Very valuable and very sober analysis www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-puti...

The oil prices only know one way and this is up. They have climbed continuously in October. Trump’s announcement regarding the minuscule Russian promise has not even dented that, predictably. The Strait of Hormuz is severely disrupted and the Iranian regime plays Trump like a fiddle.

We know that this monster El Niño will bring floods, droughts, cyclones and wildfires, but some governments aren’t putting in the necessary resources to prepare for disaster

Another blonde bimbo surfaces to take the place of Leavett. She is reported to have said “Trump means everything to me”. It churns my stomach over to think what that encapsulates.

Israel Captured 230 Square Miles of Lebanon, Razed Villages and Built New Bases - National Security

Can anyone tell what peace deal, if any, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have negotiated?

There’s too much dog and cat stuff on Blue Sky

Fuck the Russians and fuck Trump for supporting Russia over Ukraine. Trump is a Russian asset and needs to be called out as such.

Kremlin Hotline: Investigative journalists from VSquare have published another intercepted phone call between Hungarian FM Szijjártó and Russia's Lavrov. Recording implies that Moscow may have been able to obtain virtually any EU or NATO information it desired through its back channel in Budapest

I am one of millions of people that wakes up every morning hoping to hear Trump has died.

What would the world be like now if Thomas Crooks had been a better shot?

So it’s now Nazi America. ICE replacing Germany’s Gestapo and SS. All Americans should be afraid, not just the people who support Donald Trump and those people who are manipulating him.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

“Ukrainians are rallying around their president in ways that Mr Trump could only dream about. The poll finds that 72% of Ukrainians strongly or somewhat approve of their president’s job-performance; Mr Trump is at 46%, according to The Economist’s tracker.”

It has taken decades for Americans and Europeans to get their heads around the nature of the 21st century's biggest threat to democracy and liberty: corrupt oligarchs using religious/ethnic ID politics to con and oppress. This ad is starting to get the themes instinctively right

Here, a man from the Alzheimer's wing of a Washington, DC Long Term Care facility rambles some more meaningless bullshit.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

America, just in case you thought Friday went well here’s how the London Times saw it …..

So King Charles has invited Zelensky to Sandringham. That should wind the orange one up a bit.

We need regime change in the United States, not Ukraine.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

“A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.”

Good morning. After a rough few days, this week's Blind Date was perfectly timed to fill you with joy. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

In these difficult days thank goodness for the Daily Star. Please share this with Trumpy friends

The only solution to Trump is the final one.

JD Vance is graceless, reckless and pointless The vice president’s arrogant and counterproductive rant in Munich was a lesson in hypocrisy www.theneweuropean.co.uk/jd-vance-is-...

Corruption is the most important story in the world, part 209

Military historian Sir Antony Beevor on Times Radio on Trump-Putin: "We should always distrust historical parallels, especially those from WW2...but there is a really very frightening echo of the betrayal of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and the idea that one can deal over the heads of a suffering nation"

Just endured every excruciating minute of this. With Trump sitting there, the kid wandering around, Musk gives a crash course in his theory of democracy that would embarrass a semi-literate stoner. These are fools in charge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAuT...

Malignant narcissists harbor grandiose opinions of self and cannot admit imperfection on matters large or small. They deny, defy, and double down. The GOP has chosen to remake themselves to cravenly accommodate his aberrance. Rather than admit he's butt naked, they compliment his keen fashion sense.

Having spent a week or two more full time here, I can absolutely confirm that the real echo chamber is not Bluesky but X. Musk’s platform is roaring cyclotron of hate, gamed algorithms and inauthentic blue ticks. It’s not free speech but ‘paid for’ speech that stops genuine exploration and debate.

On such days the immortal words in 2002 of former Whitehall permanent secretary Sir Richard Mottram re-echo down the ages: “We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. We're all completely fucked.”

Still waiting for the promised killer expose that will end Trump’s candidacy.

Extraordinary story. Washington Post won't endorse a candidate in presidential election, for the first time in 36 years. The Post itself is reporting that an endorsement of Harris had been written but was blocked by Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner. www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

In April 2020, Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private, was murdered by a fellow soldier in Texas. Trump, then president, met her family at the White House and offering sympathy promised to pay for the young woman' funeral. This is what happened when the bill arrived.

It depresses the hell out of me that anyone other than those with malign intentions consider Trump a worthy presidential candidate. He encompasses everything that is bad in a human being.

Is Bluesky still not a thing in Europe? I can find few of the people I used to follow on Twitter. Maybe they haven’t migrated yet despite Twitter being home to the ignorant, stupid and probably insane.
