I'd never looked closely before at pictures of Elon Musk, but the one shown here gave me the creeps: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/24/elon-musk-funding-trump-election-boycott-companies Wouldn't take much tweaking to make him ...
Re those 14 layers: I simply don't believe them. I've been recalling my time in the UK civil service. When I joined in 1973, the Permanent Secretary (highest rank) was 8 grades above me, and the lowest grade of Clerical Assistant was only two below. And ...
I wouldn't count on her doing well with women. We knew (and knew of) too many who didn't want Trump, but didn't want a bar of Hillary either, and abstained.
I'm pretty sure there are some, not entirely unconnected with the present government, who'd rather you didn't know that stuff.
Wei off the beam.
Worth noting that the average German back then was a lot better educated than their US equivalent now. And they still swallowed the nonsense.
My Trump-supporting NAct-voting-and-fundraising SIL emailed yesterday tearing a strip off Arvida for the staff cuts, "old people are entitled to proper support", etc, etc. Felt like zapping back "well those tax cuts won't pay for themselves, will they" and...
Gender identification.
Welcome to the site, Caitlin (and Karolyn). We need more women on here, and hope you'll stick around. If a straight cis-male (and pensionable age at that) can have an opinion, I'd say it's pointless trying to generalise about these matters in today's hyper...
"K 77" did die at 77 years of age, but not in office. He was hoofed out by "B 75" at just turned 70. Even then he was past it.
Note that bit about the "symbolic" ear bandages. Not too improbable a step from there to actually shooting off a portion of your ear in cultish solidarity .... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/18/near-death-experience-donald-trump...
It's a fine way of making policy and reaching decisions that are not time-critical, and mostly I'm wholly in favour of it. But in a crisis, you often can't afford all that faffing around. Sometimes the leadership has to have "somewhat of monarchical in it...
The waka-jumping legislation was not drafted with this sort of situation in mind; it was to discourage members from quitting their parties over policy disagreements. This case is something on another level altogether. There might not have been anything ...
M&A = Mergers & Acquisitions? Or some other variety of alphabet soup? (There seem to be several.)
Absolutely. Trump was just the distraction, while the real villains were taking care of business out of sight. But they mightn't need to hide for very much longer.
Well this Green supporter (not a member) does! Tana out - now. And I want them to be a lot more careful over candidate selection in future.
Well what does one usually find in Da Bog*? That's right ... * Dairy And Business Owners Group
NZ please copy, before it's too late. These things should have been strictly regulated years ago. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/11/crossbow-laws-reviewed-dan-jarvis-bushey-women-killed
Well, can't have potential buyers of CC-vulnerable coastal properties knowing too much about the risks, eh? Not till you-know-who-and-their-mates have had time to flog all theirs off at "decent" prices, anyway.
DEFINITELY time for crossbows to be classed as firearms (if they aren't already) and subjected to the same sort of stringent licensing. ttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2024/jul/10/bushey-murder-investigation-police-search-kyle-clifford-manhunt-...
Russia has never really known civilisation in its fullest sense. As the world seems to be evolving now, it most likely never will. (Discuss.)
One can understand reluctance on the part of the Green Party to invoke a law which they themselves in the past have stated their opposition to. But this situation is a whole different matter from having someone quit the party in a huff over a disagreement ...
"There is nothing material the UK can do about Israel. " Absolutely. Why should they concern themselves with it in any way, beyond offering succour to the wounded and impoverished on both sides? Let the antagonists sort it out for themselves. They've more ...
In idle moments I've found myself wondering if the UK Labour party might conceivably "do a Livingstone" once elected*. They won't, though. Sir Keir has been too careful and thorough in his purge of extremists. * Ken Livingstone was leader of an extremist ...
I guess we all wait now for the second TV debate (is it still on?) .... And although Kamala Harris could undoubtedly be a competent president - and I'd vote for her without hesitation - she'd be a f****g disastrous choice as a candidate.
"The only hope is demographic change with millions of eligible younger potential voters coming on stream .... " That's making the rather large assumption that there'll be a candidate allowed to run and for whom they can vote (if indeed they're still ...
Follow the money power. Turncoats.
But hasn't the England & Wales Green party been captured by GC ideologues?
Meet the new boomer; same as the old boomer (eventually).
"Free market" here too often means owners based overseas, where all the profits end up ... until things go sour - at which time those same owners demand government bail-outs.
Not a word about transport links, as far as I was able to see. With what looks like little or no car-parking space, that's going to be crucial.
