He really is going for it - incredibly brave!

Half of the US is up in arms (no pun intended) at this tiny, almost insignificant change proposed that will make fuck all diference to the number of deaths. “Attack on our rights!” they shouted. :lou_facepalm_2:

Oh, Bucks. I was trying to provide evidence that Americans too do great things, and you’ve only gone and proven even in this example, they’re bonkers. :lou_facepalm_2:

No worries Lou, I was agreeing with you while educating the rest on here that the evidence of American fuckwitness is never ending :lou_lol:

Really hope it works, he wants a legacy and by fuck that will be one if he acheives it.

I find incredibly sad that there are so many people in this world who seem hell bent on fucking up their own lives as well as those of others … for nothing. We get our 70-85 years if we are fortunate enough not to be born into a life of extreme povetry that still sees so many kids die before they are 5 years old (when there is no need for this still to be happening) yet there seem plenty who seem incapable of reason or intelligent thought. If they were capable of this then we would not have these complete and utter cunts doing dispicable things… it really is that simple.

Do these fuckwits in the US not see the incredible irony when they go on about their ‘constitutional rights’ and the exact word of the Declaration of Independence, hanging onto the words that were written in different times, and in different context - set suggest they are morally superior to those that proclaim they are simply folowing the words written in another book by people from another time and in another context? Especially when the overwhelming majority of Muslims do NOT agree with what a few fuckwits are doing?

The problem with religion and faith is not even what is written down - its the the belief in some afterlife rubbish which seems to convince the fundemendally fucking stupid that life and the taking of it in this world have little meaning… too eager to throw it away or take less care about it - be it through suicide, murder and terrorist activity, owing guns that their children find and play with, or that fall into the hands of young mixed-up-in-the-head kids - or those fuckwits whose egos and macho hunger is satisfied by owning such things…

The world is fucked up - because we let the fuckwits into power, let the fuckwits feed the paranoia of the voting fuckwits, let the fuckwits have guns and somewhere along the line let fuckwits believe none of it matters as its only a rehearsal…

Not sure if this is more frightening or just plain sad that such hateful ignorant cunts actually exist…

Forgetting terrorism there is a huge similarity between an American constitutional fundamentalist and an Islamic one, they use a book of a different time to justify their actions from another time in the present day.

Scary thing is, as horrific as this article is, it’s not unusual now. There’s a normalisation and acceptence of racist politics in the US and in Europe. The mid term elections in November are key, as is Robert Mueller’s investigation. Trump will try and remove Mueller’s security clearence soon.

This desensitisation to the extremes is something that inevitably follows periods of social decay and recession… as the weak and the minorities become the easy targets for blame… I also believe it’s accelerating because of the populist attitude of 'smashing the political elite/establishment… for all the injustices and wrongs these twats are responsible for, they thrived on stability so were in some respects also able to keep such extremes in check… folks like Trump, Farage, Johnson etc, have been vary smart, recognising a moment when disruption of that stability might work and the r esultant vacuum can be theirs for the taking… and thus legitimising their more unpalatable views…

Whilst I have some sympathy for ‘smashing the system’, sadly it only creates an opportunity for the strongest to take control, and most often they are not the compassionate and socially responsible that we wish for…

Totally agree with that.
Brexit was as much about kicking the system as it was immigration.
Trump was as much about breaking the Washington machine.
Democracy changes leaders but the machines lobby groups special interests and even entrenched views of elite civil servants had simply got worse since the days of Yes Minister.
The public rebelled, clever people exploited us.
It got worse.
