That perfectly illustrates his point.

 

The business about lefty students getting radicalised at college/university is a Daily Mail trope I think. Certainly is in my experience. I had zero interest and only very slightly more knowledge of politics at that age. The same for everyone else I saw around me. People are there to drink and other stuff, chase the opposite sex and generally have a good time. Other than that it's just academic learning. Politics doesn't figure at all. It's that old Correlation/Causation conflation again.

If you left uni before say 2008, I would agree.

 

Sadly education became a very indoctrinated environment, a pernicious teaching that the state knows best agenda.

 

Pre 2008, your teacher just taught and outside of that environment they were practically invisible.

Auwwww, did you have to leave twitter and move here because they stopped you smelling your own farts ?.

 

Typical lefty tosh, play dumb and think the world revolves around your echo chamber college debate level politics.

 

The Gretta playbook, shout loud about idealistic waffle whilst doing nothing.

 

Sorry Gareth, despite having polar opposite political views I can normally rely on you to form a sentence and an eloquent argument (even when you are so very, very wrong). You're going down a slippery slope of just firing out insults to the detriment of the threads. Others have done that, and still do that, and don't get my respect for it either.

And to bring things back to topic.

 

Why is Donald/Elon so bad for cutting all the extraneous crazy spending on worthless stuff and a national debt the size of Europe ?.

 

USAID for example, or those millions of dead people still recieving benefits and what 150+ years old!.

 

Clinton sacked 400k people just for reference.

 

It's quite easy to bisect/dissect what he says, you're just use to speech written drivel from Starmers type.

 

They've gurned for weeks about the where to put a full stop and a comma, Donald just adlibs so you get unfiltered somewhat honesty.

going to Mars with taxpayers money, not a waste, but I would of prioritise medical research over space exploration, some types of cancer always kill

Before we get too much back on topic, I've only just got back in, but can I just say that No I didn't have to leave twitter because I have never joined it: I have never twittered in my life. So wrong there. And secondly at my age my guts are so rancid it is not possible to stop smelling my farts: when I free the wind everyone smells my farts: your eyes glaze over, the paint falls off the wall, mice throw themselves on the traps, smoke alarms start sounding all over town.

Priests come to my door just to let me know they are disgusted with me.

Not just disappointed: disgusted.

So wrong on at least two points.

I've no idea whether you are right or wrong on the rest because I've no idea what it means: it's just more of your usual nonsensical gibber gibber hey gibber hey gibber.

But do keep posting it won't you? I've decided to find it amusing.

 

As you were.

It's interesting to wonder what compromat Putin has on Trump....

 

I think Trump will quite quickly realise that aligning with Putin and alienating Ukraine and Europe is only popular with a narrow part of his base. How the Republican party has changed - could you imagine Reagan-era GOP politicians siding with the Soviets over Europeans? 

 

Trump's grasp of reality does seem to be slipping more by the day. To insist that Ukraine started the war is total nonsense. 

 

It now looks like Nato has been defanged, as who would enforce article five? 

 

And Trump's idea of a 'deal' with Russia is just to give them everything they want. Again, what does Putin have on Trump? 

 

Bleak times ahead. Listening to an interview on Times Radio today with Richard Shirreff today, he believes that the direction we're heading could result in Europe being directly at war with Russia within 5 years. With the potential total US withdrawel from Europe, US capitulation to Russia and Putin's endless thirst for imperial expansion, can states like the Baltics do anything other than fear the worst?

J, without conflating topics.

 

Europe is already at war with Russia, one they've effectively bankrolled for Putin by buying all that lovely gas and fertiliser.

 

They laughed at Donald when he said as much, then they closed down Germany's nuclear built more wind turbines this requiring more gas.
