[Politics] Donald Trump, US President

[aolstudios]

I think Starmer knows how to play him. I guess all those years in the legal world develops this part of one’s character.

Exactly. Could be crucial, if a little nauseating

 

[aolstudios]

I don't believe Trump had the mental capability to play such games. Starmer has just flashed a bit of the UK's cleavage at him and he's now going to buy us drinks all night, and the sycophants and yes men he's surrounded himself with this time aren't going to tell him otherwise.

Yep

 

[Brian Munich]

Hmmm a lot on here with this view. More likely we are getting played by tango man who holds all the cards....and let's not forget we need them much more than they need us.

Bullshit. He was like a little kid receiving his Jim'll Fix It when that invite was produced from Starmer's inside pocket.

I would say that Ukraine need him. Russia aren't about to take over the UK.

We need a trade deal with them big time. And we definitely don't want ridiculous tariffs.

 

[ROSM]

We need an economic deal not a trade one. Remember who has the surplus here! We are in a very different space. But working on science, research, ai etc is a deal we need to support the govt growth agenda. Peter Kyle (hove mp) has that remit

Exactly. Could be crucial, if a little nauseating

At times, it was a bit cringe. But he laid down some important markers...one being that history cannot be on the side of the aggressor and that Russia's aims cannot be achieved.

Something mentioned in Sky coverage yesterday that I was unaware of was that we lease our Trident nuclear weapons from the US.

I thought they were ours

No, they're US

I get your point but I'm sure they aberdonians who are just 50miles away may have an issue with your last statement

But apparently he ‘owns Aberdeen’ so as his tenants, their views are not really relevant

 

[DIFFBROOK]

No, they're US

The missiles are bought from US - same production line as theirs. Maintained by US. The Warheads though are designed and manufactured at the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston.

I would have loved to have been at the Starmer de-brief after that meeting. I wonder if the words batshit, crazy, unhinged or doolally were used

 

[happypig]

State visit ! Only a complete idiot would fall for a stunt like tha.....

Oh

The amount of Civil Service work that must have gone into that visit. War gaming, murder boards, briefing on every conceivable question and scenario. It would have been full of nervous anticipation.

Im sure that Starmer, Lammy, Mandelson all had a huge sigh of relief, but Number 10 and Foreign Office staff will all have several drinks tonight..........and so they should.

Oh

Starmer to MI5: right the idiots agreed. Let’s get the hookers and cameras in place … oh make sure theirs at least one ladyboy or Dasreich if he's available.

Starmer will be wanting the ladyboy all to himself

Not sure. Starmer comes across as a little dull, but I wouldn't have applied any of those epithets to him really.

 

[Eeyore]

Yes, I'm rather thankful that we have dull at the moment. Our political institution needs a good helping of dull in the present world.

Dull, Serious and intelligent. Not a good combination for a politician these days, apparently.

Vote Rylan

 

[schmunk]

Starmer will be wanting the ladyboy all to himself

Why wouldn't you? It's literally THREE (3) drinks in one.

The mirror is labour.
(& the guardian is controlled by corbynites)

Well yes, that was pretty much my point (apart from the mirror). i.e. all the tory rags are saying all is well.
