Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men

What nobody has mentioned yet is if Trump fails in his bid to get back into the White House, won't he just run again in 2028 unless he drops dead of a heart attack in the meantime? 1) He could actually go to prison in the intervening time in that case 2) Four years for him to bleed support and be r...

Parliament has voted for a second reading of the bill; by 313 votes to 269; or a 44 majority. No Tory MPs voted against the bill; though some abstained or were absent. The next debates are expected to take place early in January. It would seem the Tories don't want to risk a leadership contest or a...

All the major websites are now facing enshittification.

Twitter is unique in that it is becoming completely shit because it's owner is a fuckwit rather than squeezing monopoly profits.
