people kinda just hate bait-and-switches is the general trend tbh.

there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

Israel attacking Turkiyë and forcing a showdown over article 5 is a situation made in a lab to drive the Reasonable Thinker caucus into Lovecraftian madness

tbf this was very much so said in the british context, where people like Farage/Matt Goodwin, definitely have this applied to them by credulous media/political personalities

i mean ngl this is also someone who actually firebombed a walmart so i don't blame someone for being "well, fair game."

to be fair, not exactly great look that Starmer has spent almost a year sucking up to Trump who is arguably as prominent in those files as Epstein himself

Ok so somehow the funniest of all scenarios has come to pass

They’re rushing to rehabilitate themselves because they’re afraid the thousand year Trumpreich won’t happen after all and they need people to take them seriously when they complain President Inoffensive Normielib is Stalin after he says they have to pay taxes to fund the Mild Healthcare Reform Act.

If there isn't a single question about Sarwar's own friendship with Mandelson during this press conference, we just need to abolish the entire Scottish press pack and start again, so don't let me down folks

Somehow funnier if she decided to bail once it was leaked and he’s being forced to walk the plank

He’s gone by the end of the week.

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Heavy agepol in favour of more liberal/left leaning parties seems to be mostly an Anglosphere thing and it’s kinda weird

Here we go again loool

isn't Streeting basically fucked given how deeply enmeshed he is with Mandelson as well

Right that the prime minister has resigned. His successor, Keir Starmer, has a very difficult inheritance.

The sheer level of age polarization in parts of the anglosphere compared to everywhere else in the developed world is genuinely kinda fascinating, yeah.

"I know better than you how to defend core British values" says the man who just minutes earlier apologised for appointing Peter Mandelson to represent core British values in the US

Peter Mandelson wearing a Jeffrey Epstein -branded sweatshirt in New York in 2009.

"My Jeffrey Epstein-branded sweatshirt has people asking a lot of questions which, now I come to think of it, are entirely reasonable."

OK, I appreciate I’ve said this before for separate reasons but: Starmer must resign. Starmer must resign. Am I going nuts?

How many more can there be lmfao

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

The folks who got mad at us for noting that Something Awful's forums were the origin point of our present-day American political dystopia in a recent Retronauts episode owe us a massive apology

wasn't his domain expansion famously mocked for being translated as 'Malevolent Kitchen' in one localization but it really makes perfect sense given everything else he does and his tendency to play with his 'food'.

I think the conspiracy theory about a global elite pedophile ring orchestrating the great evils of society that broke the minds of 30-40% of Americans originating on the message board likely created at the behest of Jeffrey Epstein is a bit much

i love dragons and unicorns so much.

cue, "shithole but my shithole"

in like 20 years

not really. burnham is pretty milquetoast in the grandscheme of things.

don't see it happening but it'd be -very- funny
