He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

1. Researching this week’s column, I felt that I understood at last just why, on so many issues – benefits, Gaza, environmental and planning laws, anti-protest laws, bank deregulation, fiscal rules etc - Labour is out-Torying the Tories. Why it has become so cruel, so destructive and so spineless. 🧵

I feel like a bad person when an innocent person asks in my bird watching group "what bird is this?" My eyes roll when it's obviously a 'Rufous-headed hornbil' ....sigh.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Herman Melville's "Moby Dick" has perhaps the most memorable opening line in all of Western literature: "I hope you motherfuckers like reading about whales"

Cowboys really are America's team, both are run by an old fool that surrounds himself with nepotistic and or sycophantic hires, each less qualified than the last.

Prince Harry’s barrister, David Sherborne: ‘At her trial in 2014, Rebekah Brooks said, “When I was editor of The Sun we ran a clean ship.” 10 years later, when she is the CEO of the company, they now admit, when she was editor of The Sun, they ran a criminal enterprise.’

Lost my dad recently, every so often I send him a WhatsApp message, log into his phone and read what I've sent him. Seeing the two blue ticks in the bottom corner meaning that's he's "read them" makes me feel like he's still with me.
