Now if that bullet at that rally had been 2 inches further right... I'd hazard a guess trump won't make it 4 years for whatever reason.
Blimey, where do I start? He invested over $600k in a Wuhan lab to 'look into possible coronavirus from bats' in 2014......6 years later there's a pandemic which he definitively said didn't come from a Wuhan lab and then later admitted it was possible it may have done. Hmmm. Told everyone that they didn't need to wear masks and then backtracked saying everyone needed to..... Said that two COVID jabs would stop transmission.....how did that go? Insisted that mandating vaccines was the right thing to do (hardly democratic) and then later back-tracked by saying that his stance back-fired and made people not want to take the jab! Thousands of people lost their jobs, including servicemen and women who have now been reinstated with full back pay! What did he actually get right!?!?!?! I am sure he's a very happy man he's been 'pardoned' by that doddering old fool Biden.
Definitely not weird for an innocent man to receive a 'pardon' by an out-going president.....very odd.
The sight of Musk's ugly mug being beamed on to the huge screen at the AfD 'do' was positively Orwellian.
And which of all the 'crimes' listed above for you think he should be prosecuted for and on what grounds? Should your orange hero be prosecuted for promoting bleach consumption?
Literally ethnic cleansing. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...000-pound-bombs-to-israel-undoing-biden-pause It would be interesting to hear our Friends of Israel's take on this.
And you thought he was joking about Greenland? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/25/trump-greenland-denmark **** is out of control. Time for EU and UK to tell him to **** off in no uncertain terms. There is no "special relationship" with a monster like Trump, for whom loyalty is a one-way concept.
Has Musk given up flogging his souped up milk floats? Sales must have dropped like a stone since he decided to make a bit of an ar5e off himself by waddling around in world affairs.
Does seem a bit of a strange move given the demographic of green progressives and reactionary petrolheads. Maybe he's just a Nazi at heart, **** the car sales.
The 'green progressives' as you call them ( the rest of us know them as w@n kers) that buy Teslas are in a bit of a bind. Carry on saving the planet and be taken for a Nazi sympathiser each time they nip out to Waitrose ,
I know GOBE has taken this on the chin but a reminder to keep personal insults out of political debates please.
Something I heard/saw this weekend (very busy) caused me to raise my eyebrows: Tesla's entire supply chain is in China... Wonder how that sits with the MAGA faithfull...
Hmmm I'm actually on the fence on this one. Possibly even leaning towards the Trump position. Trump's obviously doing Trump things but there's a kernal of truth in what he's getting at, which is that in the way the world is developing currently there's a choice really as to whether certain key places are going to be under American control, China's or possibly (though unlikely) Russia's. And you can see from a strategic perspective why as the Arctic melts all sorts of new and troublesome (from a US perspective) access points are opening up. It obviously shouldn't involve the US invading Greenland or whatever but I don't think that's really a likely outcome.
A possibility I guess. I think the problem with the EU is it struggles to speak with one voice on foreign affairs. The Commission is quite forthright but the member states have many different views and then you get bad actors like Orban who are able to scupper or delay some proposals.
Mrs Lloyd has just finished a long Zoom session with a very good friend of hers who emigrated to the USA about 40 years ago (which is quite depressing!). Anyway apart from the usual tripe they chat about, the friend was clearly quite shocked by what she's seen happening in the land of the free... People being taken from their homes to be deported, apparently. All a bit grim by the sounds of it
Rumours of a lot of fruit/veg farms in USA suddenly being devoid of workers, either from immigration raids or the fear of immigration raids. Which obviously leaves a lot of produce unpicked. Which is gonna lead to higher grocery prices in America. Own goal.
So the tariff trade war begins. Lots of Americans, including those that should know better, are talking about the US "winning" and Canada and Mexico (and China) suffering. It's not "countries" that will suffer. It is the people. Mostly those working class people that rely on exports for their jobs (in all four countries, including the US). It's the poor that will suffer when prices rise because companies will, almost certainly, pass on tariff costs to the consumer. Nobody wins in a trade war. That's why we have trade agreements. The less barriers between countries when it comes to trade the better. Ironically it was Trump's first administration that negotiate the The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that he signed on 1st July 2020. At the time he hailed it has a fantastic agreement for the US. Now he's quite happy, I suspect for he's own purposes, to rip it up.
