Optimistic Enthusiast for humanity, worried by how dismally clueless our species still is. We're barely out of the primaeval mud in truth, yet we strut around behaving important More soon - very recent joiner escaping the damaged political Twittter.

The Pentagon plans to livestream an execution. The GOP's far right condemns Islamic extremism while embracing its ideology: public executions, religious influence over law, restrictions on women's rights, anti-LGBTQ policies and censorship. It's basically sharia law with blonde hair.

@bbclaurak.bsky.social LAURA.. not using your BlueSky account ? Just to say your interview today (Sun 11 Oct) with KEMI was MASTERFUL --- you looked like the ultraexperienced policy expert, & SHE the clueless beginner trying to explain why taxpayers should BANKROLL millionaires' childcare 👍

tl;dr: The US gets what it already has, Greenland and Denmark get to stop wasting their time on the US or meeting with half wits. Trump's goal was full control of Greenland: goal failed.

So Trump gets told, "You've won, Sir", and the rest of the world just gets on with what it was doing.

PRECISELY. We have (for some time perhaps) moved into the zone where his handlers know what a DIM BULB he is- AND, they want a quiet life. They know the US ALREADY HAD options from Denmark to keep on all the bases it had there 50years ago; So they "wrote it up" to tell him he'd won everything again

All Hail the creative Danes,who finaegled Trump & his cronies in two different ways: a) Trump is TOO DIM to grasp Denmark already offered the US all the bases it needs / all of which it already has options on; b) Trumps' handlers know this/ want a quiet life: so "wrote it up" to keep him quiet :)

REMEMBER PARENTS: as well as being able to KILL your child, Measles can also leave them BLIND. Vaccines are one of the great successes of 20thC medicine. Go READ about it. Ditch the antixvaxx BULLSHIT from social media and the lunatic RFK/ get your vulnerable kids VACCINATED FFS.

'Immune' from what ? We have a Parliamentary system where the Government IS EMPLOYED by the PEOPLE (same as yours) - but ours works properly and is not bankrolled as a billionaires' SLEAZEFEST like the US Congress is. We THROW OUT OUR LEADERS REGULARLY: 24hrs: *GO*-REMOVAL VAN IS OUT FRONT.

GarytheEconomist (see yt) has summarised this clearly: he points out that NOT taxing billionaires leads to the whole population being subordinated to the 1% owing everything. This goes back to GHENGHIS KHAN and is the basis for all.past Colonialism.

Optimistic Rationalist @rationalist44.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
That could be transformed into a very effective wealth tax: SELECT one billionaire annually on a random basis, let them save themselves by donating 95% of their wealth into a national charity run independently of govt for the benefit of the people. 😄

America just doesn't realise how far its drifted from what Europe sees as normal politics. They dont even have leaders for their parties: there's no shadow cabinet / no "Opposition" as we know it in Europe. No European democracy would tolerate a crooked grifting scumbag like Trump is for >

I LOVE the way Putin OPERATES the "professional middle finger" in some of these meetings. WitlessWitkoff and Verylongstreakofpiss arrived arround middle of the day... but Putin was not free to meet with them - he was busy *opening a Sports stadium* :) He fitted them in in the evening... 🤣

Simple enough- his new $8M wig (made of pure gold thread) blew away in a gust of wind and was Sucked IN by the air intakes of Marine One / shredded to dust in the turbine. So a local navy lieutenant lent Trump his. He's a little greyer ..

Did you notice that NOWHERE in Elon's S-1 prospectus for SpaceX, does it mention the words "Kessler event" .. something there is an increasing risk of, as Elons massive 10,000+ Starlink satellite continues to grow. Not mentioning a massive risk to a business in a prospectus is illegal...
