A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

BREAKING: Donald Trump's chances for prison skyrocket as bombshell reporting reveals that he recklessly discussed sensitive intelligence about U.S. nuclear submarines with a foreign billionaire at Mar-a-Lago.
And it gets even worse...
According to source familiar with the matter, Trump shared the submarine information with an Australian billionaire who then shared it with scores of others including at least a dozen foreign officials, his own employees, and even a handful of curious journalists.
This wasn't an intelligence leak, it was a flood.
The stunning allegation was reported to Special Counsel Jack Smith who is currently investigating Trump's illegal smuggling and hoarding of classified documents at his Florida compound.
Prosecutors and the FBI have repeatedly interviewed the billionaire in question, Mar-a-Lago member Anthony Pratt, and he was the one who spilled the beans on Trump.
Pratt claimed that during a conversation with Trump, he mentioned the American submarine fleet. The ex-president then got excited, leaned closer to be stealthy, and told him two crucial pieces of information about U.S. submarines:
1) The exact number of nuclear warheads they carry.
2) Exactly how close they can get to a Russian submarine without detection.
This information would be EXTREMELY useful to America's adversaries and is something Trump should never have revealed.
Pratt then went on to share the information with at least 45 other people via emails and conversations.
Enough is enough. The longer Trump remains a free man, the more secret information he will be able to reveal. It's time to lock him up for good.

BREAKING: Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is hit with a devastating new bombshell as reporters reveal that he may have committed “criminal” acts as a new report shows his corruption “is more extensive than previously known.”
But it gets WAY worse for Thomas…
According to the new ProPublica report, Thomas had also enjoyed “numerous flights on private planes, skybox tickets to sporting events, stays at luxury resorts, and a standing invitation to play at a high-end private golf club in Florida.
The new report is the most scandalous and broadest look yet at how Thomas’ social circle has funded – with limited disclosure to the public – a regular stream of extravagant excursions and events since he became a Supreme Court justice. These costly trips and travel perks often went unreported on the justice’s financial disclosure forms, ProPublica found in its investigation.
This latest investigation unearths a pattern of gifts to Thomas from Crow and three other billionaires who have been major contributors to Republican causes: David Sokol, the former heir apparent of Berkshire Hathaway; the late H. Wayne Huizenga, who made his vast fortune in his ownership of Blockbuster, Waste Management Inc. and other major companies; and Paul “Tony” Novelly, who formerly owned an oil company.
ProPublica interviewed more than 100 people, including staff that would have worked some of the trips that Thomas took. It also reviewed records obtained from the US Marshals Service, tax court filings, and personal photographs.
Sokol acknowledged in a statement to ProPublica that he hosted the Thomases. “We have never once discussed any pending court matter,” Sokol said. “Our conversations have always revolved around helping young people, sports, and family matters.”
“As to the use of private aviation,” he added, “I believe that given security concerns all of the Supreme Court justices should either fly privately or on governmental aircraft.”
Both the lack of transparency about his financial relationships with Republican megadonors, and the jet-setting lifestyle he’s enjoyed because of those friendships, put Thomas out of step with how lower court judges and other government officials approach their ethical obligations, legal experts told ProPublica.
Jeremy Fogel, a former judge who for years reviewed lower court judges’ financial disclosures, told ProPublica the amount of undisclosed gifts Thomas received is unlike anything he’s ever seen.
“In my career I don’t remember ever seeing this degree of largesse given to anybody,” said Fogel. “I think it’s unprecedented.”
The new revelations also raise questions about whether Thomas broke the law.

BREAKING: Michele Obama delivers a deeply moving and powerful response to the Republican-controlled Supreme Court's decision to outlaw affirmative action in university admission considerations.
Mrs. Obama, who is a graduate of both Princeton and Harvard, stated that she was "one of the few Black students" on her campus and she was "proud of getting into such a respected school" because she knew that she had "worked hard for it."
Even so, she "sometimes wondered" if there were people who assumed that she was only there because of affirmation action.
"It was a shadow that students like me couldn’t shake, whether those doubts came from the outside or inside our own minds," said Mrs. Obama.
"But the fact is this: I belonged. And semester after semester, decade after decade, for more than half a century, countless students like me showed they belonged, too," she went on.
She pointed out that it "wasn't just the kids of color who benefitted" from a system with affirmative action because it meant that students would encounter perspectives they had never heard before, have their assumptions challenged, and grow their hearts and minds.
The former First Lady then destroyed the Republican narrative that affirmative action creates an unfair playing field for White Americans.
She stated that there are countless other forms of "special consideration" that factor into admissions because some applicants have parents who attended the same university, others can afford coaches who help them strengthen their athletic talents, and others go to expensive high schools with tutors and test prep.
"We don't usually question if those students belong. So often, we just accept that money, power, and privilege are perfectly justifiable forms of affirmative action, while kids growing up like I did are expected to compete when the ground is anything but level," she said.
She ended by saying that this ruling is a "reminder that we've got to do the work not just to enact policies that reflect our values of equity and fairness, but to truly make those values real in all of our schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods."
Well f*cking said.

BREAKING: The New York Times hits Donald Trump with a devastating Tuesday night bombshell, revealing that “Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed surveillance footage from Trump’s Bedminster resort in New Jersey” just as he did for Mar-a-Lago.
But it gets even worse for Trump…
The New York Times continues, revealing that, “At one point in the early fall of last year, investigators went so far as to discuss executing a search warrant at Bedminster. Investigators were concerned that more documents were stashed at the club and the only way to account for them was to search the property.”
Even worse for Trump, the New York Times reports that “the top counterintelligence official at the Justice Department told Trump’s legal team that prosecutors believed that he still had more classified materials in his possession,” at his New Jersey resort — but Trump still refused to give them back.
Adding insult to injury, prosecutors say that Trump’s co-defendant in the case, Walt Nauta, loaded dozens of boxes of top secret documents from Mar-a-Lago onto a plane “that flew Trump and his family north for the summer” on the VERY SAME DAY that federal investigators showed up in Florida to collect all of the classified documents remaining there.

BREAKING: President Biden makes the historic announcement that every American household will have high-speed Internet access by 2030 because it's an "absolute necessity" in the modern era.
Better still, Biden pledged that the cables to provide this life-changing internet will be made in the United States — proving that unlike Donald Trump he puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to supporting American workers.
"These investments will help all Americans. We’re not going to leave anyone behind," said Biden.
He also stated that in "today’s economy" internet access is "just as important as electricity, water, or other basic services."
To support the initiative, $40 billion will be allocated to help spread the internet to areas where there is currently no service or the service is unacceptably slow. On top of that, the Biden administration is working with service providers to lower the costs.
