A felon whose sentence Trump commuted in the final hours of his first term has been sentenced to 27 months in prison after being accused of a range of criminal conduct — including physical and sexual assault — since Trump freed him.

Jonathan Braun had a long history of violence.

This kind of influence by a political appointee of the Johnson government, with a strong partisan record and reputation, appeared a Faustian pact imposed on the BBC by the government of the day. Its striking that this attempt continued after a change of government

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:

One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

The BBC is hopeless at reporting on itself. The idea that a minor, if misleading, edit is the most serious crisis in its history is ludicrous self-absorption, even allowing for the context of a Faragite desire to break it. It's certainly not as serious as the Iraq-Gilligan crisis.

If only the US had Brazil's Supreme Court. If we did, like Bolsonaro, who also attempted a coup, Trump would be in prison.

Trump has granted pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts in attempting to overthrow American democracy.

I begrudge Trump and his regime, the air they breathe. For the Democrats to capitulate on the same eve as Trump being mercilessly boo’d at the Commanders game, emphasizes the need to change the leadership and old ways of the party. The public is literally screaming for new ways in place of tradition
