It’s pretty mad what people are willing to say and do when you have absolutely no morals whatsoever.

I rember Kwasi Kwarteng back in the Boris Johnson Brexit wars days was the cannon fodder often sent onto breakfast telly to defend the lastest indefensible thing they’d done.

I genuinely think if they told him to shit himself on tv and show his shitty arse to the camera he would’ve done it. He would say and do anything.

These people are even worse.

Hilary Clinton. Jesus. I wonder what she’s thinking today.

Surely this will be a comedy with Steve Carrell one day

Not heard much more about this today. Seems like they are trying to sweep this under a rug as soon as they can.

They’re being really, really vicious about the journalist…the one who didn’t do anything and had the courtesy to not publish all the secrets he was privy to.

Lovely people.

It’s still all over the American news. Trump, his people and Fox News are basically saying ~ “Mistakes happen, what ya gonna do? Forget it and move on already!” And the MAGA dumbfucks are repeating that too now.

Which reminds me - there is no clear front-runner for the Democrats right now who is speaking out against all the insane and reckless shit the MAGA presidency is doing.

These days, you win elections by being present, visible, and familiar to the general public over the course of the entire election cycle. That gradual presence is what got Keir into power here by simply not being part of the Tory mess under Rishi/Boris. How the Democrats haven’t learned this is astounding.

Jasmine Crockett is out there fighting the good fight, along with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is doing the ‘Fight the Oligarchy (Trump)’ rallies with Bernie Sanders. Which are drawing huge crowds. First female presidents in waiting?

Therein lies the other problem, unfortunately. The US is still stuck in the (warped) mindset of anyone who’s not a conservative white straight Christian male is a commie (or insert any other quasi-socialist pejorative). AOC may as well be Mao Zedong to most middle Americans.

As much as I’m certain the US would benefit from someone energetic and principled like AOC, Crockett, or even Buttgeig, we have to recognise it’s just not palatable for the general public to have anyone who defies the mold.

Fucking lunatic country.

Yeah even the left leaning media has took the piss out of Bernie Sanders for years unfortunately and his wacky socialist ideas. Now a lot of the country seem to have finally woken up to him. He’ll probably go down in history as the best president America never had.

I wonder if this country will wake up to realise that Corbyn was our best hope?

Now that Elon is investigating I’m not worried that there’s going to be no repercussions whatsoever. We can all rest easy.

How can a reporter talk to him and not vault over the table and strangle him?

The helplessness of it is the worst bit. There’s fuck all absolutely anyone can do about any of this. The Democrats can’t lay a glove on him. It’s only been 9 weeks of this circus.

There was always that thing the first time round of ‘oooh it can’t be that bad because there are grown ups around him’ to stop him…and that might’ve been true to small extent.

Now he’s made sure he’s only surrounded by these truly horrible, totally unfit, totally unsuitable, morally bankrupt bro clowns who would punch each other in the face for the privelage of licking his little wotsit.

I need to stop reading the news for a while because my blood pressure doesn’t like it.

Call me when he’s dead. I’ll have a one man street party when it happens.

Personally I think two things are going to happen…

  1. We are only 9 weeks in and already they are fucking up royally. It is only going to get worse until we get the new Watergate of our times, that brings Trump down. Unfortunately that would leave JD Vance in-charge which is actually worse. As that guy hates Europe with a passion and would probably love a nuclear war.

  2. America is going to burn down this summer in riots and a mini civil war.
