No one talking about the fact this THICK CUNT we took the piss out of a while back is favourite to become next PM?
How utterly depressing and embarrassing that she is even a politician. Just staggering in the most dreadful way that she is even remotely considered to be PM, yet alone a favourite

What a disgusting, racist, horrible man.

What a dangerous dreadful and stupid man. Another American conservative who loves to sprout about America's history as being great despite so many atrocities. His nation's history used to keep slaves and burn woman alive for being so called witches. Why so many religious Americans hold on to their outdated and cruel history as some kind of beacon of truth and goodness is obscene.

FUCK HIM.
Exactly.

It's "funny" how the right always says if you vote for the lefty communists we're all going to become Cuba and Venezuela, ruin the economy, lose our right to vote and free elections.
Yet, they are the only ones doing exactly that
Exactly. I know some once "left voting" people who have turned into right wing conspiracy theorists as well. If people can't learn from history and keep supporting ultra right wing politicians, they will end up in a truly fascist country before they know it.

It is code red now.
The Supreme Court is going to ensure Republican control of the country in perpetuity when they decide next year on the North Carolina gerrymandering case (they indicated today that they will take up this case in their next session).
Given recent SC rulings that are completely untethered from the law, the court is likely to decide that only State Legislatures have any say in how elections are run and that State Courts, the Voting Rights Act and independent redistricting commissions etc cannot overrule legislative decisions on how voting districts are decided, how elections are run, who can vote, how votes are counted, and how Electoral College votes are determined.
With Republicans controlling both houses of legislatures in 30 states right now and with impossible to overcome state legislative gerrymanders in many of them already, they will be able control the outcome of federal elections with the SC's blessing......
Unless Manchin and Sinema agree to vote to remove the filibuster at least for the VRA before November elections (and also for some version of Roe), it is game over.
Manchin and Sinema are terrible people. They might as well be Republicans as are letting them gain more power. They don't share any progressive ideology at all.
Still shocked at how apathetic so many seem to be about the Roe vs Wade decision. It is only the beginning and if the ultra right get back in the next election, America will be well on the way to being a truly fascist country. For a country that has always prided itself on it's democracy, this is staggering. Hoping that American Republicans wake up before it's too late as this will also set precedents for other countries too. Contraception bans, gay marriage bans and making being gay illegal could be on the cards as some are already talking about it.

There is absolutely a level of despondency and frustration with the entire progressive movement here in the U.S. And I'm included in that group who is utterly disgusted with liberals, democrats, and progressives in every way.
When did the party of the working class become the party of corporate America? When did the party of unions become the party of social media? When did the party of local government begin to advocate for the defunding of law enforcement? They have done EVERYTHING wrong on nearly every level since Obama left office. He was brilliant at straddling the line with urban and suburban voters while STILL being able to speak to the plights of the working class in rural America. All of that is gone now and they don't have a single leader they'll elevate if they don't use the correct pronouns or stand behind the newest hashtag on Twitter. It's completely mind boggling how they think they can win a majority at anything when they don't SPEAK to the majority as a whole. NYC, LA, Seattle and Chicago ain't gonna win you the majorities in elections and the fact that they can't see that is beyond the pale.
I had the privilege of hosting Gretchen Whitmer (the governor of Michigan) at one of the businesses I do consulting with and she was a complete delight. An old school Democrat who can speak the language of those here in the Midwest. Someone who isn't a geriatric and would PROBABLY have been picked as VP if woke politics didn't interfere to give us Kamala and would've been far more effective since she actually, ya know, had to work to win elections.
Democrats had a reality check in 2016 and they didn't listen. They won with Biden in 2020 because he wasn't Trump. Now they're in dire straights for a multitude of reasons and I don't see course correction from them until they're obliterated in the midterms this year. By that time, it might be too late.....
I am a bit confused by this post. The Republican party at the moment represents the far right, the nutcases and the religious fanatics. Conservative voters who are fair minded should be horrified by the Trump era. This supreme court decision overturn was caused by Trump putting extreme religious fanatics in the Supreme Court.
So why are Democrats getting the blame for this ? If the American people choose to embrace ultra right wing, racist, sexist conspiracy theorists, then it is with the American people themselves.

And it didn’t make major news internationally. Which really says it all.
I know. So sad to say that the first I had heard of this was through reading this thread
This should have been a major news story.
-
Every single person I know - family, friends and colleagues - are so furious about this. It is a huge wake up call to what can happen if fanatical, religious people gain too much power. America is now being seen as the most backward western country on the planet with this ruling by the Supreme Court.
I hope Americans can fight this decision and fight it tooth and nail. American women in many states have lost their rights over their bodies . Trump filling the Supreme Court with the most backward religious candidates has turned America into a somewhat laughing stock around the world. To see today’s American women having less rights than women had 50 years ago is frightening and infuriating

So tragic and heartbreaking in every way.

Apparently Rupert and Jerry Hall are getting divorced. Being reported everywhere but not confirmed yet.

