Does this explain why he keeps failing the cognitive tests? It's not that he can't pick out the elephant, it's that, when the doctor says,"Which is the elephant?" Trump thinks, "What the hell's an elephant?" 🤣

Did he let slip that he's not really American? "... No *you* don't" not "we".

Not at all. This is just another opportunity for a headline. If the documentary is slated for January, then filming is done. There's only editing left, and with LK involved, you know it's going to be favourable to Reform Ltd, so it's win win for them.

Another day, another Reform headline on the BBC

We are in agreement on your last sentence. Which is why I believe that the meaning wasn't changed.
November 12, 2025 at 11:26 AM
This could go forever 😁 and we'll never know for certain. I'm inclined to go with the evidence of hundreds of people attacking a building after listening to his speech in full, but OK.

I accept your explanation absolutely, but I've only ever heard it used as a pejorative by people with extreme left views, to describe anyone to their right politically.
November 12, 2025 at 10:59 AM
No. But in this case the context was rousing his minions to attack the Capitol Building, which is what they then did.

Neither the meaning, nor context was changed by the edit.

I appreciate that you think it was. I don't believe that a court will get the opportunity to decide which of us is right.

Except they didn't change the entire meaning. His followers knew exactly what he meant, and followed his instructions. Editing the footage 3 years later didn't change that.

Is the implication that anyone using a VPN is trying to evade the OSA?
November 12, 2025 at 10:19 AM
I beg your pardon. I have only ever heard it used as a pejorative. I stand corrected.

My point stands, it's used as an insult by the extreme left to mean anyone not as extreme as they are. (And that's how I've heard it used 🤷)

I assumed it was simply the right version of the equally nonsensical "blue Labour". It's aimed at people on their own side of politics who aren't extremists.

So do broadcasters simply run all of Trump's rambling in its entirety? Or do they include a commentary:
T: half a sentence
C: there followed 17 minutes of disconnected mumbling
T: phrase
C: there followed 12.5 minutes of unintelligible syllables

...

Another day, another Reform UK Limited headline on the BBC.

Are these the same people who said we should never kowtow to foreign governments, and take back control? Oh and something about sovereignty?

There's a bible saying that we've turned into a critical one. We say, "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing". Originally it related to charitable giving. The bible says that when you do good works, it should be so secret that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

Did anyone mention the financial crash as the reason those regulations were brought in? 🤫
November 11, 2025 at 10:40 AM
The BBC "allegedly" libeled him. That's still to be proven.

The basis of the documentary is still true. Trump incited insurrection in the US.

He understands nothing, does he? This amazing new equipment that they're ordering for example (even if it's true) will take a year to source, and another couple of years (at least) until it's in service. They can't go live until they are 100% confident. "There aren't any laybys at 30000 feet".
November 10, 2025 at 9:12 PM
If this goes to the UK courts, he will have to show detriment, and since everyone already knows he incited insurrection, no detriment accrued 🤷
