Manx man living in Virginia USA. Plastic Paddy. Offensive language from the outset. Bit of a lefty. Don’t follow me, I don’t know where I’m going.

Unless he has the power to nix the merger he’ll be pissing in the wind.

It’s like saying “don’t be scared of that toddler with a machine gun, it’s just a little toddler” - IT HAS A FUCKING MACHINE GUN.

I thought there was a rule about graven images.

I just thought about destroying a statue, should I wait for the police or hand myself in?

So here’s my take on the WSJ lawsuit:Murdoch has always been pro-Trump - esp Fox.

WSJ will settle out of court. Whilst everyone is wetting themselves saying “oooh, I can’t wait for discovery” nothing will ever be disclosed, and Murdoch gives a 9 - 10 figures $ to Trump that’s not donation.

I’d like to know the answer to that too. My guess would be legal professional.

What kind of town would erect a statue for someone whose main achievement is being a sex worker who managed to marry her sugar daddy?

You’re probably right. My thinking was (even taking into account Comey’s ineptitude- in your eyes) this would surely become a cause that everyone bar the cultists could see was wrong. Even as I type this I realise you’re right - he’d be fucked.

Insofar as Comey has the resources to fight any ridiculous charges they throw at him, and will further embarrass this administration in the eyes of the rest of the world and maybe some Rs too

This could be a good thing though - no?

I’m not trying to start an argument here, but: as a recent immigrant to the USA, it’s disheartening to see the left here doing what has been doing in the UK for decades, (maybe here too IDK) turning on each other instead of uniting against those pulling in the opposite direction.

This is fake. As much as I want to see him gone, this is not helpful.

The Schumer argument is correct insofar as it’s a choice between terrible and awful, but when has kicking the can down the road ever worked? Whilst a Government shutdown would theoretically shut down DOGE too, I fear that they could do irreparable damage during a shutdown with even less oversight.

Illegally firing government workers in the name of efficiency, only to have to rehire them again when it had been dragged through the courts, has to be the least efficient thing ever.

MAGAts “you can’t take away our guns - it’s in the Constitution”

Also MAGAts “End birthright citizenship and let Trump run for a third term”

They voted against 'preferred pronouns' and now they want people to use the ones they prefer? Seems a bit unfair 🤷 TikTok video by NowThis Impact

Every moderate GOP politician at every level should be the sand in the gears of the Trump/Musk program. If they don’t they are sending out a message that they’re ready to serve in the new fascist regime.

Is there still an ICJ warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest? If so why was he not arrested when he landed in the USA?
