Spot on I'd say. Top rant! Sent me back to my note to self of a month or so ago:

Trump has actually done surprisingly little given how long he's been in office.

Odd statement. In terms of deconstructing agencies of accountability and enabling Project 2025, he has done a lot. He has empowered the ultra rich. He is also blurring the lines between the executive, the judicial and the legislative in an extraordinarily detrimental way. The pardoning of felons is both mafioso and sets a dangerous precedent. It legitimises violence on opinion - it's the brownshirts in contemporary KKK outfits. Trump's coercive moves against media is straight out of the wannabe dictators guide to totalitarianism.
As far as policies go, then no, he hasn't done a lot but Trump is not in power because he wants to lead a country, he's in power because he's wants be POTUS*. He was bereft of actual policy in Trump 1.0.
Whilst he is POTUS, he can delegate jobs for the boys and line his pockets - after the first term, he said '...I left cash on the table...'.
The sooner people realise he's not there to run a country or to improve the US in any shape of form, then the sooner they might decide enough is enough.

*He also wants to sit on some files that contain Kompromat. Handy to be POTUS really. He may die before facing consequences or accountability - or be so mentally impaired, he wouldn't know what the f*ck was going on thereby avoiding the same.

Yebbut he winds up the libs, so that's qualification enough. Everything else is just noise to his supporters.

[This post has turned into Lindsey Graham obituary]

Statistically, 80% of the time L Graham spoke, it was about foreign policy. "Lindsey Graham never met a war he didn't like".
What is 'victory' Bibi?

What is significant, is that in the absence of McConnell and now the death of LyGr, the senate is now tied.

Mike Huckabee: He loved Israel so much, this is terrible loss for Israel blah sh*t blah. Hang on... When a US senator dies, the lamentation is about his love for Israel?! Think about that for a moment.

In salacious news (stuff is coming out because you cannot be sued for defamation when someone is dead), stories are coming out of DC from high class male prostitutes regarding 'lady bug'.

"I'll be with Israel till my dying day". I just wonder what turned LyGr into one of Trump's biggest supporter - Mossad Kompromat. See above.

Now they want to pressure countries to support a US attempt to dismantle the ICC (International Criminal Court).

How will Burnham respond?

'Talk to the hand'
Starmer stood up to him and it got him a lot of credit.

It might be worth him considering assigning Starmer to ICC shenanigans.

That seems like the kind of gig he’d like.

Do we know if he is going to resign his seat yet? I can’t see him being a back bencher.
That will make for an interesting by election.

I think they could certainly use his experience and knowledge of international law. Jeremy Hunt*, mentioned that Starmer would be the best person to work on review and reform of the European Court.

He is pretty battle hardened now following his 2 years as PM as well.

*I guess his days are numbered in Badenoch’s party as she wants purge out anybody who is pro ECHR.
