Dave78 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Had a conversation today with my 8yr old daughter about Trump when she noticed him on C4 news. She knows who he is through school. It's an 'Educate Together' school, which are multi-denominational (a new thing in the RoI) and have a progressive curriculum. "Dad, do you like Donald Trump?" "No" "Everybody in school hates him. I want the President to be a girl". "I just want the President to be the best person for the job. Doesn't matter if they're a boy or a girl." So ended the lesson on identity politics (and the conversation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 From MAGA to MIGA in how long... wow. so so blatant as well... I wonder if Mueller will investigate. This guy is now easily the most dangerous individual on earth... I don't think he is going for 8 years... so he seems to be squeezing in every crazy idea his blackmailers demand before his short 4 years are up. The day he appointed Bolton you knew he was gone. But this is escalating at a crazy pace... He allowed Bolton to shit on his North Korea deal (which would have 'mad'e his presidency no matter what... and Trump knew the lad Kim was sincere... he knew it and fucked him anyway). Trump is lost.... totally gone. The embassy move, Golan, this pile of shit now, Venezuela, crawling up the Saudi's arse constantly while trying to sell them nukes ... Ok... worse than Clinton?

It is not in the least unusual for Julian Assange to become an Ecuadorian citizen. Having been granted political asylum, and having lived for over five years under Ecuadorian jurisdiction, naturalisation is a perfectly normal step. There are a great many refugees in this country who are now naturalised UK citizens.

thplinth Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 What is happening to Trump is the same as being done to Corbyn. Just shows the omnipotent power they have. He is the opposite of Corbyn but the same... They are (were) both leaders who think they can actually lead. Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Iraq... countless others long gone... They all thought they could run their own show too. Enjoy your life... but at least own up to the fact that we are the tacit bad guys in black not giving a shit... while evil rapes the world in our name.

thplinth Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) This is a really fascinating story that might explain a lot of the Russia, China and Iran hate we are seeing from the US & the UK/EU this last decade or so.

Also makes you wonder if the Western intelligence agencies are not nearly as intelligent as they need to be. Schoolboy error, really shocking.

thplinth Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 That yahoo (finance section is it! ha ha) article is ASTONISHING! But i only caught it due to the recent Press TV article getting some quotes on alt-news aggregations sites. How did this go under the radar of most, did you hear about this at all until now?...

As normally its pish shallow stuff with yahoo about twitter beefs, this one is a huge long form 2 author piece breaking down in detail a story with multiple angles. Reminds me of the build up to Iraq on every news station it was all WMD's then you'd get some 30 min hardcore political programme on at 3am where they actually interviewed real experts and you suddenly find out there isn't much of a case, and then when a big Inquiry comes out you go look we did cover it.

phart Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Bibi playing him like a drum JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to name a new settlement in the Golan Heights after President Donald Trump out of gratitude for the White House’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the territory. Netanyahu was touring the Golan Heights on Tuesday and said there was a “need to express our appreciation” to the president. He says he will advance “a resolution calling for a new community on the Golan Heights named after President Donald J. Trump.” Last month Trump officially recognized Israeli sovereignty over the territory it captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast War. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/23/netanyahu-golan-settlement-trump-1287655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
