$38 trillion debt and rising fast in an international environment where he's made the US much harder to trust enough to confidently buy US bonds (although many still will as they're not trash yet). Bond discounts forcing interest rates higher. Debt interest soaring. Good job.

Taco is back baby!

You sure it hasn't already?

I managed to get through almost 70 books last year. I've decided I need to reserve more time in 2026 for reading.

MP Mike Amesbury punched a constituent so Labour is a terrorist organisation. I think the phrase "clutching at straws" comes to mind and no rational argument will change closed minds.

It seems that Trump is hell-bent on dollar devaluation by any means. He thinks it will make the USA more competitive. He's an idiot.

NOT banning it after xAI merely made the offending feature premium would undermine ALL of the "online safety" legislation that the Labour Government has enacted recently. You can't on the one hand claim to want to protect people online and then leave women and children exposed to abuse online.

Sanctioning "Britain" rather than the United Kingdom could get messy. I'm just assuming that she's uneducated though.

I deleted my X account months ago. Even having an account is tantamount to condoning it. I am horrified that so much of the UK state uses it still.

There will be opposition to a ban though.

When you've f*cked your economy and only the tech companies' share prices are propping up the S&P index.

It's now very clear why Trump has been such a failure in business - he's a simpleton.

"Rather than do my job I'm grifting."

If the US breaks from NATO then the other members no longer need to be interoperable with the US. All that international defence spending that has poured into the US that has kept it technologically ahead of the curve, gone.

Need to re-negotiate those leases for those military bases too remember.

Feb 2025: This is financially bad for me
Jan 2026: This is financially good for me

In defence of being 60+ and angry about everything, those in this age group were brought up with a free press that wasn't funded and manipulated by tech billionaires. They still believe that the press tells the truth.

"Man failing to run his own country decides to run someone else's too"

Just have to wait for some other country to indict him then I guess. He's got a good record of shooting himself in the foot, so there's scope.

But if he's on a state visit.......

Trump has been indicted. Convicted even I believe? Does that make him fair game for arrest?
