Clarification: I meant in any past parliamentary election. With more than 90% of seats now attributed, the Greens have won as many seats as Reform UK.

It'd be funny watching these puffed up dipshits getting scammed by fast talking snakeoil salesmen, if they weren't lighting everything on fire in the process.

I know nothing matters anymore but she wasn’t born here which of course would make it all the funnier.

This is the thing that all the fantasy league politics seems to just skip. If he can do it, it’s best he does. If he can’t then, it’s best he doesn’t try too much longer. It doesn’t seem too much more complicated than that and none of us know the answer.

Well. That’s gross. Also, Churchill was in his 80s when he left office. Not a model I’d care to emulate but still, maybe they could mind their own business.

Almost like they went looking for a lie and a liar to tell it. Almost.

Also dropped the "and you shouldn't either" right?

Oh, and didn't he already do this exact same bit, so he's already proven that even the "won't" is a lie.

I love the BBC’s election coverage. nothing to do until polls close so we just have Larry the cat footage

I was already jealous of the glorious brief campaign but y'all also get Larry. So unfair.

I’d think the opportunity to criminalize trans people might be in there too. Or a librarian putting a gay novel up on the shelf. Or a woman wearing pants. These people are nuts.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

The whole “we’re the only country founded on an idea” resonates with me so hard.

Oh a summer drive in screening of Jaws would be so fun!

I set my phone to not ring if it’s not a number in my phonebook. I’m uh not a youth.
