The question you should be asking yourself is why you are so outraged. It’s really very simple: everyone is equal under the law, and if someone is suspected of committing a crime or crimes and there is enough evidence, they are prosecuted. Not persecuted, mind the difference.

And a Trump presidency isn’t?

Strike three! You’re out.

As per usual, Trump made a mountain out of a molehill and is seeing ghosts. Always whining that he’s the victim of persecution. It’s all about him, him, him. Cry, whine, b!tch and moan, that’s all he does. And lie, so many lies. But of course his disciples are not interested in facts and the truth, they live in their own fact free ‘reality’.

Which Bob is that? Do you have a username?

Lots. But I can’t share them here, or I would be banned for life from this forum.

I’m thinking of spending a winter on Ko Chang, from October/November until February/March, and some info would be very welcome. * How hard/easy is it to find a house or apartment for 4-6 months? I don’t need much, a fully furnished one-bed house or apartment, or even a studio, would do for me. How much would that cost per month? * How big (small?) is the expat community on the island? * Is there a good bakery on the island? * I love to hike and I’ve been told there’s plenty of opportunities for that. What’s the nature situation like? Any original jungle left on the island? * Also very important: how is the air quality? Any advice and/or tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe you should inform yourself a little better next time. Because it wasn’t Labour that ‘crashed it’ by 2009. The end of 2008 marked the beginning of a worldwide economic recession, caused by Bush and his neocon idiots, who had scrapped most if not all checks and balances on the financial sector. This lead to American banks and financial institutions taking insane risks, and by the end of 2008 it all came crashing down and governments all over the world had to spend hundreds (thousands?) of billions of dollars to save the banking/financial sector. Which is kind of ironic, isn’t it? These hardcore capitalist institutions having to be saved with public money. Again, the UK economy did pretty well under 10 years of Blair, and then financial/economic disaster struck, which had very little to do with Labour or its policies. Maybe you can show me a 10-year period of economic prosperity under Tory rule?

Waiting for instructions from HQ….

Just another porky. The economy did actually quite well in the 10 years under Tony Blair. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/07/business_blair_and_the_uk_economy/html/1.stm

That’s twice in this thread that you’re playing this down as just a couple of old geezers who are completely harmless. They didn’t even kill anyone, right? Somehow I suspect you’d be singing quite a different tune had this not been done by this group of ‘Reichsbürger’, but by some extreme left wing group.

And you don’t see the difference in intentions between Mel Brooks paraphrasing Hitler, and Donald Trump doing it?

Here’s another fine example of Trump worship and cult building, and why people are sick and tired of this insanity: https://meidasnews.com/news/trumps-new-cult-like-video-claims-he-gives-our-lives-meaning

I have seen enough of it to not see it as a nothing burger. Trump is getting the masses ready for his dictatorship, by any means necessary, plain and simple. The Bad Orange Man himself uses the media to stay in the lime light 24/7, and the media just report what he says and does. He’s going to be the GOP presidential candidate, so what he says and does is far from irrelevant. If you want to complain about irrelevant crap and nothing burgers: how about the GOP screechers in the House who have been trying to impeach Biden? How long has that been going on now? And how’s that going?

Of course not. Trump has never quoted Hitler or nazi lingo.

You can see it here:

The video has been deleted from Trump’s account. The lame excuse was that a Trump staffer didn’t see the word ‘reich’. Yeah, right.

Just two days ago, Trump promoted an American ‘unified Reich’ if re-elected. No wonder peoples getting sick and tired of him, and his nazi references. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/20/trump-social-media-video-unified-reich-00159067

I don’t know about Hamas promoter, but certainly clueless, like all MAGA folk.

The German government doesn’t have anything to do with pressing charges against these fascists, it’s the German judiciary. Separation of powers, remember? I agree with you that they must be barking mad, but these morons actually and really tried to stage a coup. That is not made up and not a dream, but grim reality. That it apparently doesn’t fit your narrative is another matter altogether. Many western intelligence agencies have come to the same conclusion: that the greatest threat to our democracy right now are extreme right wing groups. Or do you not agree with that either?

Being religious makes a person thoughtful and moral? I can agree with you to some extent, but religion in the US is often very hardcore and rightwing. Those dozens of millions of evangelicals, for example, scare the crap out of me. Almost all of them support Trump, who is not exactly a poster boy for morality, to put it very mildly. I wouldn’t call him thoughtful either.

I wouldn’t call Tim Scott reasonably sane. He’s a deeply religious person and that alone disqualifies him for me. All those religious GOP members who take the Bible completely literally (like Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House) fill me with dread. Scott, for instance, is 100% pro life and would vote for the most conservative and strict anti abortion law possible. He’s also in favor of cutting taxes, because ‘it empowers families to make decisions for themselves’. That’s a nice way of saying: ‘if you can’t hack it, you can just suck it and die’.

I’m betting he will if Trump is also tested. Why test just one candidate?

It always cracks me up how certain posters here keep ragging on Biden for being senile, demented or on drugs, while their guy Trump is in fact the perfect example of someone suffering from rapid cognitive decline. I will be the first to admit that Biden’s mental state is slipping somewhat at times, but I’m quite sure who will be holding the short end of the stick in the unlikely event of Biden and Trump both doing a cognitive test or some kind of psychiatric evaluation before their first debate. Hint: it’s not going to be the guy who’s currently in the White House.

And who killed the bi-partisan border bill to benefit him in the election?
