This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

More and more, the people who are part of the Trump Administration, and the people they then appoint, get weirder and weirder, like the clientele of the Wookie Bar in Star Wars. Have a look at this specimen...... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The scariest article you will read all week - Pete Hegseth's toxic mash-up of puerile, disturbed teen obsessed with death and Christian Crusader. Only Trump could have chosen this sleazy ex-Fox fuck as Defence Secretary and only this GOP could have approved him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

That's because MAGA is afraid of strong women. Just like they are of minorities, immigrants, LGBTQ folks, diversity, equity, inclusiveness, other religions, doctors, scientists, books, libraries, textbooks, colleges, protesters, protest signs, Epstein files, feelings, emotions, and counseling.

Why is Trump wearing that fucking stupid WHITE hat for the Dignified Transfer? Why is he not in black? Why is moron Steve Witkoff bobbing and weaving about? Why is Pam Bondi there?

"Hegseth is clearly so thrilled by the amount of heavy-duty hardware he is unleashing upon Eye-Ran and the Eye-Ranians that one can only be grateful that he is standing behind a podium, sparing us the sight of his priapic excitement".  Read www.wtffashionshark.com #Iran

In which we have a war that is not a war or is it, waged against Iran for all or any of a variety of reasons, and Pete Hegseth is beside himself in priapic excitement. Plus execrable fashion from The Brits and Jim Carrey's billiard-ball face. Another mad week in www.wtffashionshark.com

Trump is going to Delaware today to meet the bodies of the six soldiers who have died during the Iran War. He can tell the grieving relatives all about the new Ehite House ballroom

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Cricket’s revenge.

I won’t fault the guy because he doesn’t have a bachelors degree (Stephen Miller has a bachelors degree, and he’s second in command of Hell). Instead, I’ll fault him for being a partisan hack with no accomplishments. And also:

Cricket was the name of the puppy that Kristi Noem murdered.

What with the Chelsea game and tonight’s game against Brighton, I have aged about ten years and my blood pressure is off the charts. Yurgle. #Arsenal

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

Wait sorry what????

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

I swear Trump was about to nod off just then when the were reading the citation for the man about to get the Medal of Honor. And he was standing up - only horses sleep standing up. And Trumps. Get him off the stage, FGS!

That fucking idiot Trump is babbling about his beaytiful ballroom and how much Melania hates the constant drilling for 12 hours a day. One, he is supposed to be honouring the fallen and enlightening us about why he started a war against Iran. And two, Melania avoids the White House like the Plague

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger. www.paris.fr/pages/la-mei...

Babbling orange idiot Trump gives an incoherent interview to The Daily Mail about how long the US will bomb Iran.

If Trump stopped eight wars but started in Iran, does that mean he is now down to stopping seven wars?

Radiohead has issued a statement responding to the Department of Homeland Security's unauthorized use of their song "Let Down" in a recent social media video.

#CatholicBishops take stand against #Trump move to end Constitutional guarantee of " #BirthrightCitizenship '

In which the subject of a film about the problems of having Tourette Syndrome is criticised by offended thespians for demonstrating at the BAFTAs the problems of having Tourette Syndrome. Plus ludicrous red carpet fashion and Boris Johnson’s hair. Another mad week in www.wtffashionshark.com

The worst part about the Kash video is just how much of a DORK he looked like. Like a guy who for the first time was at a party with the cool kids and trying too hard

Instead of letting Susan Rice go from the Netflix Board, why doesn't the US let Donald Trump go?

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

Ffs! The Today Programme is absolutely determined to ignore football in general and Arsenal in particular. I am so tired of it.

Could people stop shouting mindbogglingly stupid questions at the Royal Family like “is the Royal Family in peril Your Highness?“ They won’t get an answer and they don’t deserve one?. Because that is not journalism it's just sledging #baftas

The US President, which does not offer free healthcare to his own people, wants his own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare. Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good. Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies. So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

What the fuck am I looking at?? What has happened to Boris Johnson?! #kuennsberg

They’ve taken Casualty off again! AGAIN!! They have room for crappy quiz shows and game shows but Casualty is always getting squeezed off the schedule! NOT HAPPY!!!

O.M.G. Is everyone in Florida mad, bigoted and obnoxious?

This is horrific and disgusting. The USA is hurtling into horror www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Look at these two “Christian” men wanting to execute women who have abortions. Barbarians

In which Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor gets a very unwelcome birthday present - did the cops rustle up a Jaffa cake with a candle in it? Plus the ridiculous RFK Jr works out in his jeans and a lot of celebrities look preposterous in stupid fashion. Another mad week in www.wtffashionshark.com

Hallo American people. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, né Prince Andrew, has not been arrested for paedophile offences. He has been arrested for misfeasance in public office, namely passing sensitive information to Epstein when he was a UK "trade envoy". Admittedly this came out in the Epstein files 1/2

This disgusting piece of excrement, Congressman Randy Fine, should be run out of Washington and forced to resign. But of course he won’t be, will he? They need his vote.

Love Senator Mark Kelly. A proper hero. A decent man. #newsnight

I loved Robert Duvall as an actor. He was great in everything but one of my favourites was when he acted with another acting hero of mine, Tommy Lee Jones, in Lonesome Dove. Together they were awesome.

In which the major players in the Epstein Files are brazening it out while their UK counterparts, and people who never even met Epstein, have bitten the dust. Should we Brits be proud? Plus the vile Pam Bondi and some very silly celebrity fashion. Another mad week in www.wtffashionshark.com
