The utter preposterousness of this interview. A media figure talking about BBC bias while describing the president as his "friend". A child could see trough it.

Joshua refers to the BBC having a “choice between saying sorry and paying $1 billion”. There is also the option of doing neither and defending any claim, wherever it’s brought

Seconded. Fellow Americans: I’d explain the concept of “TV license payer” (I’m also one), but you wouldn’t believe me.

Perhaps the BBC could offer Trump one of his beloved deals: they'll apologise for broadcasting sections of his speech, if he apologises for trying to overthrow an election, lying about the result, pressuring election officials, urging a crowd to "fight like hell" & pardoning those who did just that.

Our British cousins could use some reassurance. As Rozenberg writes, they're wondering if Trump could succeed in US court. If @kenwhite.bsky.social or @aricohn.com or @questauthority.bsky.social happened to have the time to provide their expertise, it would help the Special Relationship.

Even better: you'll get to the point where you don't even have that thought, so you won't have to get to the "wait a second/fuck 'em" stage. I'm planning some stuff for 2026 that I'm going to LOVE. It hasn't crossed my mind whether, at my age & appearance, anyone will think I look silly.

The NFL welcomed me back to the Homeland by staging nighttime soporifics to help overcome jet lag

We’re up to 11th. I attribute this to the school’s moral fortitude in standing up to Trump.

Somehow, I’m missing the old Tories

Ed Martin wants to stop state regulatory authorities from disciplining DOJ lawyers for breaching the rules of professional conduct. Not because the regulators are doing anything wrong; because, as prosecutors mentioned in this article recognized, doing Trump’s bidding is sometimes unethical.

Few people know that Trump's undergrad degree from Wharton was in quantum electrodynamics. Which was VERY cutting-edge when he graduated in the mid-60s. (No, I can't explain what magnets are)

Giants are in for a metamorphosis

I gather from a @davidallengreen.bsky.social skeet that Trump says he’s going to sue the BBC for a zillion dollars or pounds or whatever. So damn predictable. Though he may find that it’s harder for the BBC to pay a bribe-settlement than it was for CBS.

Okay we've got fours hours until this place is just a flood of posts about 'The Dems' again. Let's enjoy it.

Happy Monday everyone!

Per several reports in Israeli media the former IDF AG is hospitalized following an attempted suicide earlier today. Very few details, but she's apparently conscious and in stable condition.

I’m putting this on a sign so I can tap it when people ask me when I, a self-employed American in England, am going back to the Homeland.

I remind myself that it’s only about a fifth of the Democratic senators who must have decided to defect, so the large majority of the caucus could only either try to make it seem like a consensus decision & try to justify it or leave the defectors on their own & make them own it.

I thought I knew about football, but this confuses me

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

I didn’t sit in two planes on the tarmac of two airports yesterday for more than an hour just so Democratic senators could pull an Emily Litella Fuck each & every one of the capitulators. It’s a big tent, but you do have to be willing to stay inside it.

“We’re winning. But if we don’t forfeit, we might lose. So let’s throw in the towel.” If this is accurate, he has to go. They had a rare chance to accomplish something while the other party controlled all three branches, & he decided not to try.

Looks like a white Gen X guy. I’m sorry. I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. I’m just so proud.

It’s a good thing my German-Jewish refugee grandparents aren’t around. You wouldn’t have liked Oma when she was angry.

The claim originated on a satirical news site called the “Dunning-Kruger Times.”

I like to help my British & European friends understand US politics, but this one is flummoxing me. All I’ve got is “because the foreseeable consequences of their original decision not to cave have now occurred,” but that makes them sound stupid, irrational, & extremely bad at politics.

I DEMAND Panorama IMMEDIATELY produces a documentary showing Kamala Harris not instigating a violent riot, not sexually assaulting anyone, or getting fined for denying it, or being found guilty of business fraud, or f*cking a porn star AND accepting the result of an election. You know. For balance.

I can’t believe the policy folk on the Hill are actually, seriously talking about doing this. If ANY Dem is considering capitulating in exchange for this, they need a vertebral transplant

Speaking as a middle-aged white dude, don’t be such a whining, pathetic, loser, Bro. It’s not masculine; it’s embarrassing. For the umpteenth time: men, including “high-testosterone” men, are not oppressed as such. If AOC or whoever your Democratic bogeys are were in charge, we still wouldn’t be.

Glad to see the BBC showing the same fortitude as CBS News. A tenner says Trump has asked whether his people can find English lawyers to sue & scoop some more unearned millions.

Fellow Americans: he’s not making this up. As usual, events in Britain are the farcical echo to the US’s tragedy

No more noble British tradition than resigning over some nonsense everyone is only pretending to be angry about rather than all of the actually bad things you've done.

Heritage: Not only pro-Nazi but also anti-Black! They really do offer something for everybody. Except Jews & Blacks & other undesirables, but that could go without saying.

So where’s Trump holding his Kristallnacht celebrations tonight? Is Melania handling decorations? A parade? Special commemorative menu at Mar-A-Lago?

A draft of DOJ’s closing argument to the jury in the Comey case

I continue to oppose the Goyim Defense League on the grounds of grammar

Trump: instead of insurance to spread risks, give everyone a few thousand bucks to pay directly for health care—not insurance. Those who get sick will go bankrupt & die in the street. Those who don’t will see the money disappear unused. This is the MOST rational interpretation I can give his text.

This is going into my conflict of laws class slidedeck.

Six months later: No! You can’t make me!

I honestly wasn't expecting the Revolution to be a bunch of middle age liberal wine moms following Kristol, Goldberg and Conway and a handful of barely post-pubescent socialist elected officials down the path of an internationalist popular front. Just really interesting. Really really interesting.

Some good lawyers & good people have belonged to Fed Soc over the decades. At this point, anyone attending this convention & staying after Blanche's rant is…possibly not at least one of those things.

Post you from a different era …whaddya mean, that’s not what they meant by “different era?”

I’m not sure my fellow Americans realize what a momentous day this is FREEDOM!

I’ll just say it again, since this has been a bugbear I’ve ranted about for years on social media: administrative stays are bullshit

In the 1980s, when he was a middle-aged public figure with a high profile, did Trump say the US government should boycott SA because of the widespread killing & torture of Blacks by the state & their being banned from about 90% of the land? I wouldn’t want to think he’s being unprincipled or racist

Cops refusing to respect elected civil authority doesn’t strike me as great for democracy or public buy-in to police legitimacy
