TRUMP IS A See you next Tuesday

Found out which side this guy was on yet?
Doesn't seem obviously political to me, though who knows. I guess the various social media camps will be trying to theorise away mind you. Mormons are one of the most republican aligned demographics in the US, but the killer doesnt appear - based on stereotyping I grant- to be the sort to be motivated by that. I'm guessing a sectarian crime, or just bammery.
 
Chat show guy Hegseth telling all the US generals what's expected of them. Spoke for 40 minutes and was expecting applause... :sm113:

I know. It's like some lassie from accounts running the nations finances 🙄

Or the branch manager being top boy.
 
That moment when he realises that they are dingying him and he skulks off stage is glorious
No idea if accurate but the first comment says that the armed forces dont do applause by tradition, because most of their chats are about serious shit.

I mean generals like; not Billy from Larkhall trying to beat Billy from Airdrie in a neck em in one shoot out at the goodies
:coffee1:
 
There's such a division in the US right now which makes it the perfect time for a real third party to emerge.

You bring together some prominent Republicans and Democrats that are more centered. Throw in some anchors from.CNN, Fox and prominent figures who have a voice and platform like Rogan. Leave it open for former presidents and vice presidents to join. People who are open minded and could come together to form a more centered party, but ultimately have that reach and voice to promote the party.

Are they really talking about that as a serious possibility over there now?

Not that I've heard. I was just thinking out loud what I think would be a good idea. I mixture of Republicans and Democrats that are more centered leaning and open to debate and forward thinking. They don't even have to be politicians, most are corrupt anyway.

Actually when you look at it, most politicians have zero to fuck all life experience. Most not all have come from money, gone to private school, college and never actually worked a real job or rubbed shoulders with regular honest working people. And those are the clowns that end up telling us what's good for us and making the calls. Mental!

I agree with much of what you say there @SuperTortolano. I kind of thought when posting the above article of you. You said a while back that you have been better of in the US over the past few years and I would never dispute your own personal circumstances. I know that both you, @BurbankHibee and my good pal @barney , though kind of know BH vicariously but that's a story not for now, have added greatly about the Trump debate and associated related aspects, which I and others have appreciated, from folk on the ground.

Cannae dispute that I remember as though it was yesterday an article where an NYPD Union rep. back in early 1980's, in an article of what is now the RCA, a RCI affiliate in the US, defending a claim rejected by the high heid yins against a pay rise for cops on average was $30,000 to higher grade $45,000 and correctly comparing the wages of Congressman which was about $64,000 at the time and pointed out that, if I remember correctly political contributions to their campaigns by Big Business, Corporations, etc was over $64 million. His reaction before it became a trendy buzzword was ' Go figure '

Looks like Trump is maybe making progress towards something in Israel/Palestine with Hamas agreeing to release all hostages....

Hamas are in agreement with some of Trumps 20 point plan.
Several points need further discussion.
Hamas will disarm if / when the occupation ends.
It could happen?
Cynical folk will have their doubts.
I have lived long enough to be one of those people.

Yeah right. Once the hostages are released it’s a green light for Netanyahu to just level the place and annihilate the people without the need to tread carefully

No positive then for getting hostages out....

Is there any possible outcome which isnt a fiendish zionist plot?

Don't know if the outcome is a 'fiendish zionist plot' or not.
But I doubt anything Trump , or any other leader puts up as a plan is going to stop war in that area.
It's been going on since long before Israel came to pass as a nation.
And we, the 'british' instigated it and then washed our hands of the problems and gave it to the UN to deal with.
In my very ,very humble opinion, it ain't going away anytime soon.
Release hostages by all means, but that appeases the families only.

How did we instigate it?

We / LoN / UN attempted to allocate the territories of the caliphate to those it colonised. The arab world refused one such group getting a small and unpromising sliver. Surely they instigated it? Or perhaps that Islamic imperialism itself, though thats a long time ago now, and I appreciate this is the ome exception where imperialism doesnt automatically get the blame.

See also Christians Arabs and the Lebanon, the former made a good fist of it till, in a shock plot twist, Iranians and Palestinians fucked it up.

Exactly, they will do what they want, with the backing of trump . The only difference will be they wont be able to blame hamas as they flatten the place 😡

I'll ask you too Joe, is there any possible outcome which isnt a fiendish zionist plot, or simply more fiendish zionism?

What would you like to see happen that differs from the plan?

I’d like to see palestine having their own country which has feck all to do with israel and for them to gtf 👍
 
No matter what happens: fiendish zionists. Admirable candour Joe, I'll give you that.

By extension do you want the conflict to go on forever then?
Obv not, but it will . I don’t call it a conflict, which to me is a situation where both sides suffer casualties . Has the IDF lost any sodjers 🤔

Well whatever you want to call it, we need it to end.

What changes to Trump's approach would you like to see?

Israel to leave and the rest of the world to rebuild Gaza and feed the citizens, remove the blockade, none of which will happen, the genocide will continue and the world especially,trump will look on 🥲
 
I thought thats what hamas wanted, but not in the plan . Not really following it in depth, just don’t trust netanwotsisname. We shall see 🤔
Take a read. Its 20 bullet points, not a massive document to wade through;


Apart from the involvement of one Tony Blair, it looks alright to me.

The proof of the pudding etc, but I'd be interested in what you see wrong with this as it is written.

Vg , so whats hamas no happy about

They are genocidal maniacs that want israel obliterated and all jews dead and are happy for any number of their own to be slaughtered to achieve that end - indeed engineering the latter is central to their strategy.

Why would they be happy with a plan aimed at coexistence and Palestinian prosperity ?
 
Some pundits argue this sort of thing has driven the 'global south into the arms of china and Russia.

It's utter madness and should be all over the news. This is American tax payers money being basically laundered or spunked on some of the craziest shit ever. That money should be invested back into America.
