You best hope Starmer won't call for snap elections bc for the life of me; if Farage get's back in I will taunt that asshead in ways that would make the brexit debate look like a walk in the park.

Sorry, what?

You have a problem reading context?

Its nothing to do with starmer?

The US really is worse than the worst kind of banana republic at the moment. Shithole country as some biggly thinker once said.

Yes cos nothing makes you look more guilty than shutting down the government rather than release the documents

Drain the Swamp … Maybe, just ignore the swamp … Protect the swamp at all costs …

The Socialist Rifle Association should storm the Capital.

We've been through that since the 2008 financial collapse, when private banks should have gone bust (capitalist free market rules), but were flooded with public money (socialism) to bail them out. Our 'leaders' wanted us to pretend everything was ok, but instead, they proved their system is a scam.

and the commentariat and top journalists led everyone right through it behind them without a single sound. Now we know who not to listen to, no warnings, no protests, no scathing articles warning voters of where they were being led, just compliance, client journalism, meek obedience to thier masters

It will backfire, badly. They'll get hammered in the midterms. It will probably turn out that Trump has buggerall to be worried about politically in the Epstein files. A grain of sand turning into a massive cover-up turd.

You're assuming there will be mid-terms?!?

For the last 10 years Trump's best buddy Farage has been wheeled out by the UK media when any MAGA news breaks. As his closet ally over here, I'm hoping he's cleared his diary for the next few weeks. I'd really like to hear what he has to say on the matter.

That happened in 2016...

Nothing to see here (!)

Trump is so involved with Epstein then. Question is now: what else they going to get out the door while everyone is distracted by this car crash?

He’s probably in them, too

They are protecting a paedophile President. He is also an openly Nazi psychopath who has rounded up people with gestapo and put them in cages. He supports the Putin and Netanhayu wars and expects to build a resort in Gaza on the dead When are you all going to admit this and do something about it?

Pedos gonna pedo

Is this equivalent to proroguing Parliament?

Not quite- their ‘monarch’ is the one doing it, not the other way around.

Yes, they probably got the idea from Johnson. When are more than half a dozen republicans going to grow a backbone and stop DT in his tracks? They should all be asked whether it's greed or fear that keeps them loyal. Even if Maxwell does testify he's a paedophile, it won't finish him.

Or possibly the idea came from Oliver Cromwell and the Rump Parliament "You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... In the name of God, go!"

I’m pretty sure they all remember his goons tried to hang his last vice president for disloyalty…

its weird how thats not something that gets mentioned much!

Rings a bell, doesn't it...? bsky.app/profile/guar...

And if we're looking open-mouthed across the Atlantic now, maybe we should reflect on our own potential imminent future... bsky.app/profile/robe...

bsky.app/profile/grum...

Like someone proroguing parliament perhaps? Has Boris Johnson been two timing the Daily Hate and are these two johnsons related?

Mike fixed it for Don

Is Rees Mogg advising?

Whoa .. Trumps really really scared 😬 🎶 see ya in September

We went through the looking glass when he wasn't prosecuted after 6th January. We're now eating plum cake with the lion and the unicorn.

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must be,” said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come here.”

The Johnson playbook of law and order. I guess he got away with it and Rees-Mogg lied to the late Queen.

He is digging a huge hole for himself.

Absolutely "nothing to see here" vibes!

For decades we’ve been fed TV & movies of american men being heroes and tough guys. But it seems the place is just full of cowards. The only one standing up to him right now is an Aussie. And finding myself momentarily siding with Murdoch means we’re definitely through the looking glass!

Well, if that’s not a total admission of guilt then what is? You can run but you can’t hide

Through the looking glass now? We’ve taken the contents of a whole shop of mirrors, lined them up and have been smashing through each one consecutively for the past decade. Suggesting any part of where we’re at now back at 2015 would have been so beyond belief you’d have been laughed out the room.

Good Lord. It’s absolutely brazen.

Is this similar to Johnson proroging Parliament and Mogg lying to the Queen?

