There is no freedom without justice.
There is no justice without law.
There is no law without police.
So, there is no freedom without police.
Which is not ideal, but just a fact.

We laugh, but I think Trump really does see the world like Putin does.
You are entitled to take anything belonging to anyone weaker than you simply because they are weaker.

This is already happening.

Which Trump and his courtiers hear as:
"Grift for you if you get Ukraine to surrender".

Yet more proof that if you haven't been able to solve the problem with duct tape, you aren't using enough duct tape.
Slava Ukrainii!

He's right.

HE DOES HAVE A BIG MOUTH!

I've never understood the moral justification for trick-or-treat.
Demanding goods with threats is a crime in all cultures, also know as robbery.
November 2, 2025 at 1:06 AM
Oh good.
Now I can tell a Chimp from a MAGA.
November 2, 2025 at 12:55 AM
No, really.
I laughed and smiled immediately.
He's great.
What is wrong with them?

What is sad is that Obama is so effortlessly charming and amusing and yet all those in shot behind him are so po-faced.

They still look so serious.

Either they cannot hear the exchange (which would be bad),
or they don't get it,
which would be even worse.

Is this video real?

It is the rule of law that you need to worry about in the US.

Russians vote, but because law bows to the Czar(Putin) they are slaves.

Your sex-offending-multiple-felon President has no respect for the law and merely wants to enslave you.

The clue is in the sex-offending-multiple-felon part.

This is poor analogy.
The Shire was in no position to oppose Sauron.
It is hard to find a direct analogy for the UK in Middle Earth because Gondor is now the EU.
The closest fit is probably Rohan.
Oh yes! And here we have Farage Wormtongue.
How appropriate!
Trump is a kind of Denethor-once-removed.

20 drones killing 13 thousand pigs is utterly implausible.
20 drones killing 13 sows and pigs is believable.
Did this story somehow get garbled?

He has the most expensive intelligence operation in the world at his fingertips as well as an enormous range of press outlets available to him.
Yet he only knows that Putin is bombing Ukraine because his wife told him?
Does anyone really believe ANYTHING he says?

That crew member in the red/white hat, who had to sprint down the road after the car...
Was he expecting the car to land and stop dead?
Or didn't he know where it was going to land and how fast it would be going?
Either way, they look like dangerous amateurs.
And they nearly killed a cameraman.

There is a lot of good and sensible advice and many beneficial and helpful sentiments in the thoughts and prayers of all the many and various religions and beliefs around the world.

Even if you do not believe, they are worth your attention.

Sadly, this is not one of them.

All my life I have respected the US.
Then in 2016 my faith in the great beacon of democracy was shaken.
In 2020 I was horrified by the closeness of the contest.
In 2024 I realised that since over 50% of US voters do not have my respect, then the nor does the country.
Which makes me sad.

But we have already destroyed the Ukrainian Air Force so many times that even the "Good" Russians realised we were lying so we had to stop mentioning it.

Surely you are not suggesting we ACTUALLY destroy anything?
We tried that three years ago. It is too hard.
June 28, 2025 at 10:01 PM
But mein Gröfaz, we know this is all part of the plan.
These aeroplanes are Western and therefore decadent and useless.
Some components have been fitted (or even designed!) by moral degenerates such as gays/democrats.
So these aeroplanes must be ineffectual/effeminate!
(either way, same difference?)
June 28, 2025 at 9:54 PM
This is an attempt to nip thigs in the bud.
The security around UK bases weak & extremely cheap, because the threat level is low.
If everyone with different view on what the RAF should be doing protested like this then the threat level, and the cost, would go through the roof.
Let's spend elsewhere.

It is the infant and infantile MAGA I worry about.
June 8, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Well, that's a relief.
I wouldn't want Beckham to be awarded a Knighthood by anybody else's King Charles.
