  1. You have the right to hold whatever beliefs you have and if you are anti-abortion, then fine. I obviosly don't agree but I acknowledge it's your belief but unfortunately for you the law isn't on your side and women have the right to abort up to 24 weeks regardless of whether it's 'for financial or social reasons'. The law is also VERY clear about protesting abortions and doesn't allow ANY protests within 200m of an abortion clinic. It is irrelevant if the protestor is loud, jumping up and down, waving a red flag or in this case silently praying - proximity is the problem and this women clearly broke the law. Saying that, she did get her charges dropped and received a civil claim payment (more I reckon because it was becoming too political for all the hassle) and I'm not sure if you know but this all happened in November 2022! So Trump jumping on this bandwagon under a 'freedom of speach' BS now is typical Trump, playing up to his evangelical buddies and trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Don't worry that it was all settled out of court and both parties understood they perhaps went a little bit too far but most importantly, it happened in Britain and the last time I checked, thankfully he's not British. He does think he's the King of the world of course but he's definately not British. And I think we all know how he would react if Starmer sent officials over to America to meet with pro-abortion groups. He'd go even more banana's than he currently is.
  2. What's the bet that if this isn't all just his usual BS (highly likely) then it's either exactly the same or even worse than the Obama led Iranian Nuclear Deal agreed in 2016 that Trump then promptly cancelled in 2018? His habit of creating a problem and then solving the problem HE created is truly something to behold.
  3. For all you Trump fans - here's an actual website tracking his golfing, backed up by video evidence https://trumpgolftrack.com/ Total days in office -127 total number of days playing golf - 24 % of time spent golfing - 18.9% That's 1.33 games of golf per week and when you consider he's been overseas etc, that's more likely twice per week when he can. I know retired people who play less than that.
  4. I'm not entirely sure why you keep banging this drum. No one is saying it's just another medical procedure - of course it's different - it's different emotionally and psychologically but what it shouldn't be seen as is so different as to be dictated by religion and/or politics. I'm not also sure what you are eluding to when you talk about 'the straight facts are horrifying'. In the UK, you can abort anytime up to 24 weeks and it's very safe. After this it is agreed by medical professionals a fetus is considered 'viable'. The definition of viable is generally considered the point when a fetus has a reasonable chance of survival outside the womb. There are exceptions of course, primarily when the woman's life is at risk or if the child would be born with a severe disability, all of which is pretty sensible, scientific stuff and not particularly 'horrifying'. What most pro-abortion people (myself included) 'know in our hearts' is this is not a religious matter and it's certainly not a political matter. We also know the law allows people to voice their anti-abortion stance (freedom of speech and all that) but this right shouldn't include harassing women that are choosing abortion (also their right). The 200m law is therefore sensible and like all other laws, if you break it, expect to face consequences. And again, it is no business of any other country, especially overly religious America and certainly not Trump trying to pander to his white evangelicals to gain political points.
  5. Within 200m of the clinic. What part of this are you not getting? Go pray wherever you want with your anti-abortion views. Just make sure it's over 200m from an abortion clinic.
  6. Really? That's the best you can come up with? I'm doubting that there are too many women left with major emotional and psychological distress after a root canal. An abortion is not an easy thing for the VAST majority of women and what they definately don't need is some religous nutter screaming in their face that they are murdering a child and 'sinning before God'. The law is there for a reason and like all laws, if you break it then you face the consequences. And more importantly, UK law has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
  7. Yeah we are absolutely certain. He shows us this on a daily basis. And isn't it slightly convenient that the 'causes' he seems to choose are often aligned with pampering to his religous backers and/or right-wing politics? And whilst we are it, this bastion of free speach is doing his utmost to ban speach that HE doesn't like (supporting the Palestinians for example) by putting illegal pressure on the likes of Harvard and other educational institutions. Freedom fighter my backside.
  8. Yeah because religous zealots often picket chiropodists and proctologists, shouting, screeming and antagonising anyone who enters. Now where's that eye-roll emoji?
  9. When will your utter devotion to Trump ever end? Your sychophantic adoration is really quite embarrassing. I'd say get a room but you've probably already got one - adorned with Trump NFT's, red caps and golden trainers.
  10. So since the end of WWII, America used Europe as its 'front' for combatting communism, establishing US bases and filling the continent up with nucleur weapons but now when a strong response is required, Trump (I won't say America as I don't believe most Americans think this way) wants VERY little to do with it and is hard pressed to find any criticism of Putin. However, he is happy to publicly dress down Zelensky. “He’s killing a lot of people. I’m not happy about that.” - give me a break. Why doesn't he be done with it and just slap the back of his hand and call him a very naughty boy! You can't have it both ways - if you've declared yourself the 'leader of the free world' then start backing down when you need to act like it and antagonise the very partners you have cultivated over decades, then don't be surprised when you are ignored by the likes of Putin, who is playing Trump for the fool he is. NB. And no one is saying Europe shouldn't be doing more and spending more. But the US is the self-proclaimed 'big dog' in the fight and Trump needs to start acting like it rather than the lap-dog he is currently.
  11. Of course not, don't be ridiculous, but you can actually see him on the course if you want:- Ot you can just Google;- pictures of trump on the golf course 2025. There's plentyof pictures to choose from.
  12. So your 'proof' is a 4 year old quote from Trump himself. It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic. Anyway, there's plenty of evidence to prove that this time round he's spending even more time on the gold course, with one site completely dedicated to it:- https://trumpgolftrack.com/
  13. Well that must have been before he found out the benefit of direct influence through crypto coins and his crypto exchange that has added nearly $3 billion to the family coffers in less than 6 months. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-family-net-worth-crypto-investments/ This is also of course not including the many, many property deals that the Trump business is initiating. 'Before Trump began his visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, his sons Eric and Donald Jr. had already traveled the Middle East extensively in recent weeks. They were drumming up business for The Trump Organization, which they are running in their father’s stead while he’s in the White House. The Trump family’s business interests in the region include a new deal to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar, partnering with Qatari Diar, a real estate company backed by that country’s sovereign wealth fund. The family is also leasing its brand to two new real estate projects in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital, in partnership with Dar Global, a London-based luxury real estate developer and subsidiary of private Saudi real estate firm Al Arkan. The Trump Organization has similarly partnered with Dar Global on a Trump Tower set to be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and an upcoming Trump International Hotel and luxury golf development in neighboring Oman'. https://apnews.com/article/trump-business-interests-family-middle-east-cryptocurrency-cbb7d2354304ce0308800819944cf3f8 I think the most corrupt POTUS ever will not be making the same mistakes as he did last time around (that's if it did in fact cost him money) and is cashing in BIG TIME for his 2nd term.
  14. You do realise these “media distortions” you are so happy to blame come almost exclusively from what he actually says? There’s no “distortion” when you can see for yourself and hear with your own ears or simply read one of his many, many unhinged tweets. You don’t need “distortions” when it’s literally coming from the horses mouth.
  15. It seems everything is “above your pay grade” but rather than do some simple research (there’s plenty of other sources to corroborate what I am saying - Google is your friend) you’d rather go with the Trump narrative. Illegal immigrants don’t get Medicare. Fact. Trump wants $900bn cut in services. Fact. The ONLY way to do that is to take a large saw to these programs. Fact. Now this may be shocking to you so you might want to sit down but Trump and his cohorts lie ALL THE TIME and they are certainly lying about this. The point though is whether you want to know the truth or sit in your Trump bubble with your fingers in your ears loudly screaming “la, la, la” like most Trump fans do?
