State superintendent of Oklahoma MAGA Ryan Walters, who has banned books (like The kite runner) and wants more bibles in schools caught sexually explicit naked women in his office on the TV. He campaigned to keep pornography out of schools.
Looking at naked women during a hearing?!

This isn't a debate thread, its just a leftie bitch fest, just like the one in Bike Radar was. Still curious as to why so many people make it such a personal thing when it comes to a foreign head of state.
Unfortunately it's broader than Trump's impact on the US. What one country does can impact others. eg Trump/US might want ever worse, ever more frequent climate disasters but his/their policy of expanding hydrocarbon burning whilst reducing renewable energy will impact everybody else in the world. eg Trump is perpetuating wars in other countries killing innocent citizens who also got no say in his election - Trump could stop the Israel/Gaza war today but he choses not to and choses to allow the killing to continue. etc.

There is a case to say US electorate elected Trump so on their heads be the impact of Trump but rest of the world didn't yet will be significantly impacted by a fair portion of what he's doing. Personally I tend to speak out for others anyway but that's a personal thing eg loss of healthcare for the vulnerable, etc.

icowden brilliantly summarised all the maybe's and Stevo says nowt in direct response. There is lack of empathy there. Difficult to distinguish between the detachment as a psychosis in itself or autism.

...and for the benefit of Stevo (as he's going on the ignore list so that I and this thread is not hijacked by Schmidt l and my responses (for that and the following, I apologise to all on here):

Dear @Stevo 666

The Porsche driving leftie was left money by his brutal and very frugal father who deeply lacked compassion and empathy. He only knew rage and disempowering sympathy. I thought he may turn in his grave if I purchased something that would have made his blood boil with the thought of such wanton profligacy.
The Porsche driving leftie is much more centrist than you think. If you think my views are very left, then you have a certain myopia on top of all the other traits.
The 911 in question was sold when the novelty wore off and the girls grew taller so I potter around in my 944 which is now 36 years young to which I have fully restored with my own hands, including re-building of the engine. Something you are completely incapable of doing. You just pay people to do things like that as you have pointed out multiple times as you see people who do manual or technical work as necessary but seemingly inferior because they earn less than you,
...and you sit on the pedestal of coming from Redcar and making it in the world and you cannot understand why others don't do exactly the same. Another sign of some sort of detachment - right in autistic territory.

A common mantra of the Tories in the Norman Tebbit vein when he recalled his father getting on his bike during the great depression. The hypocricy inherent in free market capitalists - they need the industry and war fodder but when the fodder wants something in return and/or when the capitalism breaks down, the fodder complains. After all, the great depressions have all been caused by the proletariat haven't they? ...and if they are unemployed or impoverished it's because it's their choice. I am successful and it's because I am superior is the repetition of a very unidimensional view again, suggestive of autism.

It must be very easy to dethatch yourself from any care or empathy and cruise along in a bubble. The only way that it can be done successfully and repetitively is if there is something psychological that is amiss.
You so very rarely (if ever) express feelings whilst simultaneously wonder why others do. Why should they care? Why should something miles away bother them? It doesn't affect them directly, so what's the problem? They're having an emotional meltdown, they're acting like a woman (i've heard all of this over the years from you). "Pina [silly attempt at feminising 'Pinno' being threatened by it I guess] is a bit of a woman" you said.
Only women express emotions? Your poor wife. Oh and you pay her to be at home and do nothing so the least he can do is wash your underwear and cook. I do all the earning (Schmidt?).

Inherently, autistics often find it very difficult to see another POV or understand someone else's position/situation, so they will never be moved on a theory or idea as that theory/idea does not fit their idea, most significantly when it comes to the emotive. There are inordinate examples of your compartmentalisation, detachment and lack of empathy.

It's up to you to address your issues, not us.

If I wanted War and Peace I'd ask for it.

Now imagine the reaction on here if I claimed that another forumite was mentally ill because they asked a question that I didn't like...

I'm not sure how much directly affect them, yet it seems to be deeply personal. I would have thought that Putin or one of his chums in (say) Iran would be more deserving of people's anger.

Putin is clever and principled. Whilst his country and actions are a threat, we know that they are a threat. He has never been an ally of the West. America has. It's been loud, and annoying and brash, but has always worked in concert with other western nations. Under Trump, these relationships have been destroyed. America is no longer a somewhat neutral positive country allied against the axis of evil. It's an unhelmed disaster smacking into one rock after another whilst systematically destroying accords and agreements that would have helped other countries.

It is in danger of becoming another territory which could end the world. The West is therefore rightly concerned.

Also, Putin doesn't exactly have a fan club on here. We recognise that Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un are wrong-uns.

Putin and principled are two words I don't often hear in the same sentence.

Well - principled in his own way. He knows how to run his country and follows coherent rules and strategies. He isn't a stonebonker. But if he's planning to stab you in the back, he will actually tell you - and then stab you and throw you out of the window accidentally. He's very consistent about disposal of his opponents.

Say that to the airline passengers or the many people who fell out of third floor windows

He was clever enough to make them fall out of third floor windows and principled enough to ensure that all of his opponents fall out of third floor windows. I didn't say he was nice.

Do we still have a car industry? Or maybe rebuilding it from scratch will be that big Brexit bonus, based on Trump's long-term strategic planning.

About 3 miles from where I live, there is what is, reputedly, the most productive car plant in Europe, and, a mega battery factory, under construction.
