Thanks Nick, depressingly good. I nevertheless have to say you’re a print journalist and a brilliant one at that. A sentence like this won’t realy fit in a podast.
Power doesn’t only corrupt: it sweetens and sanitises. Like perfume in a morgue, it blocks out the stench.
Patriotism has been dumped by the right as a political label, it will be political malpractice if the left don’t pick it up, wrap ourselves in the flag & make patriotism a word voters reflexively associate with the centre-left for the next 20 years
DJT's nephew, Fred Trump III, published a book in the summer just past, describing his grandfather and namesake's dementia:
Donald Trump’s nephew, Fred Trump III, sees worrying signs of dementia in his uncle.
Trump III recently published a book, All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, detailing his family history of dementia. He joined Sirius XM’s The Dean Obeidallah Show on Friday and warned that he’s seeing indicators in the former president, noting that his grandfather and Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., died eight years after his own Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 1999.
For the first time since I deleted my account I wish I still had my Twitter so I could prove what I’m about to say is true
Going all the way back to 2016 since all the talk of fascism has been used to describe Trumpism, the Brexiteers and the modern right in general I’ve said the same thing, that the historic movement they most remind me of is the Bolsheviks, I was mocked for saying this for a long time then I slowly stopped being mocked and now am seeing more and more people saying the same thing
Maybe it was because I was reading a lot about Stalin at the time that I saw it early but I’m glad other people are seeing it
'Philosophers have interpreted the world, but the point is to change it'.
We all know that our job is more than interpretation but knowing how to make a change is difficult. The Left are paralysed, their worse dreams are coming true, but Trump has succeeded where the Left has failed. 'Harris is for they/them, Trump is for you'. A spectacularly effective slogan. The Right are smarter than us because our side is incredibly dumb.
If Gabbard gets the National Intelligence brief any other country would be mad to share intelligence with the US.

You are confusing Fred Trump III's father, Fred Trump Jr., who was President Trump's older brother, with the President's father Fred Trump Sr.

The Left is also incredibly snobbish and hates the working-class.
Whom it has thrown under the bus with global trade deals.
Not a good stance for "progressives."
The working class hate the working class... they are as PFJ as anyone.
Wiliam Hague had a good piece on Trump in the Times the day before the election:

I assume he is not going recant any time soon. But I suppose he is a pretty marginal figure in the Tory Party nowadays.
Yes, in a convulsive age, the conventional Right is toast. There's no one to support it.
Convulsive because..... of social media and Russian active measures
Putin is merely fishing in already troubled waters.
And to little effect.
A well directed, and much merited, boot up the arse of the British Right as it prostrates itself before Trump.
We and Biden need to declare war on Russia... thereby making at a stroke Trump, Maga, Farage and Johnson traitors.
We can only hope Britain isn't punished too severely for Starmer and Labour's faults.
We are being punished for Cameron's.
If all political careers end in failure, we had a real flurry of failure just as Putin invaded Europe...
The more liberals attack Trump, the more popular he becomes. Inevitably.
People tell pollsters what the pollsters wish to believe, not what they themselves believe.
Incidentally, Europe has no money for Ukraine or Defence, and is fading into history.
Yeah.... it just disappears...
Brexit was Russian foreign policy if that's what you mean.
That's right - liberals blaming the Russian bogeyman for their own abject failures !
