What I find interesting about Trump 2 is his obsession with death. He's terrified by it.

“Some of them, I assume, are good people” can we really be surprised we ended up here?
More to the point, how did anyone think we wouldn’t?

Sorry, terminal is not the correct word. And this is probably not a perfect source but I was thinking of this.

Yes. Didn’t see that when I posted. We’ll have to see if he follows through (🤞not) or if he taco’s.
My bet is he’ll not, but Netanyahu might. I’m heading to bed now, who knows what the morning will bring.

And he has nothing to say. Irrelevant.

Mine doesn’t but hen mine has stuff rammed in everywhere so there is no way they could so stock control. Buzzing me the lettuce at the back is off would be handy!

But, right now, I’m not so sure. He likes a bomb and a show of force. He has asked about nukes. He might just go all in and then stand back and say “that’s what you get.” He’s a bully and a coward, so when he fights he will look to win with the first punch (because he can never take one).

Until now I always through that was in American, once he sends troops abroad he gives power to generals and the military, a group he doesn’t understand or trust. He also knows with a war abroad anything can happen (see Bush and Iraq). Instead he will use the troops as his police against the left.

Taco. At least I hope.

That was my fear, but I think he prefers Turnberry, and I’m increasingly thinking - now his cancer seems to be terminal - Charlie just can’t be fucked with him, and will make excuses.

State visit will never happen. Charlie will either be too ill or find some excuse.
He may well pop across to Turnberry or his other course. But I doubt it. He’s old and fucked.

Oh. Sorry, I get it now.
Had a few sherry’s myself.

Hahaha. I don’t get your point.
I was thinking Spring and Port Wine etc. There has always been an intellectual and I dare say aspirational working class. I don’t think a fictional character from Mary Poppins would have drunk in this pub.

I would say that these days, but what’s to say he could afford that in 1950’s. Work dress and aspirations were different then, weren’t they?

Ladies and gentlemen, this president is 79 years old…
79 years old, ladies and gentlemen, 79 years old.

What does it do? Message you at work that it is broken and you can’t do anything until you get home? How is that different from a normal broken fridge?

It’s an air-fryer. Nothing sizzles, slightly browned crispy looking but poorly textured photos at best.

That’s an interesting point. Are some jobs so toxic they will only attract poor candidates? And how you we fix that?
And what if the presidency becomes one?
comment in response to

He’s 79 years older old. He’s knackered. Really how can the US not see this.
They did with Biden.

I’m trying to google it and not getting anywhere.
But, how is this the German poster for Britannia Hospital?!?
comment in response to

No, maybe it was Britannia Hospital (that was at least a comedy…) was there another more obviously about politics?
Somebody help me here isn’t Bluesky full of 40 year old liberal nerds?

What’s the one from the 80’s, is it A Very British Coup? Where they have the line: “what do you mean America has voted for a violent ignorant psychopath, again?”

Their best argument. And one that may well prevent phones from being banned, was that modern education requires so much online content that teachers would have to issue laptops or tablets to every pupil and they can’t afford this.
Tech is too expensive and needs too much updating.
comment in response to

Was recently cover a young people political discussion. They did should phones in schools be banned in school. Everyone spoke against (other than the proposer).
They all said they needed to learn to use them sensibly and not be distracted. As through all adults had mastered this!

I’m in the grip of an internet pile on
Just coz I told the world how I get my grind on
Guess this is a horny libs plight
To be driven in to the arms of the alt right

Or are users who score worse in the tests more likely to turn to LLMs?

Wierd how he coped the anti war vote, how pro war Bush republicans voted for him. And how the democrats just vacated the space and let him take it.
Always hit him on the economy but by all means say “he’s incapable of bringing peace, the world is more dangerous now and it’s destroying our economy.”

Acts just poll y super gigs in major towns, the days of them playing 300 smaller (better) gigs seems to have gone. Much to the harm of smaller towns and better venues.

And shitting it out the other end.

He’s got a “it had been going on for years yet no one said anything” vibe going on. Defiantly.

I think we can agree he probably does! (And without even a book to read as he does it!)

Is there any break away movement in California? It seems that this would be the perfect spur for one. Imagine a Democratic admin official saying what Noem did about Texas?

Is he drinking it constantly for 58 minutes?

Drinking coffee for 58 minutes sounds like some sort of torture - as well.

How many who protested his first election, ended up voting for him the third time? Genuine question. Are there any figures, even one? Seems incredible one hasn’t been uncovered.

How, by yourself or a paid professional (unless you are a professional) I’m keen on DIY wasp nest story.
Side note: once new an old man who actually called them wasps and not wosps. He was a dude.

Lack of housing in Orkney is a major problem. Teachers, medical professionals refusing jobs here because they cannot get housing. Huge infrastructure projects placing further demand on housing, and outer islands experiencing profound depopulation.

They’ll all be waiting to take their lead from Trump, and whatever he says in his speech/Truth Social posts tonight. Not one of them has a backbone.
Honestly, the collective noun for GOP politicians should be an invertebrate of republicans.
