Please don’t “both sides” the “violent political rhetoric” conversation when one side regularly glorifies and intimidates with guns and the other side speaks out to end gun violence.
These are not the same.
Yep.
This goes out to all the people, bless you, who are trying to balance the innate disdain for hate and violence, with the fact that one of hate and violence’s biggest instigators was almost killed. It’s not easy being a liberal.

The Guardian, not pulling any punches:
"The elections could leave France with its first far-right government since the Nazi occupation in the second world war if the National Rally wins an absolute majority and its 28-year-old leader Jordan Bardella becomes prime minister."
Two points. Basically margin-of-error stuff. Maybe stop freaking out?
Biden trails Trump by just two points across key states, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult shows, even as three in 10 Democrats say the incumbent president should leave the... https://larand.one/2024/07/06/two-points-basically.html
If "for the good of the country" pundits truly considered Trump a genuine danger wouldn't it be much more logical to try and help Biden win -- a thing he has literally shown he can do already -- in a few months and then go nuts telling him to resign?

So to confirm, now we have near-final numbers:
Every time 19 Tory MPs get a bit grumpy this parliament and stick their letters into the 1922 Committee...
