Trump has shown time and time again that, like all five year old bullies, he responds only to strength.

Because they don't consider the kidnap victims to be human.

It's happening again.

"Just let him have the Sudetenland, he won't invade Poland."

"Just let him have Greenland, he won't invade Canada."

Hah, no. We in Europe actually learned our lesson on that one.

Fuck off Mr Trump.

Yes. But mostly constitutional monarchs who do not run the country.

And even in countries like the UK, where we do have a king, they remember what happened to Charles I at Whitehall.

Except it's not so they can deport those illegally in the UK. That can already be done.

It's so they can treat the rest of us how they treat refugees.

So they now have to do the same for the Greens, the Lib Dems, and others, or they're biased and in breach of standards.

Ooh, I'm adopting that term immediately.

US press would appear (from the outside, admittedly) to be complicit and/or censored.

Only when it agrees with him.

The police making the arrest should be disciplined for wrongful arrest.

But they won't be.

Who are funded by public donations...

Gawd, he's such a bell end...

One day there's be a courtroom for little Rubio.

And he'll learn how 'only obeying orders' goes across.

Given what certain leaders are trying to do, just to say...

Funny how all these Brexit types have changed their tunes when faced with the reality of being a non-EU country, and having to go through all the passport checks that non-EU countries do...

🎥 "One man, one vote is an established principle. It must not be supplanted by one man and his money."

Sir John Major speaking at the @instituteforgovernment.org.uk earlier today, making the case for reducing the influence of big money in our politics.

Paramilitary loyal to the ruling regime...

And Gestapo.

Pillock.

Of course they are.

Cos Donny's against war till he can see personal gain in it.

Trump lacks the empathy to do so (not a recent development).
He also lacks the guts to do so (also not a recent development).

Yes.
They're also deliberately bouncing them off the ground in other footage.
That makes the trajectory of the bullet completely uncontrolled and unpredictable.

But they're "only following orders".

(Cos that worked so well last time.)

Added to which, people are acting like rubber bullets are harmless, when they're far from it. They can smash bones.

It's notable that the language being used about "liberating" LA is the same rhetoric used by Putin to justify his invasion of Ukraine.

He clearly took aim directly at her and fired.
Even my husband (former British army) watched it once and said that.

Or maybe it's Labour responding to Labour voters, who've been vocal about the issue.

What appears to be happening is that they were slagged off by supporters (including you) for the cut, and now they're being slagged off by the same people for listening and admitting they were wrong.

This is the stuff Anne Frank wrote about.

I mean, I'd be irritated by it, because I vote against it, but i would not be surprised by it.
And I'd place the blame squarely on the morons who chose to have it happen.

And that's how you can tell the difference between a police force, and a paramilitary loyal to the regime.

Paramilitary loyal to the current US regime...
