Well beetles better get a run on. I think they are the only natural red dye.

It is plainly obvious to most (if not all) as to why this deal has happened and the timing of it.

Unsurprisingly President Biden’s farewell speech has attracted no comment here. Yet it contains many highly pertinent warnings on the consequences of what is happening in the USA.
There are many summaries which can easily be found. This is but one:-
eu.usatoday.com
It’s notable that the right wing press are concentrating on how the speech was delivered much more than what was said.
I urge everyone to read the messages with an open mind. Not listen to them as that could distract.
These are warnings for us all, whatever our politics.

Biden's warning that his Administration has set many booby-traps and significant obstacles and deficiencies for Donald trump to overcome and put right. 😀

Sleepy Joe's looks to warning about his own democratic party who was and is a threat to democracy.
Hopefully with voter ID put in place we never have to see them again.

Who do you think is doing that?

Not you obviously. Have you ever questioned any source quoted?

It’s really obviously my opinion. One I invited you to check by reading what was said.
There were issues raised which ought to transcend politics.

Of course. There are many dodgy sources quoted here. Look no further than the Mail for evidence of that.
We are though discussing the US President’s farewell speech, not me. What he said was poignant and not really political at all. Anyone who is a true believer in democracy ought to be concerned.

Right. So you can question a source when it suits.
There are other causes for concern than that a doddery old man managed to stumble his way though a speech written by someone else.

There are no valid concerns at all. I don’t doubt the speech would have been polished by an aide but the sentiments were very clearly his.
That he is not, and never has been, an orator is irrelevant in this context. He was not raising a rabble to storm the Capitol. He was offering important thoughts before he leaves office.
Thoughts that should concern everyone who believes in democracy and the rule of law. Not just dismissed because they weren’t delivered very well. The Mail is written well and carefully sub edited. It’s the thinking behind the writing which so often isn’t.

Some of his appointments, like these, appear intended to make him appear almost normal.
For sure it won’t make any actual difference. Just window dressing and rewards for support.

Trumps official portrait and his 'mug' shot...
f***ing GENIUS! LOL. Now in terms of what is to come, until I see a certain Steve Bannon at the heart of any US administration I am going to reserve judgement but in terms of trolling, then if this is the peak of it, it will be enough.

Sweaty Steve is out of jail and approaching Trump from the rear again, so who knows? If it does it won’t last long enough to actually have any effect. Bromances between such narcissists always end in tears.
