It's called accepting reality.

I don't know how that applies to Trump. Perhaps you can explain that to all of us?

Ah, the good old days ( seriously ) when cops would take brats around the corner to give them an attitude correction, rather than now when cops just provide a taxi service to take ram raiding teenagers home, without so much as a spanking to look forward to, as the government has banned spanking.

I doubt parents of unruly children will be paying large to send their brats to that school.

The honeymoon didn't last long. I guess Britons will have a long 4 + years to regret putting Starmer in charge.

Apparently Lammy has the same opinion of him as hundreds of thousands of israelis. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/12/israel-protest-gaza-hostages-netanyahu In a recent poll in Ma’ariv newspaper, more than half of respondents said Netanyahu, who could face a lengthy prison sentence if convicted in ongoing corruption trials, had prioritised his own political survival over the fate of the hostages.

I remember him well, including how he attempted to escape with a load of gold at the end. Will Zelensky follow his example? https://www.nytimes.com/1975/04/14/archives/thieu-said-to-try-to-send-out-gold.html Seems that the game is almost up for Ukraine, with failed diversions in Kursk, and Trump by no means looking as if he is a dead duck in the coming elections. If Zelensky gets his wish for long range missiles and permission to use them, it's likely, IMO, that his departing gift to Ukraine is massive destruction in return. He is IMO lacking in air defense missiles given his desperation to get more and the ease with which Russian missiles are getting through.

If she could act she could pretend to be a nice person, but she can't.

LOL. People are waking up to the reality that is Harris.

Probably because most people have such boring sex lives ( or none at all ) that it's titillating to discus other people's sex lives and that doesn't apply to the next door neighbour. Some magazines just discuss whom the celebs are dating and such like rubbish.

IMO Walz comes across as a whiner that can only complain about Trump, without putting forward any reason to vote for him and her. If they were more popular they'd be so far ahead in the polls that Trump could drop out and go play golf. It says a great deal that Trump is so close to them in the polls.

I'm boggled. I don't know where you got that idea and apparently never read any of my posts on the subject. Carry on.

and would they know exactly where to find them, or should they just beat up any passing Turk? Good way to create a diplomatic incident.

Why quote me if not going to discuss what I said. IMO individual sailors should have not been allowed to go into the community and that's down to the Captain. He should have only allowed them to go out in a group with Turkish escort.

He'll certainly want taxpayer provided security.

IMO the vile supporting the horrible.

With the bridges blown I doubt the Ukrainians can break out and are now confined to that area. They can be dealt with once the larger objective is secured.

Does this qualify as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic as it was sinking?

That doesn't mean Britain is socialist. I think the only real socialist thing left is the NHS and that is apparently under threat. I lived in London for 10 years and there isn't much "sharing the wealth" going on.

IMO it's US politics as usual, from both sides. There's nothing classy about any of them.

IMO there aren't any "socialist" small s, countries left, but lets say woke or liberal run, and I think it's close to the truth. I never wanted to to go back to my country as it was run by an IMO ultra woke idiot at the time. I much prefer Thailand as it's probably the only non woke country that I'd want to live in.

and social media in particular.

If you are going to ignore my question, which wasn't addressed to you, and go on a rant about something else entirely, please don't quote me.

Netanyahu of course. Did you think I support him?

I've yet to hear a good policy of her own to come out of her mouth. So far it's mainly campaign nothings and meaningless soundbites. Harris is the biggest asset Trump has in his bid to win 4 more. If she was as good as her supporters claim she'd be so far ahead in the polls it'd be a done deal, but she can barely break even. That's saying a lot seeing as she is in her honeymoon phase.
