If your “special relationship” involves lawsuits, threats, and conditional investment, you might not be special, just… exposed.

On Brexit, leverage, Trump tactics and learning the hard way that when you exit the tent, sometimes a bigger, bullier country will come urinate all over you.

Dear Americans

We, in Europe, think you’ve elected a President that is a fuckwit, a very bad person and very obviously ill.

We do listen to him. With scorn.

And we wonder how the hell you did something so stupid TWICE.
President Trump claims that European countries want him to be our president as well

Is there anyone in the US who actually believes this garbage?

Gavin Newsom, "President Trump who calls people 'piggy' or 'retard' is he our role model?"

Why aren't others speaking out?

The silence from most Democrats and Republicans really is a damming testimony to how democracy has failed in the US

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

YIKES! Fox “News” host and Trump lackey Laura Ingraham just tried to tell a whopper of a lie to cover for Trump’s farmer bailout plan, pretending tariffs are paid by foreign countries. A community note fact check quickly corrected the record.

Given a) Farage's past; b) the expanding story about Russia and former MEPs; and c) media enthusiasm for "what influence is being bought?" questions, if anyone to left of Mussolini is gifted so much as a cup of sugar, why is Reform facing no such questions about Friday's £9m crypto-bro donation?~AA

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes".
