Who needs Putin propaganda? If the right get a foothold in Germany and France, the EU is in big trouble - too many countries want more autonomy (particularly with borders and immigration) and with that, hopefully we’ll get back to a common economic community and stick the rest of the lefty nonsense in the bin. 😁 I don't see common standards and decent trading policy that can influence world trade to be lefty nonsense. Its common sense trade that works towards a level playing field, but I know what you mean. Key is to retain democracy. The US with the current supreme Court ruling has just lost it. Authoritarian right wing politics tends to move in that direction. Leave organisations that you cannot control, restrict freedom of speech, control the judiciary. Orban leads and le Penn and Farage follow? I hope not but the play book is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump didn't push it through, or create a new law, he wouldn't have had the authority, even if he was POTUS, which he's not. The law ALREADY existed, all the supreme Court did was clarify what it actually meant , and what powers it gave, the only one saying it allowed a political rival to be killed , was a hysterical dem judge, and even then there are strict conditions. Once again this piece of news gets weaponised, twisted into lies, and used in MSM to turn Trump into a despot, its pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewulf Posted July 3, 2024 Report Share Posted July 3, 2024 1 hour ago, oowee said: 👍 of course it did. 🤣 Lets break this down, you said.. 4 hours ago, oowee said: Trump pushes through presidential imunity law. But he didnt , and cant, a sitting president cant make new laws, and 'push them through' so a presidential nominee who has no powers whatsoever certainly cant, and there are very few countries in the world who do allow this sort of behaviour. So your statement clearly isnt true. Show me one credible website or media outlet that says Trump made this 'new' law. You cant because it didnt happen. The presidential immunity laws are written into the first iterations of the constitution. In its 1867 decision Mississippi v. Johnson, the Supreme Court established that the President is largely beyond the reach of the judiciary by holding that it could not direct President Andrew Johnson in how he exercised his purely executive and political powers.1 The Court stated, it had no jurisdiction . . . to enjoin the President in the performance of his official duties.2 Its clear, and has been made more clear this week , that immunity only comes from acts committed during official duties. This is NOT a get out of jail free card, and DOES NOT give the sitting president 'super powers' to do whatever he/she wants. CNN in its frenzy however would have you believe different.https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/01/politics/presidents-immunity-supreme-court-what-matters/index.html But its own article confirms what my analysis says.

That's total tosh. If Ukraine wants to join NATO it's a matter for Ukraine and NATO. The war is nothing to do with NATO. Trump and Farage are simply Putin apologists. What's in it for the west? Preservation of freedoms and our way of life. Killing UK citizens. Poisoning UK residents with nerve agent. Arson attacks. Attacks on IT networks. Interference in Politics. Its all part of the Putin playback. If Ukraine falls then so does Taiwan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Russia we have a whole industry of bots. The parties may make remarks about each other but much of the electorate is more reserved in its judgement. Many have to be as they continually review voting position moving between parties. Its only those with a dogmatic approach to decision making that are unable to evaluate different propositions. The parties today are not what they were 5 years ago. They are not what they were 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the war is nothing to do with NATO, why are we feeding money , arms and intelligence into it ? I dont see anyone apologising for it, I see people wanting it to stop, to get us out of the mess we have created. 16 minutes ago, oowee said: If Ukraine falls then so does Taiwan.
