He'll put a cost on protecting his own country from natural disasters, but not on a foreign nation waging an aggressive war that has disruptive US foreign policy. Priorities.

There's a difference in preparing for 250k people, and 250k people showing up. It was a few tens of thousands at most for their sad little Fuhrer march

So another round of Israel starts a war it doesn't have the ability to actually win or even prosecute, then goes running to to western nations begging them to come and fight it for them (and likely calling them anti-Semitic if they don't). Bibi, fuck off.

So after 2 years of telling the UK Government to go F itself over Gaza (while still demanding we sell them the weapons needed for their genocide), Israel starts a war that everyone warned it not to, that it can't easily win on its own, and our response is... To bail them out. Fuck this government.

The UK, along with the rest of the west should invade Israel and remove Netenyahu and his death cult from power. No other country in the world would be able to get away with acting like this.

At what point do we say 'fuck this' & forcibly stop Israel? They're genociding Gaza, trying to annex the West Bank, and committing regular unprovoked attacks on Syria, Lebanon and now Iran. All because they believe the west will keep fighting their battles for them. Enough is enough.

Glad it's not just me getting this vibe. Everything looks like it's fitting into the same 3 or 4 visual, gameplay,style and mechanical templates, and none of them are appealing.

Permanently campaigning, never doing any actual strategic governing. No investing for the long term because that might not pay off before the election. And on and on. It's exhausting, and ensures nothing can ever really be fixed

I presume he's talking about the people that get up and go to work and those that just sit on their arse and live off dividends or rental incomes that are hardly taxed while sucking more and more money out of a system they've corrupted

Well that explains the new tantrum tariffs

Interesting here that there are relatively ongoing trends in Labour's unpopularity. There are just huge jumps, where they get way more unpopular extremely suddenly. Basically every time they announce something, everyone hates it.
The entire leadership needs removing.

But populists can't be the only ones telling compelling stories.
There has to be a progressive narrative too, but you can't build credibility overnight.
Years of cravenness and timidity take their toll. A plague on all their houses. ENDS

So if they cross the southern border because they're actually being killed, bad. If they cross an international border on a plan because of a conspiracy they're being killed, good.
I wonder what the difference could be...

How is this not an opposition party actively interfering with the foreign policy of the elected government?
Also, stuff like this is why the 'We just need to rejoin the EU' argument is ludicrous.

I may be naive in saying this, but the UK holds $740billion worth of US treasuries (as of Jan 2025). Why not just sell $100billion of them? Problem solved.

If the Dems had any capability they would be running 'Trump's government wants to tell you how many toys you're allowed to buy for your kids' ads everywhere.

'McSweeney will pore over the results and is likely to conclude that he's right and has been doing a great job, despite literally all the evidence actually pointing to the exact opposite.'

No Mr Secretary, they don't. China has replaced US demand already. You need them to de-escalate, but they don't. They can leave the tariffs in place forever and will be just fine. Your idiot boss picked a fight he thought he could win. He's quickly learning that he cant

They aren't resetting global trade. The rest of the world is trading with each other just fine, and will continue to do so. Well absorb a bit of pain from the US choosing to freeze itself out of the global market, but will reap the benefits of not having a major power to contend with

The new model is where we go back to the 1800s with families indentured to their mill owners for generations? Sounds great.

So now they'd actually get due process?

1. The establishment sees only the right as a legitimate political force. Any leftward movement is dismissed as unserious.
2. McSweeney has made the (likely correct) calculation that when it comes to the GE, voters will be scared enough of a Reform gov't to swallow their disgust at Labour.

They're also massively worried about being attracted to a trans woman only to realise it was a man. It's not just hatred of women, there's also a massive driver of male homophobia behind it all too, hence also the focus on trans women exclusively.

It's the only way he'll ever have more spotlight than Steve Austin, but goddammit he's going to make sure that for once he gets it.

Im glad more people are starting to see through H's humble BS. He opens WM, does the voiceover, commentary coins it the HHH era. All last year. This year he gets a statue, has trailers for himself during the HOF then goes 90 mins, opens WM, does the voiceover, gets the special entrance during Mania

Is he arguing that if you ever become an air traffic controller (an incredibly challenging job that ages you through stress) then you're not allowed to retire until the federal government permits you to? These people are so far out of their depth

On the one hand, good. On the other, when there were bills on the floor to crack down on this, the establishment Dems, at te behest of people like Pelosi, voted against it

Give it two months and they'll be whining that the rest of the world is conspiring against them to hurt the tourist economy, completely ignoring ridiculous statements like this. If thats your attitude, Marco, then the rest of the world, that doesnt share your values, will tell you to go F yourself

This is bait to try and ward the UK away from Europe, nothing more. Dangle a trade deal (that would be dreadful for the UK) and keep them away from getting closer to and aligning with the EU, who are a trading enemy to the US. Nothing the Trump administration says can or should be trusted.

Do they never learn?? Didn't work for Milliband, hasn't worked for Starmer. If you have the option between Reform and Reform-lite, why would you pick the lite version? These people (by which I mean Blue Labour/the Labour right because it's always them) are fucking clueless.

If they want you to pay for the feature (as part of Switch Online), it should be running at a certain degree of quality. Their naked cash grabbing practices with the Switch 2 are really ugly.
