Well what an address!
I agree with every word.
We have been warned, I just hope it’s not too late.

That article doesn't cover the issues you mentioned stripeygran.

ronib Fri 26-Sept-25 19:42:25

Would you define a munchkin state?

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 26-Sept-25 19:32:06

Streets ahead in the munchkin states!?

ronib Fri 26-Sept-25 19:30:44

I have a feeling that America is going to be streets ahead by the end of Trump’s term. Lucky Americans.

SueEH Fri 26-Sept-25 18:22:17

My brain says what an idiot, but such a very very dangerous idiot. I feel very sorry for all the decent Americans who must cringe every time he opens his mouth. God alone knows where we’ll be at the end of his term.

Leave it with me, if you'd be so kind. Obviously I have to be a little bit careful here.

Thanks

This may be of some help and point you in the direction of a human rights organisation which has documented these abuses.

Of course there are Americans who think Trump is doing a great job. There are lots of people who don't care about the lives of others who are less fortunate. There are people who are homophobic, racist etc who don't care about the rights of others. There are the "I'm alright, Jack" people, fortunately I don't think they are the majority.
It's ironic that Trump garnered much of his support from those who felt left behind but they are not the people who are benefitting from his policies.

He is a convicted fraudster and sex pest.
The 'I'm all right Jack' ethos seems to still be alive and kicking.
Increasing looks as if it was a Trump staffer who accidently caused the escalator to stop. Trumps' own team was in charge of the teleprompt.

A fewer round here have children living in the USA, all have done extremely well, own business etc. They think Trump is fantastic. Our country going tontgecfactvtgeyvcantup,mtgsts their perception when visiting. Mention Trump, answer He sure gets things done, I was skating on thin ice when I mentioned about his spouting off, they said well he's a showman too. So whether we can't stand the nan we are stuck with him as they don't need us as we need them.They in the main want him.
Our successive governments have been a laughing stock on immigration, three appeals over 8 years at taxpayers expense, what a toothless exercise, money for lawyers.

Switch them all off? Useless Nations? Trump was right - what does the UN do?

Allsorts Fri 26-Sept-25 06:44:35

Just switch him off.

Also Carney pm Canada and the Indonesian president had speeches interrupted by a mic malfunction when speaking.

ronib Fri 26-Sept-25 05:58:49

President Erdogan also suffered a mic failure at the UN.

dotpocka Thu 25-Sept-25 23:09:49

report say the mic was shut off only ones very closed heard it

Why didn't he simply move over to the other escalator?

That's much too easy, Maremia.
And he couldn't make such a fuss, either.

Yes.

Perhaps you could give us a link so we can see for ourselves, otherwise it is just anecdotal.

StripeyGran Thu 25-Sept-25 17:32:48

Yes.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 25-Sept-25 17:15:34

StripeyGran I am no fan of SERCO however, can you substantiate your claims?

Can you imagine any hotels response if we were abroad and started cooking a full english on a camping stove in the bathroom

Sorry I don't see the connection between a holiday costing many thousands of pounds with delicious food on tap and a traumatised person living in a repurposed Hotel in the UK?

Cooking in a hotel bathroom and blocking the smoke detector is not acceptable in any circumstances, it is a genuine health and safety hazard on multiple levels.

Yup. So is SERCO staff stealing from people, playing spin the bottle to decide who goes where, swearing and berating people and telling them their children don't need school, demanding sexual favours,barging into rooms unannounced,roughing people up. Oh and refusing to provide sanitary wear.

Yes, I think that is the connection, GrannyGravy!

It is utterly foolish and dangerous,

They had only gone up by a few steps and it didn't come to a juddering halt as it was going quite slowly. No need for all the hysterics. There was no chance of him and Melania being catapulted backwards.
