Classic case of 2+2=5 to reinforce your biases given the size of AWS and it being an american company.

As I said - complete coincidence that having given Trump's wife $40m to make a movie, and then promoted it in cinemas, that they chose the US company Amazon over the US company Microsoft Azure and the US company Google Cloud and the US company Oracle Cloud.

An absolute stroke of luck for Jeff Bezos.

That's why presidents traditionally divest themselves of investments or put them into blind trusts and refrain from commercial dealings. Because your wife being paid $75million for a shitty piece of hagiography might look like a bribe.

Absolutely agree with this. It's nothing like as bad in the UK (yet), but you can see the same tendency from Starmer, nearly always subservient to McSweeney's polling, and treating everything as if we're in the run-up to an election, rather than governing on policies borne on deep-seated principles. I genuinely don't think that Starmer believes in the anti-immigrant crap that Mahmood is doing, but someone thinks they have to do it for a distant election.

Anyway, Schumer is trying to argue for 'commonsense reform of ICE' (i.e. 'working across the aisle'), rather than burning it down and starting it again. He's getting more than a little pushback.

Nothing to see here, move along, all perfectly normal.
Well, the new normal. I'd hazard a guess that the 15 places happen to currently be Democrat.

"US President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to "nationalise" elections and repeated his false claims of 2020 election fraud in a new podcast interview.
American elections are primarily run by state law, and voting has long been administered by local officials across the country.
"The Republicans should say: 'We want to take over. We should take over the voting in at least 15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalise the voting," Trump said during an appearance on the podcast of his former deputy FBI director, Dan Bongino."

I thought that republicans were all about states rights.

I'd really love it if just once, a female reporter just snapped and went "Shut the fark up Donald you cringey rapey c*nt. How dare you keep speaking over me - did your mom teach you no manners. I asked you a farking question now goddamn well answer it."

It would be equally powerful if a male reporter asked immediately afterwards "Mr President, why do you repeatedly insult female reporters for their looks and competence, when you rarely do the same to male reporters?"

There was that time (maybe just the once?) when male US reporter asked Leavitt to answer the female UK reporters question when Leavitt had refused to do so cos she wasn't American. (Leave it out? 😂)
