You're a fool, Tim. Use your feet.

CNN: GOP Sen. Tim Scott — the only Black Republican in the Senate — called the post racist and said Trump should remove it. “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it”

“I look at the performative hand-wringing, all the ‘OMG can’t believe Starmer appointed him despite all this!’ and I feel I’m in a parallel universe. Starmer appointed him BECAUSE of, not despite it. To be our interface with a corrupt WH that operates in precisely the same way. Everyone understood.”

Through my whole voting life there's been one constant: scandal follows Mandelson everywhere yet he keeps failing upwards.

Jeffrey Epstein sent $75,000 to Lord Mandelson linked accounts, documents appear to show
Lord Mandelson says he has no record or recollection of receiving the sums and does not know if the documents are authentic.

Either:

1) The WH is so incompetent that they choose the weekend of the Melania movie release to breathe more life into the Epstein files, including an image of the director of the movie from the files.

2) Trump doesn't like his wife stealing the attention and wants to sabotage her film.

Tech companies are used to censoring at the behest of authoritarian regimes.
Following ICE's killing of Alex Pretti, social media suppression allegations are mounting.

Newsom launched a probe into TikTok — amid claims that it's "censoring Trump-critical content" — and Meta has started blocking users from sharing a website outing ICE agents.

If - if - there is now de-escalation in Minnesota then that undermines the objective of Trump and Miller of invoking the Insurrection Act.

And that is what can happen when you foment disorder: it is, well, disorderly, and so doesn’t go to plan.

Miller and Trump may have a set-back in their goal.
