Here's a way to liven-up that boring Xmas party...
Pretend you're scrolling thru the Epstein files on yr phone and suddenly scream "HOLY FUCK !!! HOW'D *THIS* GET HERE ? BONDI PROMISED SHE'D REDACT IT !!! Oh wait...
my bad...not me after all..."

The only straw I can grasp from Trump's truly degenerate response to the Reiner murders is that one day, hopefully very soon, we'll all have the chance to pen a few carefully considered words of our own to mark his long overdue passing.

Watching an intvu with this yr's Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado, and marvelling how Trump could possibly have been mentioned in the same breath as this modest, unassuming - yet steely - woman as award winner. The right person thankfully won. The wrong person thankfully didn't.

Remember that 'ceasefire' Trump claimed to have negotiated between Thailand and Cambodia earlier ths year, in his endless bid for a Nobel Peace Prize ?
They're fighting again...

If/when the Dems manage to regain complete control of both Houses, their #1 priority must be tamper-proof, future-proof legislation to drastically reduce Presidential powers/privileges to ensure this yr's shitfest can never be repeated by any person/party. Ever.

Convinced the US is now a giant Robert Altman film. The US Pres nodding off in the middle of a cabinet meeting right out of Nashville/MASH. Altman would *so* appreciate the dark, dreadful comedy the US has become. Mock Trump mercilessly until he cracks. Unhinged rants are signs this is happening.

Bloody Hell ! This is *seriouslySERIOUSLY* good.
Stop whatever it is you're doing and watch. And repost.
This needs to be shared across social media.

Q from a non-American...
Are any...(or how many) major US media outlets are outraged and/or giving major prominence to Trump bombing boats/machine-gunning survivors...and pardoning a major narco figure planning to import 400 tons of toot into the US ?

If I hear a US soldier/sailor/pilot referred to one more time...JUST ONE MORE TIME... as a 'Warrior' I'm going to mercilessly hunt down whoever's responsible and projectile vomit over them.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There's a certain grim humour surrounding efforts to keep the Washington shooter alive, so he can be put to death.

OK - so thanks to global time differences, I get my first daily Bsky hit when the US is asleep - and have to say Tue is off to a pretty good start. Really does seem the US is now at Trump/GOP breaking point *and* with plans for challenging/resisting current status quos.
Good start ! More please !

This goes along with my brand new article. This 9th-grade girl shouldn’t have to school Megyn Kelly about child rapists like Epstein, yet here the hell we are.

So I assume we're going to eventually reach the point in the Epstein sex trafficking case where Trump starts claiming that the REAL victims were the rich men who were *clearly* seduced by unscrupulous young women pretending to be of legal age as part of an old-fashioned (not crypto) honeypot scam? 🙄

The BBC has told Trump he can sit'n'swivel as regards his $billion law suit. Sorry about the bad edit - but that's about as far as it goes.
Wonder what'll happen next...?

Next time a GOP time-server starts ranting on abt 'ANTIFA', could some plucky journo plse ask for...uh...clarification abt what they think 'Antifa' actually means, and if then being Antifa identifies you by definition as being pro-fascism. Or 'Profa' as those of us who are tremendously hip call it.

Guess who'll be firing a few of his people for not suggesting this. Or if they did...wishing he hadn't decided he was too busy....or didn't want to meet a bunch of old losers...
Guess who did this not because he had to...or because someone told him to...but because he wanted to...

OK...so...here's the deal...
You get yr choice of either Australia...or Canada. TBH, they both hate us, and we're not crazy about them either. Esp Australia, who always beat us at cricket. Which Canada doesn't play. (Sez a *lot* abt them...)

The fevered excitement in the US about getting ex-Prince Andrew to tell-all about Epstein could be made a lot clearer if the celebrated client list was published.
Now...who could possibly be the best person to make that happen ?
