And so the UK gets to go through a couple of years of mental bat shit insanity
Reform will fail and they will be out of government
But they will cause significant damage like Trump has in the US
Can’t voters ever learn

The US Presidency really is a Kingship barr in name only. An absurdly, stupidly powerful position that has gambled on luck that no one truly evil, until now, has occupied.
Start there. Nerf the presidency. Take away pardons. Disallow SCOTUS nominations. Impeachment is immediate removal.

Like Nazis who supported the Third Reich, it's going to take more than a lifetime for MAGA Trump supporters to wash the fucking shame off themselves. 😳👇

Personalized gold bars from the Swiss.
Used jumbo jet from Qatar.
Huge amounts of $$$ from crypto.
The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Farage has nailed it in his little flouncy response to Starmer's speech...Yes, it's against everything you stand for...of course, because you're a nasty divisive little man. We want none of it. We want Starmer's version. 🎉

Not a single person stood up in the audience and called Trump on his bullshit. I even let myself believe a general might decide enough is enough, and declare out loud what all of them were feeling. It's shameful. Their number 1 duty is defending our democracy, but all of them said, "Not today."

Farage is a deeply unserious person. How anyone can believe this moron could lead a country needs to give these head a wobble. He is the one who destroyed our country with his perpetual lying about Brexit and immigration.
