i know we all need to just internalise this and move on but i really can't get past the fact that all high-level geopolitics is now "thinking up ways to trick the world's most infantile man into believing that your agenda will make him look like the birthday boy"

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

In the post-truth world, something needs to be repeated constantly: russian occupation is not peace, it is a death camp. More than 440 graves were found in the forest of Izyum in 2022 after its liberation.

He who rambles on about Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer’s dick size, windmill cancer, and turning Gaza into a real-estate play, and thinks he’s saving the county, should have his head examined.

A few weeks into this shitshow and I'm still jarred by people posting from an alternate universe of delusional calm with things like "it bears repeating that what Musk and Trump are doing is highly irregular and likely illegal."

Posting footage of deportations impresses no one. Reform voters don’t think it’s enough hatred and the rest of us turn away from yet more performative cruelty. The Labour vote disintegrates. If Labour can’t decide who it should be talking and listening to, then it ends up without an audience.

This is as good a summary as any of Trump's approach to government: it's awful and I don't know anything about it

I note @rcolvile.bsky.social thinks it's "nutty" to compare his proposal for getting rid of workers & their families who came here legally to work in NHS, care etc to Enoch Powell's proposal to...get rid of workers & their families who came here legally to work in NHS, care etc 😉

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man. The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.

Things you love to see: Tesla sales plunged 63% last month in France, the European Union’s second-biggest EV market, according to Bloomberg.

I think this is one reason why the BBC's coverage is so poor. It has to bend away from reality for fear of sounding extreme. The truth is that a delusional old man and an insane billionaire are executing an unconstitutional power grab at high speed but saying that sounds hysterical.

Trump has just mentioned the following as possible causes of the Washington plane crash: - Obama - Biden - Pete Buttigieg (“he’s got a good line in bullshit”) - non-white people - people with intellectual impairments - people with psychiatric disabilities - people with dwarfism. Seriously.

RFK Jr looks and acts exactly like the guy in a zombie film who's desperately trying to hide the fact that he was infected from the other survivors.

So this article is basically just a puff piece for Melania Trump's new official portrait. It's the kind of fawning guff you'd expect from a supine press in a military dictatorship, not the BBC. And not even a hint of the incredibly obvious photoshop/filter on the photo. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
