I don't hear these idiot men complaining about the number of women in the IDF - 34%

Authoritarian regimes have a variety of descriptions for what this represents.

The Nazis, for example, called it 'protective custody' and said that these people were being incarcerated for their own protection from a populace outraged by their behaviour.

So - all crime is committed by poor people? That's what you're saying?

Trump isn't poor. Epstein wasn't poor. Trump appointees aren't poor. There are thousands of crooks and grifters and CEOs - whose names I don't know - who are clearly not poor and yet are committing crime.

I mean - I love what they're doing to Trump.

But it's dumb to compare what the press does with what satirists do.

No, they're not practising.

They're doing exactly what the Trump administration wants them to do: intimidate by their presence.

We can't prove they're wrong. But they can't prove they're right.

Weasel words.

Surely that's a photo of Fallujah?

Unlike Trump, Miller is not lazy, ignorant and poorly informed. He must know that he's talking total bollocks when he says DC is like Baghdad or Fallujah.

He's a great example of how truthfulness has been destroyed in Trump's America and how the impulse to lie to the public now has deep roots.

I would love to know which senior Republicans have refused to vaccinate their children.

Hegseth was asked by the press where the homeless DC people his soldiers are going to 'deal with' were supposed to go. His answer was that this problem wasn't in 'his lane'.

Apparently in 'his lane', though, is the question of same sex marriage and women's suffrage.

No - I'm not saying that. Reports from NBC, ABC, The Guardian say that there were 'hundreds' of demonstrators at MacArthur Park in an anti-ICE protest.

It's pretty clear from the footage (that's been claimed was from this event) that there were more than 'hundreds'.

No it's not. It was NOKINGS march in June.

12.08.2025 09:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Mainly because there wasn't a march in LA on 9 August.

This footage is from a NOKINGS march in June.

Yes, I guess that defending your country from unprovoked military aggression is 'going to war'.

Asswipe.

Dunno. I just know that this footage has been (deliberately?) mislabelled.

11.08.2025 18:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

There was no media coverage because this event did not take place in LA on 9 August. It's a NOKINGS rally that took place in June.

Violent crime in DC.

Trump pretending that he's tackling 'violent crime' in DC is just a fucking joke.

January 6th, you fucker.

We're now going to be told that Trump always obeys judicial rulings.

11.08.2025 15:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

What he's doing is nothing to do with solving homelessness; it's all about how DC looks - nothing else.

11.08.2025 08:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No! This footage is NOT from LA on 9 August

And the bodyguards are all put up in Trump properties. And then Trump charges the government for their accommodation.

And if he had worked for Roosevelt, he would be discussing with Hitler which land Britain would have to give up in order to stop the killing.

There's a big difference between being wrong and lying.
