Be Excellent To Each Other

Never Democrate
Never Female
Never Non-white

Add in the idiots who didn't vote for her because of her stance on X where Trumps stance on X is 100 times worse

After the mess of January 2021, and the slow eeking out of the news of the Capitol storming, then the court proceedings, bathrooms full of classified documents, etc… As the news slowly faded away I genuinely hoped I’d rarely to never have to read anything more about that glow-in-the-dark turd. I was hoping, but not convinced, that this election took and then inevitable uproar if he didn’t win would be the end. That he’d somehow just accept it and go back to playing golf for the rest of his natural life.

It's telling that the only people in work who are happy about the result are the ones who were so bad at the Christmas Quiz that you wondered how they ever got a job here in the first place.

Quiz performance is no reflection of anything.

Yep. Within 24 hours. Just needs one quick call to Vlad and all will be well.

Just like when Trump visited North Korea to sort them out ....... oh, wait.

Anyway, the wall will be finished next week, all illegals will be deported before Christmas, monkey pox will be cured by injecting liquidised bananas into the whole population by 'medical doctors,' all political opponents will go straight to jail without passing Go or collecting $200, the country will be great again by new year and he can spend the rest of his 4 year term playing golf, but there won't be another election because they won't be needed.

And the remaining population will live happily ever after.

The US stops supplying arms, Ukraine capitulates

Putin prepares for next Special Operation in Poland, or maybe Finland.

My mum is Ukrainian, 85 and not in great health. I just need Putin to 'fall out of a window' in the short time that she's got left. Ukraine might not be free in that time but if Putin could just die that'd be dandy.

And if he could fall out of a window on to Trump, that would really make my day.

Depends on the quiz. This was a light-hearted quiz that encompassed all manner of topics. Nothing particularly difficult. It was actually shocking to me just how dumb a couple of my co-workers. To not have knowledge of any of those areas at all. It was brutal. Those are the Trump fans in the office.

We fight to the death. Well, not me. I've got rubbish knees.

Well, drat, Harris has conceded.

But at least that means SCOTUS doesn't get to trample all over that bit of the process this time.

He's got the house, the Senate and the Supreme Court. I'm hoping all that Project 2025 shit was just a conspiracy because he can do whatever he wants now.

My hope though is that him playing to the 'devout' christian vote is over now. There's no Trump 2028 now obviously so hopefully he just sticks to keeping the country running and doesn't implement any bullshit policies.

It'll be horrible to see him pardon all the Jan 6 nutcases though. I mean they literally killed a cop.

The first person he's going to pardon will be himself. Then Rudy.

I think he said did at least say some of them not all of them.

You don't think the constitutional amendment is already written?

Some of the proposed plans are absolutely batshit crazy.

Putting anti-vax RFK Jr in charge of public health?

Abolishing the department for education?

Putting mElon in charge of a new Department Of Government Efficiency so he can cull hundreds of thousands of jobs, just so he can make DOGE jokes and channel more money to SpaceX?

I'm sorry, what? Can I assume this is so BIG GOVERNMENT can no longer interfere in the GOD GIVEN RIGHT to educate the younguns they way GOD INTENDED?

Or just push the interfering down to State level, where the local crazies can really get freaky with it.

Full on creationism in some states, purple haired wokism in others. The perfect balance

Yep, give it states to run, plus allow more opportunities to run schools for profit.

I don't follow religiously but Jonathan Pie does manage to be outraged-funny whilst thought-provoking. Better than Charlie Brooker, dare I say.

Slowly returning to regularly thinking about politics and the world after a few weeks' of limiting myself for self-care after that thing that happened across the Atlantic in early November.

Decided that the Assisted Dying Bill is necessary, no matter how uncomfortable I sometimes feel around the topic, as it's better to have legal clarity then the current approach of looking the other way.

Man, I want the option when I'm older.

It definitely needs the proper safeguards though or else I don't think I'd live to see the end of this fucking Teams meeting.

I agree it's necessary, but I feel that the safeguards on this bill aren't good enough, and it's not practicable.

Bill

Jeremy Corbyn to begin legal action against Nigel Farage

"Jeremy Corbyn says he is to take legal action against Nigel Farage over a statement made on his GB News show.
During a segment of his show on 28 February, Mr Farage accused the former Labour leader of subscribing to an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

It's taken a while to make his mind up about it.

US gives $20bn to Ukraine funded by seized Russian assets

It seems that reparations are starting before the end of the war.

Good.

I'm surprised that Russia is still even surviving with what should be a completely decimated economy. Good that Ukraine got 20 billion before Trump gets in and messes it all up.
