This may be hope/wish by me rather than a quantifiable rationale but surely as the futility of hard(-ish) right thinking unfolds under Trump, along with a shifting, modernising political framework to fill, the idea of trying something new might stick more than it has in the stagnant trad patterns? š¤

Ok. Fair play for explaining some of it. But Iām still not sure how we arrived at Musk rigging machines. I think we both bat for the same team and it pains me to lean towards Musk but we aināt gonna win with supposition or wishing. No evidence Musk rigged machines. I just feel weāll win with truths.

Hmmm.. I think we need to be careful here. The Right, worldwide, plays the āI wish it, therefore it is truthā game. I donāt want to join in with that. Any evidence to back this up or are we playing rumour bingo with those thicker than a submarine hatch?
Educate me and make me know this is truth.

I think the interview was interesting and made valid points on possible weakening of a partyās position by obfuscation. It wasnāt a hit piece. It was discussion and didnāt leave anyone capable of rational thought doubting Trumpās questionable state of mind IMHO. Different discussion. Different show.

I know itās arguably a reach comparing these 2 elements of UK current affairs but the irony and hypocrisy is strong with this. You can just empty your head on a post with no recourse and no fear that youāll be reprimanded or questioned. We live in weird times where winning appears to be only goal.

Explain this to me like Iām 12 James. Which bit are you painting, how far is āas farā and why?
Iām not being obtuse or questioning anything. Just donāt fully grasp it.

Maximise with the arrowsā¦. Iām sure you knew that and it isnāt your point I know.
But I use Bluesky on iPad way more than on my phone and itās fine. Itās not somewhere I go for āsexyā; itās where I go for words, and it does that. Always room for a polish but it isnāt spoiling the app for me TBH.

Isnāt just an American thing though Mr S373N (if I may call you that). Here in UK you can hate our PM all day despite his party shifting stuff slowly but surely in the right direction. Xitter is full of folk trying to prove heās gay, like thatās gonna change anything if he is š¤·āāļø. We have idiots too š

Problem with getting grown up positions is that you have to have grown up ideas. Racism in the UK is essentially written in crayons on X & turning racism into joined up writing is hard. Hopefully. And hopefully it makes a lot of people look stupid.
Itās a wish and a hope but Iām sticking with it.

Also, my (apparently great) reply above had no reference to American politics specifically. Itās a general comment on what right-leaning folks THINK left-leaning folks believe regarding borders. It had no connection with any mythical Biden Harris āopen inviteā. I think you need to debate better IMHO

The BBC is regularly accused of right wing bias so this isnāt some left wing mouthpiece. Itās one of many reputable sites debunking this (rather questionable) narrative.

Valid question which I think a lot of folk (including me) are asking. Dad was a foundryman and assures me you canāt but he isnāt at the cutting edge anymore (despite being fabulous) so Iām doing some digging on this very issue to see if it has legs.

Iām going to take all the information youāve kindly shared with me and read up on it. Thank you for offering your views. Iāll take them onboard and if I learn something from my subsequent reading then itās a win win all round Iād say.

I donāt agree with anything youāve offered as evidence here. Thatās how this sometimes works. You have no links to a credible source. Youāre threatening someone who doesnāt agree with you on social media. Just stop now. Itās not a good look.

So youāve hoped female members of my family get raped, you threatened to crack my skull open, youāve requested my address so you can send murderers to my house and youāve wished me dead. This isnāt normal behaviour. Go talk to someone.

Go back and re-read this thread. If youāre ok with how youāve come across then definitely talk to someone. Itās not normal.

Ok. Iām starting to feel like Iām using you for point scoring entertainment and itās becoming a little uncomfortable.
Go talk to someone about this kind of stuff. Someone who can help. Youāre sounding unhealthy and troubled now. Itās no longer ājust a bit of banterā.

Take a break Mr. Patriotbunchoānumbers. Youāre going to do yourself a mischief if you carry on like this.

Thereās this myth worldwide that liberals like open borders. Nobody likes open borders. The discrepancy is over HOW borders are controlled. But you chaps insist on making out that lefties are inviting people in and giving them sweets on arrival. Inventing a narrative isnāt facts.

I think youād make a great ambassador for trade. You say it like it is and youāre not taking shit from any foreigners. In business, Iāve opened many doors by deploying the āsex toys that can harm youā technique. The products just fly out of the door, accompanied by the smell of fear.
Pure victory.

I didnāt realise āHistory: The Directors Cutā was now streaming. Thought it was only in the VHS box set.

Iām just not comfortable with āhe/she probably isā stuff. Itās how we got where we are now where you can say anything because you feel it. We have something in common in that we both think heās shifty as fooook but we weaken our positions with supposition. Facts are all we have left as weapons now.

Whilst it pains me to step in for Farage, he has no history of sexual abuse AFAIK. If anyone opposing him takes a victory lap at some point, it needs to be without prior speculation or gut feelings. Same for anyone of any party IMHO. I donāt like him but that doesnāt mean I can hint at untrue stuff.

Would you consider Jon Stewart to be an equivalent commentator? His podcasts and off air work suggest heās in a similar vein to JOB for me. Sure culturally and stylistically theyāre different but their core beliefs share some space IMHO.

Itās not bad if you get a whisper that itās coming and bet accordingly. Iām amazed at how much the financial markets are ignored in these debates. FMs love a bit of chaos, especially with a heads-up on anything coming. You can rarely prove this trick though. Thatās the beauty if youāre in the game š¤·āāļø

I think the turning point will be when that becomes more Americaās problem than anyone elseās. Thereās going to be short term pain but remember, this is Americaās relationship to rebuild longterm; not Canadaās.

MTG = the Karen of US politics. If you see any value in her contribution to sensible debate then youāre part of the problem. This is someone milking the political system by playing a role. Someone who complains about immigrants but milks more from the state than a homeless person. No vote from me.

It pains me to say it after years of great US memories, even down to opening a division of my wee business there and loving the country and many of its people, but right now, as a UK citizen, Iād rather gouge my eyes out with hot spoons than go to the USA.

This might be interesting though. Saying you can to people who know which way it all could go regardless may not be the win it appears to be. May be that uptake is slow. Itās concerning that oil and gas is being waved at some African countries/other challenged regions. That may prove problematic.

Iād say thatās a pretty broad brush stoke you just made there Tom if Iām honest. Some things deserve to be eeked out and Iād put Severance into that bracket. Worse still is when something evidently SHOULD have a second series to help you comprehend and it gets canned šš¤£

Is it ok to not trust either in varying proportions? History isnāt kind to one or the other.

Poor governance worldwide now has people thinking theyāre being ripped off all the time and canāt see an expense hurtling down the highway. Trying to get folk to understand that CC is going to be expensive for them just doesnāt land. Itās like Brexit all over again for us over here. No tellinā āem š¤·āāļø
