To fight communism, America bombed Laos more heavily than any country ever in history. It lost. It took in the refugees who managed to make it out. Now it has changed its mind and is shipping them back. What kind of government does this

i.e. in the view of Trump's BS they both ought to be accountable for something they didn't make but did allow to be published. Personally, I don't think something supported by UK residents ought to pay out to a fraudy billionaire with a record of supporting an insurrection & a connection to Epstein

New figures show the teetering state of the Russian economy:
In October, oil and gas revenue is down a whopping 27% year on year.
But also as important, revenue from all other sources is falling too, down 4%.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

It's like watching one of those 18th century chess machines that were designed to make you think they were an automaton...but weren't (e.g. the Mechanical Turk)

do think it's a specific phenomenon though - when I interviewed a local GOP guy in South Carolina last year all he wanted to talk about was Tommy Robinson, and the New Jersey Republican woman I voxpopped last month was (racistly) obsessed with Sadiq Khan, it's all online rot I think
Can only conclude that the very online US commentators’ obsession with bashing the UK is the equivalent of a mental comforter to deflect from dealing with things closer to home.

There’s also a zero percent chance the real number is 3 trillion
So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

This kind of thing, btw, is one of the reasons I think it's right to use the (admittedly ugly) word 'Brexitism': there are multiple recurring threads linking Brexit to post-Brexit politics/ culture wars. So many things which aren't about Brexit per se are in/directly connected to it. 3/3

Russia has joined the attack on the BBC. It's becoming clear that what is happening is not a criticism of a mistake by the BBC, but an international fascist attack on British democracy. You only have to see the extraordinary number of trolls unleashed on X to know that's what is happening.
