So, Trump is cutting funding to PBS. Is this because he can, or is this because it has a slight left wing bias (though if you ask the Republicans, it is a massive left wing bias, it is not).

 

Like all dictators, control the media, control the political narrative. Only those with something to hide want the media under their thumb. And in other news... he is after suing The New York Times.. if he cannot control them directly, then he can force compliance with law suits.

 

Why do I mention this? Well direct parallels with the UK and the moves to sell off Channel 4... control the media... Note that in the UK both ITV and Channel 5 have a bias to the right of politics... Channel 4 would follow suit... the same that PBS would have to do.

 

 

If I was Trump though, I would be sneaking in a load of changes while the world is looking at the Epstein story "this week is a good week to bury bad news"

It's quite a safe bet that JD Vance isn't going to rescind any of Dementia Don's acts. It's almost as if Trump was re-installed to enable Project 2025.

 Because you are absolutely obsessed with the president of another country country you have no connection with at all. 
Yet cannot answer a straight question on a forum for tree surgeons “ as you mentioned “

Yeah but youre obsessed with defending said POTUS so why does it matter?

 

Ive asked plenty of members on here questions that have never been answered over the years, and ive never ever seen anyone apart from you hound someone to death for an answer. 

Obsession!

Trump is a bit like Berlusconi - having his bunga bunga moment

 

There were lavish dinners with boldface names at Mr. Epstein’s mansion on the Upper East Side and raucous parties with cheerleaders and models at Mr. Trump’s private club and residence at Mar-a-Lago. In between, there were trips back and forth from Florida to New York on one of Mr. Epstein’s private jets.

Its politics, as far back as I can be bothered to remember it has been rife with corruption, deceit, bribery, murder, extortion,  blackmail, torture,  you name it,   in just about every party and country  all over the feckin' planet. 

the way some single Trump out and ignore every other bent scheming cnut in politics, even those in their own backyard is not just obsessive, it's downright feckin' disturbing. a professional, qualified person might even say dangerous. the depth of disdain for a single person on the other side of the world must take up a lot of time searching for the next verbal onslaught. 

I dread to imagine what that level of obsessiveness would bring forth if they were in the same city, or even the same country.

everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything, but feck me sometimes there's a list of posts by the same individual you have to scroll down the or go to the next page to reach the feckin' end of it. 

you don't like or agree with him,, we feckin' get it. 

Trump would struggle to write a book, everything he's ever done in his life,, you already told everyone.

I am as guilty as anyone for straying off the thread topic, it happens on all forums, and I have been reminded often enough, 

but going back to the title of this thread, it was a question of who would win, trump or clinton, well that result was known for some time now, I looked at it from back at the beginning and several americans were in at the start, some pro trump, they haven't posted for some time now, maybe they are busy, maybe they just got fed up with the constant derisive references to their  elected president.

I guess we'll never know.

Really ?? You sure about that ?? 
I’ll be interested to see that!!
Apart from me pointing out the fact he’s the democratically elected president of the USA 🤷‍♂️

I’ve asked a good few myself including to you in the Covid thread and I’m still waiting to this day.

Starmer was democratically elected too - just pointing out he's our authentic leader

yes, but he isn't doing very well is he, even within his own party, we can attempt to change that, we do not have a choice of who the potus will be,

I haven't met a single individual who is happy with our current pm. and believe me , I know a very broad group of people, I live between two millionaires, both are fine hard working families, they hate the bastard with a vengeance, but they don't spend every feckin' minute searching the net for dirt on him.

Something the TDS sufferers seem to be oblivious of.

it is your neighbour's lack of diligence that's kept Starmer in a job - there must be something that could be uncovered to bring him down. People just need to be more obsessive.
