I remember him being pretty damned strong, oozing compassion and leadership after 9/11. That was before he discovered psychedelics, obvs.

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 he could have run for President of the World and been elected. Rarely has anyone fallen so far; you do wonder if he's ill.

Absolutely - though thankfully even though tremendous damage has been done over the last few years thanks to the above two mentioned ballbags & assorted sundries, it looks like that bar a disaster Starmer will become PM within the next 13 months with at least a decent working majority (fingers crossed) with an implication to those outside Britain that the adults have finally taken charge back at Westminster.

Unfortunately in the US, the blithering orange shitgibbon does still appear to have some sort of chance of regaining the presidency right now - and that should scare a lot of people both inside and outside the US. And while I can appreciate that at least some elements of the judiciary are treading very carefully over Tr*mp's legal cases right now to ensure that there's no effective ammunition for him to appeal on, there's also an element that the longer he keeps getting treated with special kid gloves that anyone else would have been sent to remand for blatant contempt of court, the longer it appears that at federal level the US government is in danger of becoming a failed state.

If there’s one country where the concept of separation of powers restraining executive overreach is fed with mothers’ milk it’s the American republic. That may have been a fantasy for those on the wrong of corrupt racist administrations but it’s still the ideal civil rights activists aspired to. And that may lay at the heart of the current malaise that has unfurled in the GOP in the past 50 years. Jefferson and Washington weren’t writing the constitution for the likes of them.

There is quite an interesting argument being put forward that since Trump has consistently maintained that he actually won the 2020 presidential election, he is therefore rendered ineligible to stand again for election under the 22nd amendment, which states that no person shall be eligible to be elected to the office of president more than twice.

It’s a bit flimsy, but it holds the potential of Trump being effectively hoist by his own petard, and at the very least could see the supreme court having to make some entertaining decisions as to the meaning of “elected” (elected by the popular vote? elected by a majority of states? elected by the electoral college ? )

Watch this space.

Another legal argument being pursued by Tr*mp is the implication that he cannot be charged over the 6th January due to having "Presidential Immunity" - if that's the case, Biden should arrest Tr*mp's arse & send him to an isolation unit in Guantanamo Bay until at least Biden's term is over.

To try and untangle that thinking, you would have to presume that Biden isn't the actual president in the first place, Tr*mp is - but then you hit the constitutional term limits that Abers mentions etc.

So let's cut to the chase - Tr*mp is a fascist dictator wannabee whom shocked himself when he initially became president. If he succeeds Biden, he won't be so ill prepared this time.

Nikki Haley one of Trump's rivals for the nomination for the Republicans refuses to say slavery was the cause of the civil war.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... ar-slavery

The questioner said they were astonished she did not mention slavery.

“I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. And we will always stand by the fact that I think the government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people,” said Hayley at a town hall event in Berlin, New Hampshire.

“It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do. They don’t need to be a part of your life. They need to make sure that you have freedom.”

The Republican presidential candidate, who served as US ambassador to the UN under the Trump administration, then turned the question back to the man who had asked it.

The unnamed questioner replied that he was not the one running for president and wished instead to know her answer. Haley went into an expanded explanation about the role of government, individual freedom and capitalism.

“In the year 2023, it’s astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word ‘slavery’,” the questioner responded, prompting a retort from Haley.
