There was a Brexit riot? Did they storm the Houses of Parliament and get into the Speaker's office and kill a policeman?

Given the tragedy of not that long ago on Westminster Bridge, that is not as funny as it should be

DGR, what on earth, apart from a policeman being killed, has one murderous lout with a knife got to do with a riot?

Dear lord, a “friend” of mine just posted this. Trumpism goes on ;)

This is bad from Cuomo

Governor Cuomo admits to withholding nursing home deaths

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has accepted blame - but has not apologised - for a lack of transparency about Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes.
More than 15,000 New Yorkers in care homes have died since the start of the pandemic.
But - until late last month - the state's health department had logged just over 8,500 fatalities.
The governor confirmed the discrepancy in a press conference on Monday.

@EveryoneRevealsThemselves

No mention of the pandemic in there, I notice. Why would that be, I wonder? Half a million deaths as a result of Trump's incompetence, apparently they don't matter?

I know @Mittens030869. But there’s no reasoning with these cult members. I could (easily) produce categorical evidence to refute every point, it still wouldn’t make a difference.

@EveryoneRevealsThemselves I get that. I was just shocked that there wasn't even any mention of the pandemic. I suppose that's because there isn't a way of presenting Trump in a good light where the pandemic is concerned. Apart from pretending that it doesn't exist, hence the number of Trump supporters who are Covid deniers.

It must be so frustrating for you.

I totally get it @Mittens030869 also no mention of an attempted coup d’etat ;)

She’s a typical Trumper in a lot of ways. Wealthy. White. Living in an enclosed “older” community in Florida.

True, but of course she'll have bought what the Republican Party have said, that the coup was nothing to do with Trump. He apparently had no idea what the mob was planning to do.

Yup and he was rightly acquitted by the senate, doncha know ;)

Good move.

I read Parler was back on line in some limited form, was wondering how long Trump would stay quiet for.

@MattNegrin

'For four years every cable channel took every daily Trump White House press briefing live — giving Sean Spicer, Sarah Sanders and Kayleigh McEnany massive platforms to spread unadulterated lies and rewrite history

Not one month in and the only channel airing Psaki is MSNBC.'

Anyone watching the Biden Town Hall on CNN at the moment?

Ted Cruz's past coming to bite him.
No, not the Trump and election overturn attempts... yet.
But this may be a warning from karma.

Cacaco reading that Trump/McConnell piece... Trump really doesn't rate years of unwavering loyalty does he. What threats he makes, his stranglehold on the GOP is scary.

I just don't understand why the party don't cut him loose and start again, if they were unanimous in it, they could.
I think Trump is priming one of of his DCs for 2024... most likely Ivanka.

Just my opinion, I know nothing really

Whatever are you saying lweji? Thats supposed to be a secret.

Brilliant thread from Beto O'Rourke about the power outages

And the quote from the Republican Mayor of Colorado Texas. Shocking. It's all the Libs fault apparently.

Tim Boyd has now issued an apology for that message.

What i particularly enjoyed in his apology is the bit where he says "his words were taken out if context"

Of course they were

Oh did he? Taken out of context, my arse, that's a good one!

He is also complaining that his wife has been threatened, maybe he has taken these threats out of context?!

I mean if we are doing the whole "out of context" thing!

In fact, nobody can complain about this post because you're just taking it out of context

Boyd's post read like a sarcastic criticism of GOP politics. Maybe that's what he's apologising for.
