President Trump

So far, Trump has lost 90%+ of appeals where the rule of law has been challenged. The Supreme Court voted 9-0 against him.
I think you'll find that was a judgement in 1 particular case.
Since taking office the Trump administration has won 19 supreme court verdicts, however lost over 90% of cases in the courts.

You are on the wrong side of history, morality, and the Republican democracy the USA is supposed to be, but keep digging.

I can only hope BM is as kind to you as history will be.
 
China's priorities in the Xi era have been profoundly irrational and paranoid and that is reflected in their diminished economy, international position, the CCPs declining standing among Chinese etc.
I can understand why you think this, the media in the West often says similar things.
But..
It is a country that has maintained exceptionally low price levels, leveraging its robust industrial capacity to supply an abundance of affordable goods, significantly raising the standard of living for the vast majority of its citizens.

Economists can always find ways to argue, from various perspectives, that this nation's economy faces severe problems. Yet, no one starves in a grocery store as long as the shelves are stocked with food.
 
I haven't? I see you edited yours after I corrected your misunderstanding of a common English legal idiom. Happy to help!
If I’d edited mine after you’d posted yours it would say ‘edited at [the time]’ on the bottom right corner as you posted yours five minutes after mine.

So what you describe (and have claimed credit for) is an impossibility.

Sure.
 
Of course, but the reality is that the US and China have become locked into a competitive dynamic. It's unfortunate for everyone but given the irrational leadership on both sides, I don't see it changing.
Well it won't change when people like you "Don't want to change it" your words not mine
 
*on both counts. But you're not really responding to my point, which is that your positive comments about China demonstrate you don't know much about the country. China's priorities in the Xi era have been profoundly irrational and paranoid and that is reflected in their diminished economy, international position, the CCPs declining standing among Chinese etc.
whereas shitgibbons policies are entirely rational and his investigations into those who have "wronged" him show no sign of paranoia
 
Those are not alternative policies, it's just a rant on a very broad anti republican agenda.
They are alternative policies - they are the antithesis of the current regime.

Poster asked for alternative policies to counter perceived ‘echo chamber’ , poster doesn’t like being told factual alternative policies and can’t escape echo chamber of his own making.
 
What we are seeing in the US is really an eye-opener.

Around the table sat Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem. Each spoke of the danger of ANTIFA and about rioting in Portland. Surrounding them were a hand-picked selection of journalists. Events will be posted on the US President's social media channel. There appears to be no video evidence of any rioting in Portland but it will become 'fact' . It will feature on Truth Social (owned by Donald Trump) and on X (owned by Elon Musk) and soon on TikTok (I think Larry Ellison now has that one). There is an old saying that if you control the media, you control the people.

This sits alongside discussions about sending US troops into protect the citizens of various states that have 'real' issues with criminality. The governors of those states generally seem to be political opponents of Trump, and they point to many other states with higher crime rates, but it doesn't matter because the 'need' for intervention in those states is what is reported on those same social media channels and by those same journalists.

Before the US election, the creation of internal enemies was at the forefront of discussion by Kamala Harris. She said that Donald Trump would create them and would use the national guard against them. It was dismissed as fake news, and reported as fake on those same social media channels and by those same journalists. Now it is happening.

In the UK we see two highly influential broadcasters owned by non-doms through complex trust arrangements, and by Dubai-based investment groups. They also create a narrative of internal enemies in the UK, of culture change, and of future danger unless it is controlled now. Their politicians receive disproportionate amounts of air-time and their social-media posting is intense, and said to rely on a large number of funded bots.

I hoped that the internet age would see an end to mainstream media controlling the political landscape, and there has definitely been an upsurge in alternative views and the discovery of truths hidden for generations. It appears that we are now in the midst of a fightback from those wishing to preserve the status quo, and the purchase of social media channels by billionaires seems an obvious indicator of a desire to control the information that people receive.

If I was a billionaire, I would own stuff too, though mainly land for animal rescues and rehabilitation centres I think, so it isn't about what billionaires own, it is about the need for politicians and journalists to tell the truth, not create lies reported as truth reported by journalists they effectively employ. Then to pass those lies as fact on their own social media channels is so very dangerous, especially in a world so divided by their own manipulation.
 
Donald will win it next year.

Absolute cert.
Doubt it - this isn't some crappy, precious 'Hall of Fame' bollocks.

It's a seriously considered honour based upon objective assessment of a person's achievements and values, awarded by a panel of judges with genuine gravitas who aren't swayed by bullshit sound bytes.
 
Trump's Lacky's have published the attached health report on the ****.

Apparently, a morbidly obese, had a few minor strokes, Kankles that look like he's stuffed two tyres into his socks, totally unhinged, pathological liar, megalomaniac, can't walk in a straight line, thinks he's Hitler, eats nothing but McDonalds, is the fittest man alive!

This thread, for those who can be arsed, to post pictures of the ****, looking terrible, all the way to his much welcomed demise. A pictorial record of a scumbag on the road, hopefully a short one, to a coffin the size of a doubld wardrobe. The fat ****.

If this doesn't win the Booker or fiction, the world's gone mad.

The giveaway was his "frequent victories in golf events".
