Because its a form of politics that I despise, tories with a conscience and without the bollocks to be a tory, both stab you in the back.
Liberals don’t actually stand for anything, empty phrases like a better world for all whilst supporting invasions and upping the university fees, they were shat out by the labour party via a breakaway, that says an awful lot to me.
Fuck me, more cliche ridden pseudo political bollocks Barry, You do sound more ‘Student Grant’ rather than Roger Melly
Ha Ha oh I know politics is a little more nuanced than black and white, I simply also believe in principle, something bereft of liberals, they’d sell their remaining principles for power or a stab at it, they sold their dignity years ago.
OK so now you are talking about a political party yes? as opposed the the attitudes and beliefs? Please make up your mind
He cannot be described as an isolationist. An isolationist President would have stayed out of the rest of the world’s business, not make unprecedented trips to North Korea, unprecedented Embassy moves or whatever.
He can most certainly be described as a narcissist. That’s what this whole job has been to him, me, me, me, in the face of all competing evidence.
I said right at the start of his Presidency that he’d probably be bad for America and good for the wider world. Save the secessionists in the civil war, no President has done more to damage the internal integrity of the USA.
Pretty much every President before him since the war has caused more trouble on the world stage
- Obama - Libya, proxy war in Syria
- Bush - Afghanistan and Iraq
- Clinton - Economic sanctions on Iraq
- Bush - Gulf War I - greenlit the invasion, then went back on his word
- Reagan - Nicuragua, Iran-gate, greenlighting Iran Iraq war
- Carter - Began policy of training Muhajadeen
- Ford - Cyprus invasion happens, but just on his watch
- Nixon - Cambodia and Laos
- Johnson - Vietnam
- Kennedy - Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis
- Eisenhower - Korea
As I said, a fucking low bar to clear.
Who will Biden announce as the new leader of Venezuela or have we forgotten about that one now?

Wouldn’t it be great if we could say we’d never get involved in that sort of business?
/looks at sheer numbers of countries in West backing this move and see no real difference between world politics and gangster politics.

two National guardsmen who were due to be at the inauguration have been stood down due to links with far-right groups - fears of an inside job
So, in the situation where Biden got whacked before he was inaugurated, does Kamala Harris still step up or do we have a vacuum or does trump stay in
Harris would step up as the result of the election was ratified by both Houses. Trump is no longer in the picture, no matter what.

A great man wrote this, he describes you perfectly.
“In intention, at any rate, the English intelligentsia are Europeanized. They take their cookery from Paris and their opinions from Moscow. In the general patriotism of the country they form a sort of island of dissident thought. England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always anti-British.”

hahaahahaha - in your rather limited mind, that my be so. But what goes on in your limited mind is of no concern to me. Fill your boots son 
You quote Orwell out of context as well by the way… but that is rather typical of you.
Is your assumption that I ‘worship totalitarianism’ or Russia? after all these days they are somewhat different…
That is you to a tee.
You have more fucked up ideas in your head than Freud could fathom out…
Are they?
I’d like you argue they’re so different.
The totality of communism or of Putinism.
The floor is yours, go on…
No banana son, you wanted to start a ‘thing’ because you got pissed all over by the others on the other threads… just carry on playing by yourself, the sandpit is all yours…
You could say yes that is quite a valid comparison (it is, just look at comparisons made by experts, you could have countered but you didn’t).
You became abusive as your ignorance shone through.
I’d start by looking up the word “total” and then going from there.
If being ignorant means I cant continue this with you, son, I’ll take being considered thick as shit in your eyes any day… its less wearisome.
