goodlawproject.org/orbans-pay-c... Any chance we can justify labelling Matt Goodwin's or Nathan Gill's actions as Treason (aka High Treason)? Or do we have to formally declare Hungary/Russia as enemy states and Orban as a Russian asset/agent? Personally, I think they're modern day Lord Haw-Haws.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social One of the few benefits of getting older, memory loss. Every year I'm pleasantly surprised that our birthdays are just a day apart. Happy Birthday!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social youtu.be/G3xaw9PUw9Q A legend.

@colbertlateshow.bsky.social Love your show. You deserve better than to be cancelled for speaking comedic truth to power. I look forward to the bittersweet year ahead and am certain you'll be snapped up to continue. Perhaps in the UK? Wishful thinking, I know.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social First The Daily Show, now Friday Night Comedy with DeadRingers! Do I spy an appearance on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social or Question Time on the horizon? Admittedly, that would eat into Nigel Farage's recurring revenue stream so perhaps we should reconsider.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Big in America. I wouldn't plan any trips there just yet though.

When Marine Le Pen called for "lifelong ineligibility" for elected officials convicted of "misappropriation of public funds". But, sure, she claims she's the victim here. www.publicsenat.fr/actualites/p...

An American journalist backing up a British journalist by asking MTG to respond to the British journalist's question. And they said the 'special relationship' was dead.

Come on! Who amongst us hasn't accidentally shared military secrets with the press a few hours before strikes are underway? Could happen to anyone. Nothing to see here, folks. Please go about your business and buy a Tesla.

www.independent.co.uk/voices/trump... I saw the similarities between Trump and Brexit since the first merry-go-round of Trump's Presidency. The UK and USA were trying to out do each other for the most stupid thing possible. I believed USA had clinched it with Jan 6. Boy, was I ever wrong!

The @mrjamesob.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk effect is palpable. After being mentioned, DarkFire Hot Sauce's website gets overloaded. Now we had to hunt around the site to get the 4 bottles to get the 5th for free! Diabolical.

Is Trump playing some sort of 'Cards Against Humanity' on a global scale? "What would you do to end a purported genocide in the Middle East?" "What do you call the freely elected leader of a democratic country that has been under siege for 3 years?" "What should you do with state secrets?"

www.politico.eu/article/pmqs... Badenoch really needs to up her game in PMQs and indeed in most things. She claims to never get things wrong, the things is that, about that, she is wrong. www.politico.eu/article/pmqs...

Was Trump really told to shut his mouth, in the Oval Office, while Elon was standing responding to reporters, by Elon's child? If Trump doesn't fire Musk shortly it will, to my mind, confirm that Trump is Elon's puppet.

Twitter and Trump will prove to have been great investment vehicles for Musk. All under the noses of the American voters and under the auspices of the Republican party. Well done everyone.

What the actual fxxx is going on here?

www.imdb.com/title/tt5669... Supernatural S12 E05 was so prescient! In this episode some Nazi necromancers resurrect Adolf using a Horcrux timepiece. Hitler's excitement about Twitter is all too clear. The screenwriters just didn't conceive of Twitter being actually bought by a Nazi sympathiser.

@theconcernedbird.bsky.social please share your experience and any supporting evidence with the Canadian government's dept looking into this. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I wager that the people who take issue with Michelle Obama skipping Trump's inauguration are probably the same ones who have no roblem with a certified felon, conman, sexual predator, insurrectionist and vote rigger being elected President. Just a guess.

The failings of the US system are clear to all. All governments need to ensure there are enough political and legal methods to deter future insurrections and to quickly, and we must stress quickly, bring ambitious and overreaching demagogues to justice. South Korea, you can skip this class.

We need a new Bond. That, I knew. But I had no idea the part of evil genius villain had already been cast.

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/n... A tiny speck of light in an otherwise dark and foreboding future.

@davidpakman.bsky.social youtu.be/DL3cQFyyym0 Not an immigrant. Not a Democrat. Not a trans woman. A Trump supporter according to people who knew him. www.thedailybeast.com/las-vegas-cy... Tragic that he felt the need to do this.

Will the Trump/Musk government be good for the USA and the world in general? Please Lord, give us a sign.

The same outfit that championed Brexit for reasons of sovereignty now spouts support for ceding power to the United States. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12... It'll be interesting to see how Leave voters' minds will contort to integrate both of these objectives.

Musk has engineered/leveraged/chanced upon a way to maximise the power of Twitter, the credulity of citizens and his vast wealth. Unless governments get their acts together we're dealing with a problem more typically found in Marvel and DC these days. I'm torn between admiration and blind panic.

"Until cars can drive themselves as well as humans let's just hide any unpleasant truths but keep telling everyone that FSD is already better than humans." Did I summarise Elon & Trump's plan right? www.reuters.com/business/aut... youtu.be/mPUGh0qAqWA www.iseecars.com/most-dangero...

USA citizens who voted for Trump need to take a good long look at themselves when reality bites over the next few years. Dems didn't cover themselves in glory but then again they didn't incite an insurrection and try to derail democracy and call for the veep to be hanged.

Relax everyone! Trump's team has a work ethic of which to be envious. Give this man a military to govern, already!

We just got back from seeing the absolutely, scorchingly, excellent @tezilyas.bsky.social at The Attic in Totton, Southampton. Worth the 1h30m drive, & more. Masterful crowd work & laugh out loud, thought-provoking comedy. Simply brilliant! We disagree on Biscoff, otherwise 100% aligned.

Trump's cabinet will be largely filled by The Mouth of Sauron, Shelob, Lurtz, Gothmog, Grima Wormtongue, the Nazgul and respected orcs. Together, they will be working for you.

x.com/WIRED/status... Nice bit of article title craftsmanship here by Wired. Leon's fanboys and bots are already on the case.

"My family and friends have abandoned me because I voted for Sauron. They don't understand how the cosy relationship was between humans and elfs was ignoring the needs of hobbits. We voted for a change from the elf/human status quo. Sauron will drain the swamp."

#ReasonsforleavingTwitter I had a long piece written about Father Calvin but a picture and a link paint a thousand words. x.com/calvinrobins... Please feel free to add others.

news.sky.com/story/the-x-... If anyone asks "How much was spent on the 2024 US election?" add $40B to it.

Trump's MAGA hitched their wagon to QAnon, and largely integrated it before finally taking over the Republican Party. The people that brought you #pizzagate are now appointing Matt Gaetz to the role of Attorney General. Anyone curious as to what's in Matt Gaetz' basement?
