I think people are forming an impression now that will stick.

He's already said it's a price worth paying

There's a delicious irony in the idea that she's been misled by all those right-wing troll and bot accounts

she's aiming for Hannan-level wrongness

Trump cancelling USAID is likely to lead to millions of deaths

Reform Ltd's subservience to the Trump agenda is going to hurt them in elections here, especially as it's apparent that Trump has dumped Farage

There's only so much attention he wants anyone to pay to it. He's got the big headlines and macho military action videos and now would like to move on before anyone notices what an utter clusterfuck he's unleashed

Perhaps they just thought that people could work it out for themselves

This. When it looks like the blowback is getting too much, he'll cut and run, declaring it the bigliest victory ever, no matter how much trouble he's caused, how many have died, and how much more terror will be unleashed as a result

so they see a 4-bit image while we see a (theoretical) 24-bit one?

do they see across a wider range of wavelengths than we do? I believe various insects such as honeybees can see into the UV part of the spectrum, for example. I also have a theory that cat fleas sense IR given how quickly they jump onto my bare ankles as I pass

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

Are the people grouped around Trump praying for him to receive a working brain?

I've been thinking (and hoping) this for a while

You can get buses around that area, just ask Andrew Tate

GIven Trump's betrayal of Ukraine at every opportunity you could be forgiven for thinking that he might be aiming to help Iran.

and our right-wing media, which drives those policies

Farage's proximity to Trump won't work in their favour

Reform Ltd is the spearhead of foreign interference in UK politics. Funded by foreign donors, leadership linked both explicitly and implicitly to Russia. They are the fifth column.

Aside from all the grift, I wonder if there really is something psychological in Blair, part messianic, part dogmatic, part self protective, that means if he admits his role in the Iraq war was a horrendous error & he is responsible for that, his entire sense of self will collapse like Jenga bricks

if the Telegraph thinks Trump is going after Putin, they're even more delusional than I thought

do you think that for even a split second the thought "they died because of me" went through his head?

Well, after Vlad explained so clearly how all those people carelessly fell out of windows, or found and ingested unusual poisons, it was clear he could be trusted

Is the photo a mass consolation for Trump not winning the Nobel Peace Prize?
