A splendid summary of GOP mendacity by Mr Takei...



Indeed.

Of course they are such moral and ethical freed zones that they actively compete to be the most mendacious person on the political field.

On planet not nazi there are times when it is healthy to move on and compromise. But when one side incites violent insurrection to try and circumvent democracy itself? And then demand compromise when they fail… brazen fascists they are. Their actions cannot be brushed aside, however much they insist they should be, because they knew exactly what they were doing when they helped incite an insurrection and then went back into the Capitol to vote to disenfranchise millions of black voters. They know they were active participants in a very real attempt to overthrow the peaceful transition of power, and thereby destroy the republic, they know, and they just don’t care. They cannot be reasoned with and they cannot be trusted, you cannot have unity with people who would watch democracy die for individual power. Unity be damned, they grew their unique brand of American fascism as part of a pact with the underbelly of society, to retain office by all means necessary, let them be forever branded with this... mendacity, fascism and bat shit cray cray in equal measure...

Such terrible luck with these Irish Sea border shenanigans

Poor @BorisJohnson. Such terrible luck with these Irish Sea border shenanigans. And so unexpected. Not like a border in Ireland versus a border with Britain has ever led to violence in Northern Ireland before. Seems like he’s just done his best. Again.


Who would have thunk it?!?!





You can hear it from the before times. 'No Surrender!' 'Ulster says no!'.
The language of the troubles back front and centre... who could possibly have predicted it 👀
