Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week. This is a subject I know something about: Less than a year ago, Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate me, and then tried to criminally indict me for a 90 second video, exercising basic free speech. The same free speech you’re exercising now, lying about what I said in this clip. If not for an anonymous group of grand jury members standing up for America's laws, I’d be criminally indicted for sedition. President Trump has turned the government against people, with raucous support from you and virtually all D.C. Republicans. So spare us the manufactured outrage.
America must be a place where the rule of law still matters. Those laws should apply to everyone equally. If you have aided in the corrupt use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to benefit the President or his family, or you have violated the law in order to carry out guidance from the President, you should be held accountable. And given how rampant that corruption appears to the average American, people looking to work for his Administration should realize that while the Supreme Court has granted the President immunity, it has not done the same for those who do illegal things at his behest.
It is absolutely disgraceful to threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country.

EU:
Folks tell me it is about 'Peace in Europe'
Seems to me that NATO (founded 1947) has done a great job of that.
Far better than EU (1992)
And preceded it by 45 years.

Getting sick of my timeline cluttered up with MAGA yank wankers slagging off Zelensky and Ukraine.
How about Russia invading the US and taking Alaska? Would you accept that happening?
Slava Ukraine!🇺🇦

Question of the day ??
Conservatives want the FULL text of the trade deal that Carney rejected made public -
He said that he would brief opposition leaders Monday ( after the referendum?)
Should he release it ?
1) yes -we deserve to know
2) no -keep it secret

European Union:
I am really struggling to see how petty rules about the power of vacuum cleaners and the bend in bananas contribute to the 'Peace in Europe' that Remainers attribute to the EU (founded 1993).
Can anyone explain how having more powerful hoovers would lead to war?
Beats me!

NATO has ensured peace in Europe
You have made a false equivalence with sensible rules made by the EU and peace In Europe
But do you think the rules that you mentioned are sensible or not
Seems a bit odd to be scared of a vacuum

Imagine being upset having rules on food quality
Imagine being upset about efficiency
Do you know that toilet cisterns have shrunk and the flow redesigned for better efficiency to not waste water, are you also scared of that?

Every bureaucracy has to justify it's existence. Imagine what would happen if a bureaucracy announced that it's job was done, and the bureaucracy could dissolve & everyone be laid off? The career-safe move is to do scope-creep & increase inefficiency so you can get more $.

I don’t think you are in any position to determine what I think based on me pointing out flaws in NATO policies and actions / inactions. Why the necessity to pick sides ?

Bosnia wasn’t part of NATO either, it seems like policing actions are only convenient when it suits the political agenda and not to do with saving people 🤷♂️

Our Remain friends are starting to see the light
On trade the EU is just a gang. Ready to be nasty to other gangs.
Let's not pretend it was anything else
We were one of the twins, thus triplets or whatever the right word is for the number of members at any particular time.
We were in a gang.
One of the biggest gangs in the world.
The gang was democratic.
The gang looked after its own.
We helped write the rules on non gang members

Why then didn’t NATO intervene in the Donbass when Ukraine was shelling its own citizens since 2014 ? 🤷♂️

Want to rejoin EU?
Here are the areas where we must sacrifice our democratic liberties to them. Where EU law is supreme over any national law
The 'acquis communitaire'.
Happy that all these things would now be outside our Parliamentary control?
I'm not

Many Remainers argue that the politics don't matter. Just economics.
That they'd be happy to sacrifice democracy for a hypothetical 0.5% on growth in a decade.
Maybe they will sell their vote that cheaply.
But I won't.
The EU question is very simple
Do you want to be ruled by people you can kick out?
Or by people you can't?
There is no more to it than that
And Tony Benn described it well.