Not quite… but if Johnson was covering up the fact that him and Jimmy Saville were best buddies and they often popped into the hospital morgue together, then it could be similar….

So? In September call all the votes you gotta and subpoena the living hell out of him! This is the same speaker that says he’d delay the vote on the Big Beautiful Bill until dissenters had been dealt with. It’s not a government it’s a crime syndicate.

The DOJ going to meet Maxwell with presumably a deal - a week after the case was closed and just before the Democrats are about to subpoena her. Just movie level corruption out in the open.

The logical conclusion from Trump saying that there is nothing in the Epstein files and it's all a Dem conspiracy is that Maxwell did no wrong and should be released.

Yep this is a stalling tactic until they get her onboard

Straight out of the tory playbook, proroguing parliament to avoid tricky votes

bsky.app/profile/grum...

Absolutely nothing to see here 😳

At this point, the State visit should be cancelled.

Of course, there’s nothing dodgy about that, is there…

😳 Proroguing Parliament! Of course!

Gosh, I thought we we through the looking glass last November.

It says something about the state of US politics that people are being snatched off the streets by masked government agents, and yet the focus of Congress is Epstein conspiracies.

Thing is - Trump is stuffed now whatever he does - there is enough historic material in the public domain that he will never be believed not to have known Epstein was a paedophile abuser And the more he tries to cover it up, the more it will taint him Along with his own separate abuse of women

So you're Carroll, not Goodall 🤔

And there won't be another US election if he doesn't drop dead until then

I never thought I would ever applaud Murdoch but things change

So much for the much vaunted US Constituton. Someone once said that democracy was better protected by political culture rather than a piece of paper. I think the current situation in the US backs that statement.

They never cease to surprise us. Although at this stage we should all be enured to the MAGAts and their fealty to Trump. Justice is like a shark. Just when you think you safely escaped you get bitten on the ass.

Akin to Proroguing Parliament ?

To be clear, the US Speaker has adjourned the lower house of Congress early, to avoid votes relating to the publication of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Even by Trump standards, this whole saga is astounding.

What is the STATED justification? Coz I would get "oh this is a waste of time", but why would you shut things down in order to prevent it.... unless you saw it as harmful

Just like Johnson's proroguing of Parliament, it's what they do.

Republicans will protect their twisted Pedo King at all costs. America is dying.

It is, but not for that reason. Project 2025 and Murdoch are not happy and will dump him.

Hardly helps with the widely held belief over who appears in the files to do this. So delaying any possible vote until September. Buying time to do what?

Add to the cover up, which will eventually get him. Utter stupidity.

Hold on, isn't America the world's greatest democracy? They all love to ram that down our throats every time you talk to one.

Yeah, the world’s greatest democracy elected an adjudicated rapist, suspected human trafficker and paedophile to be the president of the USA. Well done America. Great job.

On the offchance of sounding overly crude, this guy Johnson is such a slimy piece of sh*t as any other member of Trump’s admin My polite language has completely gone out the window with these lying, utterly corrupt individuals

I remember when upstanding, truthful and honest Prime Minister Boris Johnson prorogued Parliament with no ulterior motive whatsoever. Move along people. Nothing to see here. What about that couple at the Coldplay concert, eh? Is it just me or does that fella look a bit like Jeffrey Ep... Dang!

Johnson (our British one) was stopped by the courts though. Allegedly the late Queen was furious too and detested him.

It feels like fuel to the fire. Surely the political equivalent of hiding from the "kiss cam". Even if you've got nothing to hide, it sure as hell looks like it. Conspiracy theorists or neutral bystanders, how else could they read this?

It's as clear an admission as you'll get. Trump is in the documents. He has to be.

Exactly ...

Of course he is. There are thousands of pictures of him with Epstein. The stupid thing is that his supporters wouldn’t particularly care. But they do admire his ‘authenticity’. Here he is acting just like every run of the mill politician would. It’s the cover up that gets you.

My God. Just when you think they can't go any lower ...

I never assume they can't go any lower. They'll always find a hidden trapdoor...

