I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

Why Is the Media Not Touching Jeffrey Epstein’s Clear Connection to Israel?

They’re instead focusing on the possibility that Epstein was a Russian asset, writes @premthakker.bsky.social.

Poor Wes Streeting, the establishment's own greasy careerist leader-in-waiting, feels "betrayed" by someone known within political circles as "The Prince of Darkness" since he was Labour's Head of Communications in the mid 80's.
How did he miss that? Prick.

"Trump is a raging ball of racist, power-hungry id. He means what he says, he says what he means, no matter how ludicrous, monstrous, or completely untethered from reality. So, yes, Americans should be very, very concerned about his expressed desire to “nationalize” elections."
