Aye, I think we all expected Trump to be a bit more brazen second time round, but I'm not sure that even the most cynical of us expected this

Fuhrer, nope, he's a king (fucking hell)

 

A mate tonight suggested his actions are because he wants to be the greatest president but I think he wants to be the last fucking president.   
 

America is gone like. Europe has to step the fuck up now. No longer can we shirk our critical role.

I was listening to a scientist on this yesterday. He was clear covid was almost certainly leaked (probably accidentally) from their Wuhan lab. Ftr, I've always considered this a possibility but was keen on it being backed by scientific evidence. It sort of is now. At least, the scientific circumstantial evidence is overwhelming.

That seems to be people close to Trump rather than Trump himself. That said, it's undeniable fact that Trump gravitates towards human traffickers - given his closeness to Epstein and Diddy - so it's fair to assume he'd have a lot of time for the Tate cunts too.

 

The thing about covid "conspiracy" is that the truth is being suppressed. It's been made into something bigger than it was because people who support these alt/far right fucktards are sharing a single braincell. Everyone I know largely agrees it probably leaked from a lab, but don't jump to conclusions. The idea that the truth is being suppressed is fucking stupid too considering I have seen and heard it discussed loads of times on the TV, radio and internet pretty much since the outbreak happened.

 

I don't think we need a full enquiry because China will just fiddle the results anyway. If they haven't come out and told the truth now, over five years later we aren't getting anything out of them during an investigation.

 

I prefer the Death to 2020 theory that the first case happened because a scientist in Wuhan had sex with a bat. Which is difficult, because bats tend to fly around a lot.

It wasn't a point about the origins of Covid.  I agree, there is little doubt.  It was rather a point about whether China is a "good" trading partner.  It isn't.  It's as much of a bully as Trump's new vision. 

Also, it is currently causing dangerous near collisions with aircraft and shipping in what it claims is its territorial waters, while happily practising war games in territorial waters of other nations.

The belt and roads programme is merely an extension of its standover tactics.

If Trump screws over Ukraine, he will definitely screw over Taiwan.  China is just waiting to see.

One of the few Democrats actually saying anything. Along with AOC who seems at risk of being arrested.

 

So basically, the actual left wing of the democrats are the only ones prepared to say anything. He attempts to correct every lie here, it's a nice little speech.

 

Why couldn't we have had Bernie as US president..

Biden & co are utterly complicit in Trumps return. Completely fucked the investigation into Jan 6, some would say deliberately to save opening up a can of worms that would’ve finished politics as it stands in the US and the income streams it’s elected officials are currently creaming in. I can’t divulge who’s suggested that but her initials are Sarah Kendzior 🤐

I wonder if Trump does pull troops out of Europe. Would they pull out of their bases in the UK?  They have a fuck load here.  Would they give up places like Menwith Hill and Fylingdales for example?

Are they air bases? I imagine they will want to keep a strategic presence. I would like to see them booted out. 

 

I can't embed X/twitter posts at all now for some reason (from copied and edited links). Probably for the best.

They're basically CIA listening bases.  The big air bases are all down in Suffolk now.

Starmer visits Washington next week. Does he tell the cunt to make his mind up about NATO membership?… to all intents and purposes in the last month the US has told Europe to GTF. I think we should just call his bluff. He’ll want something out of an ongoing relationship but after the last week we should tell the cunt to fuck off 

[Gemmill 49241]

Aye I agree. We need to start treating him with the same level of disdain that he's treating all of the US's former allies. If you kiss his arse, there's a decent chance he'll call you out for kissing his arse a week after you meet him anyway. Trump's America can absolutely get fucked.

Faslane on the Clyde as well as our nuclear sub base it’s the staging port for the yank subs on North Altlantic patrol (which is a permanent thing).

 

Hamper them if it was closed to them, of course Scottish government want it closed completely.

Anybody who still thinks we should unilaterally give up our nukes wants sectioning imo.

As if Vance and Rubio are waiting to take their lead from Nigel Farage.  Stupid cunt. 

 

Tim Montgomerie basically spotted that the Tories were in terminal decline, and just hitched his wagon to Reform so that he'd still get invited on political panel shows, the weird creep.

Yeah, it's a great speech. 

To answer your question, you know why. If Hilary Clinton can be successfully branded a communist, Bernie has no chance. The US is fucked. 

[Renton 23440]

I'll add that Bernie just doesn't have the reach either unfortunately. That video is doing a lot better than most of his do ( I do subscribe), but in sharing terms it hardly touches the sides, with 2.2 million views currently and approximately 2.1 million of those being from @Rayvin.

This is the thing though - I don't think that's true. For all I still harp on about centre, left and right, I don't think it comes down to those lines anymore. Hillary wasn't beaten because they called her a communist, she was beaten because they said she was owned by wall street and was an advocate for the status quo - and she absolutely was both of those things. She used to get paid a fortune to give speeches to wall street bankers in the run up to her candidacy. It's now about meaningful change versus a vested interest in keeping things as they are. We keep fighting this with the wrong tools, although it's understandable in a way that we do. The right knows that people want to take a sledgehammer to the system, so they co-opt that anger  and try to aim it at the left and woke values - but the right wing were cheering on Mangione when he executed that CEO. The MAGA right are anti-corporation. They see the Democrats as an elite protecting big business, big pharma, and the 'deep state'. I see them as the same with the caveat that the deep state is a nonsense.

 

I've read many analyses on Sanders vs Trump in 2016 and personally I'm convinced that Sanders wins that. His probable voters were better positioned in swing states than Clinton's were for one thing, but ultimately he polled better against Trump than she did consistently. I don't wanna rehash all this because we did it to death, but we have to stop shooting down left wing candidates just on the basis that if the centre can't win, the left can't win. Your thinking here locks us into a binary situation where anyone who wants to radically change the system because it's fucking shit has to vote right wing because there's no other game in town. And yet right and left agree on almost everything economically at the grassroots level - which is why the whole woke culture war bullshit is so crucial to the right.

 

We need to have a singular message now, and that message has to be - Eat the Rich. Republican, Democrat, all of them.
