Make America Great Again www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/d...

*As right wingers huddle by their box mattresses, frying the remains of a dead squirrel they found over a crudely assembled garbage fire* "At least he got rid of DEI"

A shockingly straightforward headline from CNN: www.cnn.com/business/liv...

Trump needs more diversity in his top team. Some non-idiots would be a start.

This is art. 🤗

Serbia says, “Hey U.S.A., this is how it’s done”!

Oh noes, Americans get to drink bourbon and Zinfandel while the beleaguered Europeans will be forced back on armagnac and Sancerre, the lights are going out all over Europe.

I've never seen a nation torch its reputation the way Musk and Trump are torching that of the US. Every day they find a way to make a new segment of the world population detest them. Makes Brexit look like a PR triumph.

Fund managers have said that Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda has instead unleashed a Make Europe Great Again trade that is reordering global financial markets. www.ft.com/content/2e81...

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Does America have any idea what people around the world are thinking of it tonight? Where are the protests? Where is the opposition? Heartbreaking to see a nation's moral collapse like this.

Were any previous authoritarian takeovers this unbearably cringe?

I have a theory that the people who applaud Katharine Birbalsingh the most are those who've never been near one of the thousands of other state schools in this country... and imagine they're all semi-feral Marxist hothouses because of something they read in the Daily Telegraph

Keir Starmer, when asked about Trump's Gaza plan, directly contradicts the US President: "They must be allowed home. They must be allowed to rebuild. And we should be within them in that rebuild, on the way to a two state solution." #PMQs

Shame on you

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

'Many of us...have a feeling that we are living in a country where fanatics, hooligans and eccentrics have got the upper hand.' British Ambassador to Berlin, 1933.

Yes I wonder if the guy who's spent the last three months supporting far-right groups was doing a fascist salute it seems so unlike him.

Trump has picked Linda McMahon - a former WWF wrestling executive who made up that she had a relevant degree - as education secretary. And she's not even in the worse ten of his picks.

Let’s stop calling them farmers and start calling them landowners

The hardest part. To know this of people you will meet

been covering politics for over a decade now and always genuinely believed in the whole "blame the losing party, not the voters" mantra, except that I think something has now fundamentally broken inside me and you know what? on this one occasion? fuck the voters, it's on them

heavily agree with this point from Moira Donegan on the other place
