I was very encouraged by his speech. The Democrats reacted like sulky children.

Yet Artols you worry about a tiny part of the population in the bathroom with you . You best worry whether there will be food on your table or a car to drive …. to where the empty stores ?

Panama Canal? This now seems to something else ZTrump has on his birthday list

This man is a truly deluded unstable out-of-control lunatic!

No one who links Trump to being a champion of women’s rights can be taken seriously for any reason.

This administration and its supporters have set women back a few decades in every other way. The OP, like the statistically under educated Trump voter is delusional and unsurprisingly under-informed…like a typical Trump supporter. Willful ignorance is the worst and most unforgivable kind of ignorance. Convicted Felon President P***y Grabber and his Women in the Kitchen sidekick shouldn’t be left unsupervised with women, much less mischaracterized as protecting our rights. I believe E. Jean Carol. Shame on those who don’t. A judge did. Trump was only protected by the statute of limitations. He is scum.

At this point I care not who is offended. I raised my children in the US when it was respectable. I have grandchildren still there who have to grow up in the anti-science, primitive land now. This is personal for some of us. Sitting behind your screen cheering nonsense when you haven’t the slightest clue the extent of the damage is shameful. Enough is enough.

Katek I agree with you completely. The vote - winning removing-transgender- in- sport issue is, like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, a no - cost smoke and mirrors activity.
Neither of these issues will have much bearing on the lives of the citizens of the USA, but will cause lots of excitement and potentially prevent anyone noticing the deaths of women due to decisions to remove their reproductive rights, or that the Tate brothers have been given the right to return to America to continue spouting their hateful message and swerve a trial for shocking crimes.
It's working very well so far - ask Arto1s.

BlueBelle maybe you should. Under Biden, nothing was done, under for us, the Americans.

So how is the economy doing?

BlessedArt Wed 05-Mar-25 10:28:23

The one silver lining is that his voters will be as negatively impacted as everyone else, and they deserve every bit of what’s coming. They are already whinging about many things but too slow to see the correlation. They don’t understand that voting against their own interests—which these billionaires do not share—has real impact. Cheers to their tears. We reap what we sow.

I do believe the real plan, is the Ben Gurion Canal through Gaza!

I would like to recommend what I think is a real "State of the Union" address today from Bernie Sanders, Independent Senator for Vermont, dissecting Trump's speech.

It's quite long, but the best speech I've heard and seems to be from his heart without the use of a teleprompter or notes. His compassion and knowledge touched me deeply, especially from mins 21.08 to the end.

Trump has also declared that he will get Greenland "one way or another."

I assume this can only mean that this dangerous madman is prepared to use military force if need be.

Christ!

Food prices are important. It seems to be one of the reasons Trump was successful.

Perhaps you are unaware the food prices have only become higher under Trump and with his isolationist policies they will only continue to rise .

If you think the Democrats will ever win whilst they support men in womens spaces then it might be worth thinking about who might feel sorry for you.
If people reject one level of insanity to simply embrace another I have very little hope.

Now that's the clarity of thought I was hoping to find today 🙂

It never fails to surprise me how terrified some people in the US are of what might have been called the liberal left a few years ago but now is called WOKE. Is a bogey man that for millions of Americans doesn’t adversely affect their lives in any way. But a good smoke screen for a fascist dictator like Trump to hide behind, whose ham fisted policies are already adversely affecting millions of Americans and will continue to do so, as well as adversely affecting many other parts of the world.
Still, at least Trump is doing something about trans men in women’s sports, perhaps we should tell Zelenskyy this or the European leaders worried about the security of their countries. Or Trudeau who is now waging a trade war, along with Mexico and China. Or the countries Trump intends to buy.
I doubt it will impress them much.

It’s a fine theory, but on the evidence of the 2024 election, it’s not actually true. Considerably more women voted Democrat, and if men had done the same, the Democrats would have won. One policy does not mean Trump is pro-equality for women, in fact on the evidence so far, that could hardly be further from the truth.

Rula Wed 05-Mar-25 11:56:58

No, mae13! He's changed his mind on Greenland.

Grantanow Wed 05-Mar-25 12:01:53

Inspiring? Really?

An interesting article about how the Russians infiltrate popular forums such as this. I know it’s 2 years old but I can’t imagine things have got better.

tbh I do read posts and wonder if they are bots, then I find the narrative is so confused I think it's just people trying to start arguments for the fun of it.

Grandmabatty Wed 05-Mar-25 12:22:02

He openly said in his state of the union speech he was going to get Greenland, one way or another. How is that changing his mind? And Trudeau didn't start a trade war but is retaliating to Trump's desire to have Canada and his tariffs

westendgirl Wed 05-Mar-25 12:26:25

When did he change his mind Rula ? Because I'm pretty sure the I heard him talk about Greenland in his speech, Saying he would get Greenland one way or another.

Unfortunately he is the only ticket in town who has even approached the problem of.mem in women's prisons, men in women's sports, and propaganda supporting this message in schools and hospitals.

Rula Wed 05-Mar-25 12:29:26

You are all correct. I've been fooled by fake news.

To be fair I read it in the early hours, no idea where, and it said he was going to let the population decide.

Tuts. I apologise for my misinformation

Oldbat1 Wed 05-Mar-25 12:30:37

“Inspiring” definitely not.

Casdon Wed 05-Mar-25 12:31:59

Yes, I appreciate that *Namsnanny, and I’m not in any way knocking that initiative. What I’m saying is that as far as the female electorate was concerned, it wasn’t a dealbreaker, as more of them voted Democrat regardless.

glasshalffullagain Wed 05-Mar-25 12:34:29

GN has a certain comedic value doesn't it really?

A felon, a woman hater, somebody who urged us to drink bleach and so on.

Now because of a few pathetic soundbites and some haf baked nonsense , he is deemed to be worthy of listening to.

Does anybody think he cares about women's right? Or that his puppet master cares about abused girls in Northern UK towns?
