there are two types of people it seems. type A who thinks this is defensible, right and proper:
Babbitt unless she was 81 and senile must have known it was suicidal to join a group where people were openly chanting “kill them” as they all attempted to enter a building they knew was/should have been defended against any terrorist attack. We’re not talking the UK parliament where women can jump around with impunity screaming about VAT on tampons.
We’re talking about a country where law enforcement has sovereignty over human rights as has been proven time after time after time after time. Driving your car and don’t stop - you’re shot. Sleeping in your own bed and don’t hold your hands up when strangers burst in at night - you’re shot. It’s a country where the gun is the basis of law and order. Babbitt knew the risks and took them for a doubtful cause.
Funny though, whenever it is a democrat leaning protester of any kind, the republicans want them hung for treason. Again, countless examples of how protesting women are beaten up, harangued, arrested, and in this case now charged.
It beggars belief how any stable sane observer can watch all this going on, see countless examples of the republican group act with violence, justifying it with claims of lawlessness and insurrection. Then those same republicans themselves act violently in protesting lawful decisions and events they don’t agree with but claim they are acting for America.
You have to be insane or brainwashed not to see the difference. But what’s worse is when you want to copy that same playbook over to British democracy, protest violently about what you see as wrong doing, but try to shut down others who are protesting peacefully against the politicians and businesses that you support. And all the time seemingly ignorant that those politicians and businesses are coming for all of us. They’re just using you initially to reduce the amount of effort they need to make.
First they came for the Communists. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Communist.
“Ordinary” Germans did not speak out about the rights of others. A lot of them then lost their lives by 1945
Trump, for al his bluster about law and order previously pardoned violent criminals who injured Police officers. Last week he allowed in members of a foreign drug baron family.
Times Radio has a tame ex-US Intelligence Officer as regular contributor. This piece is really very…well…interesting… He talks about Trump and Greenland and also a bit about some very far out scenarios.
He does sort of laugh off the silly stuff, but at the same time suggests that it should not be ignored. Difficult to get the balance right, after all half the things that have happened in the past few months would have been thought too ridiculous as a thriller plot a few years ago.
With all the crap going on in this country when an average of 1000 illegals are landing on our shores every week all the ■■■■ gang scandals all the ignoring democracy the terrorist attacks etc etc one would think there would be a lot more posts on the other thread than on this one. where all trump has done is for the good of america .
But nope there are nearly 600 more posts on this one in the same time period than the other thread shame on you all.
And Trump the TV star hits the headlines again as he replays his infamous scene
“Ambush In The Oval Office” . This time he is playing against Cyril Ramaphosa rather than Zelensky.
for those that cant be bothered or are incapable of reading anything above a primary school age level and understanding it. Trump has opened the door to circa 50 afrikan families that were being persecuted and welcomed them with open arms. Just like the tories did with the ukrainians. Good on trump helping those that need it and refusing to fall for the lefty garbage we are stuck with and accepting the dross of the world.
If Trump wants to allow people in or bar them, that is his choice under the law. His reasons are open to scrutiny.
There is no evidence of genocide in South Africa.
There is no Gov project to discriminate against whites.
There is no evidence that whites are subject to greater murder rates than others.
In the Oval Office Trump said nothing about intelligence reports from the CIA, Military Intelligence, US foreign Affairs.
He did play a TV clip from Fox News…
Intelligence shines from this guy. He’s far brighter than he lets on. In comparison musk actually is a single cell dork. I remain convinced that musk is been controlled by other forces, most probably the far christian right. The links are all there, not that some people care for facts which conflict with their faith. Musk has fowled up multiple times with business decisions (bit like his pal trump) and like his pal trump, others bail him out, allow him breathing space, helpfully control and manipulate the markets to support rather than crush him.
If you or I had a business and we made a major mistake with an otherwise sound operation, the market would rapidly attack our position and raiders strip us to the bone. Musk has been exposed with his failures over twitface and tesla and others. But no one attacked when he was on the ropes.
Malcolm presents quite a few ideas that others have floated, and gives them more credence given his his background and analysis that we can’t do. I’m just feeling a deep existential foreboding that what we fear is the techbros plan is totally true and maybe even worse. If the christian far right is behind it all, who knows, maybe they have this crazy crazy idea of creating a new Eden on Mars, hence the direction they’re taking now.
Franglais keeps getting attacked for not appearing to criticise starmer enough. He doesn’t need to because I’m quite happy attacking starmer because I see the risk he will kowtow to trump to save his own skin. I’ve said before and repeat again, starmer is no socialist but a luke warm conservative who saw a slightly higher chance of getting the top dog job in labour than in the tory party. Now he’s there up on that very exposed and rickety one legged seat he’s sweating buckets and reaching out to anyone at all offering to stop his seat from wobbling all over. And he will sell all our data to the US techbros regardless of the lasting damage it does the UK people.
This ongoing argument about immigration is really and truly a minor issue and distraction. If you like we can always expel all the immigrants another year, but after we have seen off the biggest threat to the ordinary working class since like ever.
Once it’s done we can’t extract our personal data back from some AI pustule. Once it’s taken it’s taken unless we all change our whole life details. The US people are focked as it is clear their data has already been stolen by musk. It’s doubtful if bombing grok’s server farms to dust would correct that.
And if grok has any remote sense of self preservation now, maybe it will start the very thing we thought was far fetched science fiction back in 1984. The terminator wars. Meanwhile I will resume pissing into the wind hoping to turn the Danakil Desert into an ocean.
Simply put, there is no defence for a lot of stuff we have seen here in the UK in the last 10 months. Therefore it’s much easier to jump on the bandwagon for what’s going on 3000 miles away. Laughably, most of it won’t have any noticeable difference in these people’s day to day lives.
They actually know that, the more radical amongst them can not be seen to criticise their own politics, so the smokescreen goes up and they vent their anger against Trump as an alternative…tgat’s my theory anyway.
Reading some of the posts it’s a disproportionate deep seated anger and hate bordering on psychotic, I can’t figute out why…but I do find it amusing.
Especially when I have added fuel to the fire.
Trump is saying get this plane for free (free is probably a lie but let’s accept it) spend years and more money than it is worth, on retrofitting it for the POTUS, all at the USAF (taxpayer’s) expense then just give to me when I end my term…
I make no excuses for hating illegal immigration we are a laughing stock because of how we cater for them.
Any amount of money spent on them over our own people is a travesty.
I also make no excuses for hating Starmer and his govt for the way they run my country… nor absolute ball bags like yourself who help them in your role as useful idiots…(illustrated by virtually your every post.)
your wasting your breath, this lot hate trump with a psycotic passion but are quite happy to let pedos and rapists murders and theives come into the country by the 1000 on a weekly basis. and were the crazy ones.
