Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 08:48:23Copy HTML If all the above works then fine, I'm converted (as long as I don't have to look at his stupid face or listen to his childish whining voice) but the danger with Trump is that with his victory he'll think himself invincible and that's not good when going into (metaphorical) combat with the Axis of Evil. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 10:14:40Copy HTML You still seem to get this wrong all the time Art. The DOJ is a separate branch of Government that has nothing to do with any of the parties. The House was and still is Republican and so is their upper house, their senate now.
You sweet deluded child. You actually think the DOJ isn't used for political purposes? |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 10:18:56Copy HTML Pete makes some salient points in his latest post. True, because Obama didn't want to give up power, so kept Biden in office. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 10:43:17Copy HTML Europe has hit the panic button over Trump's election. Stasi has just dashed over to Europe to get a cuddle from Macron to sooth his nerves. Meanwhile Trump has called Putin and 'advised' him not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of Washington's sizeable military presence in Europe. Sources also told the Washington Post that Trump expressed an interest in follow up conversations to discuss the resolution of Ukraine's war soon. According to the papers Trump is proposing an 800 mile demilitarised zone, which will mean Ukraine giving up land but it will not be going to Russia and it would mean forces from Europe and the US policing that zone. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 12:46:40Copy HTML Putin has denied taking such a call, fake news he said, he should know as the expert on fake news. It's got to the point now where we can never be sure what we're hearing is true hence the proliferation of conspiracy theories - we can believe anything we want and the internet will support us if we dive deep enough. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Stupid face, childish whining voice? I should, as an American, be outraged at a foreigner making such remarks about our beloved President-Elect. Elected via a landslide victory of which mine was one of those votes. However, upon further review, I have to agree with you, Mark. Spot on. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 05:20:46Copy HTML Sumitomo rubber closed the plant outside of Buffalo right after the election catching the 1550 employees by surprise. The plant opened as Dunlop in 1923 & I had many friends who worked there over the years. High paying union jobs all gone, some blame the tariffs threatened by Trump as the reason for the closure. Sumitomo is Japanese owned & the raw materials come from overseas. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-11 08:05:49Copy HTML A Jewish football team played in Amsterdam last weekend and muslim mobs are waiting outside for the Jewish fans to leave the stadium, where they were attacked and many seriously injured. It was a miracle none were killed. 62 muslim mobsters were arrested and guess what? Not a single one was charged with anything and released, further reinforcing Islam's view that they are the chosen ones and the west is utterly gutless. Meanwhile a march against anti Semitism in London has been cancelled by the police siteing 'security concerns' meaning muslim mobs they have no inclination to confront, reinforcing to muslims that they can cancel any meeting or march they wish to. Our people don't have a civilisational death wish but our leaders certainly do. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-15 09:59:55Copy HTML Keir Stasi has always been an EU fanatic, it's communist, it's appallingly wasteful, undemocratic, overbearing and a politicians' first class gravy train. What's not to like? Now that our comrade is in office the overtures and scheming have begun. Messages of closer ties, hints at a new referendum, to reflect today's new and changing viewpoint (his) He will no doubt, absolutely no doubt, be secretly scheming with the EU to get Britain back into the club and without one of those unnecessary, tiresome referendums. Who was it once said, when told a referendum had gone against them, well commission one that goes for us? I don't know if you know but the vote to leave was the largest in our political history, 17,400,000 voted to get shut. I really like writing that figure down. However, it was anything but cut and dried and the pernicious left launched campaigns through parliament, TV and even the courts to try to prevent it, all to no avail but that has never stopped them trying. The man responsible for leaving was Nigel Farage and he is still suffering the consequences of his victorious campaign. He is slandered and recently attacked more wherever he goes, as he's never been forgiven for it as lefty's hate democracy. You watch now, because there will be a five year campaign to get us back in the crosshairs of the EU assassins. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-15 12:53:47Copy HTML "Crosshairs" "Assassins" are "trigger" words for easily influenced crowd, Major. They can get you purged over here in the land of the free & the home of the brave. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-15 12:58:02Copy HTML The danger is that Labour will edge us closer to Europe without us being aware of it, the frog in a pan of water thing. All dressed up as necessary to improve trade. There's no likelihood of another referendum. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-15 08:56:15Copy HTML And come to think of it, why was the Lone Ranger the only one? Where were the other Rangers? What happened to them? They never tell you that, do they? They're hiding some dark secret Tom, you know it and so do I. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-15 09:23:37Copy HTML The Lone Ranger was the only Ranger left alive. He then went on a lifelong journey to fight crime & or evil. Had to wear a mask to hide his identity for fear of being found by the bad guys who ambushed his group. Tonto was his faithful Indian companion who had to go to town for surveillance purposed & to get the shit beat out of him for being a redskin. The Lone Ranger was another role model for me, Art. Send the other guy to do the dirty work & take credit for his work. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-16 10:22:20Copy HTML When Trump announced this week that he would choose Marco Rubio as his secretary of state, it seemed for a brief moment that Trump might be making some kind of peace with the Republican Party he had shattered, humiliated, and reassembled. Of course, "Little Marco" has refashioned himself as a Trump water carrier & will move to the white house staff. Rubio even got an endorsement from Democratic chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner, who seems to figure that the country's best bet in the Trump II era was that the cabinet would be staffed with people like Rubio. Then Trump announced the rest of his cabinet nominees. Oh well! |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-17 01:21:20Copy HTML Black Britons should have cause to celebrate the first Black party leader, Kemi Badenoch. Conservatives expected everyone to observe the "ritual of withholding criticism" which is the standard when an ethnic minority takes a position of power. BUT WAIT..............This is a person who has said there is no such thing as the Black community & that Black people who find their employer racist must be in the wrong job. When deciding which immigrants should be allowed to enter the U.K., she has said not all cultures are equally valid. Badenoch has the right to her retrograde opinions, but others have the right for refusing to cheer an appointment that is at best meaningless, and at worst perturbing.

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-17 08:45:28Copy HTML The Left are becoming increasingly ludicrous in trying to paint the Tories as racist - they elect a black woman as leader but still the Left seek ways to prove that it means the Tories are racist. Labour chose a white man, but no word about racism there. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Politics Date Posted：2024-11-17 02:14:46Copy HTML Donald Trump's return to the White House is a disaster for Europe. EU economies are struggling & depend on the U.S. military to shore up NATO. Trump has threatened to pull out of the alliance during his first term & now threatens tariffs on foreign goods. European leaders had an emergency gathering recently to discuss whether to be herbivores or carnivores (Macron) & Starmer recently visited France for Armistice Day, the first time a British P.M. has done that since Churchill. Doom & Gloom is on the way in the form of the Orange Man.
