Joint Task Force Southern Spear.

Bet he came in his pants as he was writing that.

Of course - and they are. But Epstein does provide a useful distraction.

I'm being flippant, of course. Except that nothing bizarre is off the table in this administration.

I'm beginning to think that it's the Epstein files that are the real distraction.

While everyone is clamouring for their release, Vought and Miller can get on with their objective of dismantling American democracy relatively unhindered.

I've seen news reports (NYT) that this stupid name change is going to cost some $2 billion.

Painful though it is to admit it, the truth is that the electorate gave Labour a chance to prove it was not going to be mired in scandal, corruption and infighting. They won't get a second chance.

On current form, the GE will only return a Labour government if people are scared enough by Reform.

It doesn't do us any favours to post unsubstantiated nonsense such as that the released emails 'confirm' that Trump 'violently raped children.'

None of them proves any such thing.

Now tell me about how bad it is that New Yorkers wanted a Muslim as their mayor.

This misunderstands the reasons for King Charles' actions.

What he did to his brother was not because Andrew fucked Virginia Roberts (something the royal family will certainly have already known about).

It was because of the damage Andrew was doing to the reputation of the British royal family.

A: it goes against one of the core principles of capitalism - to keep rewards just out of reach of working people in order to keep them shooting for the impossible..

Come on. Be honest. What would you really like to do to Hassett's smug face?

Fifteen is 'barely legal'?

Shouldn't that read 'illegal'?

Megyn Kelly has a fifteen year old daughter and is a lifelong Roman Catholic.

I assume she'll be telling her daughter that if a fifty year old man hit on her, it would not be paedophilia.

I think you're right. They will wriggle around every obstacle, and use every legal ploy to hide the truth. Maybe in fifty years the truth will emerge.

And, in any event, it has to be very unlikely that the files still contain any damaging references to Trump; Bondi has had the files since January.

They won't make the name change official. They'll just use the name unofficially until Hegseth departs.

Kinda nice that a scion of the wealthy and influential Maxwell family can list 'unlimited toilet paper' as one of the benefits of her life at present.
