Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

It’s a super power.
Kemi Badenoch’s ability to plant political time bombs that blow up in the face of the party she leads is truly unparalleled.
What’s particularly impressive here is she could have found this out herself before raising the profile of this issue at PMQs.

Funny how it works. We have all these “lab leak” articles always starting with how they were “silenced”, “censored”, etc, etc.
Yet, for years, all we hear about is the lab leak. Same nonsense over and over.
Those *truly* being silenced are the scientists doing the work. Including in the NYTimes.

Not gonna link to or rebut the lab origin opinion in this morning's NYT. It's just the same old stuff rehashed again.
Instead I briefly counted any misleading articles I could find that were supportive or uncritical of a lab origin.
I found 324 articles since Mar 2020. The median month had 3.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
