A wise FB poster of mine posted -
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre. With the feeling that he was speaking to O’Brien, and also that he was setting forth an important axiom, he wrote:
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”

ICE aren’t Police.
They’re all fucking nuts though.
Ironically this is exactly what the second amendment was designed for. When the govt become such a bunch of cunts, the people could rise up and overthrow it
Mid terms could be really interesting
As has been observed, Jonathan Pie used to be satire…today it’s fact based reporting…
I am not usually one for making hyperbolic statements but
when you listen to the White House mob defend this shooting - left wing media, domestic terroism, professional agitators, it doesn’t half sound like the reasons given by Putin when he crossed into Ukraine- terrorists, Nazis etc
They shot an unarmed white woman sriving an SUV.
They’re gonna need a lot more excuses
She wasn’t unarmed, she was in a car, it is a weapon…
Sod the fact, as with the Venezuelan shooting, they could have shot the tyres

Is there a Nobel War Prize?
And he might just get a deal with Cuba - they’ve lost some 25% of their population in last few years as they stagnate to death.
A dictatorship by any other name…
And a bully too
As we mentioned in our opening post, President Donald Trump says Iran’s leadership has called to “negotiate” following his threats of military action in response to the killing of protesters.
The US president spoke to reporters on board Air Force One, saying a meeting was being set up - but added he may have to act before any meeting.
“They’re starting to, it looks like,” Trump said, when asked if Iran had crossed his “red line” of protesters being killed.
“We’re looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it, and we’re looking at some very strong options. We’ll make a determination.”
Last week, Trump warned Iran that he would intervene if demonstrators were killed.
“I tell the Iranian leaders: you better not start shooting, because we’ll start shooting, too,” he said at a meeting with oil executives in the White House on Friday.
You can watch Trump’s comments in our pinned clip at the top of the page.
Are the Iranians going to reciprocate in Minnesota?

More bullying from the Tango man..
Given the US actions, it makes you wonder if being under China’s wing would be worse than being under the US thumb.
