By different I mean not the ones who took over after the ones who were running it before because we killed those so some other ones, different ones, but not regime changey ones.
He's so pleased with his gf's job isn't he
They won't be able to pivot to 'we stabbed Trump in the back' either because they'll have to stick to the line that it was a stunning victory.
I’m pretty astonished Badenoch and Farage both decided to get lockstep behind Trump as he walks off a cliff.
The Red Wall won’t stand for not bringing the Shah back
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + We just concluded a very good meeting with the largest U.S. Defense Manufacturing Companies where we discussed Production and Production Schedules. They have agreed to quadruple Production of the "Exquisite Class" Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity. Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way. We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela. Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels. The Companies represented were the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months. States all over the Country are bidding for these new Plants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Another one not written by Trump but which shows how much he’s been stung by the analysis that the US is running out of munitions.
Can’t be a big bully if you’ve only got a tiny stick.
The reason he stood is so that he can write pieces like this.
Not many records left in football but winning the Champions League and getting relegated in the same season is still there for the taking.
Indonesia suspends its participation in Board of Peace
“Indonesian FM Sugiono said the decision to suspend participation was taken because of the latest military escalation in the region, which has directly affected the foreign policy priorities of countries involved in the initiative”
Obama on Jesse Jackson: "The message he sent to a 22 year old child of a single mother with a funny name, an outsider, was that maybe there wasn't any place, any room, where we didn't belong"
These disembodied comments are so odd. Obvs the guy down the road in DC has got global energy supply throttled by antagonising the guys next to the tiny bit of water it all comes out of. So the economy is not in a reasonably good place, no.
Another way of putting this: the US constitution failed to do the main thing its framers intended - to prevent charismatic monarchy and imperial domination. It's been overwhelmed by money, partisanship and changes in media technology.
I am glad that Bluesky has now captured all the best parts of #rstats twitter: dank memes, sick burns, hot takes, and flame wars.
Becoming a truism but remarkable how the many dimensions of Make America Great Again are making it poorer, making Americans die younger, and cutting it off from what the world has to offer.
America is recommitting itself to fossil fuel vehicles, meanwhile Chinese cars will soon be able to recharge in the same time it takes to fill up at a gas station
Show this to anybody who claims the president has little effect on the economy.
I saw a goose flying backwards, a squirrel recount verses of Horace, and here is Simon Jenkins with a correct take
Note that the electoral side is that important given how awful this proposal is but... I am sure the sight of sobbing children being handcuffed and dragged onto planes will boost the Government's standing with the progressive voters we're losing.
Fuck. This.
Not quite sure what it will take for MAGA to see Putin as an enemy.
I’m just…staring at this
"I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' withtout the fear of getting cancelled... its a new dawn"
We should never ever forget why they did it
Used to be essential pc monitor props back in the day
Why is the national security advisor there lol?
So you don't heave a missile into an elementary school, then fire a second missile into the school to finish off the survivors is why a professional military engages in dumb, politically correct rules of engagement. But no, American exceptionalism > 175 schoolgirls.
This will manifest in other states' domestic politics similarly to Dem opposition to Trump in the US, with the left-right axis replaced by the fight-cave axis.
For now, sunk costs and potential reprisals make balancing against the US too risky. But as the costs of caving rise, that will change.
No more insane than the video promo mash up from the other side.
Must read piece.
'The US has started a war without any legal, moral, strategic or political basis whatsoever. And yet instead of raising the alarm about it, the British press’ main question is why Britain is not more involved.' And 'Is Iraq really that long ago?'
Chance that your house might get blown to pieces? Nah can’t see that affecting property values not at all.
Important to seek clarity today on whether Home Office and No 10 will try to defend - or will now withdraw - a false+misleading claim applying settlement reforms to 2022-24 cohort saves £10bn
Not just overspinning lifetime saving in 30 years time
Gvt policy doesn't save maybe £8-10 billion of it!
Science likes to picture itself as a republic of letters — open borders, shared standards, disputes settled by evidence rather than passports. Merton (1973) coined this ethos as CUDOS: Communalism, Universalism, Disinterestedness, and Organised Scepticism.
