ABC Oz Saturday Extra US/UK politics round-up with @kattybkay.bsky.social & @jonsopel1.bsky.social

Scott + 2 Republicans disapproved of Trump's video? He is sane washed by media. #EpsteinFiles dropped outer circles, not Bannon, Russia, #Trump & #Farage vs #Mandelson -> Starmer?

Is Tim Scott really acting surprised Trump is racist now? Actually I notice he’s blaming “the White House” so his hero Trump can fix everything for him.

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that Mandelson was a key figure lobbying for Labour NOT to hold a proper inquiry into Russian interference in our elections. His closeness to Deripaska and others would have come out

The Kremlin. Silicon Valley. MAGA and the European far right. Israeli intelligence....

..So many of the names in the files are subjects of long-standing interest: Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, Oleg Deripaska, even Peter Mandelson..

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?

No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

Farage is named in the Epstein files, Starmer isn't, but somehow the media seem determined to force Starmer out. I wonder why?

Bannon (and his buddies) are using an informational strategy called reflexive control that intentionally exploits the reaction of his adversaries (on the left) to inflict damage on their own side. Don't become an unwitting agent in their information operation.

Every time Trump praises Putin as wanting peace, Putin bombs the living shit out of Ukraine to make Trump look like the lying, compromised old fool that he is.
Isn't it time for Trump to send real tough negotiators to Moscow instead of pansy boy Jared b/c Putin devours weakness.
