I said way before he was elected, he'll get them both together and split the territory, neither can completely win.
Few interesting videos from congress last night.
I definitely cannot think of a politician more coated in teflon than Trump. He ploughs on.

The speech got a 69% national approval rating if CNN are to be believed.Quote:

Now, the phrase “he would say that wouldn’t he” springs to mind, but I reckon there’s probably a lot of truth to it.

It was embarrassing and littered with untruths.Quote:

He also said in his speech that he would withdraw federal funding for any University that allows "illegal" protests. By that, I can only assume he's referring to the Palestine protests that occurred on American university campuses last year.
In the meantime, the DOGE lies continue:

Presumably he means anything that tolerated pro-Hamas sentiments?Quote:

And Pro-Palestine does NOT mean pro-Hamas. Come on, you're better than that.
Where did I say it did?Quote:

JD Vance is definitely over egging his macho nonsense
I think he's hiding a secret
Why do you think 'it probably refers' to that?Quote:

However, you ight inadvertently have got this right. Both main US parties and many college/university administrations (encouraged by lobbyists and funders) decided 15 months ago that any demonstration against the Israeli bloodbath in Gaza (and the West Bank) is by definition anti Semitic and a display of support for Hamas. It isn't, but this is no time for truth to get in the way of low politics.
This is s bit smug even for you Jon!Quote:

Trump is a crude operator but it is worth keeping that in mind.
You don’t know what he is referring to, and maybe he doesn’t either. The link you posted doesn’t provide any help. Trump has not defined ‘illegal’ and his spokesperson refused to elaborate or give any more detail. Smug is in your mirror, James.Quote:

Like his mate Benjamin he has no interest in laws or ethics or norms of behaviour - just what he can make happen to benefit himself, his family, his golf buddies and the funders and lobbyists who helped him to a second term.
Next time TOBW or Dorcus calls him out as a fascist I will have many fewer reasons to argue against. He is already as complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity as Biden. But somehow you have failed to be ‘jumpy’ at all in the face of Trump 2. The new normal?
You'll still be able to wave your Palestine flag Jon, you'll still be able to call him a fascist if your mind changes, chill out!Quote:

I'm not sure using the houses you have won control of is the epitome of fascism that you think it is!
Jumpy? Yes, the world is uncertain, but the last decade or two have been pretty damned shit so I am no more jumpy than what has happened under the last US president!
