Am I right that she’s Dem leaning? I have a feeling she supported Obama’s campaign previously?

I don't think Goddesses have political views.

Chuktan was appointed by Obama and she was the thorn in Trump's side as the presiding judge over his alleged attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election.
He hates her and has called her evil.

Susie Dent... not sure what her leanings are!

Free Speech latest

The White House says it is banning the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One.

All because they won’t call it the Gulf of America because they aren’t utter morons.

Free speech latest here too. He is such a big baby

Anyone who uses the word 'felon' will be sacked

That doesn't count- it's not an executive order.
He really is a halfwitted felon.

Infant mortality rises in states with abortion bans, study finds

Summary
Infant mortality up 5.6% in states with abortion bans, restrictions

Report estimates an extra 478 infant deaths that would otherwise not have occurred

Mortality increase greater for babies with congenital issues, Black infants

Fertility rates also up in states with bans, restrictions

I'm pretty sure that's fake.

20% of milk of commercial milk samples in the US had traces of H5N1 (pasteurised so safe) a year ago. It’s probably considerably worse now. Recommending drinking raw milk in the US today is a monumentally stupid idea.

Especially since the sorts of people RFK listens to are also the type of people who advocate deliberately drinking raw milk from H5N1 to get natural immunity. He’s probably only a couple of months of that.

And I say H5N1 but at least one state has another strain of bird flu in their cows. Maybe you need to mix the milks to get double immunity.

It's a homeopathic bird flu remedy!
Any mention of which, requires a posting of this:

And it's all good news on the health front

This is where I have to point out that Homeopaths without borders is a real thing.

And I need to correct my last post. There’s a new strain of H5N1 in cattle. The H5N9 is in poultry for the first time. RFK may suggest hugging chickens for a bit of immunity eventually.

Between the TB, the measles and the bird flu this whole anti vax thing could go really well. 🤔

All the more reason not to travel to the US for the foreseeable future Unfortunately, those who live in the US can't avoid the risk.

I hope so

tb (bovine) is also transmitted via raw milk.

starts hoarding toilet paper

The enormous tantrum if/when countries need to start banning flights from the US is going to be epic.

Not sure what drugs Vance has been taking but there are a lot of people on my Twitter who seem the think praying in your own home is illegal in the U.K. now.

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

Good for Zelenskyy! I hope the Ukrainians stand firm and that we and the Europeans stand behind them!

What’s the Ukranian for fuck off?

It does underline something that I either read here or heard on a podcast about Trump having 2 motivations

1. making money
2. staying out of jail.

Everything he does is motivated by either one of those or by both.

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say | CNN

This is what happens when you wildly sign something without understanding it (or giving a shit).

As in Russian Warship ?

It does suggest Hanlons Razor - which gives a little hope.

Part of the reason the Nazis were able to take over was the incompetence of the people they had to overcome. Some of which was excusable because "no one ever dreamed".

However, I have grown up being told (quite aggressively in some cases) that the founding fathers were so brilliant they foresaw this and that's why the US is immune to dictators (if you had a feeling it was Americans that were telling me this, you win your bet).

I still think there is a Netflix box set in a series about Ribbentrops time in the UK as ambassador. It would have to be a comedy naturally.

Fancy that !
