Could describe any politician with this

Since the start of his second presidency, Donald Trump has often launched outlandish conspiratorial attacks on critics and foes that mock them and label their views as hoaxes, prompting scholars and legal experts to say Trump’s attacks endanger US freedoms, public health and science.

Trump’s extensive use of conspiracy theories is the hallmark of an authoritarian leader that has weakened trust in the coming midterm elections, dangerously ignored scientific evidence, and often pushed for prosecutions of his political enemies in ways that seriously erode civil liberties, say critics.

They, the them, they’re out to get us! St Maggie! The Capitalists! The Joos! Neoliberals!

Standard practice….

Nobody ever pushed for prosecution of Trump right?

See also, Berlusconi, Bolsonaro, Sarkozy, Fillon, Le Pen, AFD, etc

He was in my office at Scotty Parl on Monday. Had a few minutes with him myself talking about how things were going. Quite the gent.

Rupe or Nige?

Never met Nige, but have sort of met Rupe and if you’re talking about him, I’d agree. A gent.

He’s supposed to just ignore the assassination attempts, the constant lawfare and the murder of his allies by the Left and just be a good sport.

They must have missed the red-tinged speech where Biden declared half the country enemies.

And not forgetting the “deplorables” speech. Imagine what it would have been like if she’d been set loose on her political enemies? She strikes me as one of the most vindictive politicians of modern times.

Ninety per cent of the troubles in your life come out of your own mouth. Don has pushed that close to a hundred per cent, but then he has X to help him.

(For the record, the other ninety per cent come from associating with the wrong people.)

The left made the schoolboy error of believing that they could go after Trump with impunity because they had the ability and power to stop him getting elected a 2nd time. To stretch the point – they kept kicking him when he was down, but not hard enough and he got up.

The Georgia Board of Elections just admitted HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots in 2020 were counted TWICE — and it wasn’t a glitch.

If you read the comments Grok doesn’t think it’s real:

No. The Georgia Board of Elections has not admitted hundreds of thousands of 2020 ballots were intentionally counted twice. Investigators found roughly 3,000 possible duplicate images in Fulton’s recount from procedural errors; they could not confirm those entered the official tally and found no impact on results. A separate 2025 issue involved unsigned tabulator tapes for about 315,000 early votes—a clerical lapse, not double-counting. Multiple machine counts and a full hand audit confirmed Biden’s 11,779-vote margin. The apology quote and intentional-theft claims do not match official records.

Yes, I had seen that, but since AI models have been shown to exhibit a left wing bias, can we trust Grok? The video looks a bit too amateurish to have been AI generated, and he seemed rather concerned about mentioning fraud. In any case, there’s been lots of other evidence of election fraud, from midnight ballot drops, to examination of ballot counting machines. Since the left are continually trying to obstruct any attempts at challenging the results, it strongly suggests they know damn well it will uncover things that go against them…

California has made it illegal to review ballots after an election. This law was gunning for the sheriff of Riverside county, who also was running as a Republican for governor.

It’s amazing what you don’t see if you make it illegal to look

But not before Al Gore challenged the 2000 presidential election with its dimpled chads.

I mean, really, why bother arguing with these people? Nothing they do is in good faith, and everything they do takes advantage of normies’ goodwill.

We ought to appreciate that it’s a knife-fight in a pub car-park with them, not a polite after-dinner convo.

Which is the mirror image of what the Antifa loons claim. And as false. There are many options between polite conversations and knife-fights.

We’ve been invaded to the tune of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of backwards, military-aged men, some of whom are the agents of hostile powers (including your own bete noir of Russia), and our own ruling class is making it happen.

And you want to have a polite conversation about it.

As a chap said, at the height, no less, of the Belle Epoque: the great questions of the age will be decided by blood and iron.

When your holiday cottage is commandeered by whichever side, where do you suppose that polite conversation will go?

Face/palm! Read what I said. At no point did I say that I wanted a polite conversation. Rather, I pointed out that polite conversation vs knife fight was a false dichotomy.

