Keir Starmer is utterly pathetic. Trying to criticise Trump's lunatic Greenland ranting, whilst refusing to criticise Trump himself.

Starmer is still labouring under the false belief, that Trump is rational, and you can reason with him. Trump is an actual psychopath and narcissist i.e. he's irrational.

Farage, is a chickenshit coward.
Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.
When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

Great point from Jamie Raskin. That if pre-judging the killing of Renee Nicole Good as murder is wrong, then it is equally wrong to pre-judge it as self-defence. Trump and all his regime asserting it was self-defence, based on outright lies, are unfit for public office.

I am sorry for the clunky way I had to explain this. It is full of typos. But I had to close off every false avenue, that slippery Orwellian liars like Trump and his acolytes use to hide their knowing lies. If the media does not skewer Trump over this, they are covering up for Trump.
The murder of this woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, throws into sharp relief what a liar Donald Trump and his acolytes are. Trump claims to have watched the footage and seen his run over an ICE agent, deliberately, using her car as a weapon. We can all see from the footage, that's untrue.

Yes, there is a whole argument to be had about the legitimacy of countries demanding territorial rights, on the basis of history, ethnicity, language. But this is what separates what Trump is doing. The US has no historical territorial claims to the countries it wants to annexe.
Can anyone name any other major power, since WW2, that has openly spoken about annexing, invading or occupying large countries or territory, that it had no historical territorial claim to?
This is how unprecedented, Trump's deranged behaviour is.

Those who think I'm exaggerating, need to have a good deep think about what Donald Trump is demanding. That neighbouring countries submit to being colonized, with the clear threat of military action, if they don't consent. There's little difference between what Trump is doing, and what Hitler did.
I think we need to recognize that Trump has gone full Hitler. Not since Hitler and the Nazis, has a world leader of a powerful country, openly made it clear that they had ambitions to annexe large parts of the world, their country had no historical territorial claims to. There is massive denial.
