Can’t help but think that within the next 30 days over here in the US we will have tens, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of bodies stacked up as a monument to one mans narcissism #Covid_19 fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, grandma’s & grandads. #TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER

@leadlagreport My brain says it’s all insanity (and I have built and managed mining rigs as a hobby) but 🤷🏽‍♂️ none of it makes sense so I feel it’s impossible to draw any kind of logical assumption as to where we’ll be next year

@SenhorRaposa The U.K. system is different - Tory’s only needed 43% for a huge majority. Although people refer to it as a 2 party system, in reality the Tory’s are the ‘default setting’ for the U.K. , Corbyn was historically awful on the top of the ticket which made it worse

@JohnnyVolk I can only assume this is for domestic flights, for international travel Oakland might be the worst airport I’ve ever landed at! LAX is actually super easy, drop your car outside and you’re good to go!

US healthcare is wild, just got a bill for $500 for a 15 minute telehealth appointment - WITH INSURANCE - I saw a doctor without insurance for the same thing before and it was only $150 - My fellow Americans, this isn’t normal, it’s insanity!!! #MedicareForAll

@AriCohn I really don’t want to start an Ari argument that I can’t win but... in my experience 🇺🇸 is the only country I’ve lived in/visited where it’s often cheaper to eat out than in, i would go so far as to say it’s one of the reasons for the obesity problem

@JGForsyth As someone who lives somewhere where is legal:

1. 2% of tax revenue is HUGE!
2. Large proportion use edibles
3. No longer a gateway - when I was a teen my weed guy was also the ‘everything else’ guy. Now I wouldn’t have a clue where to get anything else as just go to weed shop

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@maggieNYT I don’t think that’s quite the “and yet” you think it is for Trumpworld.

GOP Voters:......

[Jason Selvig @jasonselvig]

This guy definitely thought we were gonna back him up.

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

People seem to forgets that from the more moderate remainers the reaction was:

Remainers: sounds 💩 but 🤷🏽‍♂️

Brexiters: ‘betrayal’ ‘capitulation’ (translates as we want our boy as Pm)

Remainers: well if it’s all betrayal and capitulation then let’s just not do this!

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

As someone who consistently argued Remainers should cut their losses and back May's deal, because if they didn't they'd get something worse, I'm not taking any lectures from members of the FBPE crowd shouting "This is on you!!! Own it!!!". You were warned. Own it yourself.

This story says way more about what the GOP think of California than being a realistic threat to Newsome. There is 0% chance their base are gonna get behind her and as keen as we liberals are on representation out here, Caitlin is just not the one 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT]

Re axios story Caitlin Jenner possibly running for gov, Brad Parscale - who is said to have known Jenner for several years - is advising her on building her team. He is not the campaign manager but providing guidance on who to fill specific roles.

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@danielmgmoylan Do you ever stop and think 🤔 I, a “Lord”, from 🇬🇧, completely without irony, am accusing someone else of ‘colonialism’ 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

Read the thread... it’s like.... like they are advertising for him 🤷🏽‍♂️ are the GOP now @JoeBiden COMMS team?

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

President Biden’s proposal is about anything but infrastructure.

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@SenhorRaposa “Sessionsing”

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@SRuhle I don’t think it’s necessary for China or Russia to play ball, neither are tax havens and due to sanctions and relatively low consumer spending aren’t particularly important to this. I think the policy is more about aligning with the EU with their tax haven blacklist.

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@ScouseGrouse78 @johnsweeneyroar @tonymc39 That was the hubris of Britain’s establishment over Europe, a decision to enter the ERM at an insane level - unlike the folks who made money out of Brexit, he didn’t influence the decision, he capitalised on the decision that had been made.

@LloydAllison12

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@Petar_DRC @garyrikard @profgalloway I take a different view on this - ever since the Luddites this has been a concern but in reality more jobs have been created. In addition there needs to be more focus on helping small businesses to automate to keep them competitive

[follow @bencollins on bluesky @oneunderscore__]

Whoops.

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

@StevePeers @UKLabour learnt precisely nothing from @JoeBiden ‘s electoral victory over here. Their obsession with the imaginings of what “red wall voters” really want have made them rudderless and unprincipled, their opposition has been frankly rather flaccid 🤦🏾‍♂️

[Owen KL @ReasonableOpin1]

Super interesting article, shows how brazenly ridiculous dark money in politics is and how people only have to target one or two senators to ensure that their tax breaks and subsidies remain in place.

The best investment you can ever make? - A politician 🤦🏾‍♂️

ICYMI, important piece on H.R. 1:

Republicans “concede their own polling shows that no message they can devise effectively counters the argument that billionaires should be prevented from buying elections.” https://t.co/aS0eNyIXF9
