I suspect it will remain south of NSW.

Not according to projected geological studies. It may become part of New Zealand.

I'm talking about when they are talking about Putin "saving the Ukrainians from the nazis".

The gotcha from canada doesn't really change anything. Everyone is coping flak because one merkin made a mistake.

In the eyes of the RWNJs Trudeau can do no right because climate change, covid, lockdowns and he calls Trump a gimp.

No, Trudeau can do no right because he is lying two faced piece of shit

*In my opinion of course - cos we are allowed to have opinions and all


The point of this Nazi getting a wonderful round of applause is that it showcases the ridiculous jumping blind in to support the latest cool thing with zero f**king clue. Oh yeah he is a Ukrainian, so he must be a hero - yay!

So, ol’ mate Dan threw the towel in, eh? Let’s see where Victoria goes from here.

Hope the door hits him and knocks him down the stairs on the way out ..... another lying piece of shit jumping ship

It's a little bit ironic how Russel Brand started really going after American politics,media and big Pharma companies and getting a real following then all of a sudden rape allegations come out from 10+yrs ago.
Not sure what to make of it tbh.

Rogan isn't as aggressive with his words.

Trial by (social) media is the thing these days. Personally, I never had too much time for RB. I took him as a half baked actor turned to big mouthed social media warrior. But, I don’t like to see him or anybody else convicted before they have had the chance to defend themselves.

While I agree, you have to give him credit for f**king up a state over such a prolonged period of time and then walk away with the golden sceptre in hand. The only part that is missing in this fairytale is that he didn’t get to marry Queen Anastasia.

I reckon Brand was an enormous sleeze and wouldn't be at all surprised what he did in the past. Don't know if he is a bit reformed now???

But yeah, its hardly surprising he is being taken down now.
Interesting thing is there was no police involvement (until the last day I believe) in the campaign - it was a media witch hunt. And it would seem the UK govt are actively involved, lobbying social media to go after him - of course youtube piles in - guilty until proven innocent.
So yeah, pretty f**kin obvious he has ruffled feathers and is getting taken down.

Just the timing of it all. He was getting very LOUD the last 6mths. Then these allegations from when? Between 10-17yrs ago all flood in.

And the problem with wokeyism is that it distracts people from the central issues and is NIMBY.

This is where I slither my way over to the right and agree with them about the prevalence of imposters on the broad left.

Swaying along to blue sky mine and clapping out of time.

Liberal aint left. It's liberal, It shits me when merkins use them interchangeably. But yeah, merkins who are liberals and call themselves leftists whilst they support the ascendancy of capital should rot in hell.

 

[Bandwagon]

And if you want a proper breakdown...

It's cool how you can link straight to "banned video" just like you can with video that isn't banned.

What did Trudeau do to make him a lying POS ?

The investigation for the story has been a lot more than six months in the making.

The Sunday Times published allegations this weekend that Brand had sexually assaulted four women after a years-long investigation into claims about his behaviour in collaboration with Channel 4’s Dispatches.

BBC ‘urgently looking into issues raised’ by Russell Brand allegations

Corporation says accusations span a number of years, including 2006 to 2008, when comedian worked for Radio 2

www.theguardian.com

Now it might be that some merkin has a bit of an axe to grind or whatever, but this story has been quite a long time in the making, so without doubt is has nothing to do with what Brand has been doing over the past six months or so.

 

[Bandwagon]

it was a media witch hunt.

This is as premature as casting him as guilty.

 

[Gronk]

So yeah, pretty f**kin obvious he has ruffled feathers and is getting taken down

So these women are not real ?

Why Women Can Take Years to Come Forward With Sexual Assault Allegations (Published 2018)

Some common reasons for doubt, like a long delay before speaking out or a hazy recall of some details, are exactly what experts say they would expect to see after a sexual assault.

What's obscene there is not the difference in amounts so much, but how differently they have grown over the last few decades.

 

[Bandwagon]

Nah, all that secret knowledge would be far too much a burden for me to bear.

could be that a UK investigation into him around the time of #metoo started to bear some fruit and that they are extra careful in the UK in regards to defamation laws

either that or he was getting too close to the real truth so the derp state had to make him disappear

Thats quite a powerful door. Could do with that door in our forward pack.

That’s true as well.

Capital finds a way to increase financial inequality.

It’s strange to me why so many people are prepared to put up with it.
