Donald Trump's Calendar of Chaos A monthly cycle of inevitable consequences

New Substack from me about Donald Trump's 'Calendar of Chaos'. I just looked at my calendar and apparently it's still only March, despite Trump having created a decade's worth of chaos since Jan 1st. This post walks us through the rest of the year 1/n

Stephen Miller is the advisor behind many of Trump's most divisive policies. For @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social finding out more about him is like discovering a Moriarty figure.

1/ Experts issued some pretty dire warnings about Trumpian tariffs and Brexit, and the result was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Now they're issuing dire warnings about Iran.

A much smarter friend asked me how I was thinking about the difference.

My short answer: control.

I don't know why I did this.

Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah among Britain's biggest taxpayers on Sunday Times list Erling Haaland was Britain's highest taxed footballer last year, paying nearly £17 million to the Treasury.

Two immigrants top relevant Sunday Times list for most UK tax paid, as "patriot" multi-billionaire Ratcliffe lives as an immigrant in Monaco, to protect wealth so vast it is unspendable, while whining about immigrant UK care workers and NHS cleaners not pulling their weight.

FUCK RIGHT OFF, "SIR".

"Rob, you once spent a day following Peter Mandelson round Blackpool. Did you take any pictures that, even at the time, you thought might one day come in handy?"

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

It was a Wednesday morning, but Prime Minister’s Questions had been cancelled because Keir Starmer was flying to China. Deprived of her weekly opportunity for parliamentary limelight, Badenoch had summoned us to a speech to accuse other people of wanting attention. This is one of those irregular verbs: He is a narcissist; You have an inflated opinion of yourself; I am the only person who can save the Conservatives and I can only achieve this if I’m never off the television. “There are people in politics who don’t really know what they are doing, or why,” Badenoch announced, in one of many sections of the speech that a lesser politician would have been unable to deliver without laughing. Or crying. “They want access, attention and advancement, and when they don’t get their way, they create drama.” It was incredible stuff, in pretty much every sense of the word except the positive ones.

Should we ban the over 65s from social media?

The government are considering banning the elderly from social media as their brains haven't properly developed. But is a ban a step too far?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I see it took about two seconds for the kind of thing we all said would happen to happen.

BAN. THE. PERVERT. GLASSES.

Later we would hear from the President, explaining that all he wanted was “a piece of ice, cold and poorly located”. There’s something mesmeric about Trump’s mumbling, rambling stream-of-consciousness speeches, bouncing from subject to subject like a ball in a pinball machine, occasionally hitting a hot-button subject and lighting up the entire board as he remembers how much he hates windmills, or what an amazing state the US economy is in, or some misunderstood fact from a CIA briefing or the back of a cereal packet. We learned that during the Second World War, America had defended Greenland, seeing off “the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians too”, that the First World War (1914-18) had been ended by the Spanish Flu of 1919. Without America, “right now you’d all be speaking German,” he told his audience in Switzerland. He said he wasn’t planning to use force to take Greenland, but seemed to refer to it as “Iceland”. It would be a fitting next step in humanity’s dumbest century if Wo

It's completely impossible to tell any more who's live tweeting the speech and who's just taking the piss

TRUMP: honk honk honk, I'm a big goose. everyone tells me whenever I enter a room, that's the biggest goose I've ever seen and I say yes. I'm a big goose. in a good way. a lot of Somalians are small stupid gooses but I'm a big goose

BBC NEWS: a disciplined Trump sticks to the script on the economy

This is why solidarity is everything. If you vote for the bigot to persecute the people you’re bigoted against, don’t be surprised if he comes for you

Two grinning young men stand in front of a sign for New Hope Church. They have removed the letter "s" from the message underneath the church sign so that it reads "god says homosexuality is in" rather than "god says homosexuality is sin".

We're all having a tough day what with the leader of the free world being batshit insane so I'm breaking out my favourite pic to give us a little moment of joy.

You win the internet

50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning.

After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20 minutes milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out.

Thank you 😊

Well, there are some interesting details in this…

For this comic you have to imagine it as two separate pictures depicting almost identical scenes. There are three kids dressed as a devil, a ghost and a witch, and they are outside a person’s home receiving treats on a tray from the resident. In the background, their parents - parent 1, parent 2 and parent 3, watch on from the pavement. There are labels pointing to every person in each scene. HALLOWEEN IN AMERICA [Labels]: Joyful [a person at a cosy party seen through the window of the house] Ebullient [Another person at the party, we see them laughing through the window] Charmed [A fully dracula-costumed guy handing out trates at the front door] Home made skull cookies and lemonade [The contents of the man’s tray he is handing out to the kids] Delighted [The first kid on the path, dressed as a devil] Excited [The second kid on the path, dressed as a ghost] Enraptured [The third kid on the path, dressed as a witch] Emotional [Parent 1, stood back on the pavement, beaming in joy] Proud [Parent 2, clasping their hands, tearful] Capturing the moment [Parent 3, taking a photo on their phone] HALLOWEEN IN BRITRIN [The same sort of scene, but in Britain] [Labels]: Angry [A dog barking out the window.

Fact Check: Nigel Farage on Ukraine and Putin Podcast Episode · Quiet Riot · S1, E9 Bonus · 12m

I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault.

I did a full fact-check, with clips, here:
