But, these are not the immigrants, but the real Americans. Sadly, pushed into a corner.
Retired to France a few years ago. Politics - centrist. Hate Brexit. Enjoy walking my dog and learning French.

Be careful. You will now be a 'dangerous terrorist'. Check they have not turned off your electricity. ๐ค

I have not been in a Vegas whorehouse. So, I take your advice. But, it is all very 3rd world dictator style.

You're bringing common sense into this discussion. Do you really think he cares or knows?
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Agent and handler. Nothing to see here.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely. We live in France and there are a few Brits who live nearby who do not like immigrants. Bizarre.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
There was not much push back. I tend to think that there are more maga than many on here will accept. Sadly, almost all of the Americans that I spoke to before the election intended to vote orange.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, but acknowledging that would have required voting for a black woman. Racist mysogny!
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Quite strict in France. Age verification needed to look at porn.

Just pointing out American voted for Trump (twice). There are a lot (over 70m) deluded Americans.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
How the hell, did over 70 million people vote for this idiot. His is an embarrassment and statement on the gullibility of the average American.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Have you tried holding an informed sensible discussion with a reform supporter?
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Sadly, Trump is still a useful idiot carrying out Putin's instructions.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
No brainer really, but they won't.

I always thought his sexual issues had been costed into his selection. It looks like, maga don't understand what a rapist as president means.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Funny that none of the clients have faced the courts.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
So, the answer seems to be - do nothing and avoid any scrutiny. I am disgusted by the prevarication on this issue. Meanwhile, the only person in jail is a woman!
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
She won't be for much longer. She has a grave being prepared for her.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
I had to Google. She is less famous than I expected.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Are they even comparable? Serious question. Al Jazeera is an internationally respected news channel.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Sadly, it had been seen by over 1.1m people before you posted a screen shot. Her influence clearly continues amongst the hard of thinking. It is remarkable that anyone gives her the time of day.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
That's the bit I don't get. America knew what he was like and still elected him. A nation lacking common sense and judgement.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
This government has chosen the wrong side in this conflict. Supporting genocide was not a good decision.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair enough, but I worry about the media influencing harsh sentences. The judge can explain all she wants, but 4 yrs for one pretty tree!
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Sentencing today seems to be unrelated to the crime. I accept that there are ranges for sentences, but 4 yrs seems more than the punishment for the crime.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
The petition system is a complete waste of time. It makes you feel your democratic voice is being heard. But, it changes nothing
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
So are lots of other organisations. I have heard the RW wanting the death of the labour party. Similar?
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
He did not. The death of an organisation does not require the death of their assassins
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
An advanced nation trying hard to be a 3rd world country.

I completely agree. The group have got this absolutely correct. Distraction.

I really struggle to cope with how we label terrorism connected to complaining about murder (and worse).
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
It is quite remarkable that someone complaining about killing innocent children is somehow worse than the people killing the children. Through the looking glass.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Hundreds here in the Pays de la Loire.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Sadly, probably correct. But, I would prefer that the attrocity against innocent people was at least discussed and not ignored.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
So you presumably don't, but equally don't like people talking about the issue. The guy at Glastonbury went over the top in his comments, but guess what, it might make a difference.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
So do you support children queuing for food being machine gunned?
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
It might encourage nations such as UK, to stop funding and supporting attrocity.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
I certainly do not support that. I took it from your comment that you wished to extend the 'killing.' But, you have to give them credit for getting the issue onto the news.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not sure I understand your point. You are quite free to shout that if you want. The group were highlighting their concerns. There are others.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
But we now are reminded what a despicable policy is being followed by IDF with the killing of innocents.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
I live in France. Your president is now openly laughed about. We met friends last night for a drink, comparing Trumpisms is now social banter. But, we are also worried for the US.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Such a shame. Lol. ๐
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
What amazes me, is that your democrat politicians seem mesmerised and unwilling to act in support of your constitution.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Your democratic choice. The fact that the US wants to become an autocracy sits with your people. Own it.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

That is just so horrible and inhuman.

I have noted she leans pretty far to the right in her comments on social media. She is not a nice person. Being good at a sport does not mean you are a pleasant person.

UK is not as obvious, but their support is contributing to these murders.

Of course, you have made the assumption that Trump does not start a nuclear war.

G6 has a ring about it.

Really - no leaves on the trees and wearing coats! Bullshit and lies, just like Trump

I had this very argument with a friend recently. I am a pensioner. I am not poor. I don't want or need the winter payment. He wanted all pensioners to get it - waste of money imo.

I thought this was the reason you all had guns. Well trained militia. Perhaps you need to look at your constitution (while you still have one).

Been the case in Scotland for years. England catching up again.

I rather think that future elections in the US, will have that 3rd world taint on them. Do you really believe it was fair?
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
You sound rather sensitive. Your nation's choice is a disaster. I am amazed that so many - 77 million of you are so blind. His impact across the world will be a significant. Own up to the problem.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Assuming you are American, your country chose him. It's called democracy.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
But, you still voted for him. Despite, knowing what he was like.

I am confused about Tesla. Their sales are falling in most countries, but their stock market value seems resilient. There appears a disconnect.

Too late! The checks and balances of the US constitution are broken. Finding a route back to normalcy will be difficult.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Very naive. He has significant support and was elected. He (and the regime) are here to stay. Democracy in the US has essentially gone.

Oh please. The hypocrisy needs calling out.

Err, look around you. Very stupid people voted for him. You are a nation filled with very stupid people.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
If UK is a comparator, it has taken a long time for people to start to admit that Brexit was wrong. I think the Trump cult will take more than 100 days to realise what is happening.

Another American lie. You support him and are doing little to challenge him. Wake up.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Can I remind you. The rest of the world was horrified when you elected him the first time. To elect him again shows that as a nation you have some real issues. We don't trust you.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
That would take a few days to even scratch the surface.

Not worth living after seeing what he is doing to the US.
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair point
Gavin (@gavintc.bsky.social) reply parent
The problem is that they are just so untrustworthy. Would any 'deal' be worth it? We know Trump changes his mind quicker than his nappy (diaper).

We have a few American neighbours here in France. It is impossible to have a sensible discussion about international affairs without them reminding us all how wonderful the US is.

It is also relatively expensive and the volume produced could not replace sugar.
