US Politics Thread

[BlueHammer85]

I have just watched the new film Nuremberg and I tell you the end of that film scares the shit out of me because it’s happening again and this time in the most powerful nation on earth and there won’t be a Nuremberg trial for this lot unfortunately.

That was definitely a nod to Trump/MAGA near the end.

I've lived and worked in the U.S. since the Mets last won the World Series. Had a good career, paid taxes, traveled all over. and will probably die here. But I never became a citizen, being too irredeemably English to swear loyalty to another country. But at 77 I'm going to do it. When the ceremony's done and they hand me my piece of paper I want to ask "So I'm a U.S. citizen now? And i can speak my mind?" And when they tell me yes I'll say "well then, Donald Trump is an evil **** and I bet a lot of you in this hall agree."

I moved to the US in 2002. I was quite happy to live on Visas then a Green Card and recognize that politics was just something that happened to me. In 2019 I took citizenship because I simply couldn’t sit on the sidelines any longer.

The Yanks never signed up to the ICC.

There's no one to prosecute him.

All of the criminal family running the US are free of any fear of consequence, and they gleefully know it

State crimes is the way to go. No Trump pardons.

You can never tell if this real or not with the current administration.

From the epilogue to Bertolt Brecht's play The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (Hitler as a Chicago gangster) written in 1941 but reworked in English translation after the war:

The dog is dead, but don't rejoice you men,
The bitch that bore him is in heat again.

Nothing worse, giving those 2 a click to fund their life styles.

 

[johnny crossan]

some serious and telling points being made here - 'civilizational erasure' we need to to wake up to what's happening - the first clip of Trump is astonishing

That's hazelnuts...

What's got a hazelnut in every bite?

Yeah, but who’d win the fight, a squirrel or a hare?

GOP won the last mayoralty election in Miami by about 60 points. The current election is returning a Democrat candidate by 19 points, a swing of almost 80 points. This is astonishing, brought about by the huge Latino population in Miami. Trump is toast.

Astonishing swing.

Maybe employing racist dickhead Steven Miller as Homeland Security Advisor was a really bad idea?

The overwhelming majority of Latinos in Miami are law abiding and hard working. The local economy depends on them, but they are being rounded up indescriminately by Trump’s appalling ICE machine. There are also a large number of Venezuelans whose special protection has been removed. One firm was ordered to sack 27 workers. Madness.

Spoiler - this is a horrific watch.

It is hard to believe this is happening in the land of the free. Eventually the reckoning will be terrible. I can envisage four more years of this ending in the people taking up arms against these forces.
And Trump says Europe is erasing civilisation.

Have you tried a jar of Marmite with Crunchy Peanut Butter ? It’s an actual thing.
