not sure the government grasps the people on X who seem to be fine wading through far-right propaganda, porn, & user-generated abuse imagery would notice or care if government accounts closed

#eXit Soon

If We Don’t Care About Democracy, We’ll Lose It: An American president committed crimes trying to overturn an American election. And the American people put that president back in power. The problem isn’t Trump. The problem is us. The problem is the American people. If we don’t care about our…

If you follow this argument through to its logical conclusion there should be a UK Government channel on pornhub.

It’s unthinkable that Trump would take Greenland by force. But he could force a vote of the population offering them $10million each to hand it over. Of course they would never get it but once agreed it’s independence is gone. Europe must agree to defend it against hostile attack however unlikely.

The US has become an enemy after 80 years of relative stability in Europe. I am ashamed of my country.

Well done, she avoided “I’m not going to give a running commentary”, the stock response for fence sitters.

Thank god: a Labour MP able, and willing, to keep off the damn fence!

It seems he wants their oil and doesn’t care much about human rights violations in their country. Currently Russia and China are using Venezuela for their purposes. My guess is that they’ll push Venezuela to resist.

Mealy fucking mouthed twat

One word #eXit

I see Putin’s smirk, it’s falling into place for him, might is right is the doctrine. Xi too like a cat playing with the mouse that is Taiwan. Even the little rocket man is raising a glass. The world is fucked by a handful of men with power to inflict harm on the rest of us, we’ve learned nothing

Trump has driven a coach and horses through the global world order, in its wake western leaders scrabble to respond. They loath the man but realise that showing it will occur his wrath. What a world we live in! Add that to climate catastrophe and AI threat and I fear for my grandkids.

Presumably she betrayed Maduro, so her defiance will ring hollow when his supporters realise.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Waiting with bated breath to hear how Starmer plans his closer alignment with the SM, without accepting the basic principles. No, not really. He probably chose this approach precisely because he knows it won’t work. Gesture politics to try to stem the disquiet in the party.

Good interview Lewis

80% of Mumsnet users do not intend to vote Reform. But @lbc.co.uk is dedicating an entire hour on how "mumsnet users are turning to Reform"

substack.com/@aisha402525... Israel uses antisemitism as a weapon and we allow it!

substack.com/@jonathancoo... Hear hear!

substack.com/@tritaparsi/... Lewis doing the job of a journalist, others take note!

news.sky.com/story/uk-gov... President ________ Didn’t break international law by invading ________ He had the right to invade because his country’s interests were threatened. Fill in the gaps… Trump, Venezuela Putin, Ukraine

The irony is deafening.

The Museum of Strategic Missile Forces tells the story of how Ukraine dismantled its nuclear weapons arsenal after independence in 1991. Today many Ukrainians believe that decision to give up nukes was a mistake.

RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it. STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it? RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

Schumer terrifies me! When he threatens you with a slap round the face with a wet lettuce, he really means business!

Ha ha

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said the US is going to 'run Venezuela.' Under what legal authority? RUBIO: We want a better future for the people of Venezuela STEPHANOPOULOS: I'll ask again -- what is the legal authority? RUBIO: We have court orders

“The President is prepared to put boots on the ground in Venezuela, he’s ordered 50,000 pairs and they will be sent if he considers it necessary” Trump hasn’t realised that boots on the ground need soldiers to be wearing them!

..well nobody makes great TV shows about the painstaking 10-year slog from dictatorship to functioning democracy. Trump will, presumably, get bored with Venezuela quickly & need another hit of drama; who knows where from (he probably doesn't, so not much point me guessing). Happy 2026 everyone!

It’s beyond belief that Trump would take Greenland by force… …isn’t it?

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Brilliant!

Trump doesn’t give a fcuk for democracy, he’s ignored the winner of the election stolen by Maduro and installed someone who he thinks will do his bidding. Yet again he’s being played and the Venezuelan people won’t stand for their democracy being stolen again.

America used to think it had a right to rid the world of communism and fought two wars in pursuit of that aim in Korea and Vietnam, it lost both.

The absurd thing about the notion of the western hemisphere is the earth is round, there is no natural boundary to this area. It leaves the powerhouse of global economic development, Asia on the outside. Someone should tell Trump to look at a globe not a flat map

Apart from everything else, invading a country for oil in 2026 is somewhat like doing so for horses in 1931.

When Venezuelans realise the old regime is still in power they’ll be out on the streets and Trump’s audacious abduction of Maduro will be seen for what it is, theft of their oil.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

US chicken is chlorinated because America has no animal welfare laws where poultry is concerned. It has to be chlorinated because Salmonella and e. coli run rife The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2

Minor point: I really don’t like comment pieces written as if they were a speech. Just feels stylistically wrong. “Let’s be clear”/“I know people are frustrated — of course they’re frustrated”/“I understand that — but reject it”/etc

The thing about being a "lifelong advocate of international law" is you have to have the courage to speak up when it’s broken

And also

Been obvious for a while but implicit (perhaps even explicit) in Trump's 'Donroe Doctrine' bullshit today is a spheres of influence argument that is obviously very bad news for Ukraine, Taiwan and other small countries with disagreements with larger regional powers

Pretty much. "Head of State immunity for me, but not for thee."

The US Attorney General confirms Maduro is being charged with "conspiracy to possess machine guns" - something Republicans usually call a constitutional right.

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago
