Biden stoking the flames of racial tension again. Like the US doesn't have enough issues surrounding race.
Deeply irresponsible.

Whilst I have some sympathy for Daniel Penny and believe he was trying to protect himself and the public, he clearly went too far. He should have released him once he lost consciousness. If Neely regained consciousness and started threatening people again he could have choked him out again, or simply beaten the daylights out of him.
To keep the choke hold for 15 minutes even after he lost consciousness was the wrong thing to do. I think he will be convicted but the sentence will be as lenient as possible.
Given Neely's criminal history (including breaking the jaw and orbital bone of an elderly lady), I don't think he will be a great loss to society.

It's amusing how all the Brit hating Europeans and Americans were so happy to see us subjugated by the German Franco led EU. It was as if they were finally happy to see us put in our place. They couldn't take us over militarily so they tried to take us over via treaties, regulations, laws and open border policies, all hidden under the pretense of Democracy.
If Brexit was destined to be such a disaster you'd think they'd be begging us to leave the EU. That they are still so angry that we voted to leave and finally regained our sovereignty only reassures me further that we did the right thing.
We'll replace the EU laws when we are good and ready. We are in control of our own destiny again. We do what we want.

I am not questioning the methodology, I am challenging your suggestion that brexit occurred because the British, en mass, wanted brexit. If that was the case, the percentage of the electorate who actively voted for it would be higher than the mid 30s, which if I recall, was the reality.
The EU might not have gotten the support needed to prevent this ongoing disaster, but brexit in no way reflects the views of the majority of Brits.
Hiding behind the fact some people didn’t care enough to vote is pretty lame IMO.
You could discredit almost any democratic vote by claiming those who didn’t vote agreed with you.
Those who voted, voted to leave. Simple as…

Of course, the vast majority of British people didn't vote for brexit in 2016, and even more British people want a return to the EU now.
If you don't vote you give up your voice.
Those who cared enough to vote, voted to leave by a majority. That's democracy.
Your notion that people want to return is inane. No doubt based on polls of 1000 Islington lefties or bitter Scots.

That was always a very stupid idea.
But then, Brexit was stupid, so above shouldn't be a surprise.
Up to us.
The British do what we want. Why, you might ask? Well, 2 reasons…
1. We’re British.
2. We do what we want.

Good to see there are still some Junta fanboys out there. Sad, rare creatures but much like the rock spider still discoverable if you look hard enough.
Enjoy the weekend. Your boys in green are going to get destroyed at the polls by the Thai people.

It doesn’t matter if we remove them this year or next year. Or 2030.
The fact is, since the people spoke via the democratic vote in 2016, WE CAN. It’s up to us. The British answer to nobody and certainly not unelected EU technocrats.
Democracy. Self determination. Sovereignty. Marvelous.

Nonsense.
Market regulation is a primary function of EU governance, it’s how the ‘EU free trade area functions’ within EU wide common regulations.
I can think of numerous examples of the EU controlling what is ‘let loose on EU citizens’.
The exclusion of toxins from foods, untested and unsafe medicines, untested and unsafe electrical goods, untested and unsafe motor vehicles… the list goes on.
No EU citizen directly voted for Von Der Leyen.
Most EU citizens didnt vote to be in the EU. They cannot vote to leave. The only time that opportunity was given they voted to get out. Hence it will never be offered again.
Now EU technocrats are deciding what EU citizens can and cannot see.
The mask of the undemocratic federalist project is slipping. The recent corruption scandal is the tip of the iceberg.

Maybe the EU doesn’t want to let AI controlled by corporation loose on EU citizens or give corporations free reign to do whatever they please no matter the consequences.
It's up to the citizens what they choose to see or not see.
Nobody voted for the EU to control what is "let loose" on them. Yet more over-reach by what was supposed to be a common market. I'm not surprised you support big state interference in citizens lives though. It's a cornerstone of socialism after all.

No surprise here.
The EU's raison d'etre is to regulate. Over-regulate. Restrict. Ban. Stifle. Monopolize.
They were always going to be the first to regulate this. It's what they do.

Well, that is now north of $100 BILLION poured away on this misbegotten conflict. Imagine what could have been done in the US with that money- the roads that could be repaired, the children fed, the facilities to help the indigent... but no. Far more important to posture and pose in a useless conflict to support a country that is not at all important.
But think of all the opportunities for smug, self congratulatory back slapping at those Champagne dinner parties.
You can't put a price on that...

There's only one Mauricio Garcia shooter. Good read below with all the evidence:
Tracing the Odnoklassniki Profile of the Texas Mall Shooter
Outside of contextual clues – such as a farewell post right before the 6 May shooting – the account also contains numerous photographs of identification documents.
On 5 April 2023, an image of a speeding ticket with Garcia’s name and date of birth visible was posted to the OK account.
Thanks. Good to get clarification on his identity after all the misleading reports. For a while there it seemed like there were two of them. Thankfully, it wasn't the 'same person with 2 identities'.
By the look of him, he clearly crossed over on the dark side. Very sad.

Tax rises don't tend to win votes. Hence the raising of the debt ceiling in order to give money away to Ukraine.
Then when they need to buy long term votes, Biden can just use some of that borrowed money to write off student debt. Nice work, if you can get it.

Indeed. The spin required to turn a Mexican gunman into a white supremacist hillbilly should be fascinating to watch.

That said, I do recall the vitriol poured upon Nancy Pelosi by right wingers when she went to Taiwan.
The same left wingers criticizing Truss for speaking out against China were fully supportive of Pelosi in that instance. Weird huh?
It's almost like they have double standards or something...

That’s why the criminal Justice system uses investigative processes and why courts see evidence and sworn testimony.
As you yourself demonstrate, it’s too easy to confuse people with news and social media reports.Evidence and sworn testimony is the way to go.
Absolutely.
Which is why I am somewhat skeptical of reports that this Mexican chap was a far right, neo nazi, white supremacist with 2 faces and interchangeable tattoos.
Let's wait for the evidence.

Unless it's Meghan Markle.
Anyway, back on topic. I fail to see why standing up to the Chinese regime draws such vitriol. Is it a communist solidarity thing? Or just fear of the regime? Cowardice? Dislike of strong women? I'm not sure, but whatever the reason I think Truss is on the right side of the argument here.

It's certainly confusing. So far, it seems he was a white supremacist (of Mexican descent!!) who appears as 2 completely different men with different tattoos in media photos.
There certainly seems to be some issues with accuracy of reporting.

An interesting strategy given that the US is about to hit it's debt ceiling.
Borrow more money (hopefully), then give it away. With fiscal prudence like that, it becomes clear why the US is over 31 trillion in debt.

Biden blasted for calling ‘white supremacy’ ‘most dangerous terrorist threat’

The US has very serious racial tensions, so playing to the gallery (a historically black University) by calling out the racists on only one side of the racial divide is irresponsible and stokes the flames of tension in exchange for no other reason than to score brownie points and a round of applause. Pathetic stuff.
Not only irresponsible and cowardly, but ridiculous to suggest that a few hillbillies with confederate flags are a bigger threat to the West than the likes of Al Qaeda.
Almost as stupid as his comment "If you vote Trump, you ain't black". Like black people need lessons on blackness from the white liberal elites like Biden. Unbelievable stuff.