And then a well that can be dug underneath the basement that was secretly below the hidden trapdoor. New depths can always be plumbed!

They are just the worst.

Starting to think there’s video

Revolutions have a habit of ‘devouring their own children’ (In 2002) I’ve known Jeffrey for 15 years Terrific guy He’s a lot of fun to be with It’s often said he likes beautiful women as much as I do and many of them are on the younger side’

He’ll still get an easy ride from mainstream media

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Astounding? Not if you believe that they are just gung oh on demeaning democracy at every turn It's just what they do Be rightly indignant but it may be too early to talk about rabbit holes and how the actions are astounding. They really haven't got going yet

Now do we believe that they also use the UK as an experiment to see how far to push??!! bsky.app/profile/grum...

Rees Mogg lost his seat. So our example was a useless one.

It’s how they got their version of Brexit through.

Yep, true.

I think this discourse has to stop. It's not astounding. It's entirely in keeping with everything that has happened since they took office. We have to stop being surprised by anything these people do. It assumes they care about standards or norms and thus will take responsibility for any of it...

anyone would think the GOP is trying to cover something up

It’s stupid because there are pics of Dump with Epstein everywhere. His supporters wouldn’t particularly care and would slate Bill Clinton instead. Dump is just making himself look stupid, angering Project 2025 in the process.

Did you mean “shameful” rather than astounding?

do you think they'll be able to hold off releasing them til september?

Easily, until about 2032. Trump just shouts and rants and calls people fake when he is caught out and sadly as the leader of the free world he gets away with it!

Yes, but it won’t do them any favours IMO.

Wait until the midterms are cancelled!

🎯

Project 2025 will dump him for Vance before that IMO. He is becoming a dangerous liability to them. Vance is far more compliant. Plus they won’t want his cokehead son standing against Vance in 2028.

But can project 2025 do anything about the president before 2028? Impeachment sound dangerous and why should the democrats play ball?

There is strong evidence that Trump sought to overturn the result of the 2020 election so it seems unlikely that now he hast the power to prevent it he would permit free and fair elections which might produce the wrong result.

How very Boris Johnson #prorogation

But Boris was stopped by the Supreme Court in a couple of weekswasn't he? How long does it take the US Supreme Court to reach a decision, unless it benefits republicans

SCOTUS is Trumps court now

Yep, sadly that’s the difference. Also Bozo was a mega narcissist but not a psychopath. He didn’t incite people to storm 10 Downing Street. He blamed everyone else, as narcissists do, but he accepted it, and went off to make money. His ‘flaw’ was that he wanted people to like him.

Nothing to see here, clearly.

Johnson the bible basher. Hypocrite doesn't even go close.

I'm not sure this is going to stop people talking about the fact Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. In fact it might make them do it even more.

He is digging a huge hole for himself. Project 2025 and Murdoch will be far from impressed.

A yuge hole, the biggest hole, you won't believe how big a hole. A real tough hole, with tears in its eyes.

The very biggliest hole.

Drain the swamp...

commonsense401kproject.com/2025/07/22/m...

Now, about that state visit in September...

Hey, Prince Andrew's probably got space in his calendar ....

No sweat.

Are they doing this because they're worried people are still talking about Trump being friends with Jeffrey Epstein? Because I'm not sure how trying to shut down the country is going to stop people talking about how Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

I think the democrats were preparing a subpoena for her to testify before congress.

The more I hear about the Epstein files the more confident I am that information contained within them could bring Trump down. And everything Trump does confirms that he knows that too.

Don’t worry. We had a King that kept shutting down parliament in the 1600s and that all worked out just fine…

Trump's UK welcome has to be lots of posters with the photos of the him and Epstein. No words necessary... Led by donkeys... 😉 😉

Indeed. @ledbydonkeys.org

I hope the Dems put it back on the agenda straight after recess. This is biting...

Britain in 2019: we're proroguing Parliament to avoid parliamentary scrutiny of the Government's Brexit plans. USA in 2025: hold my beer...

Shocking isn't it!
