OK, everyone. I think it’s time I told my Boris Johnson story. It’s a story about the time as foreign secretary where Johnson committed a straightforward resigning offence, got caught out, then got away with it.

Thread.

If this happened during the Obama or Biden administrations, it would be the top news for weeks.

JD Vance: we only lost because of literally everything we did.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Vance posting as if he’s an online pundit or commentator and not the vice-president in the administration that launched this war and then defended this war.

It's actually a bad thing when the state can imprison people for watching two consenting adults having sex

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

For all the safety discourse, it is shocking how mainstream American discourse ignores how unsafe this racist garbage makes it for Muslim Americans.

U.S. politicians: “israel is the only democracy in the middle east ♥️”

netanyahu’s son: “allowing brown people to vote is an existential threat”

[Helen Lewis @helenlewis]

Incredible to do this after days of conservatives saying that Obama’s Cheesecake Factory joke shows that he’s an elitist who hates Middle America. Beginning to think he’s got a huge Kalshi bet on Dems taking the Senate.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

US foreign policy is indeed designed to help a few Trump-friendly companies, not America or Americans

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

with 12 days until the midterm elections, the entire republican party has coalesced around attacking a woman for having been raped by her stepfather when she was twelve

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

Absurd simpering obsequiousness from a representative of the most powerful country on earth, and another American humiliation, to add to the growing, growing list.

"Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."

In America the president threatens you with healthcare

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Let me repeat what I said earlier:
My late father arrived in the UK in 1966 as a legal immigrant. He and his fellow Indian immigrants didn’t claim the entire country was theirs, didn’t kick 100s of 1000s of Brits out of their homes, and didn’t set up an Indian ethno-national state in the UK. If you’re too dumb or dishonest to understand the difference between normal, legal immigration and settler colonialism, that’s on you, not me.

It’s easy to criticize me for a mistake I made 7 months ago. But what’s your plan to fix the damage I’ve caused?

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.

Wonder what’s changed?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Truly disgusting what the Republican Party and parts of our media have normalized on this country. Just open naked racism and bigotry and mockery of minorities. Can you imagine a Muhammad or Abdullah in the schoolground getting bullied by kids who heard the president do it first?

[joe @spinningjoe]

i do think it's concerning that the government is seeking to legislate against consenting adults viewing film of consenting adults engaging in legal activity. but the problem is saying that makes you sound like a turbo-pervert

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Literally the definition of racism, per the federal government.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) classifies the phrase "go back to where you came from" as a form of potentially unlawful national origin or race-based harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
