Yet another reason to like Tim Walz. His personal vehicle is a 1979 International Harvester Scout II . . .

Dog bless New Yorkers :rofl:

New York Mayor Eric Adams heckled mercilessly. The indictment is unbelievable, he was so grossly corrupt and too stupid to even try to hide it. It’s not like there weren’t alarms during his campaign over his ethics, so I guess the voters got what they wanted. Why are major city Mayors worldwide so uniformly shit ?

BTW, turn off close captioning, it’s not even close to what the heckler is yelling :rofl: The text on the video is correct.

I remember an interview years ago with (I think) Neil Kinnock and he was complaining about the way hecklers were being handled. He was saying that hecklers used to be engaged and argued with but now they are shut up. The Labour Party was rooted in union protest and would happily argue things with audience members or hecklers.

Giving that corrupt twat zero credit but he stood there and let him finish without having the guy arrested

In the UK some pimply kid heckles about Gaza and he’s dragged by the neck from the room within seconds by a bunch of hired thugs.

This is one of the things that pisses me off in modern politics is the refusal of politicians to engage and argue with the public.

There is an argument that they are there to engage with a room full of people not have a one to one with someone who normally doesn’t want a debate, just wants to shout abuse.

That wasn’t a public meeting though, it was a by invite party conference to hail a new Government. He wasn’t heckling, he was protesting and got the headlines he wanted.

It does rile me when we deny public peaceful protest though. Such as the republicans at charlie boys crowning or the anti war in iraq protesters at wooten basset.

Just when you thought American lunacy couldn’t get any worse…

So they ban abortions, then complain there aren’t more teen pregnancies?! That could be due to education, awareness and contraception being available. (
Look for a ban on contraception coming along?)

Completely overlooking the fact that abortions won’t go away, and that the only thing being banned are safe abortions. This gets worse when considering that estimates of numbers of abortions happening in the US without medical supervision are up by 40% since Roe vs Wade was overturned. (This includes morning-after pills no longer available via usual medical prescription; pregnancies are being terminated by using pills acquired through the mail.) These figures are just that - estimates - as there is unlikely to be any conclusive record available…

I thought it was the Calvinists who banned fornication standing up as it might lead to dancing?

It’s not real you know, but it is amusing that it’s so hard to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the insanity of American politics.
