Jeremy Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 A friend (political junkie) played this recording to me today. I think Trump is a MOFO but I also think the second impeachment is a farcical political stunt and Derschowitz is right about the constitutional right to freedom of speech. I would be happy to have Derschowitz on my side in a legal battle. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cszbyj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental gymnastics. The further you become detached from reality, the easier it gets to form your own social construct. Just look at the anti-Vaxers; you’d think a global pandemic on the scale of Covid would have eradicated their conspiracy once and for all, I mean how much more blatant proof do you need of what a world without one vaccine is like, let alone several dozen. However, they don’t see it like that. Somehow this is the concrete evidence they need that vaccines are being used to control the population and that appart from a few geriatrics already on deaths door, nobody really suffers from it.

They're about to move to a new development across the city and before going Yorkie has convinced one of his current neighbours, a Q follower, that he's in fact a member of a global anti ANTIFA network, working undercover, to gather information before a mass arrest event. Yorkie is an old school socialist but they believe that's just his cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 (edited) I remember a post before the 2016 election by LV Saint (Which I agreed with) That while he didn't want to see Trump win the election, there was a small part inside him that hoped he would, just for the shitz and giggles. Even after all that has happened in the last few years, while most of me is totally appalled at how this experiment turned out, another part of me is grateful for the ride. This was not like watching a train wreck, it was more like having a seat directly behind the lunatic driver of a jet powered death train with a fear activated hand grenade under the seat. The continuous feed of trouser staining horror has been liberally punctuated by moments of unbelievably bollock tickling hilarious shit that kept me on an even keel. In other words, a roller coaster ride but with civil liberties versus racism and lies versus truth. I'm glad I was alive to be a witness to this hysterically funny tragic Brian Rix hatred style farce. While I look forward to another traditional and somewhat boring administration of sensibility and responsibility, I will always look back to these times when I am older just as I do when I think back of shagging Wendy Realname when I was not quite sure if she had a dose of the clap or not.

Jeremy Posted 16 January, 2021 Share Posted 16 January, 2021 Not sure if I've mentioned this before but, apparently, there is record interest from Americans enquiring about emigrating to New Zealand. The problem is that we have these eligibility rules that give preference to wealthy people. I think some immigration is ok (inevitable) but I wouldn't be happy with living with people harbouring crazy political ideologies.

I guess those with Medicaire are generally OK but for the poor individuals who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic it must be a real concern.

America probably needed a Trump presidency as a kind of nadir moment, so that the many underlying problems that have been bubbling away under the surface could be brought to bear and addressed once and for all. Either that or things are going to get a whole lot worse. The way the world has gone politically over the last few years, it's really difficult to make any predictions these days.

The US pulling out of that treaty was ridiculous, and it is understandable that Iran increased the enrichment programme after the deal was cancelled and sanctions were imposed. Whether this was about control, a gesture to Israel, an attempt to create regional instability, and what Trump would have done with Iran given another term, we'll never know. Hopefully Biden will do the right thing and reinstate the treaty, and Iran will roll backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
