    being pro Christian seems to be highly desirable when one wants to stay in POWER. When the ‘plebs’ / simple people/ rural , People /country folk see you - think Trump, Putin, Levitt- see you with a cross around your neck, blessing yourself, attending Christian ceremonies, lighting symbolic candles in churches the above list think that HE/SHE is ONE OF US even though the complete opposite might be the case


    According the that Finnish Intelligence officer who did a study on Russia covering Russia from the Mogul Period he concluded that in order to have complete power you must to be seen as having a religious element in your ‘tool kit’

    The mentality behind this is truly sickening.

    And these are the people who go to war with the likes of execution-happy Iran?

    As long as you wear a cross around your neck and carry a bible-then it's God's will!

    If God exists, he has a special retribution in store for those types.

    Israel and the US share a promised land mythology, even though the most Calvinist predestination tenet cities there having to be a quota of Jews alive to be tried on the day of judgement.

    The photo is fake but he did doze off. There is video of it (a lot of clearly fake videos too)

    That's not how it works. The Windsors would make it look like an accident.

    AI slop but

    It's like the UK dealing with the EU during Brexit right down to the EU showing their cards by publishing their negotiating position.

    Iran is a theocracy. That means there's a hierarchy of like minded people to step in.

    Example, if you remove the pope all you have done is removed a bishop. And as long as there is one bishop left he can ordinate others.

    TRUMP Decoded:

    FAKE NEWS = This is true.

    LOW IQ = Their intelligence intimidates me.

    HORRIBLE PERSON = They tell the truth about me.

    WITCH HUNT = I did it and hoped no one would find out.

    HOAX = it happened and is a damning indictment of me & my illegal activities.

    MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING = I just made this up.

    BELIEVE ME = What I'm saying is not true

    NOBODY KNOWS MORE ABOUT X THAN I DO:

    I know almost nothing about X.

    I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT = I am heavily involved and do know about it

    VERY UNFAIR = I'm being treated the same as everyone else.

    ANY USE OF NUMBERS= completely fictional and made up

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    The G20 summit later this year is to be held at the Trump Doral Property in Miami. They are not even trying to hide it anymore. The media and politicians are not holding him to account



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,043 ✭✭✭RoyalCelt


    Like Greenland I'm not convinced the US will actually do anything with the Falklands but that's an easier situation considering they wouldn't be taking it for themselves, instead giving to an ally in Argentina.

    The UK is at its weakest ever currently with most of it's Navy understaffed and in dry dock. Starmer was recently trying to give Chagos away and pay billions to rent it. If the Americans forced it's transfer with Argentina paying a few billion to purchase I don't think Starmer would do anything.

    This is already a lot of assumptions and I don't believe it'll happen but assuming it does could the north of Ireland be next on his target list?

    Trump clearly doesn't give a **** about optics. I wouldn't put it past him going after Cuba post Iran but the Falklands coming into his cross hairs made me think of our occupied North. Could be a once in a generation opportunity for us.

    I'm on the verge of a site ban. Please don't rage bait me, I'm easily triggered especially late at night!

    Trump Inc., will charge a fortune and everyone will get screwed.

    I believe you will find that the folks on federal death row (current total, 7) are guilty of slightly more serious crimes than the majority of the 1,600 officially reported by the Iranian government as hanged last year.

    Bowers: 11x murdered (Synagogue shooting)

    Roof: 9x murdered (Church shooting)

    Tsarnaev. 3x murdered, 265 injured (Boston marathon bombing)

    Akbar. 2x murders of officers in a war zone.

    Gray. 4x murder, 8x rape.

    Hasan. 13x murdered. (Ft Hood shooting)

    Hennis. 3x murder, 1x rape.


    I get that Europeans aren’t fans of capital punishment, but I don’t think you can really make the case that the one government is comparable to the other in its use.

    If you are going to have executions, I don't see any issue with these (especially firing squads). The idea of a painless execution is a myth.

    Firing squads have repeatedly been requested by inmates.

    The Falklands are British. The native, indigenous people of the Falklands are British.

    Argentina is NEVER getting them, and Trump better understand that.

    If it'll sink Farage, I'll host Vance myself. As long as he doesn't mind sleeping on the… better not actually.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,562 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    I don't see it happening but I'd like the U.K Foreign Sceretary to diplomatically and regretfully inform the U.S ambassador late on Sunday that the U.K head of state will not be proceeding with his state visit to the U.S this month as a result of comments made by the U.S head of state about U.K territory been surrendered by the U.S to Argentina, with an inadvertent leak to the media of the King, on U.K Govt advice, declining to make the visit.

    Leave Farage alone

    until he has done as much damage to the Conservative party and their legacy as is possible.

    Then feel free to throw him under a bus.

    Trump needs immediate removal. Vance won't hold that lot of mé féinners together

    Peace talks announced on Friday afternoon just before the markets closed. Peace talks canceled on Saturday. Rinse and repeat



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,562 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    According to "The New Civil Rights Movement" Facebook page yesterday, a Republican politician [photo below] has said he will push the DOJ to "Now do Hanging". There's nothing like a bit of publicity for a politician standing on the Capitol steps to let people know where you stand on capital punishment. Will Trump wait to see the response from the public before responding on Truth Social?

    Trump knows nothing about the Falklands (or any other place in the world from Greenland to Albania) and cares less. He was thrashing around looking for some issue that he could use to bash Britain and some flunkey provided him with the name. We can expect some deranged posts about Ceuta and Melilla shortly.

    FFS, I'll have to watch this footage of the Pakistani PM greeting Vance and the Iranian delegation another few hundred times on CNN and Al-Jazeera

    It's not about understanding anything. Trump just feels slighted because the UK has a vastly superior leader (low bar, sure) who isn't going to commit his country to Trump's latest debacle. Anyone else would just move on.

    Melei sucks up to Trump, Starmer doesn't and that's all this Falklands business is about.

    US has fired the Ombudsman for "Stars and Stripes" the official military magazine.

    The Ombudsman was created by Congress in 1991 following attempts to censor reports on the Iran-Contra scandal.

    Bit of an aside, but…

    What is he proposing to do? (This is a mosque in Istanbul, it hasn't been a church since 1453.)

    I doubt more than 1% even know what the Hagia Sophia even is.
