Der amerikanische Präsident hat den Rücktritt des Chefs der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalt eines anderen Landes gefordert – und durchgesetzt. Wie bitte?

There are British Trump fans on Twitter openly begging him to sue the BBC so we the tax payer can hand him a few million.
What a time to be alive.

I watched Trump’s entire Capitol speech live. He 100% encouraged what happened. Now people are resigning over saying that?
WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm genuinely worried about things going south at the No Kings protests in US today. Trump is begging for a reason to trigger Insurrection Act. Not beyond belief there'll be Agent Provocateurs in the crowds. One Battle After Another for real.

@nivenj1.bsky.social Ffs, John. Needed a trigger warning on the audio version of Fathers. Was walking the dog this morning and reached the 🍇 scene. Luckily, nobody saw me greetin' my eyes out.
Amazing writing, though. 👌

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’
Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements
More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”.
The US president is expected to arrive in the UK on Tuesday night. He will enjoy a huge amount of special treatment as ministers attempt to preserve the special relationship, including a ceremonial welcome at Windsor Castle for Trump and his wife, Melania. Continue reading...

The scenes in London yesterday were the logical end result of billionaires and politicians spending a decade pandering to the very worst instincts of the bottom 30% of the school class.

Thank you The Observer: just the world’s richest man calling for the overthrow of the democratically elected UK government. Musk actually said ‘you don’t have time to wait 4 years until your next election.’

I made the point a few days ago that you could feel the rage of the far right because they didn’t get their riots this summer.
Looks like they’ll get them today.

The right - in the UK and the US - are absolutely foaming at the mouth to use Charlie Kirk's murder to demonize the left. It's nonsense. Also, two simultaneous thoughts are possible...
Charlie Kirk was an utterly hateful man.
His murder was appalling.
