Homan: "I don't think the UK is a friend to this country and friend of the president"

After watching #BBCNewsnight last night I surmised that if an International body existed for the safety and protection of politicians it would intervene in the UK to stop them self-harming, offering the advice of rejoin the EU, introduce PR voting and exorcise them of their immigration demons.

Kruger on economic migrants.

We need migrants , just the ones that have loads of money. This is Trump and $1M payment for passports. He doesn’t give a fuck about any UK residents, just the ones that will enhance the value of his portfolios. He’s a total wanker.

I do have a little place of my heart for Ken Clarke, he is a true liberal, but thinking that the answer to the UK’s problems is in any way relatable to the policy of 1981 is complete fantasy. The only relatable fact is that the tax burden is still the highest on those less able to afford it.

Kruger thinks that his Private education is enough to make his racism more palatable. He is the worst of English exceptionalism because he will be the first to display his Poppy while by some defect in his education he overlooks the fact war was not discriminating in who fought and died to end it.

Kruger on #bbcnewsnight talking about government failures is absolutely hilarious. What a fucking ghoul.

Trump

I barely knew him, ok I might have shook hands with him, yes in the same room as him, alright multiple times in the same room, party, event, island. Look, yes I did spend thanksgiving with him, but it was a truly family occasion, yes in the kitchen with girls in bikinis. But fake news!!!

Watching BBC Business News and it now seems that, according to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the fortunes of whole UK economy hangs on the success or failure of the Jaguar Land Rover Group. Must be news to the ears of Brexiteers. Tata.

Turns out Project 2026 should have been named Project Coverup.

The amount of people coming out in the US media today saying ‘I told you so’ would be enough to have given Harris/Walt a landslide victory last November.

After he goes, and he will, they are going to have to check the bathrooms in Mar-a-Lago again. The trillions of dollars he claims came from his tariffs and are sitting on a shelf in the White House may not actually be there and it may not be possible to audit exactly where the money is gone????

Trump is posting like hell on Epstein and all he is doing is strengthening the case against him. Now it’s threats to MAGA and Republican representatives. He’s as guilty as he’ll.

Caroline Leavitt has announced that , on a slow day, the President will only be attending a scheduled dinner engagement with a menu of ‘Epstein Tartare, Lame Duck with orange glaze served on a bed of lies and Humble Pie for just dessert. He will then retire to the Situation room for cheese & whine.

At best, Trump is up to his eyes in the Epstein saga. At worst he’s balls-deep in it. (Pardon the crudity, but he brings out the absolute worst in me, as he does everybody and everything he touches).
November 12, 2025 at 8:37 PM
Did MAGA really think when Trump said he was going to drain the swamp and fight for the ordinary man that the loathsome toad was telling the truth? He is a serial liar, along with being a serial abuser of women and girls, a serial fraudster and a serial failure in business.

I want you to know how hard it was for me to swallow the amount of dollars you are going to give up.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

We take you live to the Great Gatsby themed party at Mar-A-Lago.
November 10, 2025 at 9:13 AM
It’s quite clear after last night that the US needs a new form of politics. The two party FPP system is not working and the electorate, MAGA included, no longer own their own vote. They are owned by donors, lobbyists and corporations on both sides of the aisle. US, don’t sleepwalk into Autocracy.

What this should say is the Mad King and the GOP has failed since 2016 to come up with a viable healthcare plan to replace Obamacare. Mad Musk and DOGE recklessly slashed through federal funding and employees without any consideration of the consequences. If the Dems bow to him now they always will.
Democrats divided over deal with Republicans that could end record-long shutdown
The agreement followed wrangling over health care subsidies, food benefits and the firing of federal employees.

People should have been boycotting FIFA for at least 20 years. Blatter was crooked despite what any Swiss homer court might say and Infantino is even worse. He’s like a performing seal at a clapped out, dingy circus performing to anyone throwing him a stale fish.

Alexa, give me a current political and social example of the phrases ‘double standards’ and ‘a law unto themselves’.
