The Politics Thread

I think the majority of American citizens, who didn’t vote for him, already know. And quite a few who did are beginning to have serious buyer’s remorse.

Aye - caveat emptor, except the misery is spread further.

You are amongst friends, Twellsy and this is a Good Thing. Some things don’t need to be said, but I shouldn’t mind if you did.

Alas, it appears that they do. That’s pretty much how we ended up with this mess.

Yeah well, it all just got a bit worse. Absolutely according to plan.

The murder victim, a US citizen, was carrying a gun, legally and with a permit. This is Not Acceptable, it seems, and word among the Orange Gang is that ordinary citizens carrying guns is going to have to be controlled.

But only if that citizen is a Democrat voter, I assume.

What was that about the 2nd amendment, again?

The Fourth must be feeling a bit neglected too:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Uri Geller bought The Lamb - an island in the Firth of Forth - in 2009. He recently offered the use of it as a military base:

"Donald, this is a serious offer! An F-16 could get from my island to Greenland in just less than an hour….’

What about the returning Puffins and, for that matter, any semblance of sanity?

I have long had Uri Geller down as A Bit Strange, but not as stupid enough to support Trump. What a pity.

Hopeful thought: maybe this is a wind-up on his part? He has been known to do those before…

Doesn’t make me feel hopeful, tbh.

Everything Geller does has as its primary purpose making him more money.

In which case, surely Trump is not the star to which he should hitch his wagon: Trump only enriches those who already are very rich. Besides, Trump will be gone (crossed fingers) in less than three years; not a good long-term prospect.

I’m afraid not; he’s always been a full-on rabid Zionist, pro-IDF nut-job, to which he’s added a sideline of unquestioning MAGA support. This was reported in the East Lothian Courier in January:

Geller purchased Lamb Island, which measures about 100m by 50m, more than 15 years ago.

Now, in a social media video, he has declared Mr Trump as president of the island, off the coast of North Berwick.

[…]

“I am holding in my hands your honorary citizenship certificate of Lamb Island.

“Look, as the owner of Lamb Island, I am now happy to officially declare you the president of Lamb Island, effective immediately.

“President Trump, please announce Lamb Island as the 51st state of America and continue to make America great again.“

Gone off the deep end into the mad, then. You can’t just invite the rulers of other nations to make bits of England or Scotland or wherever else part of their fiefdoms, even if you own the title deeds of (say) a small country estate you’d like to give them.

I am confused

People are protesting about fuel prices being extortionate so they are blockading fuel depots and thus starving the rest of us from fuel

This includes police ambulance and fire services

They are ignoring the fact that their representatives are already in talks with the government about the problems in fuel supplies caused by the big orange baby

How many folk in need of home help or emergency services will have to die before the protesters by twatface cotton on to what they are doing being lunacy?

I despair

But at least I have a nice day to potter around in

Like the fuel depots have any control over Trump’s war.
