Topic: Trump
21. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Thu 9th Jan 2025. 21:44 After decades of seemingly constant improvements in living standards and lifestyles I wonder what effect the global financial crisis and the CoVid pandemic have had on people’s mindsets. I suspect that there are many people who are not enjoying the wealth or health they had expected and are looking for someone to blame, making them prey to Nationalist and Populist agendas. Throw in a deal of ignorance, and the rise of social media where algorithms will feed you a constant stream of bite-size chunks of prejudice reaffirming falsehoods and this is where you can end up. One of the many disappointing things about Trump’s ascent is it appears to be the antithesis pf the American dream where hard work and talent can bring success. In his case, he seems to have succeeded despite having a very narrow education and an absence of moral rectitude, due to a combination of inherited wealth and abuse of power, helped no doubt by acolytes who would seemingly sell their souls to do his bidding. Another frustration is the way the commentariat has been so wrong about him so often – he wasn’t going to run for president, he wasn’t going to win the nomination, he didn’t really want to be president anyway, he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t run again, America wouldn’t elect a felon, the polls were wrong, he would lose the swing states and so on. Not sure what Musk`s doing though. They can`t both be King. Reply

He’s already been on Truth Social whining to his supporters that it was all a witch hunt. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply
23. Author: Parboiled Date: Fri 10th Jan 2025. 16:36 Could a USA President literally get away with murder? Our politicians do have certain privileges but they can only pardon themselves for inappropriate wind breaking! Reply
24. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 10th Jan 2025. 17:17 Does his appeal go to the Supreme Court which is stacked with Republicans? Reply
25. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 10th Jan 2025. 17:23 wee eck, Fri 10 Jan 17:17 Does his appeal go to the Supreme Court which is stacked with Republicans? I don’t think he has the full support of every Republican Senator though. Reply
26. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 10th Jan 2025. 17:55 I thought the Supreme Court comprised 9 judges and 6 of them were nominated by Republican Presidents? It doesn`t seem certain that he will appeal though. Reply
27. Author: DBP Date: Fri 10th Jan 2025. 18:36 Can he not just pardon himself? Or declare them null and void in some and have them struck off Reply
28. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 10th Jan 2025. 18:52 I don`t think he can pardon himself because the case was brought by NY rather than being a Federal one. Reply
29. Author: PARrot Date: Tue 21st Jan 2025. 22:17 Bletchley_Par, Thu 9 Jan 17:34 Carter should have never given up joint control of the Panama canal. The US has bases on Greenland and control the defense of it`s entire North coast. I think the 55k of people who inhabit will vote for independence from Denmark and the US will make the people an offer they can`t, and don`t want to refuse. I think you are right this time. Reply
30. Author: PARrot Date: Tue 21st Jan 2025. 23:47 Musk says in his speech, "We are going to have sensible spending." Then, in the next sentence, he says, "And we are going to Mars. Sensible spending to American "Christians" means cutting Medicare and social assistance to enable Musk to go to Mars. Well. I would love to be a fly on the wall on judgement day. Reply

One can only assume that in the new Terminator films they`ll yet again defeat Skynet. Reply

33. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 30th Jan 2025. 19:33 Trump has declared the cause of the air crash over the Potomac River was the result of the Democrats applying diversity rules in recruiting people for Air Traffic Control, some of whom were not qualified for their jobs. Needless to say there is no evidence to support this. The guy has absolutely no class at all. Reply
34. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Thu 30th Jan 2025. 22:18 And he knows this because he has common sense…..🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ a classless buffoon in control of one of the world’s superpowers. Reply
35. Author: buffy Date: Fri 31st Jan 2025. 01:08 Yet there were no crashes under Biden’s tenure but one under his. He is a disgrace of a man. He should be leading, not lying, to the American people, and he should have been showing sympathy to the families of those who lost their lives. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J.

36. Author: Back_oh_the_net Date: Fri 31st Jan 2025. 05:59 I’m genuinely struggling to understand why someone who uses a wheelchair and is also homosexual can’t be employed as an air traffic controller? The guy is an absolute Buffoon it’s almost as if we have somehow gone back in time and landed in the 60s again I read the other day that he’s also set to scrap diversity rules in the military as well Post Edited (Fri 31 Jan 06:02) Reply
37. Author: P Date: Fri 31st Jan 2025. 07:44 The conspiracy theories are coming out in volumes, mainly starting with it was an unpiloted drone helicopter - they really are the dumbest nation. Not sure why anyone would want to assassinate a plane full of figure skaters Reply

Not sure why anyone would want to assassinate a plane full of figure skaters The company are testing these things though, so you can see where it cones from, now, before you jump on me I`m not agreeing, but it is what it is. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply
