A very dangerous precedent being set by Todd Blanche who will probably be Pam Bondi’s replacement at DOJ. He is lying. DOJ investigates high profile cases. The reason DOJ will NOT investigate the Good murder is they know a fair and through investigation would find Ross committed murder #ProudBlue

About the US "leaking information" to russia being "proven" due to a fictional LCI report that doesn't exist:

As Trump declares economic sanctions against most of Western Europe, for refusing to let him just annex a Danish territory, even the most loyal of his followers must surely now be thinking, you know what, maybe he was a Russian stooge all along?

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

The closer America gets to outright fascism, the more it emboldens people who were always Nazis to openly revel in their hatred of those they consider subhuman.

We cannot allow Donald Trump to undermine NATO. He seeks to shift the focus away from Ukraine and takes us back to a world where 'might makes right'. I welcome the UK Government standing up to Trump over Greenland.

The rule of law seems to have completely broken down in the US.

⚡️ Russia welcomes Trump's tariffs on NATO allies over Greenland as 'collapse' of alliance. "The transatlantic alliance is over," Kremlin economic negotiator Kirill Dmitriev said.

I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset, just that I can't think of anything he'd be doing differently if he were.

Reminder of the spectacularly poor judgement of these people

Farage was well enough to post on X this morning but too “poorly” to appear on Kuenssberg where he’d have been quizzed re his good mate Trump hitting UK with 10% tariffs.. I’m betting he will be well enough tomorrow to fly to Davos, which previously he derided as a “jaunt for globalists” 🤥

Logically, nothing can grow if it does not exist.

BREAKING: Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom:

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Catastrophic stupidity supported by all the people who are now grovelling before Trump: Farage; Gove; Hannan; Frost; Stanley; Johnson; Traitor to UK democracy all.

Donald Trump threatens 10% tariffs on UK and Nigel Farage who has positioned himself as the president's best mate in Britain drops out of a much promoted interview on the BBC. Strange. Almost like the two things are connected.

If Farage was ever to become PM, Trump and Putin would have a poodle to help damage the EU and isolate the U.K. even more than Farage’s Brexit has already achieved.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

"Under the weather" is a funny way to spell "chicken"

Tour guide at Mar-a-Lago: ‘If you look up in the far right corner, 3 rows down, you should be able to see President Trump’s European Figure Skating Champion Trophy of 2022. Below that his ‘Neatest Handwriting in Class Award of 2013. Oh & there’s his FA Cup winners medal etc etc’

This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

I know there’s going to be a lot of people up and down this country waking up with the dread that the Orange buffoon might destroy their livelihoods. Hundreds of thousands of jobs rely directly & indirectly on free & open trade with the US. Trumps rantings are a direct threat to these people.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Excellent thread by @maxbergmann.bsky.social . I think this is the crux: “why cave to keep a security commitment that is not real?”. The strategy of the EU (& even more the UK) has been to treat Trump as transactional: give him something eg on tariffs & get a security guarantee in return. 1/2

Hard to see how more wrong the geopolitical case for Brexit could have turned out

Hey Mooch! We need you to post everything here, too. Most of your podcast listeners are here now! @scaramucci.bsky.social

It’s weird that Trump can stand up to allies but not Russia

This Justin Webb article is becoming as infamous as Hannan's "after Brexit" one.

People going missing is a really bad sign.

Protests in Greenland and Denmark. We stand with them. Resist! ✊ FDT!

Flood the zone they said. My God is this zone flooded.

Mafia takeover of America complete. Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Gaza Board of Peace they will have to pay $1 billion to be permanent members.

There is always pleasure in watching the torture of people who are wrong about everything observing the consequences of their stupidity. With that in mind, I'm looking forward to Professor Niall Ferguson's take on all this. They really thought they were the Greeks to MAGA's Romans, the morons.

I could not tell the difference. My only ongoing question is to what extent he is malevolent and traitorous, vs how much of it is just being mindblowingly stupid and narcissistic.

1. The tariffs are paid by US consumers 2. Greenland isn't for sale 3. Go f**k yourself

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats. "The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said. “Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

Trump ended US taxpayer support for a European ally fighting an imperial invasion - and then charged those same taxpayers additional tariffs to support his own imperial aggression against another European ally.

Such judgement

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic. We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.” And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies. If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO. Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. (1/2)

every provocateur who wangs on all the time about Britain being “broken” should be sent to an actual failed state or autocracy for a month as a learning experience, there’s no shortage of them

There are going to be limits to what you can make other countries do by threatening to tax your own citizen's purchases of their products. I believe handing over entire territories falls well beyond those limits. 🤷‍♂️

Spiralling.

Alex is right. This feels like a big moment, like NATO has suffered cardiac arrest, or at least the US's membership of it. If we're attacked by Russia Trump ain't doin' nowt.

Not to forget, one of the reasons given very recently not to ask for negotiations on an EU Customs Union is we would lose our wonderful trade deals with the US (and Australia and NZ).

Anybody still think Brexit was a good idea, to "free" us to trade with the US? 🤔
