We can all see various irregularities in Trump’s health. We see him a lot. And he and his spokespeople are not being frank, which does not help.
But the medical pundits diagnosing him via TV should wind their necks in. That’s like trying to diagnose Tom Cruise by watching his movies.

Megyn Kelly having a pop at Kaitlan Collins is quite the thing. Kelly WAS a decent journalist once. Now she's a regime mouthpiece. And not even a top tier one at that.
Kaitlan Collins is a tough and extremely tenacious journalist. All this crap will just bounce off her.

So if I understand things correctly, the Prime Minister should resign because Peter Mandelson lied to him and the Prime Minister sacked Peter Mandelson for lying to him.

A polite reminder that Steve Bannon codified the "flood the zone/own the libs" tactics to which most people and most of the media still has no effective response some 10 years on.
His job is to roll the lawn for outrageous shit like this. We do his job if we run around screaming about him.

It's worth keeping in mind that over 1,000 girls are estimated to have been trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell.
There should be wave after wave of indictments. Grand juries should meeting around the clock.

This would be a more convincing argument if Trump’s definition of “can’t run an election” wasn’t just “won’t guarantee the outcome I stipulate in advance”.
Trump: “If a state can’t run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it, because, you know, if you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections. I don’t know why the federal government doesn’t do them anyway.”

Have you heard the theory that this treatment is to coerce refugees and those applying for citizenship to surrender their claims?
Where are the courts? If there’s any basis to this, we are now discussing cruel and unusual treatment on a mass scale - on US soil.
I don’t think anyone voted for that.

Without a Chief of Staff to deal out some home truths, or a DHS Sec. who hasn't been promised a pardon or an AG with any propriety this will end up as another Abu Ghraib - or worse.
Tacitly encouraging the mistreatment of detainees is a surefire formula for a mass atrocity on US soil.

Hmm. I wonder what it was of Woody Allen, Prince Andrew and Tina Brown that compelled Brown alone to see through and call out this cabal? 🍆
Maybe the women run things for a while, eh?
We’ve tried it with the men for, oh the past five millennia or so. Results are mixed - at best.

Go for it, Mr President. I mean, you’ll need to amend the Constitution but - as you never fail to remind us - you and your agenda are wildly popular with the *real* American public so getting 3/4 of state legislatures on board should be easy.
Off you go, then.
Chop, chop.

Bear in mind that the main motivation of soldiers is to protect and help their comrades. People fight for each other, not for a cause.
Letting ICE know how much it is despised is essential, but it has bred an esprit de corps around each other, their joint criminal actions and their racist agenda.

Remember how edgy and scared the cops who shot Breonna Taylor were?
I won’t defend ICE, but a lot of unsuitable candidates have been given hardware and told to make free. Then they’ve discovered everyone hates them and now they’re so pumped up and afraid that dead bystanders are almost inevitable.

Enough with the "Starmer has questions to answer over Mandelson" froth.
The Prime Minister *had* questions to answer, but he answered them last September when he sacked Lord Mandelson.

The fact that Peter Mandelson’s scandal-strewn career finally comes to a juddering halt on news he conspired with a convicted child Trafficker to help greedy bankers hold onto all of their ill-gotten bonuses is almost too apt.