He's great! He was everywhere yesterday destroying all the shit journalists with hard facts. What LABOUR used to be before the centrists captured it.
I have been seeing clips of him on Twitter everywhere and Politics Joe has been featuring him. I love him already. The UK truly need some great, strong opposition type of leaders. I think Tony Blair helped destroy Labour. I watched a recent doco on evil Rupert Murdoch and Blair really become a complete centralist to get elected and get Murdoch's approval. It was a shocking doco to watch. I see exactly what you are saying about the BBC. Our ABC in Australia is getting the same. Hiring too many Fox Murdoch type of presenters to please the right wing. Just appalling.

Well…
I find it so sad that this has received hardly any attention. People getting killed going to a medical centre and the reaction seems to be that there is only 4 victims so not really newsworthy. Heart breaking that this happened and heart breaking that is has hardly even been mentioned.

I’ve watched some news that Facebook should be able to read private messages to avoid this things because the shooter had written about it.
I mean, HOW MANY STUPID IDEAS INSTEAD OF FORBIDDING THE SALES OF GUNS??????
The crazy ideas and so called solutions to gun massacres is really making many American senators look stupid, cowardly and clueless. Every other country in the world has mental health issues, violent video games and violent tv shows and movies shown. Yet, only in America do these gun massacres occur over and over. Just having proper background checks and banning powerful assault weapons would be a start but won't even pass the Senate.

Bumping this thread to yet again highlight how revolting, stupid and cowardly this excuse for a man is. How on earth can anyone support or vote for him ? He cares more about guns than children. He disgusts me.
Ted Cruz angrily quits interview after being confronted about gun control
The Texas Republican senator Ted Cruz confronted a British reporter and angrily left an interview after he was asked why school shootings like that in Uvalde, where 19 children and two adults were killed, happen so often in the US.
“I’m sorry you think American exceptionalism is awful,” Cruz said. “You’ve got your political agenda. God love you.”
On Thursday, the news site Axios published a list of the leading recipients of gun lobby donations in the current Congress.
Cruz was clear at the top, with $442,000 donated to campaign organisations or political action committees.
Axios noted: “The figures are much higher if you count indirect contributions, like the NRA’s purchase of attack ads against opponents.”
On Tuesday morning in Uvalde, an 18-year-old shot his grandmother then entered Robb elementary school and barricaded himself in a classroom.
After about 40 minutes, during which parents implored police to charge and tackle the gunman, the assailant was killed by a Swat team.
On Wednesday Cruz spoke to Mark Stone, US correspondent for Sky News, at a vigil in Uvalde.
“There are 19 sets of parents who are never gonna get to kiss their child goodnight,” Cruz said.
Stone asked: “Is this the moment to reform gun laws?”
Cruz said: “You know, it’s easy to go to politics.”
“But it’s important,” Stone said. “It’s at the heart of the issue.”
“I get that that’s where the media likes to go,” Cruz said.
Stone said many people at the vigil wanted gun reform. National polling consistently shows large majorities in support of such reform.
Cruz said reform proposals came from “Democrats and the media, inevitably, when some violent psychopath murders people”.
Stone pointed out that the 18-year-old gunman in Uvalde was a “violent psychopath who’s able to get a weapon so easily … two AR-15” assault rifles.
Cruz said: “If you want to stop violent crime, the proposals the Democrats have, none of them would have stopped this.”
Stone said: “Many people around the world just cannot fathom, ‘Why only in America? Why is this American exceptionalism so awful?’”
Cruz said: “You know, I’m sorry you think American exceptionalism is awful.”
Stone said he thought “this aspect of it” was awful.
“You’ve got your political agenda,” Cruz said, putting his hands on the reporter’s shoulders, saying “God love you” and walking away.
Stone and another reporter pursued, asking, “I just want to understand why you do not think that guns are the problem in America” and “Why is America the only country that makes this kind of mass shooting?”
Stone said: “You can’t answer that, can you, sir?”
Cruz turned. Leaning close to the reporter and jabbing his finger, he said: “Why is it that people come from all over the world to America? Because it’s the freest, most prosperous, safest country on earth.
“And save me the propaganda.”

The Senate is basically Republican controlled with fake Democrat Manchin. They refuse to vote in favor of nearly every single thing from him and Democrats. They’re worse than they were during the Obama years.
They are disgusting. Heartless too.

Nothing will ever change in America sadly. Just watching the news tonight and seeing politicians from Texas all saying they won't consider watering down gun laws. They have no intention of ever taking away the rights of " law abiding innocent gun owners " as they call it. They would much rather live with innocent children getting murdered on mass at their schools, then deny someone their right to own a high powered gun that can kill many so quickly. I don't know how they can live with themselves or how they have so many supporters. The NRA love guns more than people.
Sick of hearing that chestnut again that "Guns don't kill, people do" that the NRA trot out all the time. Do they ever really stop to think that in every other country in the world, there are none of these consistent gun massacres. Only in the USA. Only in the one country where it is so easy to buy high powered guns. It is so obvious to everyone else in every other country in the world. Counties that did have a massive gun massacre, quickly changed the laws. America has so many including in schools, churches, cinemas, supermarkets and workplaces yet nothing ever changes. Feel so sorry for the American people that despair and do want change.

This man is a disgusting, sexist pig. Unfortunately, too many worldwide have the same thoughts that are in power. So infuriating in every way.
