Re：Politics Date Posted：2026-08-22 10:22:10Copy HTML "The police are the enemy of the people" Dangerous talk, sounds like you've been indoctrinated yourself by the lunatic Far Right. Are you still in thrall to the leader of Restore Britain? I am gobsmacked by this talk, Art. I am forced to have another donut & write a traffic ticket to make my quota, for old time's sake In Great Britain, the police have failed the British people. Instead of doing law enforcement, they are enforcing woke. I do support law enforcement that is not woke. You mean it's not Bobby's on bicycles two by two anymore? |

I think that some cities have a walking and bicycle patrol in the downtown area. I do not know about Great Britain. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2026-08-23 05:31:17Copy HTML We do still see police officers on foot, but more often the less empowered PCSOs. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：Politics Date Posted：2026-08-23 01:55:08Copy HTML Just some of Trump's unfulfilled promises.
Doge checks
Tariff checks
Greenland hospital boat
10% APR on credit cards
Meds being 1500% cheaper
$2 gas
Release Epstein files
Reopen Hormuz which was already open
Cheaper groceries
What happened to these promises he made to John & Mary you ask? Some say none of these made Trump richer, so they never happened. Oh BTW, the National Debt has reached $40 Trillion. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2026-08-23 03:50:01Copy HTML January 20, 2021
The Dutchess of Sussex had a meeting with California governor Newsom & she requested that he appoint her a U.S. Senator from California to take the position vacated by Kamala Harris who was elected Vice President. Two days later Newsom appointed someone else. I always wondered what "working royals" meant. The Dutchess is denying that report, Newsom has remained mum.

All politicians over-promise and under-deliver, but Trump has made it an art. Realization is slowly creeping over the US electorate and about time too. |

Re：Politics Date Posted：2026-08-24 06:13:12Copy HTML Duchess, no "t". Dutchess County, N.Y. with a "t" must be spelled wrong? |
