This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising.
He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.
What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Brexit has been a disaster & has resulted in even more inequality.
And instead of take any responsibility - Reform always say it's someone elses fault.
