President Trump

Republican Party efforts to disrupt the 2024 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

Then Google Democracy Watch.
Just this week Trump called on Texas to give him 5 seats by redistricting. Naturally the districts to be broken up are populated by students, racial minorities and others likely to vote Democrat.
If you think the activity is the same for both parties, you are badly misinformed.
I am amazed at your approach here.
You really don’t know about jerrymandering, postal vote denial, Jan 6 etc?

He doesn’t want to know.

We all know that if he was American he’d be voting for Trump like he’s voting for Farage in this country.

I'll play - if you can tell me whether he meant nuclear-powered subs or nuclear-armed subs, and if the latter what sort of nuclear weapons because if ICBMs wouldn't they be less vulnerable nowhere near Russia?

US SSBNs are deployed already and will have Russia well in range. Trump just trying to look big

Has to be the most immature and stupid comment on this thread (and that takes some doing)... still boys will be boys eh? Have a good snigger lads.

An inappropriate place would be out of range of a potential target. What did you think he meant?

For a deployed SSBN on patrol, there are no inappropriate places

Yes, I realise that. But it’s the only thing it could mean which is why it’s bollocks.

Sacking the person delivering the news on jobs because the figures weren't good is bizarre.
It would be like sacking Ford's accountant because of a gearbox problem.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Quoted as saying he's moving subs to appropriate places. Why has he had them in inappropriate places?

He likes to brag that he’s “doing something,” even when it’s stupid and ridiculous.

Stilling flooding the zone with information, all of it of dubious worth, at best!

Anyone talking about Epstein today??
Then, it’s working!!!

The sacking has spooked the markets as much as the poor data. If there’s no way of determining the state of the economy based on official statistics then people are going to invest their money elsewhere. The US is embarking on a downward spiral that can only be resolved by them getting rid of the mango Mussolini.

I think you'll find he was asking where the submarines were and where they were going to... I suppose the US Navy could at least have provided the GPS coordinates eh?

Thankfully, none of us have a fuckin' clue where they were or where they were going.... and to think such information would ever be disclosed is plain daft. It's called counter-intelligence or as Trump might like to say "fake news"....

...keep up.

With you mentioning flooding it reminds me of when he drained some reservoirs in Northern California which flooded lower lying areas of Northern California, and he said he’d solved the drought in Southern California by turning on the taps. And there’s still people who believe this dangerous lunatic. It’s quite bizarre.

It was a general question that didn’t need to be answered in terms of latitude and longitude. But you didn’t understand that. Not surprised.

So summarise... which group of registered American citizens is Trump taking votes away from?

He’s taking away the ability to vote - which mainly affects (as ever) the poor and disadvantaged, by multiple means, including not allowing people to give voters standing in line water/food, allowing intimidation of voters at polling stations, delaying and obsuficating the process of voting, making it harder to register to vote.
…and then there is all the gerrymandering of district boundaries, so they can end up like a piece of spaghetti - ghettoing sections of a district into an other district to either reduce the population likely voting intentions or increasing.

But yeah it’s all fair and aboveboard, nothing to see here, everyone , as long as they are one of rich/white/evangelical/republican - gets the ability to easily register to vote, easily can vote,and is assisted to vote.

It’s not bizarre in the least. It was completely predictable. I predicted it. Because now he’ll just throw shade on any critical Commerce/Labor or other data that does not confirm whatever narrative he wants to spin. And his cult will lap it up.

Just another one to to add to the mile high stack of reasons why it’s a fascistic state , that will be ignored by the cultee’s

You know....? That's the same as is happening here in Wales with the additional 38 or so Assembly Members at the next election in May '26... they [Labour] are rejigging the boundaries and introducing an element or PR... except you don't vote for the politician but the party, so they can decide who represents you.

An additional 38 members over and above the existing 60, this in a country that already has the lowest ratio of constituents to members.... don't forget we're [Wales] broke as a country but can sfford this luxury. It's not as if they're dividing the current budget between 98 members as opposed to 60.... it's a fucking joke.

Back to America... I take it these constraints aren't party political, in other words, Republican voters will be treated exactly the same as Democrats? I agree it is unfair and unjust... but shit (like in Wales) happens... just suck it up.

none of us have a fuckin' clue

Stupid.... like you know what you're talking about as demonstrated by an out of context quote

D4 must try harder to make a meaningless point.

I’ll ignore the Wales nonsense because you’re like a broken record.

As for your question, of course it’s party political. It’s been explained to you several times why but either you don’t have the mental capacity to understand or you just don’t want to know because you’re the UK equivalent of MAGA. Actually you could be both.

Ignore Wales... that's the spirit.

I intimated that what is happening is unfair and will carry a bias and you old chap are so far up Keir (he can do no wrong) Starmers arse I'm guessing you can see daylight beyond them there tonsils.

Enjoy your fantasy.

At least I’m not up Trump’s rancid arse like you.
Imagine making excuses for that ****!
