This man rapes boys and girls. He might be the most foul and evil man walking the face of the earth.
He should be in prison, not shitting in a diaper in the Oval Office.

This is why everyone should ignore the stories about Trump's de-escalation. The administration is *not* pivoting. It is pretending to pivot until the heat from the public and Congress dies down. Meanwhile, on the ground, it's more of the same, with slightly conciliatory language before the cameras.

I'd also point out that the RECON voter base HATE LAB/GRE, so by 2029 merging would be an easy sell to that voter base. It's the 'we're not Tories of 2024' in reverse.

I'm working on the premise here that when push comes to shove, particularly given his age, Farage doesn't actually want to be PM.
He's spent his entire life shouting from the touchline without really having to deliver anything. THAT is what he enjoys.
