Trump Neurosis Thread

[Oldcarpy2]

Brits would, or should, know that our Monarchs are not crowned at Windsor Castle.

Darren Grimes is a well known Right wing activist with an agenda.

Thank you for your concern for our Royal family.

Sorry if they trigger you.

"Charles isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree."

Well, on that, at least, we can agree.

Embracing people is fine.  Embracing the faith is not.  Islam denies that Jesus is Son of God, and denies the crucifixion and the resurrection.  Celebrating a Muslim holiday, and doing it on historic property like that, is saying that you agree with it and is encouraging it.  The 'head of the church' in England should know better.   But then again, snobby hypocrite Charles isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.   Islam, which is incompatible with Western values, is taking over England.  London is full of the cancer and it's getting worse because of stunts like this.   But they,  can run their little country any way they like .. for now.  "Civilization suicide".  Once Islam fully takes over it will be different.  And yes, that's what they do, take over.  It's in the charter of their religion.

As usual, FF summarizes the previous points in a few jabs and then hits with an uppercut. It's the point we all dance around: When your religion states it wants to convert all others, to put it politely, it is an issue.

Especially since there are so many people of said religion in the country in a concentrated area. At some point, assimilation which is the goal here in the US, gets swamped in the UK and elsewhere. It's not about race or religion, Ive been fortunate to work with many persons of different nationalities and cultures it's about accepting the baser values of the country one is migrating to aka being gracious guests FFS.  We hear all the time about dumb Americans abroad being stupid and ignorant of a country's culture, which brings scorn, but when they arrive on a rickety boat run across a beach, and disappear in a few minutes it immediately stresses that local community.

We can argue it's thier right or which is better or worse, be we can't argue it doesn't alter our society, it changes our path 

In America, most previous migrating or minority groups at least wanted to be identified as hyphenated Americans, now they burn our flag protest at our institutions and expect it to not provoke a response.

FWIW I've lived in or adjacent to a large migrant minority community since the 70s, it can work beautifully but it takes years.

Too many to quickly lead to what we are seeing, not to mention these protests likely have foreign sponsors, something absent in the 70s 80s 90s.

Im completely aware ironically Im a bit all over the place and somewhat neurotically myself, perhaps it is just that kind of issue

also FWIW Im not triggered just a semi-concerned person on a nondescript message board, a person who likes to discuss such topics and pretend they have participated in worldly affairs, and then go on with my completely focused mundane and simple real life.

The UK's Muslim population is about 6%, 15% in London.

The vast majority are not radicalised fundamentalist jihadis.

It doesn't take a vast majority, a vast majority of Gazans for example are likely OK. Again Ive said it before during all the protests in America. If they are organic and homegrown is completely different than having foreign financial sponsorship and logistical support.

FWIW

The exact number of radical jihadists in the UK is difficult to determine, but a 2008 MI5 analysis indicated that there were several hundred individuals involved in violent extremist activity. As of 2023, 75% of MI5's caseload was focused on Islamist threats, highlighting the ongoing concern about radicalization in the country

Yes, it is of grave concern but a few hundred radicals are not going to turn the UK into a Caliphate.

Any more than quite a few neo Nazis will turn us into the Fourth Reich.

Very much liking how NYT has overflowed their "Opinion" tag and now labels it as "Analysis":

Blimey.

Trump baby has spat his dummy. Again!

Is it not now beyond obvious that he is losing his mind?

A la Biden?

Will his MAGA supporters blindly follow him as he takes the US over a cliff, like lemmings?

Trump is setting the record straight.
And he's announcing the end of the Justice Dept being used for political reasons.
Nothing 'grievance' about it.

Obama ... 2011 ... announcing the same kind of cuts that DOGE is doing.
The Democrats and left wing were just fine with it when it came from Obama.
So were most of the right wing and Republicans.  
But now, because Trump and Musk are involved, the left is losing it's mind.
Hypocrisy ... comical or sad ... can't decide which.   Probably both.

Bill Clinton announced the same kind of thing when he was POTUS.
And he said that he wouldn't be going through Congress because that would just gum up the works.
Same thing Trump and Musk say.
When Clinton said it, they were fine with it.
But now because Trump and Musk are involved, they are losing their minds.

Retardation.  

I don't like Trump.  He's a bloviating self-promoting grifter.  And Musk, although brilliant, is not respectful of authority over him.    BUT ... what they are doing with the cuts and DOGE are just fine ... so far.   And it's just what Democrats Clinton and Obama called for but never got off the ground with.
