    Ended up pardoning Fauci too meanwhile Trump has pardoned the creator of the silk road cause the libertarians are fans of his.

    Hmmmm, she's clearly capable of displaying more honour that Donald Trump so.

    “I lost my critical thinking,” she (Pamela Hemphill) said on Wednesday, reflecting on her involvement in the riot and the “Stop the Steal” movement. “Now I know it was a cult, and I was in a cult.”

    Ms. Hemphill, 71, who was called “MAGA Granny” in some news headlines, has said that she no longer supports Mr. Trump or believes his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

    Good to see that there are some people, at least, that are able to get out of the cult, as she calls it.

    I see Trump has fired some white house staff. It's just so different from Ireland. Imagine Martin trying to fire some Dail staff here!

    Wasn't he going to make sure that thousands of undocumente immigrants were deported on his first day in office.

    So we're thousands rounded up and deported today?

    It's the gang members and serial crime "illegal immigrants" he's going after.

    Who wouldn't want them gone?

    What are those poor Bakersfield farmers going to do now that they cannot no longer exploit 75% of their work force.

    Meanwhile he just pardoned a person who was instrumental in a large-scale drug operation...

    Quiet you! He's busy stopping the Ukrainian war!!

    The Dreaded Pirate Roberts, gave people free choice. Most of the stuff he sold is now legal in most states in America.

    Some of the drugs are legal but you'd have to be pretty naive to assume the people doing the selling didn't include more dangerous criminals.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Sweetemotion


    True.

    But you could be sure with the thumbs up and down, you were getting what you bought and not some fethonol rat poiseners connection.

    That is killing thousands by the day.

    In the name of sanity who is REALLY running America …… or is than now Handmaidstaleistan ??!! ….. health agencies told to cease external communications ….. bizarre threats to various countries ….. no rights given to certain groups …… who is cominng up with this evil policy?? … it is like something from a dystopia …. you just couldn't make it up …..

    Trump we all agree is the court jester …. he ain't the leader …. Trump is a failed businessman in debt and vulnerable and WEAK ….. easy to compromise and control ….. Trump's financial incompetence is the reason why the evil real leader can use him to front for him and prepare the way for a Handmaid's Tale-style shadowy dictatorship …. did not see the real leader there revealed openly either ironically …… strange how close fact and so called 'fiction' are ….. this real leader is someone much more sinister more hidden more evil than Trump who was NOT even part of the 2017-21 admin because this one makes that one look like relatively moderate …. it is probably some Tea Party crackpot with money who has been planning this since 9/11 and has used Trump, Musk, etc. to do his initial dirty work for him …. whoever is the real leader of current America NEEDS to be removed with immediate affect and the people NEED to get rid of him now before he does any more damage ….. you can be sure than Trump, etc. are 100% afraid of this guy who probably is a terrorist leader with militias he can organise on a whim like 6th January 2021 ….

    If Trump moves against this guy he is 100% dead …. but this guy is not powerful enough to defeat a popular revolt …. look how quickly Milosevic fell ….. another guy fronting for a terrorist organised crime group ….. the minute terrorist leader Arkan was shot dead the regime was crumbling ….. we need now to find the Arkans behind Trump and deal with them in the same way …. and get rid of this so called MAGA evil …..

    Of course they don’t. It’s nonsense


    Putin would always settle for peace, if the path to joining NATO was blocked for Ukraine and Russian got to keep Donbas+Crimea.

    Trump will push for it.

    Re all the publicity around the signing of all those executive orders THE ONLY THING THAT Is MISSING is a backdrop sign saying. ‘ AGENDA 25 STARTS RIGHT HERE’. !!!!!!!!

    It would be of interest to know the individuals behind the compilation of all of these . I assume that none of the Biden admin staff were involved. Given the number of them , the words used, their contents and the broad spread of areas covered there must have been a large number of people involved burning 10000s’ of hours of ‘candle light’ . They had the 4 years to come up with them

    I wonder will the RC. Pope follow her up and say something similar or/and for that matter will other heads of church/ other religious leaders / other leaders come out from the woodwork and support her - or are they afraid of YOU KNOW WHO and what he might do ?
    Remember what happened when than coloured man was Literally ‘choaked’ to death by those policeman leaning on his back and that went viral and lead to the Black Lives Matter movement.
    Ii wonder if the Rev Pastor’s utterances could lead to something similar minus the voilent element?

    This is nonsense. You seem to think that "the establishment" is "anyone who disagrees with Trump".

    Can't help but notice that there's no mention of "the government" in your definition. To try to claim that the establishment is a few left wing professors instead of the actual government, shows how little you understand what you are talking about.

    6588 Post no 6588 is well worth looking at. One might not like Bernie Saunders but he points to a MASSIVE gap in all of the Presidents EO and utterances - of which there were many. He said what Trump Did not say even one word about is what was disturbing.He continued that America has a number of very serious national issues that need a national response and all need immediate attention eg inflation, food prices, health, housing, security, etc and not one word about any of them. .
    His EOs’ / utterances were mainly about getting revenge - indirectly- control and putting money into the pockets of a certain sector

    I find it to be a bit of a tell whenever anyone describes Melania as "stunning". Using superlatives when a "she's pretty attractive / good looking" would have worked to make the point, but no…."stunning". Not the best poker move, just saying.

    Don't get me wrong, superficially she's not unattractive, but I simply can't get past the Facism Nightmare Barbie vibe I get off her. Someone who I suspect is ugly at heart…so maybe she's actually the perfect partner for Donnie…if she didn't hate him so much.

    If the 75% being exploited are not happy they can always go back to where they came from where , I assume, they were less exploited , move on to another employer where conditions would be better. Immigrants worldwide - most have mobiles- network a lot and they know the ‘local score ‘ re vacancies, conditions, etc. IMO, the reality is that , in the main, the exploitive position - let’s call it that- they are in is the best available to them until something better turns up.

    Also is it right to attach western standards of living to immigrants working for poor wages. Maybe they , o the main, are fairly happy with their lot for the moment

    From what I understand Bishop Budde is an outlier. She being a bishop in the Episcopal church which would have a very different take on certain beliefs held by Trump and other Christian churches. I would doubt very much if any other ministers or priests could or would support some of what she said in her speech.

    I know I'm late to this but the hat the first lady was wearing on Monday reminded me of Mel and Kim.

    Poor Mel, died very young.

    Of course I didn't mention the government. The government changes with every election. The establishment does not.

    And the funny part is most Irish people are very much so looking in her admiration for the stand she took. My nearly 80 year old mother was praising her yesterday. So while he might be getting admiration from plenty in the US for his targeting of trans, non binary people etc that's not the case in plenty of places. If anything the US is coming across as incredibly backward.
