Boris Johnson has used his Daily Mail platform to slag off “Adolescence” and compare Starmer to Pol Pot.
This is a politician, a paper and a headline that sum up the debasement of our politics and the toxic level of ‘debate’ it encourages. Grotesque that he gets airtime to insult us all like this.

So, Le Pen gets banned from running for election because she’s found guilty of embezzlement and her far-right fanclub starts huffing and puffing about whether this is democratic.
Err. Yes.
If you’re found guilty of corruption, you’re unfit for public office. It doesn’t matter how ‘popular’ you are.

if, ten years ago, your entire understanding of politics was that the right wing wanted to destroy everything because they were evil, you had a more accurate and more predictive analysis than functionally the entire American media and political apparatus

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!
This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Once the cyberbarons fully occupy and effectively seize control of the Treasury and other key government agencies, it won’t be long before they relegate Trump to a rubber-walled romper room, wheeling him out for occasional bursts of what passes for charisma to humor him with the illusion of power.

The reason you don't run a country like a business is because that is Fascism.
A country is supposed to be run to provide for the people, not to provide profits for the richest.
