It's always alarming to read Trump comments about others when they are patently self-projection. Yes, I worry that "when crazy people have nuclear weapons, bad things happen,"
This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...
Ooooh yes
The planes not in Spain makin him complain
Ever since Trump began running for president in 2015, it was obvious he was BS'ing--that he did not & would not do the necessary homework to actually understand the issues and make genuinely informed decisions. This war with Iran is the deadly consequence of his ignorance, laziness and narcissism.
who made this
NYT: “.. the president capped an extraordinary day of U.S. aggression abroad by attending a glitzy fund-raising dinner at his club ..
.. a striking departure from how other presidents have handled the gravity of war.”

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default
“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck
Has there ever been a more graceless and divisive concession?

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.
You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.
Great match by Team GB in 🥌!!!
If you’re going to teach the world Italian gestures; don’t forget to teach ‘em “facciamo due spaghetti!!!”
"Where's the cue ball going....?"😔
This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
It was ten days till the wedding. The king still lived. But Buttercup's nightmares were growing steadily worse.

America will blow up NATO, go to war with our European allies, become weaker, poorer and more isolated just because an old, dying vulgarian is angry he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize he doesn't deserve and he wants a big piece of land that doesn't belong to him and Republicans refuse to act.

Farage's performative, exaggeratedly open-mouthed laughter pose in photos isn't the worst thing about him, but it's up there
I see that my energy provider is back on the grift. While I'm still in credit and we move to warmer weather-relatively speaking, they are increasing my direct debit because they expect me to use more energy as it gets lighter and warmer.
I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
Make it viral.
Starting the year as I mean to go on x
Happy New Year!🥳
