  1. He said the war would would be ended on day one and last week said that all the hostages would be released last weekend!!
  2. If Trump lets Putin get his way that could happen in 3 to 5 weeks!
  3. Why don't you download them from Torrent sites?
  4. Agreed in the sense that he is only trying to do some of them and even then some are way begin schedule, Ukraine Hamas Hostages Tariffs etc etc
  5. You do love to make totally unfounded assumptions about the posters you respond to. As an ex Military Officer of 28 years service I of course know what it means and hence my comment about it being more emotive than just using the word traitor. As a side-line I must comment that I would hate to be a kid in your school during a discussion if the responses you give to poster's replies on here are any indication as to how you conduct responses to such discussions. BTW what subject(s) do you teach and to what level?
  6. 1. Since when did an article headline need to be a sentence? 2. What are the two fallacies? 3, Your second sentence makes no sense!
  7. Don't you mean "the owners who invented and post as Bob and many other annoying/contentious names are getting the clicks"!
  8. Why should a totally accurate heading be changed?
  9. What a pointless post, Trump was elected, unfortunately,! As she was not elected the border closure obviously did not happen on her non existent watch! How do you know if ANY presidential candidate will actually do what they promised to do on the campaign trail once they get into office? I can think of many that Trump has not achieved!
  10. Why do you complain about the use of synonyms? I thought they expanded one's vocabulary! Don't you teach/allow them at your school! I suspect that you don't like the word Quisling as it seems to many to be much more emotive than traitor!
  11. And a big fat orange one in the White House!
  12. Correct! I just had a quick look but don't understand what it measures! I don't think I will bother looking again! PS; The reason I did not/do not see it is because I have my screen magnification is set so that the main left hand column fills all my screen and the Topics, popular etc are down the bottom where I never look!
  13. Thanks. I actually thought it was a sarcastic post! Hence the emoji! PS; Just found it!!
  14. Your post seems to be just the sort of post(er) that the OP is referring to!
  15. Where is this table? 🤣
  16. The wartime coalition disintegrated in May 1945 as the war in Europe was ending and an election was held in July 1945 which Churchill lost and Atlee won! The war against Japan continued till Sept 45!
  17. In your case it probably means "Opinionated Pr!ck"
  18. You have got the wrong person here! I detest that idiot Trump!
  19. The OP is Trump not Harris!
  20. Probably because they are too embarrassed to admit what an error in judgement they made in voting for him!
  21. What does Zelensky know that we don't know?
  22. You said "By the way, I've been on both bases, have you? " Which two bases are you talking about. If you mean Faslane and Coulport then the answer is; many times between 1972 and 2000! I have served as an officer in RN nuclear submarines! Have you? I just do not know where to start with regard to that ridiculously inaccurate 10 year old "politico" link you provided. Did you actually read it in detail? I very much doubt it as it quotes the wrong Naval Bases, wrong guidance systems, makes no reference to the warheads, command and control etc etc! It also states the following (which you obviously missed) where it confirms the US support for the UK's Independent nuclear Deterrent! It quotes; "“It is in America’s interest to have an independent nuclear actor in the region, so that it complicates the decision-making for an aggressor,” Karako says. “Any attack on one NATO ally would raise the risk of retaliation from another under Article Five, and it’s not a case of piling all the responsibility on the United States. That will only work with operational independence.” BTW; since the warheads and guidance systems are totally independent of any US control how could/would the US actually prevent the UK from launching them? Once launched it would be a bit late for the US to complain! PS; Don't bother asking for any proof of my RN service career as I am obviously not posting any such proof on an open forum!
