if we were born in at any other time we would be sent off to die in war

what i dont like about the police in america is that they treat very minor crimes very seriously

where as the police here would probably just leave you alone and give you a verbal warning

Where in the U.K. @Phil are you from?

@AdamS london currently but from manchester

Sweet. Same

Red part or Manchester Blue? Makes a big difference lol

Currently, the global situation is fragile and the past not far enough in the past for anyone to think "it can't/won't happen to us." When people are still alive today who lived through the most inhumane/evil/horrific of times, we are only one generation removed...not long enough in the past for culture to have completely transfomed and the ideology of the elites is still alive and well (the same ideology that causes such horrors) and those ideals, I've found, come from the left.

Will there be a show (R&R) this evening? @Maw

I think Rob will return on Monday. Conference.

Our police problems is a symptom of a much larger one. Honestly, IMO it comes down to politicians creating poor violent people that grow up and live in unstable environments, in which they’re preyed upon by the system for blue votes.

Aw, right when this whole thing is getting good.

Frankly there are politicians who benefit from constituents being poor, violent criminals.

@inwa i dont think these people are really left, in the same way i dont think trump is right wing. they are just political elites

lol right.

@inwa look how wealthy Harris is, and biden is multimillionaire, sanders too. but somehow they care so deeply for everyone else. if they did they would be a nurse in a hospital

I’m on board with this opinion somewhat...I’m still exploring American politics...I’ve learnt a lot about America in the last 2 years....despite my cousins being American and me visiting America all me life.

Phil, American left is no where like our left...American liberals made me question liberalism lol

It’s the one interpretation that is most in alignment with what our legislators actually legislate.

It also takes into account alignment of incentive

liberalism for me is from locke, i.e. dont touch my stuff if i make it but anything else goes

Bingo! And it's funny how the same people involved in Iran Contra, using it for defamation of a Republican President had the audacity to say "we did it black folks...thanks for your vote (even though I caused the crack epidemic and placed you in jail for life while making $ off the import sales)...it is deeply disturbing and you just want to shake people and say look! It's textbook sociopath and running the entire country if not the world

look at trump for example, he is a classic liberal

Hahahaha

Biden wrote the 1994 crime bill & Harris was happy to enforce it on the ground...nothing has changed.

@Zuluzeit Zulu good day!

hes no conservative

They absolutely don't care but they need to at least be careful of damaging policy...there still is the illusion of fair elections but this cycle is a very bold move to alert the American people that even our vote/voice doesn't matter...we are embarking on very dangerous territory

I’ve never thought of trump as a classical liberal but I suppose there actually is a case to be made.

@Phil Tax rewards for wealthy, deregulation and gutting agencies. What am I missing?

Trumps more of a Mussolini

We're up to 83 repealed EPA regulations. Introduced precisely 0.

Trump has been successful in several different areas. Being successfull in several different areas is not easy and usually these types of people are very creative. creative people are not conservative!

Trillions out of the budget as tax rewards with no covenants to reinvest in the U.S.

Highest spending ever.

All public record.

Don't even try it.

Our Democrats are really Republicans. Or they're neoliberals is more like it. Biden is pure red blood yet hollers like an ass without actually doing anything remotely "liberal". These are the Tony Blair types...the Fabians...totally terrifying how sisnister. Unless I am wrong. Was Tony Blair great?

@Zuluzeit yes, highest spending ever, which would tend to not be associated with someone who is very conservative

Explicitly, repeatedly nationalist agenda. Please. Just please
