Cheers for the update. Good to hear how all these developing countries around the world are doing.

Anyone got the the shipping forecast?



 
 
 
I do, there’s a US Armada off the coast of Iran about to free the poor oppressed Persian people of 50 years
of agony.

Don’t worry though Starmer will soon announce Sharia law in the UK and you can all find out first hand what all the fuss is about.

going around in circles at this point, as others have said why were assault rifles taken to previous protests? I think all guns should be banned, what do you think?
 
Yet again avoid the point at all costs.

Why did he feel the need to take a pistol to a peaceful protest?

And but MAGA did it isn't an answer.

As for guns, they are nothing more than inanimate objects incapable of causing harm without input from an operator, I could list many everyday objects that also fit that description.

If someone means to do harm they'll find away whether guns are available or not. 

Banning them doesn't get rid of them as they quite ubiquitous even where banned, and fairly simple to improvise.

You say you "think all guns should be banned" but you that's probably not true because I doubt you've ever actually thought about it you've just been conditioned to accept it as fact.







 
contradiction then isnt it, didn't matter if he took a gun or a spoon, fairly simply to improvise 
You do strike me as someone with the brains to bring a spoon to a gun fight.

But no, taking a spoon isn't remotely comparable. 

Again though, why did he feel the need to take a modified sidearm to a peaceful protest? 

It's not a trick question.

This typifies just how incompetent these Dems are.

The victims of the big fires that burned down Altadena and Pacific Palisades, (two extremely beautiful and wealthy areas in Los Angeles) are still waiting on building permits more than a year after the fires.

Governor Gavin Newsome who has his eye on running for President in 2028 has been absolutely horrific in this disaster. 

So Trump announced that he is taking over and will provide immediate building permits and offer a 10% square footage bonus for those that want it. The increase in Sq Footage adds value for those that don’t know. Without Trump getting involved who knows how long these people will wait.

Truly shocking Governance. It really is beyond belief just how bad Newsome is.
Also the Feds are about to investigate fraud in the state too as Billions have disappeared for a speed rail project linking so cal to Nor cal, Billions have gone missing for the Homeless too. Don’t be surprised if the missing Billions were filtered through NGO’s. It’s becoming glaringly obvious that the NGO scam is the playbook they all use to rip off the tax payer.

What whataboutery is about is that it's about what something else is about. 🤨
I don't think I've said anything controversial in that anyone they brings guns to a protest is asking for it, what I will say is that guy that got shot hadn't drawn it, and seemed to be executed a lot quicker than people bring rifles on full display on previous protests

I think Bill Hick's may have spoken the defining words on matters such as this when he very eloquently said; "He's an idiot. He's dead. Good! We lost a moron? Fucking celebrate. There's one less moron in the World".
I don't think Hicks would have been on your side of the argument in this case.

What you will find is Anon and the other libs on here can only post messages of criticism of Trump but have very little else to offer on any debate about anything. Probably because all the Libs have very little to offer by way of policy that make sense.
It's almost like a mental illness or syndrome that manifests as a kind of derangement in relation to a specific person.

Weird.

Was the protest at Capitol Hill Peaceful or an incitement to violence then? plenty of guns on display there
Well if we ever get to the bottom of that one and find out what Ray Epps and the hundreds of FBI assest were really up to I'll let you know.

Attention should be drawn to Nurse's post at 15.09.

Under Obama, 51 civilians died at the hands of ICE agents. These same agents received nothing but applause from the left wing media/establishment.

Obama deported more than 8 million people during his two terms.

Obama pinned a madal on Tom Homan, the Trump appointed border czar. Homan is now seen as a menace to the public.

So much of the recent unrest In Minneapolis is a result of who is in the White House.
