Starmer’s Brexit Reset: A Strategic Shift or a Sacrifice?
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Absolutely, and as I observed a couple of weeks back, Trump’s attack on the UK economy (cheered on by a number of the forum’s Brexit supporters) made the UK drawing closer to the EU an inevitable necessity. The EU is Britain’s largest and closest trading partner, it makes absolute sense to remove trading barriers.- 99 replies

He hasn’t rolled back Brexit. None of the things in this deal were listed in the Brexit vote. -

He’s extending by 12 years the fishing deal Johnson negotiated and in exchange getting lots of goodies for the British economy. Even British fishermen do well out of this deal, the removal of restrictions on exports to the EU will re-open the opportunity to sell their catch in Europe, an opportunity they were robbed of by Brexit. Add the benefits to British farming, security, access to EU defense spending and re-entry to Erasmus, it’s a great deal. It’s well past time to peal back the damage the Tories did under cover of Brexit. Starmer is on it.!- 99 replies

You’re catching on. Trump wants his version of the ‘Enabling Act’ Unrestricted power, AKA a dictatorship. -

There you go with your accusations of lying, accusations founded in your own ignorance. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt14-S1-1-2/ALDE_00000812/ -
Trump on Supreme Court: They should do what I want
Chomper Higgot replied to jerrymahoney's topic in Political Soapbox
It’s being attempted via the Supreme Court. His appeal to the SCOTUS regarding birthright citizenship is a direct challenge to give a President the power to override explicit clauses within the Constitution. The SCOTUS has already ruled he can’t be prosecuted for criminal acts if conducted as part of his Presidential duties. If he is then permitted to ignore the Constitution his power is beyond the control of the judiciary or Congress. “I shall be a Dictator on day one” -

“Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has privately pledged to pursue peace with Israel, committing to the Abraham Accords in a landmark meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump.” and “As part of the private agreement, Sharaa reportedly assured Trump that Syria would not challenge Israel’s hold over the Golan Heights, which it captured from Syria in 1967. The Times understands that Syria has also agreed not to contest the buffer zone maintained by Israeli troops along the border, signaling a significant departure from long-standing Syrian policy.” I’m waiting to hear the source of this otherwise ‘privately pledged ‘ statement. As yet the source is unattributed and I don’t want to guess. Removing sanctions on ‘private pledges’ in the absence of formal declarations seems odd, very odd.
