If Senators and Congressmen are worried about how the US would look if they impeached and imprisoned a mad President, imagine how you look if you don't. The French have, the S. Koreans have, the Pakistanis have; come on America, you can do it!

I find it hard to believe it's legal for a criminal to donate money to a UK political party. Usually they're in the party already ...

Hey @andyburnham.bsky.social do something useful and make it illegal for non-UK-citizens and non-domicile-uk-citizens and commonwealth citizens to donate money to uk political parties. Sincerely, British citizens.

What is it about media that whenever they talk about something 25-30 years ago or more and show pics/videos, they automatically turn it into sepia or black/white?

I always thought Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged was strange. A weird dystopian view on what she believed capitalism would become. Today, it is one of the three great books that explain today's world (1984 and Brave New World). As mad as it sounds, those books are here now.

Burnham mentioned a major reform of our education system. A good point might be to teach children how to live; how to cook, how banks work, how to pay bills, how to actually do the things you'll need.

Given the US military has bombed schools, conducted an illegal war, kidnapped a country's leader, killed another etc., clearly the ideals of not following illegal orders isn't widely adopted by the US military. What then if he pushes the nuclear button on a whim? Will it be fired only in defence?

It's often the simple things that count (or should). MPs should be required to have paid tax for at least a year. MPs should be limited in how many terms they can serve. MPs should be held accountable for lying to the public. MPs should be disqualified if they have a felony conviction.

It should be a law that MPs should live in their constituency. It should be a law that MPs should be paid the minimum wage. I'm even happy to consider term limits for MPs. We can arrest Lords and Princes and aren't shy about it, I don't think the above three paragraphs are beyond consideration.
