  1. Legislate to negate the perversely named ‘Citizens United Ruling’. Make it only living citizens who can donate to political parties and outlaw all other donations But as you say, the beneficiaries are unlikely to do that.Or at least most of them. We seldom get to hear about the representatives who do support ending citizens united.
  2. Remove paragraph 2) and we are in near full agreement. I’d replace paragraph 2) with issues around the pharmaceutical industry and insurance industry influence over Government health policies. The overpricing of insulin, now dealt with by Biden, being a prime example. How we get to discuss the provision of such a basic human need like health care in terms of Marxism and Communism without addressing corporate greed and corruption is a mystery.
  3. Request a thread from the forum administrator, but keep in mind you’ll need a link to a reliable news source for the subject.
  4. Burying a weapon in the head of a Russian invader is not the definition of losing it.
  5. Oh, this city was the only civilization in S America and after its demise no other civilization or culture existed. Who knew?
  6. ‘Indoctrinated into guilt’ Or seething grievance?
  7. Because writing, mathematics, agriculture are all inventions of people who were not white.
  8. The lender has a duty of due diligence to their share holders, but that’s just good business/investment practice. The borrower has a legal duty to make accurate accounting statements and that’s a matter of criminal law.
  9. It’s yet to be reliably confirmed how much money/assets Trump actually has. He’s sold a few of his most profitable properties in the last couple of years and is believed to upside down on many more. It is my firm belief that anyone who has a positive net balance on their assets and liabilities is wealthier than Trump. Which is why I believe a settlement of $360million in favor of NY might spell very real financial problems for Trump. His supporters might think otherwise, but fail to ask the obvious question - ‘Why is a Billionaire constantly begging for their money?’ It’s a question deserving of an answer.
  10. Living without all that Christianity crap foist on them can’t be too bad a thing either. One of the contemporaneous justifications for colonialism and one that continues to this day is the argument that westerners were bringing civilization to primitive societies. The existence of already established cities exposes the lie to that justification.
  11. Well if it swings both ways ‘white people wouldn’t be doing much writing, mathematics or growing any food, to name just a few foundations of the world we all live in.
  12. Can please you provide a link to the claims that habitation in this newly discovered city was brought about by diseases from Europe?
  13. A few things come to my mind. The script of the TV show was written in 2019, therefore everything the drama brought to the public attention was already in the public domain by that date. Government are only responding now because of the public outcry. The second issue is while the Government has very rightly acted swiftly to exonerate the victims there is of yet no indication that criminal proceedings will be brought against the individuals and corporation that lied, committed perjury and did so in the unquestionable knowledge that their lies were sending innocent people to prison, indeed costing some their lives. Exonerating and compensating the victims is not enough, the perpetrators of this injustice need to do prison time. There is another issue, to their credit, Government ministers and individual MPs did attempt to find the truth of what was going on, they too were lied too, evidence they requested was withheld or its existence denied. These crimes are not simply a perverting the course of justice, they are also perverted the course of Governance. Those responsible need to be identified and brought to justice, moreover Businesses need to also be accountable under the law. The gloves need to come off. RIP the innocent victims and condolences to their families.
  14. Nah, I just like to see crooks getting what crooks deserve. See you at his next trial.
  15. Because they didn’t commit financial crimes within the jurisdiction of NY State. Or anywhere else for that matter.
  16. A two edged sword. Bad news for first time buyers, great news for home owners.
  17. Biden has not undermined any British sovereign decisions. The UK made a mistake and the consequences are coming home to roost, it’s not Biden’s fault, it’s nobody’s fault beyond those who lied to you and those who swallowed the lies. Personal responsibility and all that.
  18. Alternatively, you were lied to and you swallowed the lies. Those ‘warm sunlit uplands’ are a just over the horizon, keep the faith Jonny, keep the faith.
  19. Well Trump had a go at getting the last word, rambled on with a load of irrelevant nonsense until the Judge got fed up of Trump’s histrionic ranting and shutting him down. Trump’s last words are reported to be ‘What is going on here?’. What is going on Donny is you are being held accountable for your actions. See you in court again next time.
  20. The question is, how far up the house of cards is the penalty handed down by the Court going to be? Will it topple the whole edifice? Regardless, I’m sure the many contractors and suppliers bilked by Trump over the years are enjoying this.
  21. What has President Biden done to undermine British Sovereignty? Give it your best shot Jonny.
  22. The science is disputed by the same people that dispute every other science that tells them stuff they don’t want to hear.
  23. The great of change and having to do things differently has many quaking in their boots.
  24. Theater delivering justice, now that is an achievement to be proud of: https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/jan/09/post-office-scandal-tv-drama-horizon
