Spare a thought for Arron "Gypsy Rose Cuppa Tea" Banks.
He thought a rather modest prediction vaguely favourable to the Dems was utterly outlandish.
It turns out he was right: it didn't even mention Alaska, South Carolina or Mississippi.
Love and condolences.
Delighted to see the Democrats win control of the Senate as well as the House. Great.
They do need to ask questions about themselves, though.
They appear to be no more than a teensy bit less unpopular than the Republicans.
Alaska and Maine raise particular questions for them.
The Putinbots are out in force again today. Swamping my timeline.
Russia must be in a particularly tight position today.

One of the real constants in British public opinion is that people think that it matters not just for Ukraine but for the UK that Ukraine defeats Russia, which spans voters of all parties and so no surprise the Government leaned into further support in the Budget

Great letter in today's Irish Times.
In March 2024, I wrote to our local bishops, both Catholic and Anglican, with the same suggestion.
Neither had the good manners even to reply.
Perhaps @bergro30 will have better luck.

Replying to @dermot_fin61165
Ffs, a man was brutally murdered in a packed bar, multiple witnesses claim amnesia or hid in a toilet. Meanwhile the killers are free. Focus on getting justice for his family or is it too much to ask?
Look over there! 🙄

26 October 1936 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Emanuel de Bruin, was born in Amsterdam.
In September 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz. After the selection he was murdered in a gas chamber.

"encirclement" 🙄🤡
Nobody is saying “Russia good,” and throwing around the “campist” label just because I look at global power structures is so lazy. I know Russian imperial history. But this specific war is happening in the context of post-Soviet reality, not the 19th century. Pointing out decades of US and NATO encirclement since 1991 isn't ignoring their past, it’s analysing the material world we actually live in today. Take your bullshit somewhere else.
