Such a good article - thanks for posting it (about a 10 minute read)

There’s little we can do about our politicians here - even Labour are finding potential ways to work with a Trump administration.

Labour woos Trump as Starmer prepares for power

David Lammy will meet Republicans and Democrats as US and UK elections approach and Trump ally heaps praise on shadow Foreign Secretary

UK NSCers might wonder why we should care - But Trump’s plans to cut environmental regulations and climate change budgets, plans to divert military budgets to the border wall (read as divesting aid to Ukraine) and suggestion he might slap 100% import tariffs on all Chinese goods which would likely start a trade war which will impact European and UK markets too will all send destabilising ripple effects around the world (already destabilised by the war in Ukraine, Gaza and tensions in Taiwan)

Hardly surprising he has such high regard for authoritarian (ex) leaders (like President Xi, Viktor Orban, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu and Putin) when he is planning to mould his presidency along much the same lines.

I skim read that and if that article doesn't see his approval in the polls nosedive
then there really isn't much hope for America. The Western world needs to look for a new leading country, the US has turned full basket case.

Where though, is the EU our only hope?

But yeah though, Biden right?

At this point, he is pretty much daring the judge to put him in jail for the night. He wants to be a martyr

"Biden has jailed me to stop me campaigning......"

As a convicted felon would he not be barred from running for POTAS?

Nope. There is no such restriction.

He wouldn't even be the first candidate to run from jail. Look up Eugene V. Debs.

It's a massive shame, I like redemption but come on!

Contrition before redemption, usually, innit.

Yes, of course you are right. I may have faith, but it doesn't stretch as far as that particular person.

Buckle up. Stormy is expected to be the second witness today...

I think Trump will try and take that ‘night in Jail’ he has been threatened with by briefing his adoring cult later today. That should provide him with the distraction he needs for his fundamental Christian followers who might not want to hear about his (very) brief and Stormy encounter.

Has anyone ever made it more clear that they really, really want to sleep with their own daughter?!

Utterly OBSESSED with her.

Not sure if already posted, but CNN has a great daily live update thread, which covers the trial in much more detail than the Beeb.

Popcorn-worthy at the moment, with Stormy on the stand...

 

[franks brother]

Her testimony is lasting longer than he did.

 

[Bodian]

Buckle up. Stormy is expected to be the second witness today...

Apparently he's complained that his lawyers were not given warning, so not enough time to prepare. This trial has been on the cards for months - they have had plenty of time!

 

[Albion my Albion]

It's bound to be a Stormy day for Trump at his criminal hush money trial.
