Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

ICE isn’t targeting “illegal immigrants.” They’re targeting trust itself. When you punish people for following the rules, the goal is to break faith in the system so power can operate without accountability. That’s how democracies die—quietly, bureaucratically.

They are over halfway in their plan to turn government into “a heavily-armed, ultra-profitable corporation.” Where lower earners - not the 1% - are viewed as parasites. Those they deem unproductive (elderly, sick etc) will be killed.

It should fall because of his association with his side piece, Peter Thiel. Thiel is the reason he is VP, not Traitor Trash. He would be another Project 2025 president. It would solve NOTHING! The whole administration NEEDS TO GO. Anyone who calls themselves Republican is dangerous.

So the progressive income tax would be replaced with a regressive consumption tax, enriching Trump's friends and impoverishing the remaining 99.9% of America? Is there a reason Reuters cannot report this story in that way, given that it's wholly factual and exactly what Trump is proposing right now?

I'm honestly not sure I have ever seen a subhead that hurt my brain by being wrong in so many different ways all at once.

I miss the days when the implied audience for UK political speech wasn't slightly to the insane side of the Westboro Baptist Church.

Best Western Hotels now use AI to create automatic pages for bands and other events, basically going 'there are gigs, here are the nearest hotels'. They might need to train their AI to get better on 'if you like Suede, you might like...' blurbs, though

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Donald Trump is suing us for editing a speech in a way that he feels misrepresents him, so we have to edit this other guy’s speech to misrepresent him.
