Quelle surprise. Maxwell being the fall girl, the next-level criminals aren't even identified, much less charged. Kinda hoping she does the brave thing and sings out about who her clientele were - though that's really selfish to suggest because in all likelihood it will cost her life, or everything apart from it. Power corrupts. 4 hours ago, Bellend Sebastian said: In other also in the news, the January 6 hearings today are lively.

Not exactly surprising, though - Trump being exactly the person he's been ever since he began to run for office, enough people evidently liked the veneer of charisma and the idea of him abusing power because it gave them licence to abuse power similarly. Interesting tidbit at the bottom, deSantis probably looking to run in 2024 against Trump. I wouldn't mind that - there's many ways a Dem candidate could tackle him if he won the nomination.

I'm not sure how unveiled a threat/incitement to violence has to be to come under criminal law in the US. This one is pretty unveiled tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would link the the original tweet, but I'm not sure I want to give her the oxygen of publicity. I'm sure I've written about it on here but one of my oldest and dearest friends lives in California. Leicester born and bred. Just so happens to be British Asian, gay, his husband is a white American trans man and has just delivered their first child together. Quite literally every minority you can think of rolled into one. He was offered a job a couple of years ago - double what he was on - but he had to turn it down because it was in Washington State in a county that was quite ****ing literally 'MAGA country' and he couldn't guarantee his family's safety. As bad as things are in the UK, and they're really ****ing bad, America is on a majorly different scale as a society. We have hateful religious zealots here too, but at least they're not ****ing armed to the teeth and perfectly willing to target people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
