Vance: I'm Going to Take This Effete Pillow-Biter Behind the Shed and Beat Some Free Speech Into Him

J.D. Vance decided that free speech is more important that diplomatic niceties with an effeminate enforcer of Islamic blasphemy laws and told him the US intended to stop the UK from restricting the speech of its own citizens, and, much more importantly, of American citizens, too.

NEW: JD Vance calls out UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to his face for infringing on free speech, says he will talk to him about it at lunch.
"I said what I said..."
"There have been infringements on free speech that actually impact not just the British... but also impact American technology companies and by extension American citizens."
"So that is something that we'll talk about today at lunch."

NEW: JD Vance calls out UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to his face for infringing on free speech, says he will talk to him about it at lunch.

Trump just absolutely goofed on this ludicrous ponce.

Asked if Starmer managed to convince Trump not to impose 25% tariffs on the UK, Trump responds: “He tried.” Trump isn’t going to budge.

Another point of contention: The communist poof Starmer wants to give back the Chargos Islands to whoever. Trouble is, there's a very important base there -- a little place called Diego Garcia -- which the US uses in many overseas operations.

Trump is going to veto Starmer's give-away.

Walk it back, folks. She says she has it all, and it will come out. Soon! Hopefully soon. Maybe tomorrow! Hopefully tomorrow. Unusually coy.

Meanwhile, she's completely ignoring the House Committee on declassification. Oh no! Trouble in Trumpville! And so you get all this drama of Trumpkins fighting among each other, catnip to the media.

And then the file is released, with custom binders and people flown into get them. But wait! Before anyone can even comment on what is in them, Bondi has an Angry Letter for the FBI.

Anyone else notice that before a single screenshot of the binder was on Twitter, the letter to Kash was. Weird.

21 Reading the stories of what's going on in Starmer's Britain really clarified my position on Russia, Ukraine, and NATO.

Why should we be wringing our hands over Trump talking to an (admittedly) undemocratic guy like Putin when Starmer and the other thugs in Whitehall have been treating their own people the same way all along? Democracy in Europe is dead; it's been dead for a while. We've just been standing guard over the corpse.

22 Look at the difference between the sitting positions of UK Ponce Starmer and Trump. Starmer can't sit still without tightly crossing his thin legs while Trump spreads his legs widely in order to accommodate his big balz. All the Euroweenies and Canada's Castreau sit that way.

108 In response to a journal question about Palestine, Starner said that he wants to see the Palestinians be able to return to their homeland and rebuild Gaza, and that he believes a two state solution is the only way forward. You could visibly see Trump bite his tongue for once and at that point that is when the press conference was over, he said thank you everyone for coming thank you and that was it.

183 The Diego Gracia thing is infuriating.

Nobody lived on or owned it. It was barren. In 1778, the French Governor of Mauritius granted Monsieur Dupuit de la Faye the island of Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia became a colony of the UK after the Napoleonic Wars as part of the Treaty of Paris (1814). The UK let Mauritius to administer it on their behalf. When Mauritius became independent, GB PAID them for the island.

Nobody other than GB has any claim on the island whatsoever. It was never inhabited until the French showed up.

The following message was sent to agency employees today:

The Social Security Administration (SSA) will soon implement agency-wide organizational restructuring that will include significant workforce reductions. Through these massive reorganizations, offices that perform functions not mandated by statute may be prioritized for reduction-in-force actions that could include abolishment of organizations and positions, directed reassignments, and reductions in staffing. The agency may reassign employees from non-mission critical positions to mission critical direct service positions (e.g., field offices, teleservice centers, processing centers). Reassignments may be involuntary and may require retraining for new workloads.

Common complaints that he wants to reassemble the USSR notwithstanding, the most steadfast aspect of Putin's control of Russia has been his attempt to achieve greater accord with the west. Trading and friendly relations. Almost certainly realpolitik over fears of China but useful nonetheless.

He has tried time and again only to be rebuffed by forces within the US.

I hope President Trump and Lady Melania are treated with more respect at the next UK state dinner than in the first Trump Era.

The best state dinner, by far, was when Obungo and Mooch went. Barry blew the toast to the Queen and she told him to stand down. He stood there like a drooling goofball in his tux. I laughed and played it 100 times.

Then he and Mooch got the Beast (car, not her) stuck on a speed bump in Ireland. I laughed some more.

This was also when she was trying and failing to set fashion trends like strange knit cardigans buttoned backwards.

Laughing was the only way I survived.
