Said like a major league dictator, Er, Jan 6th protesters!
Exactly so.
How does it go?
“Sir we have arrested 6 violent rioters. What should we do with them?”
“Well that depends…
…Are they our violent rioters or theirs?”
The gospel according to Donald right now and the Taoiseach must be thinking wtf. Trump keeps repeating himself mostly guff.
so just like starmer then
For years, Western nations have been trying to tackle what they deem as China’s excess production, arguing that it is unfairly sold at lower prices on the global market because of government support.
Beijing has consistently denied that’s the case and it’s been difficult for the rest of the world to reach agreement on what to do about it.
So, any chance of consensus on this topic guys?
We shouldn’t mind too much, good quality, safe and fairly priced products coming in especially to meet demand that local producers can’t or won’t. But we should stop unsafe poor quality crap flooding in.
Most if not all the fires caused by E-bikes, have been dodgy Chinese made batteries and chargers bought over fleabay and amazon. We should increase the customs, and trading standards staff by 100 fold, and really pull apart all those hundreds of thousands of containers shipping in each month. Naturally also looking for fentanyl and counterfeit razzle magazines too.
As we all know, a cheap product is a product bought twice (or ten times) And because this dodgy merchandise is coming direct from China, laying over in vast amazon warehouses etc, before shipping to you, you have bo diddly squat chance of getting your money back unless amazon cough up.
So if we quit this mad consumer drive to buy buy buy all the time, and instead get quality and keep it for years, in the long run it benefits us all. Quality stuff without unfair competition can sell for more, then lasts for much longer, so the manufacturer gets their deserts, and so do we.
Meanwhile wait for trump to fart out of the house in 4 years time and hope he hasn’t absolutely wrecked global commerce.
A separate thread on the subject would create interest I’m sure.
Too right.
If most people’s speech was written down, it would be a bit ungrammatical and maybe a bit wandering. Trump’s speech is just totally deranged.
His “Truth Social” posts, although written so he can check and correct them, are equally nonsensical. And that is within one post! Put two posts together and it makes less than zero sense.
Excellent…said in a Mr Burns voice.
James O’Brien lol. What an odious c ock.
The irish response on the tv interview with trump was, sure we have ryanair and they keep the boeing company alive with the amount of planes they buy
He would probably have got somewhere with trump if he was wearing a leprechaun suit
? But if who was wearing the leprechaun suit**?** 
No good answer to that one, maybe?

I remember as a kid going to a local cafe with my dear old Grandma.
We would go in, sit down and she would buy me…Well basically anything I wanted, usually a giant ice cream sundae, and constant refills of glasses of pop.
I was in my element sat there reading a Beano or Dandy…or both, that she had also bought me.
So I was just sat quiet totally content.
Anyway one by one her mates would sit at the table and join us…most of em very loud.
Now my Gran did not ever have a bad word for anybody, she would just maybe smile, and nod and shake her head…marvellous and lovely kind lady, who I loved dearly.
The rest of them…a bunch of cackling and gossiping old women.
They would pick a victim…stuff said like…
‘‘Have you heard about her at no 42?’’
And would proceed to verbally pull her to bits, making snide remarks, and sarcastic comments…it was like a witches coven.
This thread takes me right back there.
(Anyway…Thanks for bringing back the memories and nostalgia )
‘Stop the shooting and start talking,’ US tells Russian President as his forces renew their attacks on Ukraine after Kyiv signs up to 30-day ceasefire plan
Don’t be putting that out there FFS! Most of the p4nty wetters here would have you believe that Trump is the illegitimate love child of Lucifer himself. God forbid that he halts a war that is killing 1, 10,100, 1000 people a day (depending on which bought and paid for source you get your information from)
Trump is a d1ck of the highest order, of that I have no doubt, but by Christ he gets things done. If it upsets the menstrual cycles of some of our more delicate members then that’s a win win IMO.
From A Canadian Commentator:
Mugsy Margarit
One thing I’ve learned over the past few weeks, and it’s been a bit of a sobering lesson, is that a lot of Americans I know don’t actually know what’s going on between the US and Canada right now, and just how seriously Canadians are taking this. So, against my better judgement, here’s a timeline to explain why we’re here, and why we’re angry.
Nov 30th, 2018 - The United States, Canada and Mexico finalize a trade agreement. Trump personally negotiates the terms and signs the document, celebrating it as 'the greatest trade agreement in history". (This is important.)
Nov 29th, 2024 - In a face to face meeting, Trump threatens the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, that he will be imposing 25% tariffs and that if Canada wants to avoid that, it should join the US as a state.
Nov 30th, 2024 - Trump publicly calls our Prime Minister ‘Governor Trudeau’ and instructs his staff to only address him as Governor going forward. He again suggests Canada should join the USA.
Dec 3rd, 2024 - Trump remarks that he would split Canada into two states once annexed.
Dec 10th, 2024 - Trump posts that the majority of Canadians support annexation, despite public polling that only 13% of Canadians would consider the idea.
Dec 18th, 2024 - Trump again falsely states that the majority of Canadians support annexation and that one of his lapdogs, Wayne Gretzky, should have a leadership role in that new scenario.
Jan 7th, 2025 - At a press conference, Trump says that he would use economic force to destroy the Canadian economy to annex it.
Jan 14, 2025 - Trump again claims that most Canadians want to be American, despite new polls showing only 10% of us are open to the idea.
Jan 20th, 2025 - During his inaugural address, Trump says that the U.S. will ‘expand its territory’ during his second term.
Jan 23rd, 2025 - At the World Economic Forum, Trump says that Canada can avoid tariffs and economic collapse if it joins the US. He says this in front of representatives from most countries in the world.
Jan 24th, 2025 - Trump states publicly that Canada ‘will’ become a state
Jan 31st, 2025 - Trump announces a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports to begin the next day.
Feb 2nd, 2025 - Trump refers to Canada as its ‘Cherished 51st state’ and that it should join the US to avoid tariffs.
Feb 3rd, 2025 - A one month delay is agreed upon. Trump, in a conversation with Trudeau states that he doesn’t think existing border treaties with Canada are valid, and need to be revised.
Feb 7th, 2025 - In a closed door meeting with his cabinet, Prime Minister Trudeau is recorded, without his knowledge, telling everyone that he believes very strongly that Trump is serious and that he stated his reason for annexation as Canadian resources.
Feb 9th, 2025 - In a Super Bowl pre-game interview, Trump says that he’s serious about his threats, calling it a ‘viable consideration for expanding US territory’

