In what court? Surely Trump doesn’t recognise international courts of justice
One of the demands being put forward here is a compensation to the geriatric orange felon.

Are we now seriously in a position where the national broadcaster is being shaken down by the president of the United States?

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.

Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

I should really have fit into this post that this county voted for Trump.
NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Really good by @newsagents.bsky.social about the coup at the BBC. The cui bono? question is key here: Billionaire-owned right wing competitors trying to sink our public broadcaster. Crucial time for the BBC. Let’s hope HMG makes the right move next. Oh wait! 😒

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

You know that time that a major British news organisation mistakenly sought out a random dude who happened to share a name with a former New York mayor in order to go after a left wing New York mayoral candidate? Did anyone resign?

With millions in public money handed to private interests and serious questions over transparency and accountability, why hasn’t there been an inquiry into the goings-on on Teesside?

My husband planned to retire in December. I'm not eligible for Medicare until Aug so I planned to get an Obamacare policy. I found one in Oct that was $800/month. Now it's $2000/month.

So now my husband isn't going to retire. I hate Trump & GOP so much.
