During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, I worked as a Test Operative for a French food services and management delivery company contracted by the Conservative government to deliver mass virus testing at public expense.

He is very stupid. But I suppose this whine will be persuasive to his cult followers.
Is this all staged for some campaign film? I don’t know. But all the saluting is just plain weird. I think Nikki had it right the first time:
Here's a look at the images released for Showrunner Russell T. Davies and Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson's Doctor Who Ep. 5: "Dot and Bubble."
Not bloody likely This piece by Punchbowl is yet another “red tsunami” horse race piece designed to give Democrats heartburn. (Fun for MAGA and Villagers alike!) We’ve talked a lot during the past two years about the group of a dozen-plus vulnerable House Republicans who hold districts President Joe Biden won in 2020. But what if these Republicans aren’t as endangered as we thought? We’re in southern California all week talking to candidates running in competitive races that may decide control of the House. In conversation after conversation, we found rank-and-file Republicans increasingly ready to embrace former President Donald Trump in toss-up seats. Trump lost California by roughly 30 points in both 2016 and 2020, so this is a significant development. There are five Republican incumbents in the Golden State who represent seats that Biden won. Given the razor-thin GOP House majority, if Democrats flip all these seats they could win the chamber back this fall. But it’s not so simple. Much has changed since 2020 when Biden beat Trump in a popular vote and Electoral College landslide.

Ric Grenell: from internet troll to Trump’s twisted foreign policy guru If you have the time to read just one long piece today, read this one about Grenell, on tap to be Trump’s Secretary of State or something equally horrifying. He will serve as one of Trump’s top deputies in any case: Richard Grenell’s quest to be secretary of state in a second Trump administration began late on Election Day in 2020, when the defeated president dispatched loyalists to run shambolic “stop the steal” operations in battleground states. President Donald J. Trump tapped Mr. Grenell — his combative former ambassador to Germany, acting national intelligence chief and special envoy to the Balkans — to fly by private plane to Nevada, where Mr. Grenell ensconced himself, his dog Lola, lawyers and a crew of activists in a suite at the Venetian Resort, which served as the group’s war room in Las Vegas. In a days-long spectacle, the Trump team filed a lawsuit and aired false accusations of fraud, including one wrongly implicating hundreds of members of the military. It was all a sham. Mr. Grenell told the team in the war room, two G.O.P.
… when they want to Trump only got 6 write-in votes at the convention. He put this out yesterday: The crowd “enthusiastically” booed him which anyone who saw the footage can see. But this is for the cult which won’t see it because they live in a hermetically sealed bubble. If they come across it they’ll say it’s all fake. He has fully indoctrinated his followers. But it’s still shocking that he doesn’t care that the rest of us can see the truth with our own eyes. Utterly shameless.
When Labor and Liberal politicians repeat deceptive Israeli propaganda without scrutiny and knowledge of the facts, they lose credibility and reveal their undignified ignorance and sycophantic submission to Israel. We heard leaders from both sides repeating Israel’s accusation that those who raise the slogan “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” are Continue reading »
Israel has not only completely disregarded the orders of the International Court of Justice to cease its assault on Rafah as we expected it to do, but has actually ramped up its ruthlessness as though trying to make a point. There were reportedly more than 60 Israeli airstrikes on the southernmost city in the Gaza Continue reading »
