Brazil: ‘Either we win. Or we win. You have been warned.' (Ferreiro, Bolsonaro stooge in Congress). Arrogance and rightwing fascist attitude to democracy personified. And straight out of the GOP/Trump playbook.

Brazil: watch the US. Compared to Trump's regime, Nixon's CIA in the 70s were saintly gadflies, who didn't know what they were doing. A US-assisted, or even led, coup is not beyond the bounds of possibility.

Brazil: superb result. Bolsonaro's refusal to concede is the fascist right and its arrogance and hypocrisy (they also asked for a two-hour extension) all over. Expect Trump to play the same trick next month. Note the unprecedented refusal to allow foreign election overseers.

The hypocrisy from a party that has been secreting and then parading a virtual corpse (McConnell) is through the roof. What’s worse, they may well get away with it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Below the sewer even for Trump. There have been countless times when this excuse for a human needed a bollocking from someone in leadership with a pair. This is one of them. Where are you, Burnham? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A careerist, a coward, a hypocrite, an opportunist and a sycophant all walk into a bar. Barista: what'll it be, Mr Rubio?

If a toddler had said this you'd scold them for being a spoilt and graceless brat, confiscate their toys and send them straight to their room. Incredible. Worse is the complete silence from around the globe. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Russian diesel deal: more proof of where Trump's allegiances really lie. Shameful. Putin must really have a number on him. All about the short/term propaganda optics of course - to buy votes of enough electors with even less moral compass than Trump has, and to keep his rotten party in power.

Hours after Hegseth lays a plausible claim to be the very worst and most obnoxious of all Trump’s sycophants, Rubio declares: hold my beer.

Now public executions. Barbaric. Truly, a reversion to an earlier century by possibly the most pathetic, incompetent, and reprehensible member of Trump's administration - against stiff competition. He thinks (using that word loosely) he's in Starship Troopers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” (Orwell, Animal Farm) ‘Mob', eh? What a model socialist and democrat Watson turned out to be. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Public executions. F**king hell. Truly, a reversion to the early 19th(?) century by possibly the most pathetic, incompetent and reprehensible member of Trump's entire administration - and that's against stiff competition. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is the most appalling outtake from a truly depressing set of results. Apart from ‘f**k democracy’, Brazilians have quite literally said, en masse, ‘f**k the planet’. If this isn’t selfishness, nihilism and downright evil, it’s hard to know just what is. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Plausible analysis. Reminds me of Trump/Biden 2024, and Corbyn in UK. However, it doesn't detract from (or excuse) the fact that enough Brazilian electors were - and are - completely amoral, and willing to elect an anti-democratic authoritarian, fascist regime. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Brazilians have quite willingly, enthusiastically, and emphatically chosen authoritarian dictatorship, nepotism, corruption, cuts to social aid, and the reckless destruction of the Amazon and thus the planet. Again. Nothing has been learned. Stupidity, ignorance, or innate malice and viciousness?

Brazil: what a depressing result for anybody who opposes fascism and cares about the planet.

Today, millions of ordinary-looking Brazilians will vote clear-eyed and unapologetically for fascism and for f**king the planet. It's an eerie parallel to the US since 2016. I fear the same outcome.

Weird article. It mostly outlines the ways in which Trump’s regime could defy a vote. Also no guarantee that Senate Democrats could act as Walbert’s suggesting. They're not ruthless enough, and he fails to mention idiot Fetterman, who’d scupper any such move. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Depressing read, especially about Kliger (arrogance and I suspect Asperger's personified). The Frank Mackay character in Magnolia (1999) was ahead of its time in predicting all this manosphere crap, but enabled by a fascist government. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The resurfacing of a suddenly reapproved Musk makes me nervous about the US mid-terms. There’s no way his remit is confined to just a revitalisation of the armed services (for which he, like the undead Gingrich, is completely unqualified anyway). That’s just a front. This is about fixing votes.

He’s certainly the source of enough of it in his own capacity. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Boebert: keeping it classy in a way that makes one nostalgic for Taylor Greene as an exemplar of Oscar Wilde and Dorothy Parker wit and grace. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Er, who's the aggressor and invader here? A hint: the name doesn't begin with the letter ‘U'. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Quite. This despicable man has been a stain on Middle East politics and society for over three decades. Will the Israeli electorate rise to the occasion? I fear they will fail, and do so miserably. The parallels with Trump are unmistakeable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A big mistake. It will be a Mondale-style gift for the GOP if Harris runs again. What is it about the Dems that they can't see beyond the mechanics of running an unpopular ex-VP? That's no guarantee of victory and in this case it's guaranteed defeat. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Good. No prizes for guessing which two dissented… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's very hard not to despair of humanity when you see demonstrations of venality and sheer stupidity like this. US 2024 redux. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

Truly, an assembly of the scum of the earth. The pacifier when faced with adversity, ‘This too shall pass’, has been doing a lot of very heavy lifting lately. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This session’s useful idiot in the Manchin/Sinema pattern. Anyway, charitable description fails, so ‘total sh*t’ will have to suffice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Shame on Germany’s Saxony-Anholt. A whacking 44.5% have learned nothing from history and have the moral compass of a (maligned - my apologies to the animal) stoat.

The move to rig SCOTUS at the present nine may have failed. However, I guarantee that Trump/GOP will do their utmost before too long to install either Cannon or that bald Nosferatu lookalike, who appears to be 200 but is only in his 40s and makes Stephen Miller look like a cuddly moderate.

An evil man who influenced another truly, blatantly evil man. It's pointless appealing to the ‘moral compass’ of the 77m+ who voted for him in 2024 - they simply don't have any. The Dems must just ask: ‘how much better off do YOU feel personally after two years?' www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...

The No Sense. Playing… absolutely everywhere.

There’s no ‘probably’ about the hypothetical scenario whereby it’s up to me whether to save Trump from drowning. It wouldn’t be happening.

Beyond arrogance or stupidity. Deliberate evil. Almost beyond self-parody. Except there is nothing remotely funny. The fact that this nonsense is taken seriously rather than being universally condemned is a sign of how far down the rabbit hole we have gone. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Any sycophantic fool who professes their undying ‘love’ for Trump ought to have been immediate disqualified by the Senate from being AG. And he is not just a fool, but a knave. He is utterly unfit for the post. Like 100% of the other appointments. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
