How should I interpret "They’re a Brics nation, Spain. Do you know what a Brics nation is? You’ll figure it out,"? *David Lammy is a two faced clown, but it increasingly goes with the territory.

That sounds like it could be spoken by Trump himself. "Mr Trump started his answer by saying “Spain is very low,” referring to its defence expenditures, but quickly veered into speaking about Brics. “They’re a Brics nation, Spain. Do you know what a Brics nation is? You’ll figure it out,” he told the reporter from the presidential desk in the Oval Office." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/donald-trump-spain-brics-b2683680.html

I was being generous in presuming that he knows how the terms BRICS originated. Do you think he thought that B was for Spain?

He thinks that Spain is the S in BRICS. Either he is monumentally ignorant or his faculties are failing him.

I think you have things the wrong way round - it is the very ability to do a reverse ferret in the full glare of publicity without batting an eyelid that makes for a successful politician. Integrity is a hindrance; scruples are merely baggage that will hold you back. As a wise man once told me, nice boys don't win prizes.

The UK has the highest percentage of people receiving disability benefits in Europe - over 21% of the population. Italy and Spain, in comparison, both are at 5.3%. Something doesn't seem right there. Disability benefits have been used for years to allow successive governments to trim away at less 'sacrosanct' allowances without leaving people fully destitute. But now, when there is no fat at all on the rest of the benefit system, the only option is to question why we are, on paper at least, so chronically more sick than the rest of Europe. https://oaktreemobility.co.uk/help-and-advice/health-and-wellbeing/top-10-european-countries-with-the-highest-disabled-populations-how-do-their-benefits-stack-up

And the repercussions will be felt for decades to come - the Russian youth, desperately needed to propel the nation's industrial base forward against an increasingly more capable world, is being lost. While the rest of the world continues to grow and develop and innovate, Russia persists in continuing this slow motion seppuku.

Forget last week. It's the next 4 years of this mentally deficient criminal that we need to worry about.

Sure, I am referring to the clown shoe who is signing presidential pardons for violent thugs without even understanding what he is actually signing. That said, he doesn't seem to understand much. Only yesterday he thought that Spain was the S in BRICS. Maybe a dementia check is in order.

Of course, it's someone else's fault that this clown shoe doesn't know what he's doing!

REPORTER: You would agree it's never acceptable to assault police officers? TRUMP: Sure REPORTER: Among those you pardoned is a guy who used a stun gun on a police officer. Why does he deserve a pardon? TRUMP: Well, I don't know

You need to brush up on your history - it's lacking.

Day 1 and this clown is back in charge of the US. Oh come back Biden.

Indeed - his was less guarded previously but now he has realised that his message needs to be tailored to suit the people he wants to convince. Well done, sucker,

What a complex individual he is - he claims that he likes jewish people and considers himself to be 'Jewish by association', whatever the hell that is supposed to be, yet he believes that "Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them." It's true - there's nowt as queer as folk.

Well his tweet does suggest that he believes that "Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them." That is not really the thing you say about your friends.

Does musk like Jews now?

What's truly shameful are all the appeasers on here, making excuses for him.

"Fail"? Did you intend to log onto Facebook? This is from your own link, did you even read it? The Roman salute is a gesture in which the right arm is fully extended, facing forward, with palm down and fingers touching. In some versions, the arm is raised upward at an angle; in others, it is held out parallel to the ground. In contemporary times, the former is commonly considered a symbol of fascism. (highlighting in bold is mine).

Why does it seem made up? You are clearly unsure about it's provenance yet you are bold enough to call it "straight up propaganda lies". So do you know or not?

If he said 'free Palestine' you would brand him an anti semite before he has stepped off the podium, but he gives not one but two nazi salutes and you rush to his defence. Some things are beyond parody.

I am happy to reassure anyone who may be worried about the rise of the hard right in England that Scots still see through this snake oil salesman.

Your posts invariably remind me of this quote by George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This glorious red victory you long for will not be the end. It will be the end of the beginning.

From reading your posts, it would seem that you aren't sorry at all that Ukraine is experiencing losses. Why you cheer on the aggressor is beyond me, but if massacres of civilians, the use of chemical weapons, torture and rape of civilians are things you admire, I can see why you might be so fulsome in your support for Putin. Although things in the east are maybe not quite so dire as you suggest. I imagine the people of Kursk are more than happy to finally be away from the clutches of the evil empire.

Especially the Russian prediction that they were pushing at an open door, and that Kyiv would fall within three days!
