I wonder how Nancy Pelosi is getting on with assisting the authorities with their enquiries...

[Sir Tigger KC]

I wonder how Nancy Pelosi is getting on with assisting the authorities with their enquiries...

I read that her laptop was stolen during the 'insurrection' last week. 

Dunno if that's true or not, but if it was I doubt they'd admit it anyway! 

[Doctor Gollum]

It is true. She released a statement about it not being used for anything of interest

No statement of her whereabouts beyond nominating a stand in during her absence. If she was ill or worse, it would be all over the news, and I can't believe for a second that she would miss a single second of this process.

I stand corrected, she has been giving Nancy Pelosi badges to all the troops outside the Capitol

10 republicans voted to impeach, hope they sleep tight tonight

Does than mean he won't be the president any more and DG's out of a job too

DG will always have a job, trawling the darkest corners of boob tube for the truth

They'll be fine.


The Antifa Covert Cuddle Squad will man(woman? child? LGBTQWBFDHKHDFDFGK*£$!) carefully installed Gatling guns and scented candles around their properties to save them from the disappointed MAGA fans

I think they'd be more likely to cunningly disguise themselves as Trumpy/MAGA types and start throwing Molotov Cocktails at their properties.

Its pure Socialism. If it were introduced in the U.S. it would be a very big signal that they have won, and Capitalism is on life support.

It's more like the traditional definition of liberalism. Please note the lower case l. But this is what happens when people use what used to be firmly defined terms as very loose insults. This is also true for right wing terms; Nazi and Fascist were two very different movements in two very different countries, yet they're thrown around as synonyms.


Let's not forget that much of the US Democratic Party would be considered true blue Conservatives(note the capital C) in this country.


Capitalism will be superseded, just like a long line of political theories that were once considered radical.

The state paying people wages as a step forward from having a welfare system to take care of those most in genuine need is not traditional liberalism. Its nothing short of Marxism. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need".
The U.S. Democratic party was similar to our new very pale blue conservative party (note the lower case c) but not any more. In the last 10 to 15 years it has moved further and further to the left, and is now probably further left than the post Corbyn Labour party.
Capitalism cant really be superseded. Its as old as the first occasion one person had something another person wanted.
People who have thought themselves to be so clever that they could come up with a better system have come close to destroying civilisation, but people somehow still believe in it.
Thats why I finf it terrifying.

Heaven preserve us from the sincere reformer who knows what's good for you and, by heaven, he's going to make you do it whether you like it or not.

Apparently a Republican Congresswoman (Congressperson?) plans to serve Articles of Impeachment on Joe Biden in the House of Representatives the day after his inauguration on the grounds that he possibly profited from his son's business dealings in Ukraine and China! 

It looks like US politics will continue to be good entertainment for some time to come!

Which will immediately be voted down.

Would you make your mind up? First it was socialism, now it's marxism. They aren't the same!


And weren't you arguing about the need for democracy on another thread, which isn't really compatible with the admiration for capitalism here. I won't mention the various shades of capitalism.....


A look through history should convince anyone that no system is going to last for ever.  Charles I belief in the divine right of kings didn't stop the axe severing his head; 75 years ago the British Empire was still the worldwide political power, but look how long it lasted. And each of the prevalent systems lasts for a shorter time period than previous ones.


So what will replace capitalism? Who knows. And I don't care, because no system is going to replace it in the next thirty years, let alone prove to durable.

It didn't do The Beatles productivity any harm.

Yes....they were into this sort of thing around 1967/68.......and put out some good stuff.

Much better than the early "She loves you yeah yeah yeah" crap.
