That’s what happens when a Government fails to manage the problem. If they cleared asylum seekers they could pass bone fide applicants into society where they can work, keep themselves and pay taxes while deporting the bogus claimants. Nobody objects to bogus applicants being deported. Maybe someone in Government thinks it’s a mess that keeps you distracted .

Larry can’t seem to stay out of the news these days, all for the wrong reasons. I liked him in Lewis and at the time thought his portrayal of a British Nazi in Foyle’s War remarkable, perhaps he had a back for it. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/04/laurence-fox-arrested-over-comments-urging-people-to-vandalise-ulez-cameras

The twisted logic of a MAGA zealot. ‘You made me do it’ It’s always somebody else’s fault!

False. Trump’s lawyers elected for a Bench Trial, they had the option of a Jury and turned it down.

Irony lives.

I don’t need ‘the word sourced’ I need you to go back and check the talk track you are being fed and regurgitating to ensure you know what it is you are required to be ranting about.

Someone needs to ask Vivek (pump and dump) Ramaswamy a simple question, preferably when he’s running his mouth in a primary debate. ‘If you believe transgenderism to be a mental health disorder’ and children in particular to be ‘at risk’, do you support increasing Federal spending on mental health services and to a level that every single child suffering transgender issues receives the professional mental health care they need? It’s a question those who support Vivek’s non medical professional view might wish to engage.

‘Industry’?

There’s definitely something wrong with closing down legal routes for immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, then demonizing them for taking the ‘illegal’ routes.

I just spat my coffee. I’m quite certain I hold the record for receipt of personal attacks and baiting. I tend not to engage them.

There isn’t jury, it’s a Bench trial. Trump (all the best people) employed an idiot lawyer who neglected to tick the ‘trial by jury’ box. The trial is in any case a civil litigation, nobody is going to jail - although Trump could be sent to jail for contempt of court ‘Doxing court officials’ being his first strike. Getting sent to jail for contempt of court is a matter of the judges discretion, again nothing to do with a jury. I agree with Tug, ‘Doxing a court official’ should have earned Trump time in the slammer.

Hyperbole has a grip on you. Trump is facing Justice, it’s not a lynching. Though stripping Trump of hundreds of millions of dollars he shouldn’t have in the first place is going seem like a course haired rope around his neck.

Do you know who was funding the Trump? They are not by any means all in Washington and some where not even Americans.

The judge doesn’t decide details of values, he refers to valuations prepared by people who do that for a living, and he refers to the differing valuations the defendant submitted in loan applications and tax filings. In layman’s terms these are referred to as ‘the receipts’ and the prosecution have them.

And yet here we are, and here is Trump sat in court cowed by the authority of the judge.

I think you’ll find I asked a question: “Or was he slurring out one of his dog whistles to those who have in mind a demographic they would like to have free license to shoot?”

The problem with dog whistles is, it’s only the dogs who hear them.

Runner beans are running, tomatoes are coming on well and the basil has started to sprout.

Why are you asking me, you clearly thought you knew who Trump was referring to:

If a supposed Presidential Candidate is talking about shooting people do you think he should be precise in his language? Or was he slurring out one of his dog whistles to those who have in mind a demographic they would like to have free license to shoot?

A small detail. $250,000,000 is the starting price.

“It is going to be difficult for my Republican friends to keep calling President Biden ‘feeble’ while he continues to take Speaker McCarthy’s lunch money in every negotiation,” Gaetz, and other MAGA cultists seem unable to follow the obvious logical conclusion to that statement. He should at least realize he needs Democrat help to replace McCarthy. If Gaetz is stupid enough place himself in that position his next whinge fest will be about how Biden took Gaetz’s lunch money too.

Just as you thought it couldn’t get more farcical: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/02/rishi-sunak-commons-majority-in-peril-as-60-tories-join-liz-truss-group

With a return to Russia behind it’s 2014 borders being as good a starting pint as any.
