SpaceX has established market dominance over the Ukrainian battlefield internet services, with backing of US tax dollars. SpaceX and Musk himself have also benefitted from significant positive PR coverage from the provision of satellite based internet services to Ukraine. Having established this dominance and dependence Musk is now engaging in extortion, restricting access for Ukrainian military at precisely the moment Russia launched a new offensive. Putin must be thrilled.

Another option is Russia retreating to behind its own borders.

I’ll agree it’s a Tory set up. They are failing to govern and deliver for the vast majority of the nation, have no policies to effectively address any of the key issues of concern to voters and are therefore dragging out hanging to bait the press with. Its a deflection.

“For his [Musk’s] proposal for peace talks in ukraine he was condemned by zelensky and put on mirotvorec hit list.” Which dodges the facts of what Musk’s proposal was. https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2022/10/05/elon-musk-offered-a-solution-to-ending-the-ukraine-war-on-twitter--is-social-media-the-place-to-shape-a-countrys-future/amp/

A pattern emerges.

The NYP ‘story’.

There’s always an excuse for doing nothing. The UK and the British public in particular have every right to be proud of their long history of generosity through charitable donations to help those in need in other parts of the world. I’m quite certain the British public will step up again and give help to victims of this earthquake, people in desperate need being helped by people renowned for their generosity.

No it isn’t ‘whataboutism’ it is directly related to the issue. The NYP held back the Hunter Biden Laptop ‘story’ for 10 months, releasing as a pre-election ‘shocker’. Twitter held it back for 24 hours. Cue rightwing outrage. The ‘shameless Election Interference’ was from Murdoch’s NYP. The rightwing outrage arises because Twitter interrupted the NYP attempt at election interference for 24 hours.

Agreed. A more relevant example would be the New York Post first receiving the Hunter Biden Laptop ‘story’ in December 2019 and reporting it in October 2020 as an election spoiler and the part Giuliani played in providing stolen data to the NYP. NYP journalist refused to have their name attached to the reporting and one NYP journalist had her name attached without her prior knowledge or agreement. Sorry if this has added to your righteous outrage, but I’m sure you’ll appreciate the broader picture.

Make it simple. Ban all rifles that aren’t manual bolt action. Removing any spacious arguments around what is an ‘assault rifle’ while at the same time giving gun nuts a more wholesome form of ‘wrist exercise’ than their usual.

‘Statistically it saved no lives. Mass killings are insignificant when weighed against the larger picture of crime and murder in general. ‘ Perhaps you missed the bit about ‘mass killings’ ( there is a clue in the name) being reduced. As I said earlier, there’s always an excuse for doing nothing.

It’s an excuse. Clinton’s ban on assault weapons reduced mass killings during the period it was in place. It wasn’t a perfect solution but it saved lives. Banning assault rifles, and those seen carrying them are immediately identifiable as breaking the law and a threat.

The first bit of intelligence the Chinese (and anyone else bothered to observe) have gathered is the fact that floating a ballon across America can propagate division and political arguments. ‘Divide and rule’.

I personally think it’s time for businesses to step up and ban guns being carried on their premises.

There’s always an excuse for doing nothing.

I’d much prefer we return to the practice of law without interference from the political executive.

Says he who has already told us he deliberately missed the speech.

I’m looking forward to Season 2.

The first Bible wasn’t written in English, and in any case what became the first written texts were previously oral stories and poems. The New International Version is way down the line of translations and versions. The transmission, recording, translation, editing and re-editing of the Bible has almost certainly undertaken by men. So I wouldn’t put too much faith on your ‘his own image’ revelation.

Why wouldn’t they be, ‘the woke world’ is itself a righting fabrication.

More rightwing hot air out of the forth balloon. Meanwhile, it’s the economy stu…..

Well he certainly wasn’t white with blue eyes and blond hair.

It’s been two years and a failed insurrection. Get over it already.

Reading Trump’s accusations as confessions is usually the shortest path to the truth.

But it was all fine and dandy when the targets of his venomous mouth were the wives or children of his political opponents, people giving testimony against him or mocking disability?! This isn’t just Trump, it’s what Trump voters wanted from him and still want from him.
