Is there a bigger helmet in Scotland right now than James Watt?

Hes set up his own watchdog to look at badly spent tax money.

Him being referred to as Ellon Musk in a recent piece was quite good.

The end of free speech is coming.

So reckons JD Vance anyway.

I'm no Theologian but his Biblical interpretations were a tad.....ground breaking.

The 'Murican evangelical right are a collection.

I think the world is pretty well fu'cked.
The normalisation of the self-serving lunacy that Therapist (tm 57 Vintage) Trump is implementing is the most concerning aspect.

Brian Cox (The Physicist) on the, slightly, increased chance of an asteroid hitting earth:


"It’s as if the Universe has decided to do an experiment to see if Planet Earth is still capable of taking rational decisions!"

The US anthem roundly bood and 3 fights within the first minute of the Canada v US hockey match

They got pumped in the end but it sends a message

13 children in hospital with preventable Freedom Spots (measles) in West Texas

Id expect this is going to be quite common over the next few years

The only ones wanting the war appear to be Western European countries as long as America armed forces make up the majority of the force to fight the Russians.

Difficult to put an exact point on it because theres so many examples of him being a complete c*nt but id go for that time when he got away with mocking the disabled reporter. In a normal functioning society, it wouldve ended there

Now were at the point when his fanboys excuse him being a nonce

It?s a funny world.

Is the president of America any less of a dictator than Putin or Xi?
Don?t win election- initiate a riot and countless legal challenges to say it isn?t fair like a spoilt child
Set up a social media platform where only your agenda is relevant
Win an election and pardon all of your supporters regardless of crimes committed
Politicise a war with your allies, blaming the sovereign country under attack of starting the war, then trying to state you will be responsible for ending it while looking for that countries natural resources to be carved up with you and the aggressor?
I have no issue with him try to make USA a better country for their inhabitants but fck me if this is the best they can choose as their leader I feel for the next generation of Americans who have been sold a pup by their parents

There's oodles of sociology to explain why so many Americans support the known s ex-offender/fraudster/grifter.

Trump is a nob, but the folk that vote for him scare the f"ck out of me.

Once the bills start hitting, a lot of these Trump voting edge lords are going to struggle with the reality of their decision making

F*ck them.

What the lefties false to realize about the Harris campaign was that it received record donations but yet somehow still managed to end up overspending by $20m mainly because they had to pay for all these celebs who claimed to support her.

But that?s the problem with plastic socialists eventually they always run out of other people?s money.
