Putin

Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.

Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.

The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:

Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.

To name a few.

An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.

Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.

The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

Very cool, entertaining and with high production values: if I were @Nigel_Farage, I’d consider dipping into that £5 million to try to get out a video that can compare to it.

[Roger ZenAF 🖕🐸🖕 @RogerZenAF]

You know what? Undermine their ratfuckery.

Announce a goddamn special election RIGHT NOW.
If they want to challenge it mitch can show up and do it himself, or invite the Governor to visit him in the hospital for a chat.

Stop letting these pricks cheat with impunity.

Nick McKim completely unloads on Pauline Hanson’s fake patriotism & ‘Israel First’ agenda,
“One Nation is Israel first, US & Donald Trump second, Pauline Hanson herself third & the rest of us dead last.”

A party made up of “white collar criminals”, “sex offenders” & “Nazis”🔥🎯

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is

Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?

And somehow that is the whole point

I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it

From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again

When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak

The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them

But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus

Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it

A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it

And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care

And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off

He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard

That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show

We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product

That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was

And that is exactly why we keep watching

Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!

@jessbee1999 I would have picked Grenvold over Klau! Klau has been injured for most of the season and JG is killing it against everyone

I just rang Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate's office about the proposed Trump Tower Golf Course & Resort in the city. He refused to speak to me, but his office made clear that he is pushing ahead with it. Please sign and share the petition to stop this project. https://t.co/XrILRe2N9w

Just saw a TikTok where a Northern Irish woman was talking about the DV crisis over there that’s causing justifiable concern & national furore.

30 women killed by their partners in 6 years.

In Australia we’ve had almost that many in 6 MONTHS.

… and still, our gov is silent.

Former Labor Foreign minister rips Albanese a new one:

“Belief US would defend Australia in event of an existential attack is a ‘ludicrous delusion’.”

I'm sorry but we can't allow adhd and anxiety to be used as excuses for rape. We're going down a very dangerous path.

Péter Magyar gave the press a tour of propaganda minister Antal Rogán's newly renovated, and now abandoned headquarters in Buda Castle. Just look at this luxury mansion, complete with a cigar room for prominent guests. All this in one of the poorest countries of the EU.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Excellent speech by King Charles. So good to hear the clarion cry for Ukraine, for NATO, for nature and the environment, for democracy and the checks on power. JFK mentioned more than Trump. Starmer directly quoted. Europe mentioned several times. Vance looked ill. I loved it. Loved the confidence in British and European values

[Badd Company @BaddCompani]

And now we will get to the bottom of it. For those claiming it's an indictment, you are wrong. Alvin Bragg will investigate the allegations made against Eric Swalwell. We really should let this play out. Jumping the gun usually backfires. If found to be truthful, then charges may come, but they also may not. We've been here before!

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has fought harder against Trump and the GOP than this guy.

Let's reserve judgement until this plays out through the legal system.

I'm 100% SKEPTICAL of anything Roger Stone is involved with, especially 4 weeks before an election. This smells rotten.

Australia needs to shut US bases, scrap AUKUS, remove all Australian personnel from the US military and finally have an independent foreign and defence policy.

Seems like it should be bigger news that Sam Altman is being sued for raping his own sister when she was a child
