North Korea agressive assertions and Chinas Taiwan asserions is making a ww3 look ever more likely.

It seems that the US far right in blocking help for Ukraine has got us in quite a pickle.

Yeah. But it’s so easy to counter his weak argument.

Yes - unless you consider his words to be the almost literal Word of God
and anything his says - or hints at - is therefore true and no arguments are acceptable

and trump seems to be an extreme case it this - for some people he is at the level of the worst cult leaders
I reckon he could literally lead them to the jungle and get them to take poison and a sizeable number would do it

It is scary that a country like the USA has any serious following at all for him
but here we are

Unlike the Guardian, the BBC in trying to look impartial, seems to be supporting a 'safe Trump'.

Meanwhile, 'Trump: The Criminal Conspiracy Case' now on iPlayer and Apple TV actually manages to cover Trumps attempted election heist without any sign whatsoever of the BBCs infamous political nothingness style.

(This seems to down to the fact that it is a 72 Films, Freemantle independent production. )

Although I remembered about the things it was covering

I had forgotten just how BAD is really was

and also - how trump, which appearing to be quite dumb, is very very good at making his meaning very clear but not actually using the words that could convict him

for example, when he was trying to get the Governor of Georgia to "find" 11,000 votes
a) he always said find - not invent - which could, in a court, be put forward as meaning that some vote had been missed an dthey needed to be found
b) he said that the Governor would be "respected" , "really so respected" if he did manage to "find" these votes - which again could not be used to convict him easily of an attempted bribe - but at the time must have been a clear suggestion that he would benefit a lot if he did what trump wanted

it is really quite clever
same with the Jan 6th - he never said "storm the building" or "get pence" or anything - the meaning was clear - ish - and how the crowd (or some of them) would take it was obvious but he never said the words

which is worrying - someone who sounds dumb and isn't
is dangerous!

I got the exact same. I think the fact it joins it all up makes the massive crime apparent.
Strangely, people like Eastman seem as dangerous as Trump himself. You can sense the very similar parallels to the 1930s Hitler rise.

Trump's publicity stunt at MaccyD's didn't get 100% good PR. Here are the Yelp reviews:

“Customer service was a joke. Senile old man got bronzer on my fries, didn’t wear gloves. Repeated himself several times, something about Ronald McDonald in the showers at the golf club? Idk.”
Another said, “The person who was at the drive through vaguely resembled someone who I saw on the news for being a convicted felon.”
A third wrote, “Free lies with every shake. You just don’t want to see who’s shaking. I asked for an Arnold Palmer. Old man told me I couldn’t handle it.”
And a fourth joked, “The fries were too salty as if someone who lost a major election had been crying over them for an hour.”

Yet the multiple times he has done it removes 100% of any doubt of his actual guilt. So why should those dumb enough to do his bidding be the only ones in gaol? If the felon wins everyone pardoned will have to sign an NDA.
