So Fonzee, you believe that people who incite a mob to storm the USA's Capitol building and murder police officers shouldn't face consequences because that might make the mob angry again? Not every situation calls for "the right thing", and obviously it's not just that it might "make the mob angry"...

Israel has vaccinated 40% of its population already! It would be great to see the infection rate drop off the edge of a cliff there in the next 4 weeks. That would be the perfect case study to get governments to pull their collective fingers out and rapidly vaccinate! That excludes Palestinians, do...

Well that's an issue, they should have considered them earlier. Also bollocks on the no interconnectivity issue in NZ and Oz. We're hugely interconnected with Asia-Pacific and each other, I'm not sure why you have such odd ideas about us - we're not remote colonies. But both nations decided to shut...

Just reacquainting with A Forest and now the next Cure track is playing.

1 song? I'll have to think on that. It'll be dependant on my current mood, what I've been listening to, etc, etc.

So what will Republicans do about Trump and his threat to start a new political party: a) Nix him, via conviction in the senate, risking a bumpy ride for the next few years. b) Roll over foe the votes, helping to push the party further to the right as far as social policies go and authoritarianism,...

I think he might be suggesting that that the photo has been used by some people as an example of 2020 events. The fact that the Portland photo comes from 2018 does not make it fake. No different to using 2014 photos of caged children to have a go at Trump in 2018 . And this definitely happened. So ...

Trump wasn't so generous with his pardons after all, or simply f**ked up by not following the usual pardon process. ... judge, the Honorable Amy Berman Jackson, ruled in February 2019 that Manafort breached his cooperation agreement by repeatedly lying to the government, the court found that the gov...

Can't believe that Trump cult member MM still shows his despicable face on this forum. Genuine human scum who has cheered on death, murder, injury and illness all in the name of trolling "lefties".

Did Trump pardon anyone? Steve Bannon and Lil Wayne. He literally pardoned the guy who got jailed for swindling his supporters and embezzling the money they donated to build his wall. Which really shows who he cares more about . And what. Aside from the deserving few, the list is illustrative of th...

I listened to Trump's speech tonight. Had he stopped after the first 5min or so, this would have been his first decent speech in a long time , Presidential and democratic in standing.
