“The Trump administration has provided many jaw-dropping moments, but few have been as shocking as editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg’s scoop published today,” @dgraham.bsky.social writes.

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that.

And everyone knows it.

I firmly stand with the people of #Ukraine and President Zelenskyy in their fight against Russia and Russian apologists.

I have seen some temper tantrums in my life but the degrading behaviour by #Trump and #Vance takes the cake.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.

Oh my God.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are attacking Zelensky in the Oval Office.

This is a complete fucking embarrassment.

Glad there’s respect being brought back to the US presidency 😒😒😒

This absolute gobshite has crossed a very firm red line (as if he hadn’t already). But then again victim blaming is his forte

It's almost like, I don't know, a leopard can't change his spots. Imagine being part of a riot on the Capitol and then being set free with no consequences. Surprised that he resisted arrest...sad that he faces the consequences now.

And there you have it. Only one sane voice among those who rioted four years ago CBS take responsibility and agree these pardons are un-American

Not 24 hours into the new American administration and they are showing their true colours. Surprised it took so long. #nevertrump #elonmusk #nazimuch?

This is a great explanation for why the public are being fooled into following influencers. Because they offer simple answers to complex problems.

Flat earth? Banning all abortions? Vaccines are bad? Clean eating? Good versus bad genes? All easy, simplistic answers.

Just nearly had a coronary watching James Martin attempt to cook what he calls a “Paris Brest”

Where to begin with how bad each step of his technique is. Not to mention the Nutella whipped cream as the filling. 🤯🤯🤯
Hot praline dripped on cold cream so it melts down the plate. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

She’s not wrong though.

I can’t get my head around bread sauce.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Seeing all this hysteria over the #drones over the USA. Sounds a lot like all the crop circles that used to pop up. Remember when they just turned out to be pranks?
I bet this is exactly the same thing. Lots of pranksters having fun at the gullible public's expense!

Christmas is always a tricky time for work. Managing a busy kitchen whilst at a deficit for chefs can kill creativity. But our Christmas selection is finally done!

I don’t condone killing anyone. But as someone who was subject to the American insurance system as a sick teenager, I have understood what it’s like to be treated as just another nameless file to either be approved or denied. The US needs serious #insurancereform #unitedhealthcare

Me. Never been that big a fan of the Beatles. I mean, there are some good tunes but nothing I’d say was mindblowing.
More men need to tell us they've never been a fan of The Beatles. It shows an independence of thought but also profound intellectual insight; a refusal to run with the herd. I especially like to see it in response to someone expressing their love of the group. It's outspoken, contrary and brave.

Watching with a bit of disgust at, yet another, BBC scandal. Having been here for 15 years and still not understanding the need for a license fee, the #GregWallace issue has sealed the deal that they are no longer 1) value for money, or 2) fit for purpose. Why still pay the license fee? #bbc

Well, now this seems like a much more civilised platform. I left Twitter a year or so ago due to the rubbish it was starting to allow. Let's hope for the best from @bsky.app
