US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Brown bread toast?

Trump having a breakdown

He’s literally just making up anything he can think of to deflect from his crimes

This regime needs to end ASAP

It’s a total humiliation for the US

He needs to die to in jail

He should have been there years ago

Russia has inflicted utter chaos and humiliation on the US without firing a shot against it by manouevering an openly fascist Russian asset into the White House

The total and utter ludicrousness of this situation, and the evil of Trump himself - and there’s no other word for it - has gone way, way beyond what people joked might happen

And Boris thinks he’s getting a deal :joy:

Imagine walking into someone else’s apartment, killing them and then claiming innocence because you were ‘tired’. And then getting 5 years with good conduct for a supposed ‘murder’ charge. What a country.

The prosecution sought a sentence of 28 years, the jury decided on 10 years, so your issue is with the jury. Put yourself on the jury, what do you think the sentencing for second degree murder should be?

Why did you post that shite about the brother hugging the murderer? Nothing but the cracker media doing its best to make its cracker audience not feel bad about a white woman murdering a black man.

Because it shows that some people are decent humans.

You were on here cheering when a cop got killed recently, you Cork scumbag.

The victim’s brother seems a very admirable person and his compassion seems very genuine

But his genuine compassion is misplaced - the murderer is going to appeal her conviction - where’s the remorse there - and his reaction just plays into the hands of those who want to systematically downplay the crimes of whites, while simultaneously systematically vilifying blacks and justifying the disgraceful mass incarceration of them - even though that is not his intention - but is the reality

To answer the following point, what whites find compelling about the victim’s brother’s reaction is that it gives them a handy narrative to downplay a horrifying racist murder by a white person which should have resulted in decades in prison

How 21st century fascists are allowed win

“Those are my principles, if you don’t like them, I have others.”

Bigotry and bigoted disinformation is an integral part of the social media business model

It drives traffic to a massive extent

Social media companies are 0% serious about tackling it

Very old news pal.

It’s very old news that far too many people point blank refuse to believe, preferring to believe their own crazy conspiracy theories

The problem is it continues to get worse and has spread to RTE, BBC etc.

See Fergal Keane last week, see CNN platforming neo-Nazis and soft soaping them

The Republicans have spent the last two weeks denying Trump asked foreign governments to launch investigations against Biden

And then he straight up does it on the lawn of the White House

Ukraine, China

We are through the looking glass

@anon7035031, you’d be fairly representative of the centre of the US voting population. Surely this is a bit nuts? When he first said he would accept foreign help in elections from the Russians it was a big scandal. Now he’s openly calling for it from the front lawn of the White House. This will have some effect on the American floating voter?

He’s dragging himself into a very damaging punch-out with Biden but Biden won’t even be the challenger.

Read this sentence back

Then read this back

Then join the dots

It isn’t hard to understand
