I'm not sure she'll be forgiven too easily.

I forgive her - quite easily.

A person's beliefs are, in most cases, identical to those of his or her parents'. It takes a long, long time, in my personal experience, to shed inherited beliefs.

Kudos to Liz - doubly so. She might easily have remained a careerist. Aligning herself with everything Trump would have been much better off for her political career. As it stands, she's very much at risk of losing reelection because she stood up against Trump and also because of her reasonable, centrist stance on issues such as same sex marriage.

No she won't but at least she can admit she was wrong. Deserves some credit for that.

I thought Desmond Swayne MP was more of a nutter until I read that he had gone through a similar conversion.

She just needs to admit she's wrong on abortion. I'm not sure that's ever going to happen though.

Interesting . . . old people are apparently watching the Jan 6 hearings. And paying attention to some other things.

Less inclined to get their 'information' from social media and less inclined to believe any of the rubbish they may see on it as well maybe

Often more inclined to believe any bullsh*t they see on Faux News though.

If a lie is told via 'legacy media' and a lie is told via 'social media', guess what?


It's still a lie...

Missing a trick here. Could get his videos sponsored by just for men.

Excellent way to derail the subject matter.

Colour me surprised...

Steve Bannon Trial is ongoing. Defence team to follow today and they present no evidence, no witnesses. Just closing argument. Might as well have pleaded guilty. He can get up to a year, lets hope he gets it.
