One benchmark of a democracy is whether it is willing to hold those who have served at the very highest levels to account.

I reckon it's about time that Paddington Bear should have an evil nemesis, another bear from Peru that arrived at a different station in London & had a completely different experience which turned it to evil - Euston Bear, perhaps.

My advice to car alarms would be: go off if you're being burgled. Not at random, for three minutes, seven times a day.

Could not disagree more with Mehdi here. Of COURSE the Dems, when in power, should not do whatever the fuck they want. They should follow the Constitution.
Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.
Trump: "I said, 'You know what? I think the United States should be given 10% of Intel.'"

I can help you out on this. I don't know who Glorious Godfrey is. I was basically just playing Tucker Carlson.
Can someone help me with something on the Superman movie...?
Was @michaelianblack.bsky.social supposed to be Glorious Godfrey?
I'm not familiar with the guy he played. Was it a comic character or an archetype they used for a new character, in the shell of Tucker Carlson?

One thing worth pointing out:
Trump is doing his best to hand the Europeans to Beijing on a plate.
That China is unwilling to give even an inch in negotiations with Brussels, even as it puts on the charm with European capitals, tells you all you need to know on how it views Europe.

We want to help the Syrian people rebuild a new, inclusive and peaceful Syria.

Good news: Donald Trump, who never lies, just announced he alone has reduced drug prices by 85%.
Quick.
Go to your pharmacy. Demand an 85% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you.
If that doesn’t work, tell him to support the bill I'm introducing that'll do it.
