  1. They don’t need to ‘risk their children’. The Constitution defines their Children born in the United States as Americans.
  2. If they are born in America they Americans and have the right to grow up in America. Refer, The Constitution of the United States. Or perhaps you want to toss that out too?!
  3. He obviously missed seeing the gallows erected in front of the capital by the people he hopes will vote for him.
  4. So I wonder, what would be the impact of kids growing up in America with no citizenship and no path to citizenship? A new underclass, people with no access to rights or protections under law. Perhaps that’s what’s behind this unconstitutional (dangerous) nonsense. Give those who hate, someone else to hate, and remove all the rights of the the hated.
  5. Oddly, the leaders of MAGA, don’t want to go back to the days of progressive taxation, more equal distribution of wealth and workers receiving good pay and workplace pensions, rather than directors and shareholders taking the lion’s share. The days and means by which the wealth of the working and middle-class were built. They distract MAGA supporters with hatred and grievance politics while stuffing the pockets of the hyper wealthy with tax breaks paid for at the cost of the national debt. And the best bit, the very people conned by MAGA make donations to Trump (the billionaire). It’s a remarkable trick.
  6. “"Not a single one of the murders we allege… involved decisions that were made in the heat of battle… the 'fog of war,'" said Nicholas Owens, a barrister for the newspapers.” I think the term is ‘cold blooded murder’.
  7. Focus on hoping for actual evidence of actual crimes. And no more of the ‘My dog ate my whistleblower’ nonsense.
  8. Now all we need to know is who he revealed these national secrets to and why. This is going to be ugly.
  9. We all know Trump supporters will not accept any allegations, indictments, evidence, sworn testimony, jury verdicts or court sentencing against Trump. They simply will not accept Trump being held accountable for anything, no matter how heinous his crimes. That’s how cults are.
  10. Here’s the bit that needs dealing with: ’Plane owned by church’.
  11. Given the topic of discussion is Farage stating ‘Brexit has failed’, perhaps the failed promises of Brexit are the stuff you want to avoid discussing.
  12. Given you invented the quotation, I’ll leave it to you to produce the link. Who said anything about the UK ‘gradually rejoining’ the EU?
  13. I’m not sure on what basis you claim to know what the EU will not allow. Starmer isn’t lying, he’s making a statement in the context of Labour’s campaign to win the next election. Parties are elected for a term based in their manifesto promises, Starmer is laying the ground for the Labour manifesto and campaign for tge up coming General election. For election after that Labour, and Starmer, will have a whole new different set of promises and policies. I look forward to pointing out Labour’s pro EU policies as they arise.
  14. What’s happening now is the Government putting an end to hopes of the Brexiteer dreams of further deviation from alignment with the EU. What’s coming is a realignment with the EU. The inflection point was the Windsor Framework. Starmer is entirely correct, Labour have identified the key concerns amongst voters, and will address those by, among other means undoing Brexit damage. He’s stating no plans to rejoin the EU, because he knows that’s not the challenge for the immediate future. The UK will reverse Brexit in steps. I look forward to pointing them out to you as they occur.
  15. Brexit has failed, even Farage says so. From the article Mac Mickmanus linked: “He [Starmer]!highlighted recent warnings from the car industry that their future is under threat, claiming Britain could become a world leader in electric car manufacturing.” Do you suppose Starmer is listening to the UK’s car industry and their complaints regarding the damage Brexit is doing to their industry? And: “The Labour leader also said scientists and researchers face “an uncertain future” not knowing whether they will be able to access the Horizon EU funding programme. “ Here’s a clue to what Starmer is getting at - There is no access to EU Horizon science funding without joining the EU Horizon Program’ And then there’s this: “And he said the “failure of the Tories’ Brexit deal” had driven up food prices, which he called “unforgivable” during the cost of living crisis.” So a new deal with the EU, do think that’s going to be moving further away from the EU or closer to tie EU?
  16. Starmer is focussed on winning the next election. The key issues of concern for voters are, the cost of living crisis, the NHS, the economy, public services, law and order. Brexit is not a key issue, therefore not something Starmer needs to address. However, Brexit is an issue that is still dividing the Tories. Starmer is doing the smart thing. Focus on the problems facing the electorate and let the Tories continue to eat each other. Watch out for pro-EU policies from Labour (all in the cause of addressing “the cost of living crisis, the NHS, the economy, public services, law and order”).
  17. I think they are pushing for future regulation to distract from what they are doing right now. AI is here, and it’s being used now. AI is choosing what adverts you see, it’s choosing the feed you see on your social media. Corporations are gathering data on anyone using social media, shopping on line, viewing videos, reading online content and plugging it into AI. They are not doing it for your benefit.
  18. Sorry Jeff, I don’t view videos. Comments and links to credible sources supporting comments made, yes. Videos, no.
  19. What precisely is wrong with not allowing corporations to do whatever they wish regardless of the impacts on society?
