There’s no such thing as far-right. It’s absolute. You’re either a fascist or a non-fascist. Republican; MAGA; right; far-right are fascists, as are their voters.

So Bezos is in them too then?
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

I want to note how careful Mamdani was to not smile in these pics.

When I noted during the Biden presidency how he repeatedly kept smiling in the wrong moments, Biden diehards lost their minds.

Do not give people propaganda victories by smiling in photos.

Example: Biden with MBS in Saudi.
President Trump just now:

“It was a Great Honor meeting Zohran Mamdani the new Mayor of New York City!”

Happy #Anthology4 day everyone. €27 for the double CD might seem like a lot, but it's cheaper than what your correspondent paid for Anthology 3 in 1996. (IR£22=€28).
