Weaponising the judiciary - always happened although to be fair Trump speeded it up.

Comparing someone to the nazis 😂😂😂😎

Very very funny thank you 

The 19th irony-o-meter he's ruined.

You are a bright lad. I do not believe it is beyond your comprehension that many millions around the world are sick to the back teeth of creeping socialism seeking to control the way we think, the way we act and the way we vote.

I'd suggest capitalism & right wing politics are more coercive/controlling than socialism.

Give it a rest Ian. You know full fucking well you won't shut me down by trying to ridicule. I didn't compare anyone to the nazi's unless you are suggesting I should with you? Pointing out that the legal system was taken over by the state and used to eliminate opposition. Putin is doing it too. Possibly beyond your comprehension?

You don't agree that using the judicial system in this way is setting a dangerous precedent? More fool you then.

 Now give over C. Chairman Mao, Josep Stalin, Pol Pot - need I go on? The biggest butchers, murderers and hijackers of legal systems in human history. Even beyond Ani's beloved Adolf in some cases.

'It's what the nazis did' is comparing someone to the nazis is nt it ? 
The point on judicial system is that it is not a precedent because it has been done before, as per the link I provided.

History? Still plenty of right-wing despots to go at, but I'm talking present-day.

No. It's a statement of fact. What you then decide to with that fact is entirely up to you.

You can't possibly be so naive. You don't think that the 'draining of the swamp' statements mobilised an army of faceless bureaucrats fearful of being potted? 

Just detach yourself from visceral hatred for a second and consider whether such flimsy charges would have been brought against any other US citizen. There is a broad church of sinister allies out to get him at all costs. For that reason alone I hope he prevails and gets his chance to bore it right up the unsavoury bastards. I have always said he's a nutjob but that's what is needed to maintain balance when there's an even greater nutjob driving the great bear. Putin was always going to chance his luck when the 'worlds policeman' fell into the hands of a geriatric somnambulist.

Flat Earth? Must you always exaggerate in the extreme? I must have pulled you up on this a billion times.

You can try and twist it as much as you want but if someone is doing something and you say 'that is what the Nazis did' That is a comparison. It is not saying someone is a nazi but it is a comparison.

Neither of us will ever win this debate matey so let's leave it as an honourable draw. 

The one thing I do know (unless polarisation results in civil war somewhere) is that the usual cycle will repeat again and again. Frustration with the blues after long periods in power leading to an urge for change allowing the reds in who are then in most cases jettisoned at the earliest opportunity to get the blues back in. (obviously swap red and blue around when it comes to the US).

I'm not trying to twist anything other than what Chubby Checker suggested. Over and out.

Folk are selling pre gay bud light at inflated prices on eBay

Folk are probably buying it as well

The advertising campaign using the trans person has seen a $5bn fall in the parent compay's stock value since.

Saw an interview with the woman behind the campaign and she is way off understanding the core base and where the sales are predominantly.

It has bit them on the arse, and it was almost inevitable that an alternative company would look to make hay.

Whether folk think it is cringeworthy or not, it is nothing like as desperate and pathetic as that by the influencer.
