If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for? The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

I hope whoever wrote this headline (click to see) took the rest of the week off www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I went and watched the segment on iPlayer. This is absolutely wild. It’s basically doing a free micro political broadcast for Reform during BBC Breakfast.

It’s all so very Trumpian, politicians promoting stuff they have a stake in. No surprise really since Farage has already mimicked Trump in so many ways - his obsessions with DOGE and ICE being two good examples. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've had this sense of split screen for the past few weeks. It's not that Wall Street is always right. But how are they so wrong?

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money. Their "patriotism" is always a con.

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake.. Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

There it is: A full year of days spent playing golf in just over five years as president. www.pbump.net/outofoffice

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

"Matthew Goodwin has been paid a salary of up to €10,000 a month [from Hungary's state-funded MCC], according to leaked documents obtained by Hungarian investigative journalists Direkt36 and reported by the Good Law Project" That could all end if Orbán loses... open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

So weird that all his deadlines expire right before the markets open on a Monday. This is the third one in as many weeks.

The cold chilling of America.

This has to be so he can destroy the Epstein files, his taxes, and anything else he wants, not to mention actual presidential records. Republicans can burn in hell on earth for eternity. Worthless pieces of shite. I'm disgusted by every one of them.

Finally catching up, are we? So can we dispense with Palantir now? Or paying higher prices for US pharmaceuticals? Or anything else that makes a deal with EU more complicated? As for allowing US bombers to take off from UK soil, enough already! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh, just a puff piece in The Times applauding the black shirt wearing, grandson of a fascist, Louis Mosley for rescuing the NHS Test and Trace programme, the same programme that cost £22bn and made no measurable difference.

So who is talking to that he thinks is Iran? The voices in his head? Actual humans?

So depressed by the barrelling damage that successive govts are doing to society and economy with their cynical immigration policies… From Brexit, to brazen racism, to the still-to-be-exposed scandal of exploitation of those on skilled work visas, to homelessness, to labour shortages… so much harm.

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

On World Poetry Day, here’s a reminder of the power of poetry and its potential to change the world.

These Led By Donkeys are not messing around. Listen and look for a few moments.

The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, Washington DC

Led By Donkeys nail it again with Donkey Trump in their sights 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well this took a turn www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Curse of private equity. US PE-owned dentists Raise prices. Stretch appointments for higher fees. Focus from prevention to lucrative restoration procedures. Unnecessary tooth extractions and root canals. High staff turnover Curse arrived in the UK. No curbs on profiteering, public abuse.

A very sobering example of the dangerous reality of having conspiracy theorist nutjobs in power. Owning the libs, feeling good about being racist and increasing speed limits seem particularly moronic voting preferences in light of the glaring risks of having nasty clowns in charge of governance.

Reform leader of Kent County Council has a history of making very dubious scaremongering claims about vaccinations and ultimately....she's running things during this current crisis www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

I just don't understand why nobody in his entire life appears to have told him to "get to fuck". If enough people did, he would.

Exclusive: Swimmers say Lake Windermere sewage caused life-threatening illnesses www.channel4.com/news/exclusi...

He didn’t even bother to inform his “allies” in advance of the attack.

This is also a lesson in why we should have stood up to Trump sooner. By trying to appease him we fed his belief he could keep on trampling over the rule of law and all rules of decency and sanity. 🇺🇸: You made him. You voted for him. Long past time you curtail and remove him.

It’s bound to go disastrously wrong when aligning yourself with people who lie as they breathe, are grossly incompetent, treat killing people and war as a video game and “quite fun” & will blame you for everything THEY do that misfires.

Palantir is such a great fit for the NHS.

Alex Taylor nailed it! #EmperorNero #IranWar

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

'The offence of bribery includes where someone directly or indirectly gives any money or procures any office to or for any voter, in order to induce any voter to vote or not vote.'

There’s no guarantee Trump actually believes this or intends on acting upon it. The guy will literally say anything to juice the markets and slow the chaos.

Someone on here yesterday pointed out that you can tell they didn’t see any of this coming because they would have done insider trades on the oil futures market if they had.

Who has the cards now?

This is A Good Thing, but I can’t helping but be struck yet again by how pointless and self-defeating it is for the UK to have to spend a decade or more of work and rebuilding relationships just to get to a position that’s still nowhere near as good as it was on 30th January 2020.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

So he bad mouths and lies about our forces, he threatens a NATO ally, he favours Putin & betrays Ukraine, says he would trample over Spain’s sovereign bases if it suits, he has started a war without Congress authorising & no Plan but it’s Starmer & UK threatening the special relationship.

Totally sick of this. You cannot have a “special relationship” with a demented old wannabe tyrant unless you spend your life grovelling.

Brian Allen Trump just threatened to cut off all trade with Spain — because Spain refused to let the U.S. use their bases to bomb Iran. Let that sink in. A NATO ally said “we didn’t authorize this illegal war” — and Trump’s response was to declare economic war on them too.

You treat your allies like shit, randomly set tariffs and then threaten to invade places like Greenland. Why would we expect our allies in turn to let us use their bases for a crazy as shit war in the Middle East?

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

THIS.
