I gave that a thumbs up. I only have to add that while this war will end ( hopefully the GOP will not cave on wasting even more billions on this farce and they will just run out of bullets and be forced to negotiate ), there will be another, and after that another. There is too much money to be made in death and destruction for the 1% to give it up.

Fair enough. I did volunteer to go, but in retrospct I'm glad I didn't. I learned many years after that it was not a "good war" to participate in. Since then I don't believe in any wars at all, and IMO they are all "bad". The world has had too many grieving widows and fatherless children, and it's almost always for BS reasons, WW1 IMO being the biggest example of a war over BS. The only recent wars that were "good" IMO were WW2 and the Korean war. The rest are IMO about money, or oil.

While I have some sympathy for such a bill, I can't imagine it will survive any longer than it takes to be heard in the SCOTUS. It's come to this, that it's going to be up to individual land owners to do what the government of the US should be doing. The US is indeed broken, IMO.

Nah. IMO it's anything that's liberal stupidity. There is nothing wrong with being liberal, but sometimes they just go too far. I wouldn't care, but when they expect everyone else to go along with their stupid druthers it's a problem for people that don't accept 24 genders or such like nonsense.

Indictments mean zero when they are IMO politically inspired theatre, and have not been proven in a court of law, and none of the convictions are of criminal acts ( or he's be in jail ) but you know that already.

They'd be barking to give Biden a chance to look good, however slim. They want to get rid of him, not support him. Biden took 3 years to create the disaster on the border, so a few more months isn't going to make much difference. It also allows Texas to bus thousands more illegals to states/ cities that support illegal immigration, like New York or Chicago. I heard on Al Jazeera that Texas is planning to send thousands in the spring, just in time for the Democrat Convention. LOL.

Nonsense. He could own every branch of government but any change to the constitution has to be voted on by the states as well. I wish all you guys that wobble on about Trump changing or getting rid of the constitution checked before writing rubbish. https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-constitution/ An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.

Enjoy your basement. That's a good one.

That's not correct. I can only speak for myself but I accept that Trump is everything said about him, except the BS about him being a "threat to democracy" which is a hater made up nonsense, and I still want him to win and give the Dems a good kicking, as they deserve it, and Trump is the only one, IMO, that is able to do it. This time next year, I hope to be cheering him on as he deals to the Dems from the big chair.

What "mob rule"? Are there mobs of people with pitchforks marching on Parliament, with a gibbet to hang Sunak from? IMO it's the little <deleted> Sunak trying to divert attention from the disaster he has inflicted on Britain.

That's a nonsense. You could have asked for a link to mob rule but there will be nothing to something in the negative. I don't trust Sunak far as I could kick him. Just saw the little <deleted> on Al Jazeera complaining that Galloway was elected in a democratic election. Still whining on about October 7. Nothing to say about why Galloway was elected, which IMO has a lot to do with Sunak's sucking up to netanyahu. Sooner that little <deleted> follows Truss into political oblivion the better.

I hope that's sarcasm.

What's all this "Chancellor" stuff? Since when was the PM called a Chancellor?

If Sunak hadn't run off to suck up to netanyahu, and had called for a ceasefire in the UN instead of a gutless abstention, and if he wasn't sending munitions to kill defenseless civilians in Gaza, likely there wouldn't be any "increased" antisemitism.

He was saying they expected to be nuked at the outset, not that the Russians would fight a conventional war.

Oh that's classic. Trump can point to his wall that could have prevented the horde invading, while Biden's record is of allowing, nay encouraging them to enter in the gaps of the wall that Biden himself stopped the building of. I'd have thought Biden's minders would have thought better than to bring him to the scene of what is likely to be his worst decisions of the past 3 years. If the best he can do is burble about a "bipartisan bill" he really is in trouble, IMO.

Let us understand why people may wish to attack MPs, and even more, let us fear the emergence of a government class that becomes dictator while shielded by it's very own militarised protection force. The answer to public outrage over MP behaviour isn't to hide behind a security force, but to start doing a better job.

The OP is only what I've been saying for ages. The alarmism over an aging population and a shortage of workers necessitating increased immigration is pointless when our mechanical friends will be taking over just about every human working activity. All those immigrants will be unemployed and unemployable. I think it's a mistake to make them humanoid though, unless for an industry where it's appropriate, as in the sex industry.

From the Guardian. Just how stupid do the israelis think we are to believe a barking excuse like that? In any event, one needs to look at WHY hundreds/ thousands were trying to get food off the trucks, and that is because, as is common knowledge, israel isn't allowing enough food into Gaza. Whatever the reason they died, no matter if it was 112 or 12 people died, it was IMO caused by israeli crimes against humanity by using starvation as a weapon. Israel will be judged by history, and the millions of Palestinians living outside Palestine will never forget. Israel will IMO have perpetual war as long as it exists. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/feb/29/middle-east-crisis-live-updates-israel-hamas-war-latest-today-gaza-death-toll-hamas-health-ministry There were conflicting reports about events leading up to the deaths. Witnesses said Israeli troops fired on a large crowd of Palestinians racing to pull food off an aid convoy, and Gaza’s health ministry described it as a “massacre”. Israel challenged the death toll and said many of the victims were run over by the trucks.

I'll only add that IMO many scientists find the results that guarantee their salaries. Is it your contention that if we stopped using every form of CO2 creating machine on the planet tomorrow it would prevent the climate from changing? Apart from the fact that if we stopped using diesel engines any time soon the problem of climate would be irrelevant as most people would die of starvation, climate will continue to change regardless. All that CO2 is in the atmosphere and no one has convinced me it will vanish. It would help if people stopped burning the rainforest to make hamburgers and palm oil, but that activity shows no sign of stopping, and is apparently increasing.

Errrr, do you want to revisit the reason the dinosaurs died out? While the meteor impact may have triggered a cold period, it wasn't a "normal" ice age as part of the climate cycle.

I read a great deal of concern for the climate but other than expensive conferences that could be done by VDO conferencing, governments are doing sod all other than introducing as many taxes as they can. Someone is havin' a laff at us- probably the people making loadsacash off it.

What fear and loathing? IMO it's more that they dislike that the LGBTQ community keep thrusting their ideology into the faces of people that don't agree with it. I doubt many or any want them stoned to death like a certain other community do. There isn't any such problem where I live because the LGBTQ keep the propaganda out of sight. No gay parades or such like.

"There is no doubt", but unless you have a working crystal ball you have ZERO way of knowing that.

You guys are just hilarious. It's like you believe that a president can change the constitution just because- so funny.
