My son was wearing a "Vote Reform" t-shirt and an "I love Nigel" baseball hat. He's been spat at, abused, slapped around the head and told he's a brainless twat. God knows what's going to happen to him once he gets out of the house...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Man, MAGA are really sticking it to the woke transgender mob, heh? You suckers.

It is now being reported that Infantino is speaking to the White House to "shore up his position". Please. Do he really think some Truth Social sabre rattling about tariffs or NATO or whatever is going to save him? Threaten away, Mr President. Nobody's playing your reindeer games this time.

Is this an “Iran is begging for a deal” day, or an “I’m going to bomb them at levels not seen since WWII” day? Sometimes it can be hard to keep up.
Another copy and paste MAGA play. The WH briefing room is stuffed with suck-ups. Reform has one policy: hostility to immigrants. And it has one tactic: play the victim.

They Haven’t Abandoned Their Beliefs. They’re Just Uncomfortable With the Spokesperson. Trump may finally be losing some of the people who voted for him three times. Trumpism is another matter. By Tony Pentimalli
I've never actually seen Max Miller speak before, so I'm going to assume a slurring, glass-eyed delivery style is normal for him and he wasn't drunk when filming hs domestic abuse denial.
Every time I see RFK jnr raving about the shortcomings of medical experts or challenging vaccine efficacy, I always end up in the same place: ok, but why should I listen to *you*? What are *your* credentials? If you want me to have doubt, why shouldn't I also doubt *you*?

The American flag should file a restraining order against Donald Trump.

It was always unlawful, under the Highways Act 1980. But I don't suppose Suella would know that, being a lawyer, MP and former Attorney General.
The only thing protecting us from the malevolence of the Trump regime is the incompetence of the Trump regime.
I have no idea what President Obama is like in private. Nor do I know about the circumstances of this comment beyond it being an entry in Dr Fauci's diary. That said, the former President doesn't strike me as a person to use an expletive quite so casually. When he swears, I bet it has impact.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”
These people are desperate for a crisis to exploit. It's pathetic.
It should be a whole lot more than an embarrassment. They hoodwinked a grand jury. Those responsible should be investigated by the DC Bar.
Mike@mike-umbkm.bsky.social · 5d ago"You don't charge first and then figure it out. You get the information first and then charge. ...So it's a true embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro. It's a true embarrassment for DOJ. And they brought it on themselves."
I wish I shared Secretary Reich's optimism. To me, the fact that one in three Americans still approve of President Donald Trump is nothing short of catastrophic.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 5d agoTrump's approval ratings are at all-time lows. He's flailing on the economy. His "little excursion" in Iran has become a forever war. Even Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. He's a failed president.
Ridley Scott speaking with received pronunciation is quite funny. A lot of celebs with regional accents get heat for playing up their provincial roots in older age. But I suspect the reverse is true: that accent is authentic. It was the earlier code switch that was the artifice.

Anne Applebaum has some interesting things to say about Russia its former empire. I'm pleased to report she hasn't missed a vocation as a movie critic 😜

I like it when these populists do something worthy of criticism, get criticised for it and then get upset that the criticism - rather than the decision - has made them unpopular with voters.
