“No less an authority than the United Kingdom’s former Prime Minister, Liz Truss”
That’s a real sentence that someone wrote, which made it into Trump’s legal filing.

🚨David McLennan is Reform UK's first elected councillor in Scotland. He won a by-election in Whitburn last week.
He claims to be a retired police officer, but David actually left the force after being charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, we reveal tonight.

Immigration into the UK is now far too low and still plunging. We'll all suffer for it because of the hatred and fear spread online. Seems that's how life works now.

Our first and clearest policy towards Trump should have been to disentangle ourselves from the U.S. as much as possible. Cut the dependency. Align ourselves with Europe.

Congratulations to the Deep State on their cover-up on this footage, because I can guarantee you that any elected Republican asked about this – especially in relation to outrage at anyone not showing decorum over Charlie Kirk – won’t have seen it.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

This line rankled in the Beeb's write-up of tributes to Rob and Michele Reiner.
It flows into Trump saying the deaths were "very sad", as if it were a tribute like the others.
And as for "a swipe" - 90% of Trump's post was mockery and boasting.

“Trump has done a Trump. Surely *this* will be too far for America.”
I mean, no. The ‘80s weren’t too far, the mocking of disabled people wasn’t too far, the sexual assault brags weren’t too far. Epstein relationship wasn’t too far.
This is what America is.

This: liberal constitutional orders are precarious. And they certainly are not inevitable.
💯, agree. I think for lots of people who have grown up in relatively safe and supportive environments, they can be fooled into thinking that these are the natural conditions of the human species. They may not understand how much work it takes to preserve those conditions where people can thrive.
