I know exactly what Tucker Carlson is, but somehow this is still shocking.
Tucker saying he wishes Hitler had won World War II was absolutely on my 2026 bingo card

Of all the lies Donald Trump, that fact-fucking, grief-grafting, tragedy-jacking, truth-chewing, bullshit-belching pathological shitheel, has sluiced through that puckered little piss hole over the last half-century, his lies about September 11 are the ones that fucking get me. Every time. I wish they didn't. I wish after all these years, after all the lies and lunacy and relentless daily shit, I could hear this one and roll my eyes and move on like I do with so much of the rest of it. I can't.

Right then. Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic. No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works. You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available? You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant. NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Richard Tice said that Angela Raynor should resign over £40,000 of stamp duty. Today it is revealed that the same man has avoided £600,000 of corporation tax. Should he resign? Or is it one rule for posh blokes and another for working class women?

Now this is what I call a speech. Charlie Angus 🇨🇦 Absolutely nails it. I am now convinced this is about much more that tariffs. I’m beginning to believe that the oligarchs WANT to set fire to the global economy. They are actively seeking a global economic ‘End of days’ They literally want to deregulate the global economy. Forget WW3, this is going to be Darwinism on steroids. People around the world are going to die for no other reason but to satisfy the ego of a man who takes pleasure from the suffering of people who to him haven’t earned the right to live. 🎥 TikTok - @canadianresisters2.0

What Trump and Vance did in the White House Oval Office today to Zelensky is being universally condemned as the most disgusting and shameful behavior of an American President and VP in U.S. history. The entire democratic free world is collectively appalled and outraged. 😳👇

When energy companies make £483,000,000,000 profits since 2020, @Ofgem are not fit to lick the boots of consumers whose average heating bills are going UP (to £1,850 on average). There's a stench of fingers in the till. You're supposed to regulate their greed, not consent to it

That is “literally” not true. The BBC is funded by millions of people paying a licence fee. “BBC Media Action” is a charity which supports local media around the world to fight disinformation which is quite a big problem these days. Don’t you agree ? @elonmusk
BBC is literally state-funded media

They are blaming Black people and Joe Biden for the plane crash. These people are the most pathetic people that I’ve ever seen in my life.
