I'm old enough to remember the media melt down when biden fumbled the TV debate.

 

Now it's like, yeah, this is fine.

 

BBC just described Trump at the press conference as being in an "enigmatic and expansive mood" 

 

I mean yes, yes I suppose he is.

He is scarily similar to my deranged MIL

She's deeply mentally unwell and rambles incoherently for hours on end, lurching from one unrelated topic to the next. A non stop stream of consciousness 

I will never understand how any sane voter thought Kamala was worse than this

Oh, did he just say  ISIS is mostly composed of Hispanic people?

But, no, he said that about ICE - can't say if that is any more accurate than your suggestion though.. 🤣

It's true. For obvious reasons, border patrol/ICE traditionally were mostly deployed on the US/Mexican border, and the most useful language to speak was Spanish. As the US is only slightly better than the UK at teaching modern languages, the vast majority of Spanish speaking potential recruits were people that grew up speaking Spanish at home ie Hispanic people (or, if you're an NPR liberal, Latin@ folx).

ICE  is not majority latino, its about 30% (or was a few years ago)

https://psmag.com/social-justice/what-latinx-ice-and-border-patrol-agents-say-about-arresting-immigrants

but theyve been on a huge recruitment drive lately and theyve been specifically targeting just the kind of racists youd expect

https://observer.co.uk/news/international/article/the-toxic-anger-fuelling-ices-online-recruitment-drive

 

i suspect they'll be attracting a similar demographic to those outside immigrants hotels here

Yep it’s an odd one putting someone in the whitehouse as opposed to the carehome.

I expect they don’t actually really listen to him and just listen to the curated soundbites.

Its odd how people seem happy with it the more you listen to him the more you realise he’s a total loon.

Its the Emperors New Clothes and they’ve got another 3 years.

A good piece in this mornings Guardian, stating the increasingly obvious.

Looks like the penny might finally be dropping with various world leaders that the US under this lunatic is most definitely not their friend. Quite the opposite.

Unfortunately it looks like Downing Street is the last to the party on that one and given our post-Brexit status, the most badly-equipped to do anything about it.

Putin must be laughing his tits off!

It’s of some comfort that these arses will discover that they will never collect their 50k signing on bonus, and that instead Uncle Sam will be chasing them to return any money they did receive (unless they complete 5 years good service - which seems unlikely).

But this is unlikely to be a good thing – he'll just start dreaming up some mad idea of a persecution complex against him and the USA, and things will slide even further into the abyss.

  • I think it would be a good thing. He rose to power by not being challenged enough by the media. There seemed a more "sycophantic" atmosphere at his last press conference even if no one took him to task. Even some Fox news folk are staeting to call out the MAGA lies and making his supporters look and sound stupid.ķ

The most dangerous time to be around a bully is when you’ve just realised that they’re a bully and that you need to do something about it. The idea that you just punch them back and then they slink off, chastened, is unfortunately not true. Most bullies, when confronted, will up the ante.

We are not talking about a lone victim here, all the victims are now aware and need to group together to resist the insanity of mad king Donald. No more splitting ranks (Starmer) thinking you can be the bullies friend and sidekick to avoid his spite, no more ass kissing hoping he punches someone else instead of you, because he will get round to everyone in time and the only way forward is to stand united against everything he stands for.

Well Grandpa Simpson is due to address Davos at 2.30, so presumably he'll turn up at 5.30  then ramble aimlessly on until midnight?

I was watching last nights insane gibbering and trying to place who he reminded me of, then it came to me....

Just watching , and watched last night, and he is sounding more and more like a deranged dictator 

 

Controlling boarders , press, rigged elections, making up chargers against US citizens who dare to stand up to him. Increase in military action

 

Either it ends in dictatorship, civil war, or hopefully him being taken out on health grounds, or someone actually does something useful with all the guns in the US

I think he was referring to the (small) additional forces European countries deployed to Iceland (as part of NATO operations), and blaming the drop in stock prices on that (they are because of the threat of tariffs he announced).

Well, there you go… because of the concessions he has got out of other countries as regards drugs using the threat of tariffs, he thinks he can use the same methods to take ownership of a country. Stand firm or he’ll take more.

They are worried about reselection for midterms - Trump has already favoured new candidates over incumbents who have voiced concern or shown any sign of deviation from the Trumpian line.  There are a handful who aren't standing for re-election who are voicing concerns
