Hope. Yeah, I have some today. Nigel Farage and his collection of right wing Russian adjacent xenophobes got smacked by a teenage plumber, who happens to be female. And of course they are already crying about cheating... Yeah Nige. You got stomped by an empathetic working class girl. Now. Sit. Down.

Some days I get cranky.

I mean, what did he expect? www.politico.eu/article/wash...

Currently she's getting slated by the right wing Farage as incompetent, demeaned as 'Rachael from accounts'. Yet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I thought the US didn't need NATO? nypost.com/2026/02/19/w...

A local dog has missed out on a historic cross-country medal at the Winter Olympics despite a lung-bursting surge in the homestretch.

And just like that, I'm a royalist. Being Irish, that knocks me into a state of existential uncertainty... Fu*kit. Right is right no matter.

TBH, I hope he gets the best council he can. I hope he has a full and fair hearing. I hope the CPS proves beyond a *reasonable* doubt in a court of law. In public, and I hope I can stand by their decision. *EVERYONE* has that right.

I'm giving up. I can't beat this.

Where I come from, nobody is above the law. Yes, if they can arrest him they can arrest anyone. That's kind of the point though isn't it. www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...

Yeah. Rubio's speech did not go down well. Neither did his meeting with Orban. Or his ditching of NATO leaders.

After Rubio's speech? Yeah. We're on our own. Good luck everybody.

To my friends in the US, beware of taking the ICE 'drawdown' as a win. That's not to detract from the bravery and patriotism of the people of Minnesota, - It's to warn against complacency. These people don't think normally. I feel they think they've made their point.

UK pledges to send £540m worth of weapons to Ukraine - Europe live

btw, Man Utd’s last starting 11 had the following nationalities: Belgium, England, Argentina, England, Portugal, Brazil, England, Ivory Coast, Portugal, Cameroon, Brazil

Let me get this straight, Pam Bondi insists that we should talk about the DOW being over 50K. - Ok, She wants to remind us that the rich and powerful people who raped and trafficked kids as you as *9* without consequence and remain free... Are getting sooo much more rich and powerful.

I never thought I'd say this. Thank you Joe Manchin. When the Dems wanted to nuke the filibuster he resisted. Now it's one of the few tools giving them leverage in the Senate. A case of broken clock or not. I'll take it.

I'll say it again. When this is over the reckoning needs to come. It needs to be *biblical*. It needs sane people to look on and say: "Woah - That might have gone a little too far." Children should grow up learning 'MAGA' is synonymous with A. Singularly. *BAD*. F'n. Idea.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Yes, it appears that Europe is looking into the Epstein matter. But don't get too far over your skies, - The primary evidence (the files) are still property of DOJ. - So we can do quite a bit, but I guess it won't be a fulsome as the *years* of data collected by the US. You need to keep pushing.

Well thought-out summary.

Excellent news.

BRAND NEW TRASH TALK! The latest episode of my award-binning podcast is out now, featuring special guest @_SeanOGrady from the Independent. Get it here. pod.fo/e/339469 Expect fireworks, like these! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjNK...

Why are shooters writing their intentions on their rounds these days....? Is it a sponsorship thing?

Ever think that the rapture might have actually gone to schedule. And none of them qualified....? Apparently it's true; "Jesus 'aint say that."

My Grandpa is 100 and fought in D-day and he thinks Stephen Miller and Tom Holman are the right men to sort the US out. In the next few weeks he's going to auction off his medals and donate all the money to Turning point USA. He expects to get quite a lot for his Iron Cross

So, Sept. 23rd is rapture day. The second coming. Jimmy Kimmel just got reinstated. Ergo: Jimmy = Jesus. Heck, it's as direct a link as the one between Tylenol and Autism.

I'm referring to these types as: "Kelvins" -n. 1. Absolute zero. 2. Opposite of hot.

I can't help thinking there was another message yesterday the pundits aren't picking up on. Bringing *all* of those leaders along said "We can do this with or without you. Yes your assistance although appreciated is not necessary. And BTW, leaving now? Looks a lot like surrender.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

You know...It really is that simple.

There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

OMG BAAAAHAHA

I mean, how do MAGA not see this guy for the pathetic loser he is....

Just a thought....

For anyone who might think Trump has any cognitive ability left? Get a *transcript* of an interview, ANY interview and try to read it. You'll quickly come to realize it's like a jigsaw puzzle except some pieces are damaged or under the couch, or from a different puzzle and the dog ate the corners..

Jeez. Ya think!? www.msn.com/en-us/politi... “I feel cheated,” Murkowski told the Anchorage Daily News Friday. “I feel like we made a deal and then hours later, a deal was made to somebody else.”

Yep. Pretty much...
