Don’t you think perhaps the first nations might like it if that had been actually true…
Or for those who love to erase the past as inconvenient truths, then at least give the first nations the right now to decide who comes to the US, instead of the orange moron unilaterally inviting a whole new bunch of right wing fascists who have been crying to mommy that they can no longer bully the other kids.
Seriously, the gall, the blatant injustice, it’s so unbelievable I really do think I must be in a parallel universe since 2016. What’s happening actually makes titler’s speeches (not actions - as yet) seem almost sane by comparison
Oh yeah so titler actually killed millions so we can’t compare the two. But titler didn’t kill millions until he had completed his power grab several years after starting to oh,
ban the opposition,
ban independent media,
restrict civil rights,
etc etc. There is a clear sequence, and a time when others could have acted to stop the virus, but didn’t.
You can’t stop a dictator when you’re banged up in a supermax security prison. You can’t speak out when there is no public speaking permitted. And once your property is seized, you can’t sell it and move away.
no law is above the body that makes them.
Presidents aren’t supposed to ever make laws. They are supposed to be the figurehead of a nation, a representative to glad hand with other figureheads. A symbol to rally behind. A notoriety public to open the new mall. trump is clearly wanting to be a dictator. He wants to make the laws up as he goes along to suit himself and his acolytes. And he certainly doesn’t want to obey any laws himself, laws are for losers.
why should they buy in goods that they are capable of making. Do you order takeaway every night or eat in restaurants every night or do you cook your self a dinner because you have the necessary skills. This is precisely what is wrong with this country. we have allowed all skills to be outsourced to Europe until all that is left is a service industry. One thing goes wrong and the whole lot collapses (covid).
The missus is away all week at her moms. I’ve just set off the smoke alarm hence taking 3 hours to write this…
No. I do agree we have allowed… oh yes maggie ■■■■■■ thatcher to ruin industry in this country. a tory ■■■■■■ who used to kiss ass with another republican president called ronnie raygun. We could and should make a lot more here in the UK then we do.
But what is the real reason for our current spending patterns? Yes. Capitalist entrepreneurs who want to make a personal fortune and don’t give a efff about existing British businesses making and selling a widget. These wannabe billionaires see an opening and go all guns until the opposition are bled out and dead. They go to the Chinese manufacturers who for the sake of getting the business (and further de-stabilising western economy) happily undercut the British manufacturer for widgets - helped by lower quality, and very low pay for their own workers and terrible environmental regulations.
Mr “Besos” while wearing his make england great again hat (made in china) then sets up his distribution network based in a out of town warehouse that pays a fraction of the business rates that any high street store does. And with the help of amazon or fleabay or the others, he sells at low cost his cheap tat, then the UK manufacturer goes out of business unable to compete. And that folks is why we and the US buy from China instead of make it. Our own supposed patriots don’t extend their patriotism to business when there’s a fast buck to be made.
Trump has deported more than 200 members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang linked to kidnapping, extortion and contract killings.
And how did trump know all of these people arrested for been in the gang, were in fact criminals (I fully accept that the gang violence (UK, US, Mexico and around the world) around the drugs scene is terrible and that needs sorting)
Oh, trump knows they are criminals because someone reported them (anonymously) and heh look, they have shaved heads like all gangbangers do:
One of the points we lot on the left of nazism keep returning to is this:
If those in power dismantle all the checks and balances that prevent those in power from doing whatever they want, to whoever they want, then it’s not just the guilty that get swept up in purges. People who are the victims of some stupid local dispute over parking space, someone who simply doesn’t like the look of someone else, someone who misheard a word said to someone else entirely different anyway but takes umbrage. They get reported by the maga faithful who have brains like a 5th grader. Then swept into a system from which there is no return.
Consider how many people on deathrow who were DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY 100% GUILTY OF TERRIBLE CRIMES get pardoned decades later when DNA evidence PROVES their entire innocence and points at someone else. That is, those who weren’t executed first.
We need checks and balances. When despots rule, millions die. The endless objection and ridicule being poured over trumps and muskivite’s heads is justified and necessary. They’ve already demonstrated with repeated instances throughout their lives, they are douchebags.
If we bury our heads in the sand and say, nothing to do with us, someday it will be. But there won’t be anyone left to speak up. We speak up while it’s still possible to, in the faint hope people will see the facts. The facts. You know, the facts. As yet trump and muskivite haven’t managed to erase all their past felonys. They’re too busy trying to erase millions of US veterans, pensioners, organisations etc. But they will do soon enough. After they have sold out to putin.
) it’s a bit pointless.
