Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

Trump: "Obama got a prize for doing nothing. Obama got a prize, he didn't even know what he got it -- he got elected and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our country. He was not a good president."

If Question Time was a boxing match tonight was Zack Polanski (Green) v Zia Yusuf (Reform).

And it was an easy TKO knockout for Zack.

I doubt he will be invited back on, Reform can't handle him and they own Question Time.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Trump just got Letitia James indicted despite insiders leaking that the case against her is incredibly weak. He had to get his handpicked stooge to do it. This only shows how corrupt the whole thing truly is:

HMRC is examining finances of George Cottrell, advisor to Farage, who he says is like a son

Cottrell was charged in US for
money laundering, wire fraud, blackmail & extortion. He conspired to launder millions of $’s of drug money using offshore bank accounts

No wonder he’s in bed with Reform 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

"Experimenter bias" refers to a mistake in scientific studies where the experimenter wants to see something, and so unconsciously designs protocols to prove what they want to see. RFK here provides an example, Let me explain what we might see based on this. 🧵