Feb 24th, 2025 - Trump publicly remarks that whoever signed the USMCA agreement is an idiot. He was the one that signed it.
March 4th, 5th, and 6th 2025 - Tariffs come into effect. Canada retaliates with it’s own tariffs. Tariffs are again postponed until April 1st after a huge market backlash.
March 4th, 2025 - In an address to a joint session of congress, Trump states that the US will own Greenland ‘one way or the other’.
March 5th, 2025 - US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick told Canadian finance minister Dominic LeBlanc that Trump “had come to realize that the relationship between the United States and Canada was governed by a slew of agreements and treaties that were easy to abandon.”
March 7th, 2025 - Unconfirmed Memorandum and maps leaked on twitter reveal Trump is allegedly planning to annex the entirety of the great lakes and Southern Ontario, home to 13,491,332 Canadians. This amounts to 35.25% of Canada’s total population and includes its largest city, Toronto. This region accounts for 38% of the Canadian economy, and its loss would make Canada’s independence functionally impossible.
March 8th, 2025 - Canada’s foreign minister warns European allies that their government considers Canada to be under existential threat.
March 9th, 2025 - Mark Carney, the new Canadian Prime Minister, in his acceptance speech, states that Trump is seeking to destroy Canada, and its way of life.
March 11, 2025 - President Trump threatens to “permanently shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada” if Canada does not drop a 250% to 390% tariff on U.S. dairy products, which he doesn’t state only kicks in after a certain quantity of tariff-free U.S. dairy enters Canada, a quantity that was originally negotiated and agreed to by Trump during the USMCA in 2018.
In Trump’s own words, “The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians’ taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem, and the greatest and most powerful nation in the World will be bigger, better and stronger than ever — And Canada will be a big part of that. The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World — And your brilliant anthem, “O Canada,” will continue to play, but now representing a GREAT and POWERFUL STATE within the greatest Nation that the World has ever seen!”
March 11th, 2025 PT. II - Peter Navarro, a Senior Advisor for Trump is interviewed by MSNBC. When asked about the tariffs he responds with “Just tamp it down, please, over there, ok?

To my American friends, I know most of you are amazing and generous people. You didn’t ask for this, and I understand that. I hold no ill will towards you, whatsoever. But I must stress, with as much seriousness as I can, the amount of damage this has done.
We have viewed you as our closest friend and ally for a century. We thought of you as brothers and sisters. We answered the call, again and again, for any support you needed from us. Most of Canadians visit the USA so much that we’ve seen more of the US than we have the rest of Canada.
American products have been taken off our shelves. Canadians are cancelling travel plans to the US. Photo after photo has been shared on social media of empty flights from Canada to the USA.
This isn’t a joke to us. We’re not overreacting. We don’t think he’s just saying this ■■■■ to cause chaos or negotiate a deal. We wholeheartedly believe that our closest ally and friend is about to bring violence across our border, economically destroy us, and eliminate our way of life.
The main driver for Canada’s creation in 1867 was SPECIFICALLY to not be part of America, and to end America’s very public threats and plans to annex our territory.
We’re angry. We’re really, really ■■■■■■■ angry. Open your eyes to what’s happening because we’re tired of trying to make you understand why and asking you why it seems like none of you care. **
I still hope that there is time to repair this. I still believe that this is the result of one man’s plan to burn it all down. But time is running out, and fast.

In a nutshell.
They will definitely find something negative in this,.and if they can’t,.they will sure as hell look for something until they do.
Why are they so botherhed if Trump gets a peace prize…who cares ffs.?
If it saves 1000s of lives, and reunites the women and kids over here…ie PROPER refugees as opposed to bogus ones with a self serving agenda like our (now resident) scrounging criminals, …a petty and trivial reward like an accolade prize will be more than worth it.
So over to the ‘We’re doomed, doomed’‘’ Private Frazer posse.
Thsnks for that…
I’m going to use that one on my next post about Starmer,.and his reluctance to do anything about the invasion of Arabic and Moslem young men, including criminals and terrorists who are daily invading by stealth our country,
And that one.
Which is a bit closer to home and more relative and relavant to us as Brits at the moment, as what is going on thousands of miles away,.and what COULD happen here, instead of what IS happening now.
Cheers.
Exactly, the parasites of the financial world who are so greatly admired and valued rather than those who actually do the jobs which make the country run.
It is going to "devastate Russia " with economic sanctions eh? and what is Twumpy Wumpy going to do when Putin says that Russia will consider that an act of War?
