Nawrocki won 50.9% percent of the votes – doesn't that remind you of the brexit vote? With hindsight, the Conservatives should really have sought bilateral consensus because that's the only way to make brexit a success. Instead, they handed brexit negotiations to hardliners. Consequently, they have lost big time. Nawrocki uses his presidential veto. It's not exactly democracy when the mandate is so flimsy. That's the surest way to lose big in the next cycle.

Trump's militarised immigration crackdown in Los Angeles has lost him support for his key policy from 4% net approval to -2% in the latest polls.

The Dutch are wise. Geert Wilders will not be PM.

Demo-krazis are demo-krazi, so is it surprising they start unaliving political representatives?
Oh dear, is it still "peaceful"?
Wonder where the investigation will lead Tim? :eek:

'Georgia Meloni was spotted rolling her eyes and whispering with French President Emmanuel Macron at the first G7 meeting today, as splits emerge between world leaders.'
The G7 minus Trump would like a joint declaration on Ukraine and Israel. Starmer was in charge of sweet talking Trump but Trump would have none of it.
If far right is all like Meloni, I suppose we can live with.

For years, I have in mind that ebikers don't get angry. Well, at least not all the time. So why you so often repost videos that show extremely angry people?

Trump mused: 'Am I allowed to appoint myself?' He wants to replace Jerome Powell because he cannot sack Powell nor can he make Powell to cut the Fed's interest rate.
Trump started the war in Iran. I can't see how he can get out of all the mess he created.

One way out is to get in deeper by helping Israel against Iran. Then it will all be Iran's extremist Islamic fault in the American public's mind.

The USA has to help Israel regardless of circumstances, who is POTUS and who is Israel 's PM. However, Trump is too lazy to think long term or moderation. This time, his enemies are the majority of MAGA and Fox News. I can't see how he will convince them that the current fight is all Obama 's and Biden's fault. On the economic front, the inflationary effect of his tariffs will filter through by August, MAGA will even be more restless. Trump was on TV yesterday saying: 'I know what I am doing, there is a stupid man at the fed!'.
Jesus. Trump is stupider than I thought. Maga is not going to buy that.

As I've said before, Trump is the US's Boris Johnson. Both have the same insane but unshakeable belief in themselves, so don't care about outcomes since they can never be their fault.

Yes, MAGA will desert Trump at present, but they've been stupid enough to make him POTUS a second time. Is that the limit of their stupidity and gullibility? I think not.

I think they are gormless enough to return to eventually thinking they've been robbed yet again.

What amazes me is how easy it is for Trump to sell cheap money.
Since 2008, the USA and most of the world are hooked on very low interest rates. Corporates have used the opportunity to push up prices and profits. The poor usually does not get anything other than a bigger mortage and student loans. After covid, rates had to go up. Who is going to pay the price?

Almost all of us will through a continuously falling standard of living. A component of that will be the ill effects of mass migration subtracting from existing population's standards.

Social engineering will play a big part as changes are forced upon us, such as the reductions in car ownership and usage, and ever reducing living accommodation.

In short, it will all be so gradual that it will have happened before any real protest can stop it. Indeed, much of it has already happened.
