@gomichild Please don't. Your MC commentary makes me unwilling to waste time on that program when there are many more worthy wastes of time to unenthusiastcally gawp at.
@gasugasu1984 Apparently he always turned up on time and in the right headspace to cohost breakfast TV. He's always been a partisan bad faith operator and egotist, but reliable effective colleagues who you work well with, tend to be regarded fondly. He's a cunt-but he doesn't make life harder.
@MikeCarlton01@tonywalker1 Becoming an Eton alumni would have opened up a galaxy of high end networking opportunities for Boris, which Stanley Johnson, not a reknowned bounder, would have felt well worth the price of admission.
@MikeCarlton01@tonywalker1 His parents sent him to Eton, I would've imagined with the intent of having him indoctrinated with a sense of noblesse oblige and high tory politìcal values. Turns out they did their dough. Johnson became an inveterate pants man and dishonest self dealing opportunist. Ruined UK.
@NChvastek@shkeela1278 So unfair Nicole! She *was* once a hooker but has worked her way up from that role to become a successful gold digger, no longer obliged to carry out loathsome conjugal duties. Has security of tenure due to her value as a prop.
What's not to admire?
It will come as a shock for people to learn that:-
There are complete loons in the military.
There are incompetent people in the military.
Some people behave badly in the military.
The military are not immune from criticism regardless of their service.
And she’s insane.
It's funny that Musk wants to sue @RoKhanna over his speech because:
1) Musk claimed to be a free speech champion and absolutist, which of course he isn't.
2) Khanna simply linked to an academic study of deaths from USAID cuts, which Musk presided over.
3) Musk just called Khanna a "robber" and an "insider trader" which is way more defamatory and actionable under US libel law as statement of (false) facts, so maybe it's time for Khanna to sue Musk.
@GrayConnolly You supported/continue to support the tory madness of Brexit. Unsure if you're the go to chap when scrounging about for pundits with reliably sound judgement.
Feeling appropriately dopy as this Gabbard news via Jon Swaine was startling to me. Werleman and Greg Olear amongst several others had been onto her years ago. My incorrect assumption was that she was just another opportunist grifter and not a highly weird marionette. D'oh!
Today, the Washington Post “investigated” what I exposed 7 years ago with 8,000 pages of leaked documents.
This is why mainstream U.S. publications are dying!
You've got to ask why Gabbard was appointed as DNI, just as you wonder why she would dump a load of anti Fauci lies that no half respectable news organisation is willing to report upon following her ousting by Trump. So many questions.
Wild thread, well worth your time.
This Tulsi Gabbard story is somehow both insane and not surprising. She was a literal flesh mannequin whose entire career is a sham: thousands of documents show her positions and "beliefs" were simply those of her "eat my toenails" cult leader. Let's dive into a thread.
@BillTheKid1603 ... unnerve both civs and garrison in Malaya and Singapore. Never the priority for resources, the Peninsula was starved of competitive RAF fighters and RN Carriers and RAC armour: not one tank. AP wrote of the deficiencies before the war, but other aims- ME and USSR- were pumped.
@BillTheKid1603 Percival looked like a bunny, but bunnies don't get decorated with an MC, a Croix de Guerre, or a DSO in FWW. He was a ruthless counterinsurgent in the IWI who had a price put on his head by the IRA. Percival knew that visible defensive efforts would /1
