Election Year or Fear!

This is getting really weird.
It’s Sith’s argument, not mine, but it’s also, first and foremost, a forum and as far as I can see, Andy, you haven’t asked Sith a question. You’ve just, in your own inimitable way, got annoyed and avoided answering anything directed at you.

Anyway, happy Martin Luther King Day everyone. Might be the last one the way things are going.

Meanwhile, Trump is getting more open. A letter to, was it Ambassadors or PM's, stating that he's doing his greenland thing because Norway (the government thereof) didn't give him the NPP he believes he so richly deserves. It's another huge bopped drollock by him with regard to Nobel.

1. When he first didn't get it he failed to recognise, or simply refused to, that the recently awarded prize was for actions on 2024. A period in which he wasn't President.

2. Nobel prizes are independent form the Norwegian government. It's simply that the Nobel Committee has its offices there.

He's going wild on tariffs again. I think he's playing with fire. If he does move on Greenland, it will be, IMO, for a mix of the cheated feeling he has because he didn't get the NPP and to get his hands on the rare minerals Greenland has and thereby make money for him, his family and friends. NOT for the good people of Greenland. He also seems to forget that the minerals are often under up to a mile of ice and the US, as yet, doesn't have the wherewithall to process the minerals.

A couple of year ago, in one of the political threads, I posted that the rich were moving in to take control of countries and we had to move quickly or become serfs, or words to that effect. That time is rapidly approaching. He's on the verge of becoming King Donald the First of America and he won't, again IMO, stop there.

Not for the first time, I'm not sad that I'm closer to the end of my life than I am to the start of it. The world is turning into a place I don't recognise and don't wish to encounter. However, I could easily have another 30 years on it so I'll keep plodding on, not liking the way things are going and being unable to do a great deal to stop them.

Here's the letter... it was to Norway's Prime Minister it seems...

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.
I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Has he completely lost his mind?

No it?s not just that although it does demonstrate his embarrassing weakness on that subject. I repeat, not respecting dignity of women is THE SAME AS not respecting the dignity of race. You still didn?t answer if you agree

Stop with the caps , it demonstrates an aggressive attitude and there is no need. I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Has Starmer or someone else said men can get pregnant?

Even if he has i still don't see that's worse than or the same as being racist, condoning rape, ***ual exploitation of women. and children.

Sorry about the caps didn?t mean to get all TTR on you

No he hasn?t, it was you who bought Starmer up. Zack Polanski has. AI says : Based on his public statements, Zack Polanski, as leader of the Green Party, would affirm that men can get pregnant.

Maybe be clear who you are on about going forward and details of whats been said rather than making it guess work.

To be honest i don't know loads about Polanski. Had to Google and assume you mean his reaction to Maxine Croxall.

I think she was right with her reaction. I have very little time for this level of PC if I'm honest.

Not sure using Polanski being a bit of an idiot is a great defence for Nigel.

1. Yes I will, surprised you weren't more aware of the leader of a currently riding-high political party

2. No not Maxine Croxall (although I agree with you about the rampant PCness), his stance reflects Green Party policy, open disagreement with being punishable by exclusion from the Party

3. I'm not defending NF, just identifying another point of view. Two wrongs don't make a right but they also don't make one wrong and one 'well, he was just being a bit of an idiot'...

Jenrick saying Truss should have been kicked out the party for her cack handed mini budget.

The mini budget Farage said was the best budget since 1986.

[SithHappens]

Good with his expenses claims though.

Pro Russian too
