Cerberus Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 It's very satisfying seeing politicians and people in high places going to jail. They are all corrupt b*****ds. It should happen more often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a representative democracy that’s counterproductive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a representative democracy that’s counterproductive. One of the few (maybe many if I could be bothered thinking about it) things I admire about America is the severe sentences for Politians, Bankers and high end hedge funders /fraudsters who actually get caught red handed. In the UK the old boy's network takes over and they get a suspended sentence or something. Still remember the Guinness boss claiming temporary Alzheimers and getting away with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that it happens as it should in the US either but I agree that in the U.K. we protect the rich and powerful in a way that is shameful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just about every online media outlet has the treatment of immigrant children in the USA as one, if not the, main headline. Even here in the U.K. Fox News doesn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop giving Fox the clicks/ratings and just assume everything they air (Shep Smith and Chris Wallace partial exceptions) and certainly everything they print is pish of the highest order. You'll be long dead the first time they prove you wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the principle of freedom of the press means Fox News should be allowed to say what they like but the inclusion of the word “News” in their name is more of a trades description issue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Quite laughable that the United States gets to act as the moral arbiter of the world when they deceive the desperate parents of immigrant children and intern them in concentration camps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceX launched a secret US military "something" a couple of months ago. Nobody was able to track the "something" after what SpaceX said was a successful launch but made no comment on the deployment. The US military are keeping schtum. If the US are trying to militarise space with stealthy equipment, that would be at the very top level of "secret" and even joking about a "Space Force" after a briefing about it could be a very big thing. Like when he gave away an Israeli agent's location in Syria to the Russian Ambassador and Foreign Minister to impress them about the intelligence he had access to.
