    Comment


    • Call me cynical...

      Former casino executive Jack O’Donnell on Thursday sounded the alarm on President Donald Trump’s latest money-making scheme – and warned that MAGA supporters could be the ones setting themselves up for financial risk.“He's going to leverage this presidency as much as he can. I think that's his top p...

        None of us have control over anything which those running the country want to do, they do what they want to do, regardless of we plebs. Exactly the same in the USA, Argentina, Russia and everywhere else in the World.

        Your concern for all these places is noted, however, your energy should be channeled into living YOUR life and not wasted on self-centred people running countries. Que sera sera.

          Trump's anti-democracy policies, his disregard for basic human rights and freedoms and his allowing of the Home Boys release from jail, and the re-emergence of the Ku Klux Klan are scarily reminiscent of Nazi Germany's Brownshirts.

          Yesterday 100's of people had the knock on the door and are now back in South America without trial or right of appeal.

          I find it very much my concern mein freund.

          President Donald Trump wasted no time kicking off his overhaul of U.S. immigration policies on his very first day in office

                Even Putin cannot match 200 "Executive Orders" issued in one day mon ami. Read about it, because it's splashed all over US media, he even instigated the orders using A1 technology. Forget using the US Court system, just let a computer dictate US policy.

                  He is President of the USA and was voted in democraticallyto do what he considers to be right for his country.
                  You are concerned that he allowed his Home Boys release from jail, people who were involved in the Washington demonstrations.
                  Are you not concerned that our own Government released murderers from overcrowded prisons in order that they could accommodate rioters and protesters who were involved in things after the Southport atrocities? These rioters, we are being told, were influenced by social media which was saying things about the alleged killer. It now appears that our own PM knew things about this killer within hours of the incident, however, he said and did nothing and this resulted in unlawful rioting.
                  Trump is dealing with illegal immigration meanwhile we have had more people arriving on boats in recent weeks that we have ever seen previously and all are aided and abetted by a government who insist that these people are picked up and treated humanely, which is good to see, however, we are paying the French unknown amounts of money in order for them to stem the flow ---that is a real success, n'est ce pas?

                  You are very much a political animal of your own admission, however, rather than channel your energy in the way of Trump, Palestine, anti Israel etc., surely it would be better aimed at things much nearer home. That would give me the relaxed frame of mind that someone who is so aware of the World's woes is doing something about things in this country which may or may not help the people of this country.

                  I really need to know that your energies are channelled in the right direction so that I can carry on as normal in my local environment where our local MP continues to live in a posh area of Northumberland in a house allegedly purchased with money obtained from a union whose members have not received full pensions.

                  • Corruption and decadence spread like cancer mein freund.

                    We all know what goes on across the pond impacts us within about 2 years.

                    I just want to remind everyone that America elected a demented criminal president and as a consequence, we can no longer assume what we used to assume when it came to matters of law and politics.I know that sounds like a sweeping generalization, but sometimes you gotta swing hard if you’re going to ...

                      Yet another plea for funding --you really are an expert but they will never get anything from me. I'll bet that they don't even have a cryptic crossword.

                        • ‘Contempt is a dangerous way to lead a country’: here is the sermon that enraged Donald Trump
                          Mariann Edgar Budde

                          This week, the Bishop of Washington delivered a sermon in front of President Trump urging him to show mercy towards LGBTQ+ and migrant communities. The president condemned it as ‘nasty’. We reproduce it in full

                          O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on Earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

                          Jesus said, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell – and great was its fall!” Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

                          • "Shackled migrants marched onto military plane after Trump orders deportation crackdown. Chained men were seen boarding planes for repatriation, rounding off first five days of president?s mass deportation drive."

                            A man of his word Mr Trump, five days to do what the Uniparty has been promising us for 15 years. No wonder Reform is leading in the polls.

                            In other news,

                            "Israeli forces continued a sweeping crackdown across the West Bank as the assault on the refugee camp continued, in an operation Israel has called ?Iron Wall?. Security forces raided towns around Nablus and Jenin, and the Palestinian news agency Wafa said Israeli military bulldozers had moved deeper into the refugee camp and destroyed several homes. Hundreds have fled the camp and surrounding areas since Israeli forces began an operation there four days ago. Late on Friday, an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near the West Bank town of Qabatiya killed two people. The Israeli military said the attack had targeted a ?terrorist cell? inside but gave no further details."

                            Like I said last week mon ami, if the PA can't sort out the terrorist scum, the IDF will do it for them.

                            • The mad right in full action eh sinkov? Mexico refused permission for a US plane full of expelled migrants to go through their airspace. The Mexican air traffic controller echoed my own sentiments "Pfhuck you cabrones!"

                              Go on SKY documentaries and watch the "King of the Apocalypse" and then tell me again you would like to up and move to America.
