I was saying Russia collusion was a hoax for 7 years before anybody would believe me. Sometimes you've just got to keep at it

Some of us still don’t believe you.

The brainwashed ones certainly don't

Re: The Donald Trump thread

This conversation seems to suggest that after a month in power, some people still thinks Trump is the man for the job, which I find incredulous.

I think it’s the brainwashed ones that do.

Granted it was decided on balance there was insufficient evidence (although a lot of evidence) to follow through on the technical/legal charge of collusion.

But a mass of evidence (and a clutch of successful prosecutions) showed the extent to Trump-Putin collaboration.

Take the common usage (not the narrow legal definition of collusion) and there is clear and repeated co-operation, sharing of information and strategies, shared interests, co-ordination of attacks on the back of data theft, and use of supposed third party hacking outfits like the St Petersburg troll farms owned and directed by Putin allies to promote a Trump victory.

At least you claim to be off the fence on this one. Your 7 year campaign to spray perfume on Trump may be in error and a perversion of the truth - but no splinters for you, so maybe some good came of it?

DOGE is cleaning up millions of dollars in fraudulent expenditure, 99.9 % of the fraud has been by the Radical left, there will be Republicans exposed as well. CCMB?, it's ok because the Trump administration must have done it as well. TDS is alive and kicking Yuge on CCMB. FWIW, Farage is being lined up as our next PM and it'll not be down to votes counted in the polling stations, it's already decided by those who pull the levers of power, when will we see Farage proposing the UK equivalent of DOGE?. The illusion of choice continues with the intended division of society to be continued.

STARMER OUT !!!!!!

Is that the opening crawl that rolls up the screen in the first (1977) Star Wars film?

I'm not buying Farage as A New Hope, that's a bridge too far, it'll be a song remains the same, its been decided on Tatooine the emperor has spoken.

CNN

Surely you must think that Fox News is just as biased and therefore just as bad?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Nearly a million people have been scammed by way of a rug pull from Trump’s crypto currency.

https://fortune.com/2025/02/11/trump-memecoin-traders-2-billion-dollar-loss-family-100-million-fees/

800,000+ people have lost more than $2Bn after the value has fallen from ~$75 to ~$15 in just a few weeks. An average of $2,500 each.

Crypto scams with meme coins are ridiculously commonplace these days, there’s no shortage of influencers and celebrities trying to cash in. Rug pulls, pump and dumps (technical terms, not sexual ones I promise) see millions of people losing money… but see a very small few gain lots and lots of it.

For example, the Trump coin has generated about $100 million in trading fees owed to the entities behind the coin, including the Trump Organization.

As a sympathetic man who cares about his base, Trump must be aghast at the thought that hundreds and thousands of his voters are losing up to a month’s salary, if not more, on his coin.

Hawk Tuah girl went quiet after shafting people via crypto. It would be nice if Trump decides to do the same.

Maybe that silly dolt from Newport can give them some tips on how to deal with losing a crypto fortune.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Why wasn't this press conference more widely reported over here? However, if the Trump Administration's answer to the drone situation is anything to go by, I won't hold out much hope for this.
