‘…the diary revealed…its simple assertion of individual humanity amid institutional chaos, of a future despite the present, of life in the face of death.’ You feel me…?

There is no shit that the proud citizens of the ‘land of the free, and the home of the brave’ cannot be made to eat.

Why are people still pretending they think ‘factual basis’ is a thing in the US anymore? Any nation that can elect a cretin like Trump (and, yes, this goes back to 2016) (let-alone TWICE) can make only very, very scant claims to such concerns.

That all depends on how many bots he can get to tell him it isn’t.

Let’s be real here. Are we saying that Trump should be anxious about the jet creating ‘the appearance of an ethical problem’? The guy is a multiple felon, insurrectionist, rapist, foreign intelligence asset, and all-round degenerate. This is the brand that sold to half of America. Post hoc, no…?

Utterly revolting from Starmer. He’s aping the Jenrick model (of all available models) going from bland political mediocrity, to begging us to believe he’s actually a racist, lasered-in on the interests of white British people. Does nobody have the ability & inclination to stand up for the facts?

Consider yourselves fortunate. We’re on the UK end of this buuullshit. As per: the USofA does some stupid shit - in this case a trade ‘deal’ which makes things worse for us, and is of limited use to you - and we call it The Special Relationship. Special (adj.):

I believe this is what was meant by his ‘pragmatism.’ Some may call it some tawdry shit that will be condemned by history, but what do they know…?

Well, at least a bunch of fake-religious cranks can be satisfied that a made up ‘god’ is happy.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this isn’t going to happen.

The America you’ve known for over 60 years? I’m pretty sure that cops beating-up on black guys isn’t exactly a new thing.

Labour falling into the turgid habits of the US Dems. ‘Vote us, to keep the others out. Our takes on their red meat BS are slightly less worse…’ That worked out a treat. Inspiring stuff. Really captures the imagination…

‘Closer ties to Europe’ is still electoral kryptonite, continuing to be brought to you by the right-wing media. On the other side of things, the left continues to hobble itself by outlawing the use of the term ‘retarded.’

In fairness, if you’re going to lose the next election, you may as well do it on the back of the policies of the party supposedly diametrically opposed to your own supposed values.

I keep hearing about how intellectual Stephen Miller is. I guess it’s like the hillbillies say: it’s all relative.

Oh, I’m sorry. Were Labour interested in securing my support…?

Indeed. This is Reform PR from Paul Crick, by way of The Grauniad and BlueSky. These are the times.

Two things: 1) Trump’s anus is unlikely to be orange, if you think about it. 2) This is the face of a supposed meritocracy fetish.

I guess the money must be good. Dignity is overrated. I sometimes wonder what Trump’s SC picks must be thinking. ‘Promoted’ to the ‘Supreme’ Court, only to use its ‘power’ to ‘rule’ whatever they’re told to.

In these cases, often: it’s not the media literacy and disinformation awareness (ml&da) that makes the Finns the kind of people they are; it’s that the Finns are the kind of people who teach ml&da. There are deep cultural/intellectual differences between us and the Scandis that make…differences.

Let’s be real about this. If people can’t see the likes of Trump, Farage, Putin, Le Pen, Wilders etc. for what they are within seconds of their opening their mouths, then ‘self inoculation’ is about as realistic as a racist-crewed trip to Mars.
