UK Member of Parliament Ed Davey does not mince words when characterizing Trump after his move to take Greenland.

@randahl @hadon yeah!

[ilka4you@mastodon.social]

@randahl on point! Exactly my thoughts on both - The felon 47 and Starmer. @hadon

[badco@mastodon.world]

@randahl @hadon well spoken

[jmyarlett@mastodon.world]

@randahl @hadon so true

@gsymon @randahl @hadon

It's not a normal situation. British politics is not set up to handle the situation where that's a thing that has to be said out loud about a powerful ex-ally without any diplomatic sugar coating, so they take a bit of time to work up to it.

@petealexharris @gsymon @randahl
Diplomacy is the art of dealing with others with politeness, but under Trump it's no longer an art, it's become a combat sport.

[pepperbike@mastodon.social]

@jwcph @Remittancegirl @randahl @hadon Agreed. In the long run it hurts more to let the bully continue rather than standing up and fighting the bully.

@randahl @hadon See, I'd be more inclined to trust the establishment-class if I hadn't just watched them all give a warm welcome to the most smug chisto-fascist that has ever walked the planet.

Hoyle nodding along to what was essentially a declaration of a push towards tyranny.

I'm sure the neolibs will put up a good fight, though. Just like they did in the US.

The pretense that we live in a functioning democracy is pretty insulting tbh.

[gsymon@mstdn.social]

@petealexharris @randahl @hadon

And the price is being paid.

[petealexharris@mastodon.scot]

@hadon @gsymon @randahl
Oh even when it's polite that doesn't mean it's not a combat sport. Maybe especially when it's a particular kind of polite.

@randahl @hadon

Corrupt, or even worse, but what should at the same time be thought about the people which elected him, even twice?

[hadon@mastodon.social]

@Trifolium @randahl

That's a different topic, I wouldn't say voters were corrupt, there are other adjectives more suitable to describe them

@gsymon @randahl @hadon Ed Davey has been very much not a fan for quite some time.

[lightfiar@mstdn.plus]

@hadon @petealexharris @gsymon @randahl Yep. That's because he's a loser. Suffers imposter syndrome because he IS an imposter. Weak, ugly, malignant imbecile. An asshole who destroys everything he touches and whose every effort ends in dismal failure. Piece of shit needs to be removed at once.

[fenixmaster@mastodon.social]

@randahl @hadon EU - Activate the bazooka, please!

[fenixmaster@mastodon.social]

@hadon @petealexharris @gsymon @randahl At the moment, shoot first then talk.

@hadon @jwcph @randahl if we want to solve a good portion of our world's issues we just put a massive glass bowl over davos after all these types of folks arrive

[barryallen2023@mastodon.social]

@hadon @Trifolium @randahl Uneducated and willfully ignorant due to being uneducated. Thats how you describe our voting population that elected #notmypresident
