Seems no one wants these bad boys living in their neighbourhood after all.
Go Trump!

And p.s.
Stock markets surged higher after Donald Trump said a deal between the US and China “will happen” as the world’s two largest economies locked horns on tariffs.

The FTSE 100 and indexes across Europe surged by more than 3pc after the President said he was waiting for a call from China as its leaders “badly” want to agree a deal with the US.

Wall Street stocks also rocketed higher amid hopes for a resolution to the turmoil caused by Mr Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs last week.

Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started. We are waiting for their call. It will happen!”

Good news tonight in my opinion!

While at the same time, they are refusing to return an innocent man who had legal status in the US from El Salvador.

Gross.

The tale China tells is pretty different than the one Trump is telling.

Also, 75% of people deported were found to have no criminal record. He is targeting LEGAL migrants right now.

FGT2 is not one of life’s haters

Differing views are allowed in the UK…

You seem new ObliterationDay yet (somehow?) you’ve already got your digs in. Try playing the ball not the man. There truly is no need to get personal. Different opinions ARE allowed on here.

Calling BLM "silly" shows a clear lack of empathy and contempt.

I wonder if she would still consider BLM silly if it was her community/race that was being unjustly murdered by the government for generations.

Just because her view "differs" doesn't make it automatically worthy of consideration.

What are her "differing views" rooted in? Bigotry & msinformation? Alternative facts and reasoning? Ya, no, her "differing views" don't get a seat at the adult table (or shouldn't at least, in an ideal world).

Every little helps Wyllow especially if it’s in the right direction!

BLM was taken over by some black activists and grifters who creamed off the assets of the huge charity donations if I remember correctly? Mansions for some?

I think if this bothers you so much OD it might be worth a separate thread? See you on there perhaps?

No idea what I missed but well done GG13as GNHQ obviously agreed with you.

Indeed Casdon:

“ Wall Street erased gains this evening after the White House confirmed that the US would impose 104pc tariffs on China from tomorrow.

The tit-for-tat tariff hike comes after China decided to retaliate against Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs, which the US President announced last week.

China’s commerce ministry has called the move “a mistake on top of a mistake”.

The S&P 500 had risen as much as 4.1pc this afternoon before gains were wiped out. At 8:30pm this evening, all three of the main Wall Street indexes were in negative territory. The S&P 500 was down by 1.3pc, the tech-heavy Nasdaq had fallen by 1.9pc and the Dow Jones had lost 0.6pc.”

- the markets are very volatile at present!
Up and down like bluddy yo-yos.

Beyond the comprehension of most people, this adoration for Trump.

imaround Tue 08-Apr-25 20:47:11

Yes. And Trump has the power to stop it. To bad he won't. Instead he will be spending millions in tax dollars golfing after shutting down food banks, firing a few hundred thousand workers and now doubling the cost of goods we buy due to policies reaching back to Nixon.

I wonder how many people will have to starve to death until all people take this seriously.

Starve? Oh don't let a little thing like that get in the way.
