Brewed in Britain; distilled in France; now let it be uncorked in America. (An obscure reference, I concede. But it should be clear enough to those familiar with the œuvre of Irish presbyterianism’s most appealing 20th century representative.)

Wow, Now Francetalkingpointsmemo.com Shocking and shockingly good news out of France. A longtime TPM Reader...

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

No sweeter nectar.

Put it in the Louvre.

Sometimes it takes bullets and bombs to beat Nazis. But sometimes all it takes is for normal people to serious up and vote the fuckers down.

Brilliant post. But, as with The Onion, there’s really no point satirizing those people. It’s no longer possible to exaggerate for comic effect.

NYT: New evidence shows the Trump campaign was raping everyone in sight, and illegally concealing the settlement payments. For the good of the country, Biden must drop out

The "Ukraine never in NATO" crowd seems to think they're avoiding confrontation with Russia, but they're actually encouraging Russia in a confrontation that's well underway. Events are past the point where "don't make Russia nervous, don't push back, or they might get aggressive" becomes denial.

To the extent that there’s a subcategory of obscene wealth and influence among the suspects in Knives Out movies there should be one set at a retreat for reptilian lobbyists trying to butter up a Supreme Court justice

I recommend taking five to ten minutes to put your US rep, US senators, and state and local elected officials into your phone contacts so you can instantly call them whenever you get mad, which will be every day from now until we die.

Men, by contrast, should feel free to ram one of the things up their jacksie.

‘“Somewhere between 1,300 to 1,500 people lost their jobs last night,” said one senior Tory source.’ 1,300 to 1,500 *Tories* lost their jobs. That’s too few by a couple of orders of magnitude.

Earning her pay.

Quelle surprise!

That face is long overdue for an appointment with a crowbar.

These are terrible human beings, and they should be kept as far away from power as possible.

¡Enhorabuena, España! Well done. Unfortunately done, from my perspective; but well done. Best success in the next round.

Jesús Fucking Cristo.

Ja! Ja! JajajajajaJA!!!

sometimes the most annoying people in politics can be right. the orange man is indeed bad. if you vote, you shouldn’t vote for republicans under any circumstances, which typically leaves one option

If you think Jaws is scary for not really showing the shark, you should check out spielberg's other films. they don't show the shark at all

"Only a short while ago we thought we’d eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people" Marina's in very good form today.

Sunak axed, the cast eviscerated: at last, it’s the Tories’ season finale | Marina Hydewww.theguardian.com It was worthy of a TV special. Truss, Rees-Mogg, Shapps, Liam Fox: so many erased after 14 years of dystopian soap opera, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Delight in the afterglow, obviously. But then take a moment to consider that Labour have just won an eye-popping majority on ... a third of the national vote. Britons: you really, *really* need to think about proportional representation.

Well done you, Wales.

Wales results are complete. 27 Labour MPs, 4 Plaid Cymru, and 1 Lib Dem. A complete sweep by the left and centre. No Tories or Reform.

Mixed results in the wee North.* Ian Óg out (yay!), replaced (boo!) by the candidate from the Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Party. Alas, Naomi Long fails to defeat some DUP gobshite or other. The ethnofascist murder cult do as well in their own country as they did poorly in Ireland last month. 1/n

Sinn Féin on course to have more MPs than any other Northern Ireland partywww.theguardian.com DUP loses Lagan Valley seat vacated by former leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, and is under pressure in North Antrim

My Torygeddon Bingo card. Too many survivors, frankly, among the Tory lowerarchy. Still: Shapps out, Mordaunt out, and that arse in need of a kicking Rees-Mogg out. And the Tories out; emphatically, resoundingly out. Time to put that terrifying supermajority to good use, Keir.

That NYT opinion piece telling people LOL it's stupid to vote? This guy wrote it. He votes. He votes Republican. And he's a single-issue-voting, anti-choice, right-wing Roman Catholic. Which the NYT didn't think you need to know about him. 1/n

This is the tradcath weirdo whom the @nytimes.com is publishing to tell you not to vote. You should not listen to him. Instead, you should shove his ass into a locker and burn the entire campus containing said locker to the ground. (The campus is Hillsdale)

The bulk of results being likely to come in between 0300 and 0500, and the one-hour time zone difference, mean that my alarm's set for 5 local, and the champagne will need to wait till after tomorrow's shift at the coalface.

Teh Graun goes way the hell out on a limb.
