Me too. I still rremember the day. But I'm also wondering when we'll have any reconciliation for the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths caused by covid under the Trump regime? My grandma was one who had many years left in her, but died from the mixed messaging and confusion Trump and the GoP caused during their culture war that still grips the Nation.

that’s definitely egregious malicious manslaughter, but I doubt he’ll face consequences. it’s f****** sad that “9/11 numbers of deaths daily” still got him re-elected.

>But I'm also wondering when we'll have any reconciliation for the hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths caused by covid under the Trump regime? *Never* But why? If politicians can be held legally accountable for harm caused by their decisions, if they counteract experts and push ideological wins based on known lies and false statements that cause immediate and preventable harm, why, you'd have cause to incarcerate nearly the *entire Republican Party*. A good chunk of the Democratic party too, but far less. Large swathes of most legislative, executive, and judicial positions. It probably should happen, but to happen, it basically requires Republicans to say "yes, we should go to prison because of our actions" and then change laws to increase their own accountability. I'd say *fairly unlikely to occur*.

bp92009 Apr 25, 2026 +2
They are themselves implicated by such a rule or policy. If they make a ruling that is against what experts recommend in the field, that they know is going to cause imminent, preventable, unnecessary physical harm to others, they are themselves just as culpable and legally liable for the harm inflicted upon others. Given that they are known perjurers and who's indefensible actions (the shadow Docket is indefensible by its nature, and Trump vs United States shows that they are acting as active co-conspirators) have been used to shield abusers from accountability, it is far past time for various states to simply say "no. You want us to follow a ruling, you need to explain it. If you rulings cause imminent harm, we will support charges against you under our state laws." It's the natural consequence of complete immunity. Useful in theory, extremely damaging for a society in reality. It just defends the indefensible, until enough people get enraged enough to toss out the system using that defense. The US was quite literally founded on what happened when a legal system lost all its legitimacy.

I think 9/11 is a day that every millennial will remember for the rest of their lives. I was only a few weeks into my first semester of freshmen year of high school and I can remember every interaction I had with an adult that day.

Yeah pretty sure most of the world, across many generations, will never forget what happened.

I moved to Australia ten years ago. The first 9/11 I was here for I got so mad because politiciams were putting out these statements of remembrance and I was just like... How f****** dare you? This isn't yours. I didn't realize that was a sore spot for me, and my response was definitely not appropriate. It just made me realize, after some time to reflect, that I still hadnt fully processes that day

indeedy71 Apr 25, 2026 +5
I’m glad you got there. A number of Australians died on 9/11. I spent the day consoling a friend who couldn’t get in touch with her parents, who were supposed to be staying at the Marriott World Trade Center that day (turned out they were stuck on a train between Boston and New York). New York City is an international city; this was an international event.

That's interesting as it was my senior year and I remember all of my peers interactions but I don't think I can remember off hand more than 10 adults total. I did sleep in that day. I woke up about 5 mins before the second plane hit from a text asking where I was and if I heard about the crash. Such an odd day. I always stopped at a bar down the street after school to ask for cigarette donations for needy kids from the regulars and it was the only day the women didn't chase me away when they saw me. They even let me burn a few watching the news with them.

I was in grade 10, I smuggled a small FM radio into class so I could hear the updates in real time. I got to see the collapse of the first tower live on TV just before I left the house for school, I heard about the second tower collapsing on the radio on the bike ride over.

The mother f***** got away with treason trying to overthrow the government, twice! These dumbasses cant even call it what it is and even on the 5th anniversary of the 2nd attempt of J6 media had all switched from calling it what it is, an Insurrection and all called it a "riot" or even "protest gone wrong". At this point Ill be happy to see his name tarnished and finally called the traitor, pedo rapist he is although would love for some actual justice and accountability for his ever growing crimes

A memory of the time when Britain responded to the invocation of Article V of the NATO treaty by the U.S., the only time any country has invoked it. But Trump is butthurt because they didn't participate in his war of choice.

Every time Donny get's his panties in a bunch Starmers approval rating goes up. Now if only Keir would stop trying to strip away the our right to privacy with his Blairite need to expand state surveillance powers constantly, kind of hard to take his claims of fighting big tech seriously when he keeps giving Palantir contracts.

YouHaveAWomansMouth Apr 24, 2026 +15
If this is a joke, hahaha. If it isn't, no. The previous ambassador had much more experience, was actually on good terms with the Trump administration, and wasn't a corrupt POS who **without fail** brings disgrace on himself and those who appointed him every time he's given an important job - he is currently three for three on that. As clever tactics go, appointing Mandelson was like Starmer setting fire to his house to save on central heating bills.
15
Temnothorax Apr 25, 2026 +8
You do not get in the good graces of the Trump admin without being a corrupt POS, unless you are Mamdani for some reason.

