Can someone kidnap Trump and run the US till a proper transition takes place?

Ok my one prediction for 2026 is that there won't be a 2nd FIFA peace prize... unless Putin or Xi want it

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

Wild times

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

but her emails

The United States can only begin war with another country through a declaration of Congress. The President’s actions are unjustified and unconstitutional. Military attacks upon Venezuela and the loss of life and property must end immediately.

America sure does love forcing regime change and often with little to no plan on what to do next.

keir starmer: im waiting for morgan mcsweeney to tell me what to say.

It means absolutely nothing to anyone concerned right now but here's what the United Nations says about kidnapping Heads of State. legal.un.org/ilc/texts/in...

Days like this are a stark reminder that the UK undertook Brexit at historically the worst possible moment. Bloc politics is here to stay and fiddlearsing about with 2mm advances towards smoother customs arrangements with the EU is not the leadership Britain needs.

Time and again, improving city centre streets for people leads to stronger retail demand and higher sales: "Plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street are translating into a sharp rebound in retail demand, retailers have been racing to secure space and vacancy is now at its lowest point in two decades"

The Pentagon needs to be reminded that the 'just following orders' defence didn't work in Nuremberg.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Always nice to recapture the original meaning of "parking" - www.deeproot.com/blog/blog-en...

Still radio silence from FIFA regarding its inaugural Peace Prize winner Donald Trump bombing Nigeria and Venezuela this week. When will Infantino be commenting on his ‘personal friend’?

Jan 1. Jan 3.

Under Irish law Musk can be jailed for 12 months for being a director of a company distributing CSAM. Section 9 of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998. 'X' is a company registered in Ireland.

And if the USA doesn't stop bombing other countries we will send them a strongly worded letter.

A gangster state at home, a rogue state abroad: and entirely because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional roles.

Britain left the EU because people told us we had greater security and financial relationships with the USA. Happy now?

After having slept through all of the wake up calls so far, maybe this one will jolt Europe out of its state of denial? Instead of wasting time on bootlicking, Europe needs to turbo boost its integration and de-risk from the US asap.

Venezuela - a question I asked in the #HouseofLords last month. Hoping we will get a stronger, clearer reaction this time from the UK government about the US attack, which cannot conceivably be legal under international law nataliebennett.org/latest/venez...

same thing for fines/impoundment for cars illegally doing taxi services, vs Uber doing it at scale

A lot of money to be made in unprovoked military adventurism.

Big question for Congress as to whether they will care about their own constitutional role (or, indeed, care about anything at all) I fear we already know the answer to that

Trump just illegally bombed Venezuela and sent in troops without congressional authorization. Innocent people are going to die because this demented bastard wants to waive his tiny dick around to force a regime change.

President Peace has bombed Nigeria, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Iran and now Venezuela. As well as murdering fishermen in the Caribbean and Pacific, and stealing oil tankers. All in the last 12 months.

Good morning to all the "I voted for Trump because I wanted America out of all those wars abroad" people.

Trump’s America is a rogue state. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

How many times do people need to be told that X is not a trustworthy platform?

Hi Charlotte. Some thoughts here that might help. bsky.app/profile/geor...

The Government coming off X is the bare minimum and realistically at this point I think we should seriously be looking at taking enforcement action against the company, in line with the Online Safety Act and VAWG Strategy. I will be pressing the Government on this when Parliament returns next week.

Forgot to post this one

If only billionaires suffered consequences. And the irish authorities (like their counterparts elsewhere) weren't in thrall to the same consequence-free billionaires

Leave X to the bigots and the perverts and the trolls. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One funny thing Elon Musk figured out about the media is if, instead of providing comment to reporters, you email back an automated reply saying "go fuck yourself," the reporters will just invent their own plausible-sounding defense of your conduct to balance their stories instead of punishing you

NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed. futurism.com/future-socie...

“It turned out, the ATMs didn’t know how much money your bank account had. So if you asked them for €1,000, you got €1,000. This turned out to be particularly popular amongst people who would like €1,000, which is one of the larger demographic slices in the country” www.thegist.ie/the-gist-cap...

Her case instantly made 1 in 6 Britons 2nd-class citizens including not only me, a naturalised citizen with a British grandmother, but my son, the British born child of a British born father – because theoretically he has access to Australian citizenship via me. The Begum case MUST be overturned.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

I know the EU is still on holiday (complimentary) but we should see the same speed of response here. And what happened to Minister Patrick O’Donovan’s plans to protect children on the internet, now X dot com is generating actual CSAM of real children? Is he only interested in surveillance?

I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

This is true, having this type of image on your phone is, in and off itself, an offence even if it was put there by an algorithm. Just leave Twitter/X and delete your account, don't run the risk.

There is a strong argument that X and its officers are committing offences by providing Grok's nudifying function in Ireland.

A murderer is on the loose in NYC. He killed a man, 25 years old, immigrant from Ecuador, who was just walking home from celebrating the New Year. His weapon was an SUV, so this gets treated differently from other killings. He may get a ticket— for fleeing.

Is anyone surprised? Even if it was a 1/10th the price, who would buy it, and why? Honestly, they would have to give them away to have any sort of take up.

State bodies still be using X.
