I struggle to grasp the dichotomy. 

Which part of my musings are you having trouble with ?.

 

What's the phrase multiple lines of thought or something along those lines.

I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding the phrase. 

I think that, and I mean this with respect, that you maybe haven't considered the bigger picture when looking at geopolitical things. It is a big picture and what is sold to us isn't what is delivered. If that comes across as patronising, that truly is not my intention.
If you have considered things and then still form the same opinion, I disagree with you, and I hope a trans-athlete pokes your eye out with her cock.

Gareth (that was sarcasm mate) I don't think trans athletes should compete in male/female events, as I think it's unfair. We should race as one and I will win as I'm the Alpha!.

I was referring to having multiple but simultaneously differing and opposing ideas.

 

Geopolitically I view things through a variety of viewpoints. A world devoid of religion isn't going to be peace and harmony, nor is replacing it with music like bill & ted.

 

However the thought of new 2 bed semis having a priest hole would be bloody hilarious on these BBC homes under the hammer.

 

I had presumed it was sarcasm.

Just hoping I don't have to swallow anything else from her cock getting poked in my eye!.

US Supreme Court halts deportation of Venezuelans under wartime law

The accused gang members are being sent to a notorious jail in El Salvador under a 19th-Century law.

It seems that SCOTUS is a bit annoyed with POTUS.

Them as well? He is annoying a few folk isn't he (yesterday, forgot to post, a big demonstration in New York against his leadership)

Got to make the most of your wins when they happen, I suppose 😜

 

So does it mean the Venezuelan gangsters will have to be imprisoned in the US instead? 

[Steven P]

If that is where they committed their crimes then yes.

 

By way of examples:

If for example I got convicted of a crime in say, Brazil - believing the TV the jail time is not so nice as it is in the UK, should I be returned to the UK, closer to home, closer to family, to a cell that is designed for 2, houses 2

(and not 8 in a 2 bed cell )  - should I be returned to the UK for a cushy jail time? Or should I suffer they same as any locals convicted of the same? 

How about if I accidentally flew into Bangkok with 1kg of class A drugs - mandatory death sentence - but as a UK citizen should I be returned home and not face their justice where as everyone else doesn't ?

Or of they flew into the UK with the same should we send them to Bangkok to meet their justice?

 

So if the crime is committed in the country, then yes, the punishment should be taken in that country and not be sent away where justice, punishment and tariffs for crimes don't match the host countries morals.

Can't remember last US president where there were protests on the streets like Trumpy is getting... especially after only 3 months in the job

... and so on one of the most important weekends of the Christian calendar, Jesus dies, comes back to life, basis of all blind faith stuff, JD Vance pops over to the Vatican - HQ of a lot of the Christian types - for talks on immigration to the US.

 

Just thinking how 'blind faith' escaped him and perhaps 'blind' is more apt where I reckon a lot of the priests he met might just have other things on, quite a busy weekend at the end of quite a busy week. Over Vance pops, oblivious to culture and apparently his own faiths calendar. Or just having a pleasant Easter Weekend and trying to make the tax payer pick up the bill. Cultural wasteland in his brain.
