Minnesota Star Tribune: "Boelter’s friend and roommate David Carlson told reporters on Saturday that Boelter voted for President Donald Trump and was a “strong supporter” of the president"

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

The obscene irony of Netanyahu saying that Iran will pay a high price for killing women and children.

One thing social media has taught me (though I have definitely experienced it in other media too): a lot of people, even quite smart people, are worryingly bad at reading comprehension. For instance: many have trouble distinguishing between someone *describing* a thing and *advocating* that thing.

How very expected 🙄 🤬

Something to talk about @mrjamesob.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Thames Water should be made an example of, arrest all their executives, let the company go bankrupt dissolving all their debts. Nationalise with no debt. It will teach the criminal bosses, the irresponsible lenders and the greedy shareholders all at once. And you pay nothing.

He's always just looking out for a quick way to make a buck or to cheat on taxes. He has no respect for anyone. Nor do his children, it would appear.

No, liberals simply believe in due process, habeas corpus, and the rule of law -- even for criminals like Donald Trump.

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

State Rep @jamestalarico.bsky.social gives a master class in Republican hypocrisy 🔥 The Texas House passed the Ten Commandments bill in an 82-46 vote… on the Sabbath, breaking the Fourth Commandment in the process.

Spare a thought for Fred Goodwin, who is now struggling by on a pension worth an estimated £600,000 a year. It comes as RBS - since rebranded as NatWest - is set to return to full private ownership at a potential cost of £10bn to the taxpayer.

Remember This Memorial Day🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 This is Officer Caroline Edward's.💙 The Jan. 6 Insurrectionists cracked open her head & gave her permanent brain damage as she tried to protect The Capitol.🇺🇲

🇳🇴 Norway took its oil wealth and built the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — investing in pensions, healthcare, and the future. 🇬🇧 Britain sold ours off in the 1980s, handed control to private corporations, and spent the revenues on short-term tax cuts.

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...

I’m grateful to Jill for highlighting this. It is the core of the article. And understanding and fixing this is core to our country’s survival.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1956...

From Europol to isolation: how Brexit weakened criminal justice Brexit impedes cross border criminal investigations – the UK is now unable to participate in the systems it helped create | Paul Swallow

FFS, David Cameron IS a geopolitical risk…. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The problem with the BBC doing analysis is that you can't *do* meaningful analysis if you aren't willing to go 'that thing, measurably, is the fault of one side or another', you just end up writing nonsense.

BBC News sum up gains for the UK £2 billion - CPTPP £5 billion - India £9 billion - EU However, keeping the UK outside an UK-EU Customs Union, and access to the EU Single Market costs us £140 billion a year So yes, £9 billion is great, but nowhere near the £140 billion we have lost due to Brexit

God the tabloids and Brexit dinosaurs were boring today… 🦖 Braying the same “betrayal” lines they’ve brayed since they got what they wanted… then found they had no benefits in it whatsoever. Still they came out today to play victim yet again. But the world has moved on.

Richard Littlejohn mostly lives in a gated mansion in Florida. Andrew Neil mostly lives in Grasse in the South of France.

Trump just said Biden has stage 9 cancer. There’s no such thing. But hey, this is the same guy who said windmills cause cancer. What a fuc*ing moron.

I don’t think this is true, the queues particularly in popular destinations are horrendous and people getting the cheapest flights are often late at night, with lots of kids. It’s not a metro-elite issue.

The idea that, in four years' time, with both business and consumers used to less friction, UK winning EU defence contracts, Erasmus+ exchanges in full flow, pet passports, easier travel, etc. voters will yearn for a repeat of last decade's trauma is such terrible politics, even for Badenoch. ~AA

Of course, the gimp mask and leather have been fairly standard Tory attire over the last 50 years. Eveningwear, if you will. Not workwear for when not watching porn in the Commons chamber.

the President of the United States, everyone

I wonder how much $$$$ Trump got for this.. Fucking hypocrite.
