Meloni and Johnson both been huge supporters of Ukraine. Haven’t seen their responses to Trump’s pathetic parroting of Putin but would be interested in how they react to their populist buddy.

Melon was upset by the "anti Trump" atmosphere at the meeting of European leaders.

It's everyone else's fault for listening to a liar's lies and engaging with it.

Boris's biggest triumph was his diplomacy and support for Ukraine.  The "Boris wave" stuff has basically ended his political career so it's no surprise he's going Ukraine first.

All of his mistresses and alleged nine children hadn’t. Nor has the Child Maintenance Service. 

Even he doesn’t seem to know how many so unlike Saints record defeat, it may even go into double figures https://uk.news.yahoo.com/boris-johnson-appears-confused-former-122633729.html

An appeals Court has refused to reinstate Trump's Executive Order on Birthright citizenship. Guess it will now be fast-tracked to the SC.

"The lunatics are running the asylum" is a well used statement but on this occasion is right on the money

It’s incredibly haphazard but in Musk’s case he’s well aware of the asset-stripping he and his team of acne-ridden munchkins are doing. It’s vile but the American electorate are going to have to wear it. They’ve not realised how many Trump voters in poor districts rely on Medicaid, which could be an issue when they finally realise because one thing that lot do save money aside/go robbing for is gun ownership. And plenty of them. When those voters refer to socialism and hating it, they’re not referring to themselves and their own historic provisions which will go under DOGE. Combined with inflation from tariffs pushing up their everyday goods it’s going to get ugly quite soon.

Main thing we can do is stop that shit spreading here and to Europe.

Virginia is possibly the State with the highest proportion of Federal employees among the workforce. The Republican Governor has said he fully supports what DOGE are doing, but the State is ready to give all necessary support to the thousands of staff losing their jobs.

It’ll fuck their economy, there’s very little Youngkin can do https://www.washingtontechnology.com/companies/2025/02/virginia-governor-pressed-support-federal-workers-and-contractors/403116/ at that scale to mitigate the level of lunacy. 27% of businesses in Fairfax County, the most affected region, rely on competing for federal tenders so private sector decimated, and 30% of federal role going held by military veterans.

Wasn't quite in the brochure was it?

Virginia state elections are in November https://thedispatch.com/article/virginia-governor-doge-spanberger/

With wafer thin majorities in the House and Senate, only takes a couple of rebel GOPs sticking up for their states and deadlock on the national budget, which affects all 50 states.
