when_you're_smiling Posted 20 January Posted 20 January 1 hour ago, Lionator said: For example here, Farage acts as if this was all a massive cover up. But I’m sure it’s UK law that this can’t be reported until the court allows it? So how is it Starmer’s fault? Exactly. It’s basic reporting restrictions you can’t imply guilt until they plead guilty in case it goes before a jury. Farage and the like know this but trot out ignorant nonsense because his gullible followers swallow it without question. 4

Farage and the like know this but trot out ignorant nonsense because his gullible followers swallow it without question. It's sub judice in Parliament and has been a recognised convention for centuries. Farage and the likes of Leeanderthal pretending that Starmer and Hoyle made it up because there frightened of Reform is obvious bullshit to anyone except those thick enough to be hoodwinked by Nine Jobs Nigel, Tiny Tommy Ten Names and Sissy Space X. 2

And they probably get it if Sotomayor retires from the Supreme Court in Trump's term. We just have to hope that she hangs on and there's a Democrat in the White House in 2029.

But yes, there are lots of calls for it and other rulings to be overturned, there have been since Gorsuch and Barrett being confirmed to the Supreme Court, and some of the voices are representatives in Congress.

I think to most Christians they're just weird and cultish. But then we're talking about a nation whose founding ethos involves venerating people "fleeing religious persecution" who probably thought Christmas was popish superstition.

Yeah, that sounds about right. But now they're making that everyone's problem - in the US, and to an extent, the wider world.

I don't think MAGA transfers well from Trump to anyone else and the tariff policy, if carried out, is economic suicide. There's little there that will actually improve the cost of living for blue collar Americans.
leicsmac Posted 20 January Posted 20 January I think it will come down to figureheads rather than policy, to be honest. And that will be the test of Vance and whoever the Dems put up against him.
