So far only two men have made Jacob Rees Mogg look like a comparative genius whilst in conversation with him - Tucker Carlson and Ali G.

I saw the attached post from Blue Oleta and it really hit me how stupid I have been. Instead of owning recordings of music and films and TV programmes on CD and DVD I’m now expected to rent them on a streaming service. I’ve avoided this with music using MP3 players. And I never left paper books.

RUSSIA INTENSIFIES UKRAINE ATTACKS What worries me is that Putin knows that the freedom he has to act from Trump could be gone in January because of the midterms. Putin wants a legacy of restoring the Soviet Empire. It is a much more dangerous time for Ukraine and the small border nations of NATO.

I call him a RACIST. You take the P from RAPIST and replace it with a C and you get the word racist. I can do that because I’m like a smart person, a stable genius, and I know words, I have the best words. Of course, both apply.

CNN says “President Donald Trump has for years told false or unproven stories about what he supposedly saw and did on 9/11 and soon after.” Why don’t they call him a liar? And in the Oval Office why don’t they ask why he has lied about it? So they get banned. At least they’d have their integrity.

Seems like there's plenty enough to shut down DC effectively for months, if not years, until you get regime change.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

Luckily, the far right here in Brittland seem to be taking quite a few knocks lately especially after the reform conference this weekend. I mean seriously can you imagine any of those coffin dodgers trying to goose step down the road?

Scrap national insurance and add to general taxation paid by everyone including pensioners on income from all sources including capital gains, shares, inheritances. Make all benefits including pensions means tested. Raise personal allowances, the basic pension and minimum wage to livable figures.

Dolly Parton lived a life of service that we should all aspire to follow. She was a good woman who lived the core message of her bible: love your neighbour as yourself. And your neighbour is everyone, not just the rich ones, and not just the white ones, and not just the nice ones – everyone.

Reading was one of the earliest pleasures and enjoyment I can remember. And now towards the end of my life it is one of the greatest pleasures that remains. I thank all the authors who have given me search stimulation and enjoyment. They provide a service that cannot be overestimated.

You know Donald Trump is a bad person when he needs to use AI to create fake pics of him with Dolly Parton—and the DOJ to cover up real pics of him with underage girls.

Trump‘s support has not wavered when scandals have come out about adultery, porn stars, teen pageants, young girls, so what’s different about this Harp business? Is Trump‘s fear of releasing the Epstein files about something far worse? On a completely separate note doesn’t Harp look like Ivanka?

Why is there even a discussion about Trump‘s work ethic? He has no ethics at all so why should this be any different?

This is where we are, Folks “You wouldn’t even do corruption this openly in a country like Russia. You would not do that brazen, obvious level of corruption. This is like old school 17th century the King is always right and takes whatever he wants levels of corruption. Nobody crimes like this.”

Is there truly none among the super wealthy who are decent enough to decide to flood the media with ads contextualizing Trump quotations for the voters?

@parodypm.bsky.social Recommend Classic Chats on YouTube where Mary Beard had Count Binface as her guest. The Count would certainly have my vote if I lived in Clacton – although why I’d need to live there to vote I don’t know because I’m sure I’ve been there almost as often as Farage. Me? Never.

It would have been so easy to not have Trump. Six million Biden voters were too lazy, too uninformed, too racist, too anti-woman, too focused on their one pet issue to vote for Harris. Trump is worse in every way than any imagined Harris presidency could ever have been.
