At the moment it seems that the best hope for the world (and America) is that they will be continue to be so toxic and so incompetent that even their erstwhile supporters will notice.

Nick Jones Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Ah….. sane adult government……. Nothing like it https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/05/trump-elon-musk-fallout I find myself in the unusual position of (mostly) agreeing with Musk Hell of a way to run a country. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/05/trump-musk-fight-fallout

Only really question was when. It's like two six year olds in the playground 1

zetecspit Posted June 6 Author Posted June 6 (edited) I like that Musk has learnt from Trumps playbook. Specifically the way he has chucked the Epstein petrol bomb into the spat. Despite no evidence.... This could get VERY difficult for Trump, Musk is on a parallel level of "genius" and has effectively unlimited funds. The benefit for the rest of the world is that Trump will commit all his efforts to this, so won't have time to cause chaos. Only the odd game of golf. (at least I hope so) Edited June 6 by zetecspit

The truth or hard facts must never be allowed to interfere with the narrative. If 10 years ago (or even a bit less) someone had written a book/film/script running as reality has in recent times they’d have been thought deranged - or at least extreme satire! And one of these nutters has access to the nuclear button…..

(at least I hope so) There's genius and then .... Seneca quoted Aristotle, "no great genius has ever been without a touch of insanity", which will no doubt comfort the MAGA crew, but he meant poetic genius, and said in the same sentence that "Plato always knocked in vain at the door of poetry when he was sober." Drunk on power, the lot of them. John

Nick Jones Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Charlie Kirk might want to posthumously change his views on gun control….. “At a Turning Point event in Salt Lake City in April 2023, he said, “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” …….. welcome to the statistics pal…. 1

JohnD Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) "Some gun deaths"? SOME? 47,000 a year in the US, or 13/100,000 population. UK, about 0.04/100K. For most other countries, that ratio is less than 1.

RogerH Posted September 13 Posted September 13 But the second amendment is written in stone. Yoy can't change the second amendment.
Escadrille Ecosse Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) 24 minutes ago, RogerH said: But the second amendment is written in stone. Yoy can't change the second amendment. Exactly. It is absolutely necessary to have an armed populace as it's the only way to prevent truly appalling loss of life happening, y'know like the 'Boston massacre' (eight eventually died). Important moment though in achieving "Freedom". Apparently from comparatively civilised behaviour. Edited September 13 by Escadrille Ecosse
JohnD Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Relax. Aren't we lucky, here in errupt? Well, not dead,certainly.