YouHaveAWomansMouth Apr 25, 2026 +2
Well, despite serving as the ambassador to Joe Biden's administration from 2020, Dame Karen Pierce was still popular with the incoming Trump administration. One of the senior Republican campaign advisers called her "universally respected", and Trump himself told Starmer he wanted to keep Pierce in place. There are no scandals attached to Pierce whatsoever, unless you include the fact that a respected and effective ambassador was ousted in favour of a self-serving slimeball who predictably got caught being corrupt **again**, for which obviously no blame attaches to her. So, yes, you can actually work effectively with Trump's administration without being a corrupt POS, and we know this because our previous ambassador was doing it. Replacing her with Mandelson was not a clever tactic, it was intended to be a cushy job given as a reward to the man who helped Starmer and McSweeney get where they were. Obviously it blew up in their faces, and they deserved it.

GingerPrinceHarry Apr 25, 2026 +3
His approval is still negative tho
3
MetalBawx Apr 25, 2026 +2
Yes but it's stopped nose diving and that's mostly due to how he's handled Trump though considering the biggest scandal for Keir now is the fact he tried to bring one of the most corrupt shitheels in British politics, Peter Mandelson back into the fold is tied to that well it might start dropping again. By the time Keir offered Mandelson the US ambassador posting he was all but confirmed of being a diddler and as more of Epstein's emails came out it turned out the b****** had flat out sold the UK down the river during his negociations with the United States so now Starmer is trying to pretend he didn't know the guy nicknamed "the Prince of Darkness" was dodgey.,, I feel sorry for Charles taking the blame for going on this trip when it's practically an order from the Prime Ministers office.

The way the nato nations responded to 9/11 is how I know trump is one of the most un-American citizen to ever darken the United States. Operation yellow Ribbon conducted by our Canadian brothers to temporarily house as many Americans as possible while they were flying back to the United States only to find out our airspace had been closed to everyone was nothing more then the true definition of hospitality and support of another nation. And in the United Kingdon, in a historic break from tradition, Queen Elizabeth II ordered the Royal Guard to play "The Star-Spangled Banner" on September 13, 2001, just two days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The military response to stand up for one another even though in hindsight we can see the fallacy with the u.s. waging war. There just no way you can be a patriot and support this immature child in office.
6
kstargate-425 Apr 25, 2026 +3
Also non-NATO nations like Ukraine who fought and died alongside us as well. Also I just said this above but remember France lighting up the Eiffel tower in red, white and blue and all being out in numbers showing support like so many. The west was really coming together and then it all went off the rails...

JX_JR Apr 24, 2026 +52
For the last time- the US did not, and never has, invoked Article V. On 9/11 the NATO Secretary General (a Brit at the time) reached out to the US unprompted and suggested it would be politically helpful to invoke it. The US said it had no interest in making a request to do so but said it would not object if NATO decided to declare it.  The NATO council then debated it and decided to invoke it.  Stop spreading misinformation.

sizziano Apr 24, 2026 +26
So article V was invoked not by the US but on the US' behalf? Got it.

Meanwhile, remember how persistent Trump was in trying to pursue Charles's late ex-wife, Diana. Trump called her "the ultimate trophy wife" and said to Howard Stern after her death, "I think I could have [nailed her]." According to BBC presenter Selina Scott, Trump bombarded Diana with lavish floral arrangements and unwanted attention to the point that she told Scott that he "gave her the creeps." But hey, MAGA is trying to ship Barron Trump with one of the princesses of Denmark… because of Greenland. F****** weirdos, the lot of them.

This article threw me off. I'm over here doubting that it was April and not September. Anyway this is a nice gesture but I'm more interested in this part of the article: >During the trip, King Charles will deliver a joint address ‌before ⁠the U.S. Congress, the first by a British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II spoke in 1991. I'm excited to hear what he has to say. I have a feeling MAGA will be performative and boo him. Edit: Wow a lot of people aren't reading the article. Charles is meeting with Trump as well. He isn't even meeting with Mamdani behind closed doors, this is all just for the public event. All of the "well Trump will be jealous" type comments just showed people aren't reading the article.

King Charles the king of a historically Christian country had nothing to say to his Christian countrymen on Easter but he did have a touching Ramadan message. Joining hands with Mamdami in New York in memory of a jihad attack on American soil is a complex political message that the King is no longer representing history or Christianity but has surrendered to the expansion of the Muslim order and serves as a reminder that "the powers that be" think you should, too.
