So the tailed wagged and the U.S. is now at war with Iran.

You might want to ask those who you say are claiming Trump has changed his mind.

And yet AOC packs venues when she holds rallies. Go figure.

And yet: It is reliably reported Trump is ignoring US Director of Intelligence and Defense Secretary Hegseth. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/trump-tulsi-gabbard-rain-israel-nuclear-weapon.html https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/after-tulsi-gabbard-trump-shuts-out-pete-hegseth-in-iran-war-plans-fuels-concerns-of-rogue-military-moves/articleshow/121958375.cms https://newrepublic.com/post/197005/trump-iran-plans-hegseth-gabbard

The criticism of Trump’s ‘2weeks’ remark is not about the time period, but the fact that it’s his go to response to so many decisions that need to be made. It’s a response that is clearly not based on any other than Trump’s incompetence. He doesn’t have answers he doesn’t have a plan, he lacks any semblance of competence. Those who pay attention to the gap between what Trump promises and what he delivers recognize his constant use of ‘2 weeks’ for what it is, yet more evidence of a weak man who has no idea what he is doing. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna214089

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has responded to both of these very serious matters. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/20/palestine-action-to-be-banned-after-vandalising-planes-at-raf-base

Moreover, British companies and organizations absolutely do recruit employees from overseas and have done for decades. Not just fruit picking, care work and cleaners but also Doctors, Nurses, Health Professionals, Engineering, Academics, Financial Services staff, Chefs…. And very many more positions for which there is a shortage of educated and trained applicants to fill positions. The international mix of professionals within organizations is often a significant factor in their success, it’s an absolute necessity within multinational corporations. Clearly some folk have lead lives sheltered from such realities.

Correct, and the ruling was that they didn’t have to. Which kind of muted the question you asked.

Since UK companies had the right to employ who they wish.

More importantly a poll from Murdoch’s NYP, we need to update the following:

You seem to have a short memory. Its not that long ago that we were being constantly told that all wars that started during a President’s term of office were that President’s wars. It’s not that long ago we were being told a President was a warmonger.

Which other politicians is this thread discussing?

The only reason to expect this was Trump’s promises. But of course he’s a liar, his promises are worthless. The problem he now has is he stood on an isolationist platform, MAGA don’t want America involved in foreign wars. Does he listen to his base or does he let the tail wag the dog. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/bannon-carlson-greene-iran-trump-israel-b2771202.html

Now there’s common sense.

He’s changed his story on US involvement multiple times already, his only consistency is his resort to ‘two weeks’. Two weeks does at least give him time to be instructed that MAGA doesn’t stand for let the tail wag the dog.

Correction, Director of National Intelligence. https://www.dni.gov/index.php/what-we-do#:~:text=The Director of National Intelligence serves as the head of,of United States interests abroad. I look forward to hearing a challenge to her testimony that has some traceable evidence.

“ Israel’s Strikes on Iran’s Nuclear Program Is a Necessary Defense Against a Global Threat” It seems the U.S. Secretary of Defense thinks otherwise: https://responsiblestatecraft.org/tulsi-iran-bomb/

So totally off topic then.

The driving factor is the move to advertising first away from newspapers and then away from corporate media towards online on social media. Clicks get advertising income and outrage gets clicks.

There you go, triggered again, I didn’t mention Muslims. It would seem they have taken up residence in your own head.

And yet we are constantly being told about the undue influence of ‘left wing media’.

Not at all a surprise, here on this forum a core of members frequently treat us to ripped memes and social media videos which they believe to be news.

There’s a surprise. Closer to the religious extremists than you let yourself admit.

Well there you go again, more off topic trolling.

“I hear you, but I think there needs to be a line drawn as to when the fetus is a baby and has legal rights. It is certainly not 1 day after conception - although I do understand that to some people have a moral view that it does.” The line is drawn at the moment birth.
