at one point during the campaign jd vance was indignantly talking about haitian asylees in ohio and said "illegal aliens don't become legal just because the government says so" and i've been mad about it ever since, and this is the key to what he actually meant
The way to understand this, I think, is that everybody knows that when Trump or Vance says "illegals" he's not talking about legal status, but about social desirability, and so people think that that distinction goes both ways.
These people are just crazy. Trump gets up and says "MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS" and they're like "he probably means a path to legal status for deserving immigrants"

Labour MP Andy McDonald says it will be 'end' for Starmer if he does not 'own the error he's made'
The Labour MP Andy McDonald told the Today programme this morning that it would be “the end” for Keir Starmer’s leadership if he failed to persuade backbenchers that he will change the way he operates for the better.
McDonald said:
If [Starmer] doesn’t own the error he’s made, and recognise the problem in front of it and articulate it and tell us how he’s going to deal with it, then I’m afraid it is coming to an end – if not today, but certainly in the weeks and months ahead.
He’s got to convince the PLP tonight that he’s got it and a change is necessary.
And the change that he promoted was no other than to purge the left, and it’s got us in this terrible mess that we’re in now.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xusvyqwadkmbbd67hz7eyeqj/bafkreihz5xtkfu264glvgnbfqx4ge5thubmlpmlsn6sg3hi6zt7uvayuhi@jpeg)

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

It’d be more accurate to say Starmer was elected by lying like fuck to audience after audience about his intentions, and it looks very much like a big chunk of the press were very well aware that he was lying and declined to inform the public. In that sense, yes, Streeting is the natural successor.
