This March, Andrew Marr told New Statesman readers there is a ‘battle for Keir Starmer’s soul’ as ‘two groups on the party’s right are vying to control its future’. Marr said these groups fighting to ‘control’ Starmer are the Tony Blair Institute and Labour Together. Labour members certainly weren’t told they were getting a vote-Starmer-get-Blair […]

First of all, what 23 year old buys a house? Maybe he’s got an inheritance? I would guess that very few 23 year olds are in this position. That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of 33 year olds in that position but I have a sneaking suspicion this post isn’t on the up and up. Be that as it may, Surowecki is correct. Joe Biden doesn’t control interest rates and god knows, neither does Donald Trump. So this is stupid. But then there’s JD Vance’s grotesque answer to the problem. Deporting 20 million people (20 MILLION!!!!) is the most fascistic policy proposal we’ve seen since 1930s Germany. They were “deporting” the alleged cause of all their problems too. The sheer amount of pain, suffering and destruction involved in such a horrific policy is impossible to gauge but it’s going to be a nightmare. And as for the public picking up the tab for undocumented immigrants just wait until they see what inflation looks like without 20 million workers who are keeping this country running. Not to mention the vast cost incurred in rounding up such a vast number of people. It’s absurd. This is Nazi talk, nothing less.

The biggest mistake the Dems ever made was letting the right own Epstein theories. pic.twitter.com/Z6TCcJAKTs — Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 17, 2024 This should be on tik-tok. (It may be for all I know but I do hope so…) There are a lot of young women who need to see it as well as plenty of decent young men who might be skeeved out by grandpa Trump macking on young women like this. It’s very creepy and he’s still doing it. This video (referenced briefly in that series above) is recent: You know what is creepy? Adjudicated Rapist Donald Trump sexually harassing a young woman at Turning Point pic.twitter.com/skEE0F6kQG — Barbara Sobel (BarbaraJ.Sobel on Threads) (@Momof4Cats4) June 15, 2024 With the way the Trump campaign and Rupert Murdoch are pushing doctored videos of Biden every day, I think it’s only fair to spread real videos of Donald Trump’s grotesque behavior. People may have accepted it to some degree but they certainly don’t want to be reminded of it. They should be. They have to be.
