  1. Unlike you I don't treat Trump as Jesus Christ. Here's another con against the American people from Trump and he isn't even in power. Just today he back tracked on his ridiculous claim he will lower prices for just about everything which he repeatedly claimed at his rallies. No doubt you will come up with some duck and swerve on behalf of your master - lol https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-walks-back-prices-down_n_675af8f3e4b04606476ba6cd
  2. OK, not based upon facts. Next time make it clear your claim is just an opinion
  3. I'm assuming Wray resigned to protect himself financially. It's a pity he did not stay on in order to give trump brief with firing him. His proposed replacement by trump seems to be a complete prat, like many of trump's nominees. Plus trump filling a number of posts with unqualified family members - nepotism.
  4. Care to support your claim with credible link/s. In the meantime: By the end of his second term, the number of persons with jobs, real median household income, stock market, and real household net worth were all at record levels, while the unemployment rate was well below historical average. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_Barack_Obama_administration#:~:text=The economy of the United,end of World War II.
  5. 2023 tax revenue was $4.4 trillion, interest cost on current national debt approx $850 billion p.a. Under trump highly likely national debt will increase along with interest on that debt
  6. All this from someone who keep's rabbiting on about lefties----Lol
  7. Whatever you may think of the "rebels" in Idlib Province it was perfect timing by them to take on the Syrian dictatorship due to the Israeli destruction of Hezbollah, together with the constant Israeli bombing of Iranian military assets in Syria. Then of course the wearing down of Russian assets with the Ukrainian war. Another way to put it could well be "unintended consequences" or if one has a conspiracy leaning; Israeli strategic planning.
  8. I was responding to a member's claim Iranian's were / are seeking asylum during the Syrian conflict. Maybe they were pretending to be Syrian, equally so they could be Iranians who were / are seeking refuge from the Iranian dictatorship or the war in Syria targeted by the Islamists. I can assure you I do not need to "wise up" to asylum seekers / refugees, though I can say you need to wise up to trump's BS.
  9. With Bush it was the Kurds and Shiites who suffered, with approx 50,000 deaths. Plus US military error to permit Iraqi military helicopters in Southern Iraq.
  10. Why would Iranians be seeking asylum from the Assad regime? The decision by HMG relates to those claiming Syrian nationality. Taken over by declared terrorist group by US / UK, therefore I believe a rather strange decision at this stage. If their asylum application are halted also means they cannot find work etc so need to be supported by the tax payer for a longer period
  11. Never been a socialist. As already said, go play your games elsewhere
  12. Rather odd decision given the current power in Syria resides with a designated terrorist group. Additionally it will take years to rebuild destroyed infrastructure, housing and so on. With the Syrian economy in a black hole who's going to provide the funding to rebuild once the new power brokers are deemed to be cleared for finance?
  13. Long past due Canon Law be banned worldwide and all religious orders not permitted to care for children.
  14. I really cannot be bothered any further. Play your games with someone else
  15. Looked it up. the word you reference has has differing interpretation according to political association. The Nazi interpretation, so far as I am concerned has nothing to do with Socialism. As you would know far left political entities were identified as core enemies of the Nazis The German term Volksgemeinschaft translates to "people's community" or "national community". It was a concept that was used by many political parties in Germany, each with their own interpretation and goals. The Nazis used the term to create a racially and ethnically based community, and excluded groups they considered "undesirable" It's long been an effort by the right of centre to identify Socialism with Nazism, including on this platform. I assume in an effort to uncouple "far right" from Nazism, without the requisite comprehension the definition of "far right" has changed over time.
  16. As you dislike Wiki please advise your source for definitions. Moving along....Socialism is often equated to Marxism is the US. The distinction between Socialism and Marxism is below, so I'll still go with comparing to Marxism Socialism is a broad system of ideas that advocates for the shared ownership of the means of production, while Marxism is a political and economic theory that explains the development of societies and predicts future social change
  17. Not true. Nazism and Socialism were very different ideologies, plus of course the Nazi obsession with land grab and elimination of Jews and other minorities, including the mentally disabled. Nazism rejected the Marxist concepts of class conflict and universal equality, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism, and sought to convince all parts of the new German society to subordinate their personal interests to the "common good", accepting political interests as the main priority of economic organisation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#:~:text=Nazism rejected the Marxist concepts,main priority of economic organisation%2C
  18. Exactly - mirroring low life rump I wouldn't be surprised you coordinate with other MAGA types on who to target. - who in the Liberal leadership has approved of assassinations? Yet more BS?
  19. Very much up in the air at the moment. The new guy is claiming he supports an open society (don't persecute the Alawites etc) and even reports of a Christian to manage Aleppo. https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2024/12/islamist-rebels-seek-assure-christians-syrias-aleppo Naturally if he has insufficient support from the various factions it could well descend into chaos and violence yet again; let's hope not. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12/8/ex-syrian-pm-to-supervise-state-bodies-until-transition-al-julani-says
  20. The MAGA supporters on this platform are only mirroring trump. An indication how low social dialogue in the US will degrade further over the next four years.
  21. Probably neither, though trump did previously tried to stab the Kurds in the back after they had 10,000 casualties fighting ISIS. US military persuaded him not to do so. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-syria-ap-top-news-international-news-politics-ac3115b4eb564288a03a5b8be868d2e5
  22. I post OPs in order to contribute to the platform. But I'm not obliged to respond to anyone, e4specially MAGA types who endeavour to control / censor.
  23. No, I'm not "hurty" just run out of patience and boring.
  24. Russian interaction was not a hoax, that's MAGA world nonsense. Credible news outlets do the reporting, they don't make up the content., opinion pieces are aa different matter. However, I no longer have patience with yet another MAGA poster; won't bother to reply any further.
  25. Been with this platform for 16 years. US based platforms are full of vicious and ugly commentary - no interest
