I think we’re several years past the point where “Whoops, it was just groupthink again, silly us” is going to cut it as an explanation for one avoidable shitshow after another, don’t you
The entire Trump admin should go to jail just for starving Cuba, because their boss wants a good headline.

People like this fought for a decade to impose this abysmal wanker on you and they aren’t even pretending to be sorry, because they are not sorry. They meant it, fuck you.

He was just as explicit: give us huge amounts of money and go fascist, or else. The only possible response is: power-fuck that straight up your arse while you fuck off. Anyone not saying that, is your enemy.

They’re fascists, they’re demanding Europe pay them huge sums of money for weapons and go fascist ourselves. The only acceptable answer to this is: fuck you.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Let me be more explicit about this: Gabriel Pogrund is scum who should be hounded and pelted with rotting fruit through the streets like Cersei Lannister for reading out the shite he was sent by Morgan McSweeney as a national emergency. He knew exactly what he was doing then.
This is exactly the shit all of these wankers swooned ecstatically over and broadcast as a national emergency, when it was the left who were the targets. Fuck these people now they’re clutching their pearls at being targeted. Fuck them right in the face.

This is exactly the same shit the same journalists gladly engaged in when the targets were the Labour left and every single one of them can fuck themselves in the eyes, ears and anus, if they want to get precious about it now.

Junior staff copying their bosses, who were too stupid to realise they should accuse the party’s media assets of treason. It’s amazing stuff.

I would add: everyone from Steve Reed to Tom Watson has been absolutely open throughout about “We cooked up some bullshit dossier of Facebook comments by members of the public and passed it to the Times, so they could stoke an idiotic national panic”. They are proud and open about what they did.
These two things are the same thing: some Labour right dickhead compiling a dossier of idiotic smears and then sending it to a third party to make it look neutral and independent. It’s *literally the same journo* who published the smears, and then got the same smeary treatment.

Watergate was a disaster because they went after the Democratic Party, and McCarthyism went kaboom when drunken Joe tried that bullshit on the army. These are real people who actually matter. You can do this to the scum, to the pig-people, and the lads will eat it up. But not to real people.

Predator: Badlands is absolutely ludicrous, but I’m enjoying it anyway. It continues the good work from Prey, that these dumb movies can be fun and exciting.

I’d underline here: this is one of the junior dickheads watching Steve Reed wreck his own party by drafting idiotic dossiers full of Facebook comments by members of the public, then passing them off to the Times to be presented as Shocking Revelations. And this guy has thought: I could do that too.
Big mistake here: they’ve foolishly tried their shenanigans on real people who actually matter

I say again: these people are the enemy of humanity, and indulging them is the worst possible policy. It encourages them to get worse and demand more. The only way to deal with them is to tell them to jackhammer their nonsense up their backsides, and to fuck off while they’re doing it.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.

A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is very good: it’s good fun, it has sympathetic characters and a clever setup so it doesn’t really become clear what’s been going on or where it’s going until about four episodes in. It’s well done.

There’s an old Iannucci sketch where a guy accidentally nails his hand to a wardrobe he’s making. Rather than admit to his wife that he’s done it, he pretends to be working on it all night. In the morning, he takes the wardrobe outside and puts it and himself into a skip, and is taken to the dump.
New blogpost: After Starmer - The PM will almost certainly resign this year. His legacy will be a leadership contest shorn of politics leading to electoral oblivion. The Labour Party has entered the terminal stage.

Really helpful about what the Epstein class is, here: it’s corrupt officials from captured political parties turning their connections into money, by acting in concert with donors and various billionaires including straight up criminals, to buy up whatever is left of the postwar settlement.

It occurs to me that this part may not be well understood outside Britain. Yes, this is what happened. I assume most places have their own equivalents of it.
Particularly in Britain, where the political/media class were absolutely vile to a huge section of the public and then, when people unsurprisingly got angry with them on Twitter dot com and told them to fuck off, immediately threw themselves to the floor screaming about how they had been murdered.

Every time we look at this, we see that public attitudes to migration do not depend on actual numbers: they depend on how much the press is screaming about it on the front page. But you can't be a politics professor without being a dipshit, so here we are.
