US Politics

I've just got back from the States and saw the Democrat meltdown first hand. On their news channels they were very quick to start pointing the finger of blame at anyone and everyone from Biden to the electorate (of course) but only a couple of their commentators appeared to have "got" what had happened. The panel was open mouthed when a young female panellist, when asked what she thought the Democrats needed to do to earn back their lost votes, simply answered "Drop Progressivism".

Something I found really interesting though was that they seemed to agree that the bussing of migrants to Democrat led areas that had no real experience of what those near the border were living with was a game changer as it suddenly brought the problem, literally, to their doorstep. It appears they didn't know how to handle it and it very quickly became a problem shared.

Wouldn't it be a good strategy to follow here? Imagine the response in places like, say, Cornwall, or Brighton and Hove.

The UK is already dispersing asylum seekers around the UK. Those migrating here legally to fill jobs or study go where their work or studies take them. On my walk with the dog this evening I passed just 3 people. One is a nurse from Nigeria who is renting close by with her husband, also a nurse, and their children. The others were an elderly guy with obvious mental infirmity and his carer. The carer, from his accent, also appeared to originate from Africa. Things change, perhaps slower in some places than others, but a sizeable number of my wife’s nursing colleagues weren’t born in the UK and none of the consultants in her department were.

This is the world we live in and to imagine that racism and xenophobia will change it is delusional.

Nurses and carers aren't usually a cause for much concern. That tends to come more from street gangs and drug dealers. See how you feel when there are a few hundred of them knocking around.

Surely this gives Netanyahu a free hand for a couple of months. Thought you might want Trump in quicker.
Does nobody think Biden should be removed? Clearly not fit - even according to his own party.
Sometimes conventions should be changed.

Biden isn’t unfit at all. He has stability issues but he is thinking perfectly clearly.

He has promised a smooth transfer of power. Quite deliberately, in my view, emphasising the ethical contrast between the Democrats and Trumpism.

What is done quietly behind the scenes in the next two months to shore up the institutions against Trump’s prejudices we will have to wait to see. Presidents are not dictators, though one would like to be. They cannot do anything outside the constitution and the States themselves have a great deal of power. Gavin Newsome is already preparing California. I suspect he is also preparing himself to be ready to run in 2028.

Fortunately time flies by.

We have the drug dealers and the gangs running them.

None though appear to be immigrants. Just young pale and sad looking men parked in odd places doing deals.

Of course there are drug dealers, they're everywhere but that's not the point. When there are a few hundred more with far more ruthless tactics looking to take over there will be a big change.

At least he’s consistent. He is wrong more often than Willo predicts a Palace defeat and that’s going some.

My favourite one most recently was questioning whether Tommy Robinson had actually returned to the UK because he stated that ‘No-one had actually reported seeing him’.

It was then pointed out that it had been filmed live on the Sunday evening two days prior. In Full 4k HD!!! Tommy Robinson returning to the UK at Luton Airport, getting off the plane, going through Customs, walking though arrivals, posted on the internet, seen by hundreds of thousands AND it had been reported on the News. It is rare to find someone so out of touch but there we go.

I acknowledged that was wrong but at the time I wrote it had not seen a report.

What a big deal that is!

If you haven’t seen a reliable report then you cannot know if it’s true!

It’s rather sad that anyone is obsessed with trying to prove someone’s opinions were wrong when they are just opinions and there is plenty of time for them to eventually become true.

Y-L came back. Why he decided to do so and position himself as a martyr escapes me. Maybe there is something about his financial or personal circumstances that isn’t known. Maybe he needs to skim more money from his support base.

It certainly wasn’t because of any respect for British justice or an intention to clear his name. He pleaded guilty.

As a lot of his support comes, allegedly, from the USA and Israel, Trump is now back in the WH for 4 years and he can just as easily rabble rouse via the internet from anywhere, I remain convinced it’s more than likely he will, eventually, position himself abroad somewhere, out of the reach of British justice.

Not a prediction! Just an expectation or hypothesis.

The adults are back in charge now and will be taken seriously. Leaders across the world are getting thier act together now. And already talk of Peace between Russia and Ukraine. China wont be invading taiwan anytime soon. The war between Israel and the terrorists will be over soon and we will have world peace again very soon. He has a brilliant team behind him.

It terms of the election those of us who have switched off MSM the result has come at no shock. The only worry was the cheating. Trump was well prepared for it this time.

The main concern now is to Protect Trump at all costs and ensure he makes it to January and beyond.

Adult and Trump are not words that belong together.

Nor is the idea that he has a brilliant team. Trump doesn’t do team play. He has sycophants who depend on him for their survival. Disagree, you get fired.

He is a baby, who has grown old but never grown up or discovered the wisdom of age.

Bringing in someone like the nutcase Kennedy is evidence of his terribly poor judgement. We will see Alex Jones or David Icke next!

That’s a lot of words just to admit you were wrong 🥴

Let's all hope that this all comes to past.

Protecting Trump and getting him to office is the main key.....I don't trust the existing establishment at all. There are a lot of powerful people in the agencies with a lot to lose.

There are a lot of powerful agencies devoted to protecting the US constitution and ensuring peace and stability for the USA and, by default, the western world.

I trust them to protect themselves from attack by the people behind Project 2025. They have got their sock puppet into the WH. Now is the time to build moats around the castles and withstand a 4 year siege.

Didn’t he show respect by pleading guilty? Pity the racist Labour Councillor ( who still hasn’t appeared in court) didn’t follow suit.
Still glad you have moved on as you said you would 😂
 
Lies are told in election campaigns but I have to say I've never quite seen the scale that lies were told than in this election.

I've always said that Trump lies, but it also has to be said that he's more a bullsh1tter and troller and along with the lies also comes honesty.

The Democrats on the other hand portray themselves as moral people, yet are more guilty than Trump of lying and in the case of this election their lies were quite serious.......They made very serious claims that they knew were lies.

An example of a lie that was actually quite dangerous to public health was the lies told about Trump's abortion policy. They ran TV ads directly lying to women about it.

Here's a hearing where those lies are rebuked for the dangerous lies they were.
