The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

The (intellectually and morally corrupt) Republican majority of the Roberts Supreme Court is guilty of creating death, destruction, disorder and illegitimate disturbance not just in the US but across many parts of the world. They are ultimately co-responsible for many crimes against humanity.

Regarding Bacon's comment, provided to @jaketapper.bsky.social (which I screen grabbed b/c you don't need to see Trump's post for the 403rd time), I do think it's important to note this is a 62-year-old man who has been in Congress the entire time Trump has been president.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

There are two distinct issues. 1. Are you a pretty strong leader? if so 2. In which (political and social) direction are you leading your people? In Trump's case, into the fires of hell.
In his interview with us this week, Donald Trump denounced leaders in Europe as “weak,” provoking retorts from politicians across the EU.
But ... Europeans broadly share the U.S. president's view, our first POLITICO Poll has found.

They have allowed him to dominate through weak analysis and reaction.
Trump’s return as US president is far more significant for voters in Germany, France and the UK than the election of their own national leaders, according to respondents to the first international POLITICO Poll.
Trump dominates democracy in Europe, international POLITICO Poll shows
Europeans share Trump’s view that their leaders are weak — at least compared with the U.S. president — and see him as more decisive.
