To think that the USA is a dictatorship now?

[spoonbillstretford]

Trump appears to have ultimate power. Who can challenge him? Who controls him? Presidents should not be dictating what drug companies charge for medicines on a whim, or indeed any other goods, at the drop of a hat. He says jump and the US says "How High?" What on earth have you done to yourselves and the world to let this evil, thick, orange toddler clown represent you? What the hell were you thinking?

It's the Reform racist fuckwits who are trying to divide the country, fomenting hatred, and the Brexit that they wanted, and the last government who were corrupt and incompetent. The reasonable and rational majority must rise up and fight the minority extremists.

Well that sounds sane

Have you listened to yourself attacking the man not the ball? You are obviously unable to engage in debate.

Exactly!

Donald may not be perfect, but at least the child he allegedly raped was 13 - much better!

😂😂😂😂

Because they are now priced out of their weight loss drugs and their false sense of entitlement has backfired. Toys out of pram.

Who do you think are attacking refugee hostels? The Women's Institute?

I’m with you. Watch it will turn out for them. The turn on each other eventually when they realize Farage isn the answer.

it is not forever and he is not really a dictator
many people like him , many don't
are the UK better off and in what way

I mean, he definitely tried to overthrow the 2020 election, and this time out he has stacked the government with Trump loyalists.

It is really very easy to imagine him refusing to leave office in 2028, unless his base turn on him over the Epstein stuff.

I have 100s of American fb friends, great large estates, doing what they want on them, home educating, private schools, foreign or local holidays, what dictator is allowing all this variety of private life and property....and free speech, yes, haha

The constitution hasn’t been changed or what did I miss, what checks and balances have been removed

LOL. Someone's been drinking freely of the kool-aid (or something rather stronger), I see.

I’m no fan of Starmer but he isn’t in the same league as Trump. Divisions in this country are by far more caused by the idiot Farage and his right wing muppets.
People in the UK are fed up with politics after over a decade of incompetence and greed of the Tory government. Starmer has been a big disappointment yea but so is the shitshow inherited from the last decade.
The US however is on a downward slippery slope far more dangerous than where we are currently at here

So tiresome, this type. No reasoning or debate to be had. So utterly convinced of their own superiority, full of self-righteousness, self satisfied and smug. And then when they see the supposed ‘far right’ emerging it’s surprised pikachu faces all round and wondering how it could have happened. Because leftists are incapable of discussion or accepting others have different views from their own.

So tolerant of all the characteristics that don’t actually matter and utterly intolerant of the one that does - diversity of thought. It’s why the left always ends up eating itself and degenerating into a purity spiral.

I'm not denying that there are legions of massively overweight people in the US who are far more in need of mounjaro than me. But it's not the fault of everyone else in the world that it costs them too much. Years of voting for right wing laissez faire goverments enacting end stage captalism writ large and socialism being practically a swear word is the problem in the US. That's why your drugs cost too much.

Quite.

Well duh, it's the people who are concerned about women and children's safety obviously. Or maybe it was just thugs? If only there were some clues...

"Two out of every five people arrested after participating in last summer’s riots had been previously reported to the police for domestic abuse, the Guardian can disclose."

Exactly.

Yes himself and putin have a lot in common. Goodness knows what monetary benefit he has negotiated for himself these few days.

many on here have not

It's not a dictatorship yet, but it absolutely is descending into authoritarianism. Let's see if the midterms happen, then we'll talk.

Because leftists are incapable of discussion or accepting others have different views from their own
Spot on. It appears often on MN. 'Disagree with me and you're fascist, Reform, racist' etc etc
And it's always from the Left

You would have thought they would have worked it out by now. Farage’s only achievement in life is brexit and that didn’t exactly go to plan did it. 🙄

absolutely
it takes a foreign living here to see it as it is
