DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 9hI don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that the next few weeks could be some of the most consequential of our lifetime. Big history happening right now. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 11hFeels like Putin must be getting desperate and is calling in all of his debts. Increasingly willing to risk exposing his puppets, it’s not just Trump. Pressure is being applied and the masks are falling. 161 6
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 13hThe last week before the midterms could be insane. Anyone with dirt on this administration and a bone to pick will have been waiting for this moment to twist the knife. That could range from disgruntled staff to foreign agencies. In return we will see what he’s prepared to do to stay in power. 070 7
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 14hHe’s spiralling. Since his last term all of the remaining “adults” have been kicked out of the room. There are no guardrails any more. It is getting worse almost daily and I’m betting we are nowhere near bottom yet. Most consequential elections of our lifetime. 010 1
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 16/10/2026Ukraine should list the people who were killed as a result of those actions and publicly ask the US administration to name the person/people responsible for those deaths. 082 8
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 15/10/2026How committed to their authoritarian takeover of American democracy are they? The crunch could be just weeks away. Accept the loss of both houses or deny the results? That's the moment. It may hang on perceived consequences. Walk away rich with all grudgingly forgotten, or jail. We will soon know.. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Media will ignore all of this as word salad from an unserious man. That he is POTUS is irrelevant It seems. But he will blatantly lie about a peace deal that nobody has been involved with and it will get “Trump’s Middle East peace deal is thin on details, but we analyse what that might look like…” 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Fair enough. I guess it’s safer to know all the facts before passing judgment, as you rightly suggest. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The guy is signing to the tiger in makaton. The sign is “naughty”. Every chance they had learning difficulties and wanted to make friends with the tiger. They were also seen in headphones pacing up and down before the incident, so possibly autistic. So not that humorous on reflection. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Which would have been a better description by the BBC than “Trump wants to announce a deal - no matter if details are thin”. “Details are thin”!!!! It’s complete bullshit BBC, and everybody knows it. Start calling a spade a fucking spade. 010 1
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Would have been easier to just say “Trump forces the United States to bend the knee to Putin”, but there you go. 020 2
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026But why would they have reason to do that Marco? Unless of course they have committed crimes…. 0100 10
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Eloquent, succint and true. It is sad, but after this criminal shitshow is over it is going to be a while before the US can begin to look the rest of the World in the eye again. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Utterly devoid of shame, dignity, class and grace. Just pitiful to witness. 060 6
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If folk stories have taught me anything, then Trump will one day drown alone in the lake of gold coins that he will have amassed through his greed and corruption. 010 1
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 06/10/2026To my dying day it will remain a mystery to me that those people who go to watch him aren’t just stood there thinking to themselves “what a fucking twat”. 020 2
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This is my problem with the media, his actions and words are considered ok by the standards of Donald Trump, when the point should be that they are unfit to be the words of the President of the United States of America. 2302 30
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I sometimes wonder what would have happened to the World if the development of nuclear power had been left in the hands of a few sociopathic ultra-wealthy industrialists. But we didn’t. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026All of these things he comes out with remind me of when you were little and someone in your class was bragging that their Dad could lift a car over their head. Exactly the same vibe, except this isn’t Ian Harris or Jason Stoodley, it’s the current President of the United States. 030 3
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Just throwing it out here, but if the President and his gang aren’t happy about people quoting words that he has spoken, maybe he should consider his words more carefully and not just say any old shit that pops into his head. What with him being the President of the United States and all that. 001 1
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 23/09/2026“Give them enough rope….” If that is their tactic, then frankly they can shove it up their arse. 010 1
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Their unwillingness to call this out and stamp on it baffles me. My only feeling is that they think that the worse it gets the more people will turn away from Reform and they think that outcome is worth it politically. An abysmal position but the only way I can make it make any sense. 051 5
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Given that Trump wants us to believe that the Democrats could only possibly win by cheating, does he also claim that all of the pollsters are part of the same criminal conspiracy? Perhaps he should be asked? 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Perhaps they could question instead why they still defend a man who promised them that he would be stopping that war on day one of his Presidency? He was pretty clear on that. Maybe the fact that he is an habitual liar is part of their problem. Maybe they should dwell on that a little more. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My personal belief on the broad difference between the Left and the Right is the capability for abstract thought. A major part of that is the ability to empathise, to separate yourself from your own lived experience and understand and sympathise with that of others. It helps with art and comedy too! 040 4
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You can see that photo reappearing some years from now and above everybody's heads will be a caption listing the crimes that they committed and the number of years they are currently serving. 020 2
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Old Testament levels of hubris going on here. And those kinds of stories never end well for anyone. 040 4
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Oh I mean COME ON. The whole "every accusation is a confession" thing has really not sunk home with them yet has it? Gee, a "weird, deluded freak on a keyboard" really Natalie? She is now in the spotlight and her best response is "I'm not....YOU ARE!". They are like children, they genuinely are. 050 5
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If they told the simple truth “Trump lies again”, it would be the only headline every single day. I can see why that would soon become problematic in terms of drawing in viewers/readers, but it would be more honest and might eventually lead to change. But then again, who knows anymore? 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 10/09/2026He’s not “paying” anyone anything in reality. What he’s actually saying is that his charge for remaining in control of both houses will be 1.3 trillion dollars, chargeable to the United States of America. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Translation - “I only respect people whose sole ambition is to get as rich as possible regardless of the damage that causes to those around them or the wider society that they live in. Everyone else is a loser.” 021 2

DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 29/08/2026At the end of the day, Trump is just a deeply obnoxious and miserable old man. The only reason he holds any power is because people allow him to have it. That is a choice. He is a symptom, nothing more. They tolerate him because he is giving enough of them what they want. This is on them. 000 0
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I can’t tell you why, but for me it’s that writing that makes a beautiful picture something more... 150 5
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 24/08/2026They have only two questions in their negotiations - can you be bullied? And can you be bribed? If the answer to both is “No” there literally is no plan B. 130 3
DavidL @dizzyl.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It is completely surreal. You could never have persuaded a younger version of me that this was in any way a credible reality. 140 4