I’d say you have a profound misunderstanding of how the left operate. You think the left is like the right. A majority who wish polite conversations who ostracise those who would be up for the knife-fight.”People like us don’t do that.”
The left is a continuum. They’ll do the polite conversation & if polite conversation doesn’t work the knife-fighters take over. The left doesn’t have any problem with its extremists. It never has. It uses them when necessary.
I expect to see this in the unlikely event Reform gains an electoral majority. The ballot box hasn’t worked for them so they’ll turn to the extra-democratic to prevent Reform governing. Expect everything from left favouring public employees refusing to comply with government policy, to disruptive demonstrations, to orchestrated riots. And the police, courts & judiciary will continue to be two-tier, they’ve been so extensively captured

French school protester arrested after ‘flamethrower’ attack on woman
Footage shows a hooded youth launching a burst of fire at the victim, reportedly causing first-degree burns

The vid is shocking. The little cunt calmly walks up to a middle aged woman and torches her face. He needs stringing up.

You only have to listen & read the inflammatory language the left habitually uses. Struggle, battle fight, fight, fight. In any other context it would a be clear incitement to violence. The sort of words got people banged up after Stockport.
Is it surprising some on the left take it as instructions?
It’s something the right, particularly Reform needs to learn from. Some figurehead of the left makes a speech about “Fighting the cuts…” Take it literally. The 2AM knock at the door. Full house search with kids being turfed out of bed. Seizure of phones, computers & left wing literature. Remand in custody on terrorist charges.

Grok probably the least left wing of them all – I think the very fact 10 million voters who voted in 2020 ‘disappeared’ in the years up to 2024 means it’s pretty obvious the 2020 election was rigged. Given it would probably lead back to Saint Barack Obama then the lamestream media hasn’t even troubled to entertain it. Prior to being surpassed by Starmer/ Burnham there weren’t many governments on the planet worse than Obama/ Biden….

Steven Levitsky, the Harvard professor of government and the co-author of How Democracies Die,

the Princeton historian Julian Zelizer.

Naomi Oreskes, a Harvard University science historian and professor of earth and planetary sciences,

Dr Howard Frumkin, a professor emeritus of public health at the University of Washington

All of whom are of course ‘unbiased’ witnesses – right – Reading through this list is like looking at the defendants list at Nuremberg – my one regret is all of these people, along with most ‘higher educationalists’ in both the UK and US are not facing a similar fate.

I agree that Trump, like most politicians, isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he is astute and the people that attack him are often cosmically dim and totally transparent in their motives. The only definition of “trans” that has some basis in reality.
The reason I like him is that he obviously loves America whereas our own home grown mob hate Britain and the British as only the Left has ever since I can remember…

Whether he loves America isn’t obvious. But if he doesn’t he can certainly fake it. I think he’s a bit like leaving a cut throat razor in the drawer. Put you hand in, you may lose fingers.
Trumps simply in a different league. Like the NYJ’s taking on a Massachusetts Sunday morning Moms’ soccer club

‘Conspiratorial attack?’

Anyone?

“prompting Commie scholars and legal experts to say Trump’s attacks endanger US freedoms, public health and science”

Fixed it.

Trump’s extensive use of conspiracy theories

‘Conspiracy’ is a commie label meaning “we don’t like it.” Not that it is wrong, that they don’t like it. Like “misinformation.”

the hallmark of an authoritarian leader

Wut?

that has weakened trust in the coming midterm elections, dangerously ignored scientific evidence, and often pushed for prosecutions of his political enemies in ways that seriously erode civil liberties

Guardian sounding paranoid.

AFAIK, the MSM here has never given any (serious) exposure to the allegation by Mr Biden’s daughter that he showered naked with her until she was 12.

Obviously, if the alleg was contra Trump then our grandchildren would still be hearing about it 80 years from now.

I don’t know whether I’m more bored by the ovine stupidity of people putting up with this crap, or depressed by ditto.
