The simple fact is that MAGA is the revolt of stupidity against education, science, government, the legal system, journalism, people who aren’t from here, people who don’t look like MAGGOTs; it has less to do with conservatism than it has to do with a cheese omelet. It’s a revolt fostered by the 94-year-old Australian MAGGOT Rupert Murdoch, whose loudspeaker tells the uneducated that the world has conspired against them and needs to be destroyed. Anarchy is what Murdoch has to sell and he’s been quite successful: it isn’t journalism, its cynicism, vandalism. The First Amendment gives Murdoch the right to spray-paint trash talk on the marble walls of government and now at last he has elected a vandal to spray them from the inside.

If Trump gets any more incoherent, the right wing evangelicals will claim he is speaking in tongues

When my grandmother arrived here, after the Holocaust, the Jewish Agency promised her a house. She had nothing, her entire family was exterminated. She waited for a long time in a tent, in an extremely precarious situation. They then took her to Ajami, in Jaffa, in a beautiful beach house. She saw that on the table there were still the dishes of the Arabs who lived there and who had been kicked away. So she went back to the agency and said, take me back to the tent, I will never do to anyone else what was done to me. This is my legacy, but not everyone made that choice. How could we have become what we opposed? That's the big question.

[referring to the far right riots in England] That demonstrates that the people who believe the equine ordure that people like Musk, Trump, Farage and Dutton and their ilk spread, are exceptionally gullible. They think that they are returning their respective countries to 'the good old days' whereas all they are doing is making it safe for the oligarchs to keep suckling at the public teat.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system. In biology such behaviour of cells is called “cancer”.

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. [https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/03-07-02-0167]

At least 63 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, or contributed to Trump aligned PACs. Why are they rallying behind him? Tax cuts, mostly. But there's more. The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes. Be warned.

[on the UK election] In her acceptance speech, Angela Rayner [Deputy PM, UK] said that the result was a response of the electorate to 14 years of Tory failure. I don't think the Tories failed - they have been highly successful for the elite they represent. Since 2010, the country's top few percent have seen their wealth quadruple, while most people have seen their real-term income drop. Bankers enjoy unlimited bonuses, public sector pay has been substantially cut, the tax burden has been significantly switched from rich to poor, privatised utilities profiteer from monopolistic positions without hindrance, and our railways are among the worst in the developed world, while being among the most expensive. These are all amazing achievements from a neoliberal perspective. The chief reason for their being ousted is that they didn't persuade the electorate as successfully as Reform that immigrants were responsible for all this.

Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called Social Security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

My uncle, 106 years old and a D-Day veteran, today explained why he is a big fan of [Nigel] Farage. He explained how he and Farage have the same aims, ideals and aspirations. He explained how he and Farage share the same moral compass. It’s the first time he has ever talked of his time in the SS.
