The extremists in the GOP are getting their directions from Trump. He’s just posted this on his failing ‘Truth Social’ - his panicked caps included: “IF REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING THE DISASTER WE HAVE IN THE SENATE, MITCH MCCONNELL, TOGETHER WITH KEVIN M, & THE RNC (FINALLY!), DON’T TAKE ACTION NOW, WE HAVE TO THROW EVERYBODY OUT.”

When have I ever said that the guilt or innocence of Trump should not be decided by a jury?

Opinions differ. The vitriolic response she receives from the alt-right suggests she’s doing something right.

Odd then that white makes make up the vast majority of senior political positions?

Put him to trial, if he’s found guilty lock him up, if he’s found innocent let him get back to work. However, with now two allegations against him, replace him for a new candidate at the next election.

A very curious argument to try to put in someone else’s mouth. I wonder what triggered it?

There’s no such thing as ‘the best qualified’, there’s a range of candidates who are all qualified and all bring something different to the job. The only time we here the rightwing bleating about ‘the best qualified’ is when the candidate isn’t a white male.

Another extreme rightwing populist German, just what the world needs.

The whole of MAGA

If I made statement I could not substantiate I would withdraw it. What I would not do is resort to directing thinly veiled expletives at the individual who pointed out my error.

Thanks Nauseus, I got a good smile out of that. I often think the auto-speller has a sense of humour.

I take it that your resort to thinly disguised expletives is you accepting that there is nothing in the article remotely resembling your claimed “Only the losses of 10% are mentioned, made to look substantial by using monetary figures, not the value of the remaining 90%.” You made it up.

I’ve read it. There is no statement in the article that in anyway resembles your claim: “Only the losses of 10% are mentioned, made to look substantial by using monetary figures, not the value of the remaining 90%.” Did you make that up?

Can you point to the bit in the article that states, as you claim: “Only the losses of 10% are mentioned, made to look substantial by using monetary figures, not the value of the remaining 90%.”

Let me know when you have something to add to the discussion.

You are mistaking identifying the holes in your own argument as ‘sliding right’.

So your parents reduced their selling price by 10% therefore you assume the family in the article also reduced their selling price by 10%. And tell me this, why should a guy loosing £100,000 from his pension pot be of less concern if his ‘pot’ is to your mind huge? The current Pension Life Time Allowance is £1,073,100, that’s not a huge amount of money to loose £100,000 from, especially when the loss was as a direct result of Government Idiocy.

The country was indeed thriving. Them Trump came along and wrecked it.

We still don’t know who was funneling money to Trump via Deutsche Bank.

More conspiracy nonsense.

I’m not going out on a limb here, because I’ve said it before. I believe I have a net worth higher than that of Donald Trump, as, I believe, does anyone who’s assets are greater than their liabilities. Here’s a clue. Billionaires don’t need to go begging for donations to fund their legal costs. NYAG is seeking a $250million settlement against Trump. I believe he’s upside down and won’t be able to make that payment without triggering a run on his properties and the loans that own them.

Duh Santis strikes again.

Kevin, behave yourself. Putin’s enablers in the GOP are jerking you around. Grow a set already.

What you are hearing is the impotent chest beating of the same people who were dazzled by, and I’m not joking, the ludicrous idea that Trump was anything other than a grubby, lying trust fund brat. ’There will be consequences’. The kind of kitsch garbage that was printed on Trump’s NFT scam cards. There will indeed be consequences, climb down from delusion and realization that one has been scammed isn’t going to be easy.

I was last week reading Josephus’ account of the death of Herod. It gives hope of something to look forward to.
