"The most corrupt president The United States have ever seen."

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

Thanks for the tip @hadon.

@randahl @hadon I hope he also reminded everybody that Trump ALWAYS backs down when faced with opposition.

Right now, even as people are slowly starting to call him out for being the bully that he is, many are still afraid that the bully will hurt them if they stand up - but bullies never do. They're always cowards, relying on your fear alone to give them power.

It will be interesting to see what happens at Davos. It's sure that he will be confronted.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

Ed Davey is absolutely right.
It's decision time: Bow or live as slave, or stand up and push back while you still can. I have faith in the Brits not to bow...we are all Europeans, after all.

@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.

@randahl @hadon ironic that the same line wasn’t accepted by the BBC when it came from a different source https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/nov/25/rutger-bregman-accuses-bbc-of-censoring-his-reith-lecture-on-trump

They are under pressure. They made an editorial mistake and the risks are high. Probably couldn't afford that this remark could be added as evidence to support an opinion on a trial.

@diemkay touché! 😀

@randahl @hadon The most corrupt entire maladministration. From the President on down to county clerks.

The UK still has anti-circumvention laws on the books. The ONLY group helped by these is American Big Tech. The first country to get rid of them will reap MASSIVE economic rewards and stand up to Donald Trump and his minions.
