Donald I, emperor of the world.

I've often wondered whether the social media declaration meant all forums you have ever used, but I've just googled it and it is limited to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube. The other test is whether you have used it in the last five years.

Churchill wasn’t the best either but he was the right man for the job during WWII.

That's arguable.

Spain didn't want to increase defence Nato spending from 2% currently. Trump told them either pay for defence or pay with tariffs in trade

He can start by putting the Balearics on a US travel ban.
I was amazed that Mallorca was awash with Americans, just last week. They were everywhere and every one of them paying the Balearic tourist tax. 🤣

Brutality by ICE:

I have provided the link to this video. Pause it and listen/read the account of the experience of a detainee at a detention centre. X won't allow me to scroll through the author's posts to copy/paste directly as I refuse to pay their verification fee. What happened is harrowing.

That's arguable.

Wasn’t the alternative at the time keen to continue down the Starmer/Trump route until favouring raising the white flag?

It is good things like this gets publicity, but should it surprise anyone? ICE agents have publicly demonstrated their arrest procedures and the DoJ has publicly flouted judges orders concerning immigrants. So care in detention is going to be at the bottom of the list.

Speaking of judges, the dictator of South Canada has launched a further attack on the judiciary by suing all 15 Federal judges in Maryland. - Because the DoJ doesn't like the orders issued by the judges which block the deportation of brown people and prevents them from securing due process.

NSFW with the volume turned up:



It's clear from his evasion that he did say that. He wants to ignore court orders.

Forbes breaking news has numerous clips of Bove getting grilled at his nomination hearing. He's an evasive, slimy little c*nt. I am currently watching them.
He conveniently suffers amazing amnesia over what were important events/decisions. Trump must have a very very clean anus.

This is the main reason. The actual percentages are just fluff.
And Starmer is falling for it with the planes for starters.

And the rest of NATO has been happy to arrive at this situation because relying on the US has allowed them to spend less.

Will Starmer suggest a 5%* increase in income tax to pay for it? That money has to come from somewhere.
Will the electorate stand for it?

*Random top of my head figure.

All countries have to decide on their priorities when setting tax levels. The electorate will stand for anything the Mail or populists like Farage tell them.

The main constraint on supplying Ukraine with weaponry is the perceived risk of goading Russia into going nuclear. That and the fact that some East European countries are lukewarm about the idea.

That is a restraint, although I am not sure it is the main constraint, but either way it plays into Putin’s hands. Like Netanyahu constantly claiming Iran is on the verge of producing nuclear weapons Putin is always threatening to go nuclear
Some East European countries are also ambivalent about Russia.

 

[First Aspect]

That's arguable.

Well he was better than Neville Chamberlain.

Steven Miller has a huge stock holding in a company called 'Palantir'. This company is contracted to deport people.

Chamberlain wasn't available after 1940.

Palantir's an utterly terrifying US spy tech company - which recently bought control of NHS England's data for half a billion quid.

It's funny how corporations with Lord Of The Rings inspired names always seem to be Team Sauron.

Did you see his uncle reminding everyone what a hypocrite Miller is? (Original article from 2018)

I have watched with dismay and increasing horror as my nephew, an educated man who is well aware of his heritage, has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country.
