I don’t know what’s more implausible here: that Keir Starmer laid a devious political trap or that he did it to help Andy Burnham.

“… culturally British by my standards?” Which Æthelbert died and made Jenrick King of the Britons?

This is less surprising when you learn that the candidate he defeated was Genghis Franco Ted Bundy Vargas.

Seems unsporting that they’re allowed to lie imo. Should have to tell you if asked directly. Like undercover cops.

26 days out from the midterms, the president is laser focused on the issues.

Patrick Andelic @pkandelic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I should have clarified. My point was they don't have the capacity for 'seizing ballots nationwide,' whatever they think that means. Besides which, seceding from the Union, defending a regional bloc, and trying to force a negotiated peace is not the same as whatever conflict they're imagining.

Yeah, I’m sure the “we’re super good at winning wars” gang have got a great plan for the civil war.

Patrick Andelic @pkandelic.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I don’t want to sound complacent, and it’s not beyond them to try *something*, but they do not have the capacity to do this. They couldn’t subdue Minneapolis after flooding it with federal agents.

Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

The Norwegians used three Peace Prizes to insult George W. Bush (Carter, Gore, Obama). They need to rediscover that hater energy.

Ah, no, wait. I stand corrected. Must have missed this one.

I know Kemi Badenoch is a 'visibly hasn't done the reading' politician, but I did not ever expect the reading to be Michael Bond's Paddington series.

I would assume that, historically, the typical applicant to the DOJ's Civil Rights Division is a particular type of person and most of them have (correctly) concluded that their careers would be very brief or very unfulfilled working under Todd Blanche.
