The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

Why are the 2nd Amendment blowhards not stepping up and drawing weapons on unidentified individuals kidnapping people in the States? From across the pond, I thought this was why they needed the guns to stop the government falling out of check? Or is it ok if the government is targeting brown folk?

From across the pond I am wondering why all these 2nd ammendment advocates aren't stepping up to confront a government put of control with their military grade weapons. Maybe they just want guns for other reasons and are as rancid as those in power?

If I were able to deliver a message to either of these guys, my message would be this: "You're going to let that other guy treat you like this? Make a public fool of you? After all you did for him? I thought you were a big shot. Act like a man!" That's should settle things down.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

All that money, large amounts of adulation from people who can't (or choose not to) see his flaws, the power of a second term as US President, but still a shallow and bitter individual. Eaten alive by the lack of praise from individuals who spoke well of Obama and Biden (to a lesser degree).

Laurence Fox is having a meltdown on the other place at being prosecuted for breaking the law. Turns out he's being charged for trying to save the country from foreigners causing murder, grooming, rape, gender ideology (delete as appropriate). Not for being a wrong-un publishing an up-skirt pic. 🙄

America under Trump can't be relied on as an ally. No matter what the challenges, the UK should make adjustments to its future lomg term security and trading partnerships imminently Doubtless there will be uncomfortable consequences, but long term, this is the only way forward. We need trust.

Seems the new standard for being called a traitor in this Age of American Misrule is to fly more than three dozen combat missions in Iraq for the U.S. Navy, then command the Space Shuttle as a U.S. Astronaut, then serve in the U.S. Senate, and remember that Russia attacked its neighbor, Ukraine.

Explain to me why so many Americans pay attention to what Elon has to say? Here he is calling a former NASA astronaut and current serving senator a traitor. What a piece of shit.

If DOGE had uncovered fraud why aren't there any charges and prosecutions being announced? Surely that would reassure the public that it wasn't just vindictive incompetence breaking everything?

Seems to me that if you work in America and balls up your work, you could just tell your employer you're playing 4D chess and you'll get a pass. Just like Trump seems to be getting from so many people.

But tell me he's not siding with Russia, wants free speach/press and isn't a risk to our country and any that considered the US an ally against Putin.

So after complaining repeatedly (and falsely) that foreign countries have been sending their prisoners and criminals to the US, Donald Trump applies pressure to have 2 men charged with rape and trafficking in a foreign country and wanted for questioning in another sent to the US. Is that right?

Grant @type1grant.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

An awful lot of Americans are starting to experience this, with more to follow as buyer's remorse starts to increase. That vote for Trump or not voting as 'it wouldn't matter' not seeming so smart now.

No surprise to anyone with even average intelligence. If they'd found evidence of actual fraud there'd be charges drawn up and public hearings being planned. This was always about claiming things that weren't evidenced to give credibility to the damage they are doing. Trump needs to own it.

There isn’t published evidence that America has spent 350 billion. Official papers suggest around half of that, much of which was spent in America not Ukraine. Europe says it has spent more. Zelenskyy polls lower than he did two years ago but still high and higher than Trump in America.

Dipped my toe in the other place today. They're not a happy bunch since many of us left. In fact, they've become more angry and deluded as there's zero filter to the absurdity and bile they spew. People really have openly revealed the worst of themselves publicly, and the number of them is huge.

Amazing the amount of financial fraud being found by unqualified individuals. The outsiders tasked with this action aren't forensic accountants etc, to increase the impartiality they work for Elon who has multiple high value contracts with the government. Definitely above board and not questionable

Grant @type1grant.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

I really don't want to hear anyone trying to defend the 2nd Amendment of the consituation after the next mass shooting in the US, given how silent they've been over the disregard and of the constitution by Trump/Elon and their spineless members of Congress and no criticism from the client media.

000

Grant @type1grant.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

It's apparent (and has been forever) that Trump is a deranged danger, but more ire should be directed at the gutless Republicans who support his actions (either vocally or in their silence) normalising the bonfire lit underneath the constitution and the irreparable damage this will cause to the US.

Admits that the plans will likely cause pain, no indication how long the pain will last, but enduring the pain will be worth it, though unclear if everyone will have to endure the pain. Anyone disagreeing or pointing out concerns should be ignored to deliver a slogan. America has its own Brexit.

From across the pond I really struggle with how the 2nd ammendment is so vigorously defended by some as if any adjustment to the constitution threatens the existence of America, while claiming changing other ammendments (14th and 22nd currently proposed) will strengthen America. Make it make sense.

Grant @type1grant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Be interesting how Farage tries to explain how Trump can be a great ally of the UK and he could secure a beneficial deal given Trumps statement that to avoid tarrifs firms should move to the US. We may not be a manufacturing powerhouse, but how's that good for the UK as a whole?

Grant @type1grant.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I've found here that people are open to hearing and considering uncomfortable truths. Many on the other place don't want that. They want to be told what supports their fears and prejudices, that makes them feel they are right. Will be difficult to grow this place to compete with that mindset.

Just take a moment to imagine the reaction to Barack Obama pardoning 1,500 black people, involved in a riot, which led to five police officers dying, calling them "heroes" & "hostages".
