You don’t need to care about celebrity news. But what you should know is that right-wing content creators have built a viral online pipeline that directs pop culture consumers—especially women—from celeb gossip to conservative news and commentary.

UK journalists, how about

"Mr. Farage, would you join Trump's "Board of Peace" if you were Prime Minister"?

Is it naive to hope for enforcement of sanctions and international law, especially on one's doorstep?

Apparently Yes.

The gist of this thread appears to be condemnation of "American exceptionalism", grouping all Americans, irrespective of political labels, as 'at fault'.

Most participants seem to be from "Old World" backgrounds, cultures which have never, ever indulged in such heresy.
I don't think the Americans, and yes, I mean all of you, are prepared for how hated you now are by everyone.

Its not going away folks. Youve lost all rights to speak to us without being told to go fuck yourselves.

The purpose of the liberal rules-based order was not to constrain the actions of the United States. It was to lend legitimacy to a world system structured around US empire.

Trump has torn down this façade - what's left is the reality of naked imperialism.

The USA have bought islands from Denmark before, Trump is intimately familiar with one of them.

The Danish West Indies became the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1917, for $25m, cited as for US "strategic reasons" (Panama Canal).

Bundled in the deal was Little St. James, now known as "Epstein Island".

UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

BBC News: "New Chinese Embassy a security risk".
LMFAO.
Our parliament is riddled with dark money backed lobbyists and MPs in the pay of hostile foreign actors (here's looking at you Nige), Palantir is embedded in the MoD and government systems, our nuclear defence at the whim of the Pentagon (p.94)

Read some more history, Gorka (god, I'm glad he left England).

Try reading the US signed 1917 "Treaty of the Danish West Indies", when the USA bought them from Denmark, and renamed them the US Virgin Isles for pocket change, plus a commitment to cease claiming any right to Greenland.
Gorka: "Read a little bit of history. What happened when another nation tried to encroach on Greenland and in fact invaded Denmark? The Third Reich"

As I read this with horror, I recall Farage/Reform's commitment to deport 600-800,000 people from Britain, if they get elected.

I hope a journalist might ask something like

"Given your admiration for Pres. Trump and his methods, will we see a version of ICE, masked men kicking doors down, here?"
Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?

Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

I'm reading Konstantin Simonov's book "Always a Journalist"

Wait for me and I'll come back!
Wait with all your might!
Wait when dreary yellow rains
Tell you nothing's right;
Wait when snow is falling fast;
Wait when summer's hot;
When no one waits for other men
And all the past's forgot!

"Native American leaders have expressed intense interest in Donald Trump’s legal theory that a country does not automatically own land simply because “some boats turned up a few hundred years ago”.

They described it as “fascinating, bold, and extremely interesting”.

#Bitcoin is still trying to put together a rally, after losing a third of its value at the end of last year.

On the morning after the likelihood of a EU/US trade war turned up on the bingo card, and equities gapped down and gold gapped up, this is a shit response.

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.
