They should also make plans to fund a Radio Free America, for once the corporate US press starts fully parroting the party line.

You snooze, you lose

Maglevs could revolutionise the future of inflexible point-to-point links (they’re mostly used for things like showpiece airport trains, and future plans are fixed single-line systems like the Japanese one). IIRC, unlike legacy double-rail systems, you can’t have switches for diverting trains between two lines at speed, meaning that the sorts of flexible railway networks that currently exist can’t be replicated with maglev.

But is that the “real” Nicole, or a metascammer trying to piggyback on the scam?

Any joy the little people still have in their lives is potential profits left on the table

Do they believe that, somewhere, there is still a dole like the one punk rock was built on in the 70s, or have romantic visions of sleeping under the stars and making enough coin begging/busking to buy the odd kebab? Or are these people who have generational wealth they can tap into, making unemployment into a sabbatical of sorts?

Any ranking Democrat would be far too committed to trying to manifest norms by acting as if they were still in force to even consider such an action.

Belarus did this a few years ago with a flight from somewhere else to Lithuania that was carrying a Belarusian dissident. The few minutes it spent in Belarusian airspace was enough for the air force to intercept it, force it to land and arrest the dissident.

IIRC, there was a huge outrage, which didn’t help the dissident (rogue states gonna go rogue and all that), but since then, no EU/western flights have overflown Belarus.

Renationalising the railways is the main one that comes to mind.

Depends on how well Starmer fares, and how good the right’s data microtargeting game is. If left-leaning voters stay home due to Starmer tacking to the right (and, in key electorates, precisely targeted Facebook ads inducing disgust in just enough voters), while the right-wing papers keep going on about Labour’s loony-left socialist programme driving Britain off the cliff (illustrated with photos of empty shelves in Venezuela), Labour will find itself falling between two stools.

They could well eclipse the Tories in the next election, especially if Tufton St. switch their allegiance. A Reform LLC government is not less likely than a second Trump administration in the US.

Ace Frehley, surely. Nice Jewish boy who was in one of those beat combos

Depends on who you are. If you’re Brock the quarterback, you’ll be fine. If you look a bit queer or neurodivergent or are from a racialised minority, probably not a good idea.

Perhaps he means the conservative canard that belief in a common good and/or attempting to make the world a better place are the root of all evil, and that, had they rejected public service and instead competed against each other in one marketplace or another, there’d have been no Holocaust and no gulags, only millions of naturally unremarkable deaths

Given that he regards the Department of Justice as his personal litigators, it makes sense that he’d regard NATO as his enforcers.

If the speech is a Hitler speech, you can probably download it straight from Xitter these days.

Dems roll over at the promise of a belly rub

Given his leading role in AfS (a party to the right of the far-right SD party, whose role in the ecology of the Swedish far right appears to be to be the ideological shock troops who float extreme ideas and see which of those are ready to be laundered into the mainstream by the “respectable”SD), it’s probably safe to say that this guy was a piece of shit.
