definition. The conclusion is very clear.
What is fascism - and does Donald Trump's rhetoric and positions qualify? Does Trumpism qualify?
And if yes, what does that mean?
