Quote from: Stottie Girl on April 16, 2026, 10:52:50 AMDon't wear a MAGA hat and you will be fine......I think!

Quote from: Emma1017 on April 16, 2026, 10:47:58 AMI agree SG.  I will be in London in June. Maybe I should apply for political asylum...

Quote from: Stottie Girl on April 16, 2026, 09:41:22 AMDon't appologise for that clown Emma, you didn't put him there. I mean, most people thought he was a bit nuts but I'm not sure anyone expected him to be this unhinged. I'm surprised there isn't laws to get rid of someone when they are clearly loosing mental capacity.

America - Pick better next time! Trump-Biden-Trump I mean, come on! Are you trolling us?

Whoever comes in after this idiot is going to have one hell of a job regaining trust among allies, we're probably talking decades here by now. The more we see of Trump and his minions the more we see this goes far deeper than the orange sh*t gibbon. I'm worried when he's not around anymore are we going to get someone the same or worse.

European nations are beginning to just turn their backs to him and ignore him. There is no pandering to him.  The King should NOT be going over there. It sends totally the wrong message!

Sorry Davina, wrong place for a political rant!

Quote from: Emma1017 on April 16, 2026, 05:07:52 AMAs an American, I want to apologize for the orange idiot. I am the half that didn't vote for him.  My friends that did are suddenly very quiet.

I hope they are ashamed and embarrassed.  The results in Hungary gives me hope for our next election.

Quote from: Charlotte Kitty on April 16, 2026, 04:35:06 AMFuel is ridiculous at moment. Thankfully I'm using petrol buy still costing a lot more to get to work. Now they're talking about this inflation affecting interest rates just as my mortgage is up for renewal near end of year. Orange man is basically messing up the world.

In my defence I did apologise and noted that it was the wrong place for rants Danielle.

See this is what I mean, I can't keep my big gob shut. Sorry if I have offended anyone. I will try to refrain from voicing my opinion.

I don't think anyone is offended...just slotted the conversation into a more appropriate area. No harm done, we're all good 🙂

It's always me though isn't it. I'm always involved when there is a warning. Me and my stupid big mouth as usual! At least I wasn't alone this time I suppose.

It's not a bad thing...your passionate about it! Unlike me who's just resigned to the idea that none of it will ever be right. It takes all sorts, we all have our vices. You go politics, I go suicidal rants! Not many of us here or anywhere are perfectly level I don't think

I agree that any political rants should be posted in this area.

It was not meant to be political just stating a fact.

I agree, Davina, but this site is geared toward reducing friction, regardless of the righteousness of what is said.

My sensitivity to politics, like everyone else, is at a boiling point.  The "Jesus/Doctor" image, and the current bathroom law in Idaho, have me raw.

I agree with Danielle, let's keep our own blogs as a safe haven for civil discourse, and rant it all here!

I believe political rants should focus on politics and policy. We should not be shaming people for physical traits. The site has never been a place for fat shaming, kink shaming, or really attacking anyone personally.

None of us want to be shamed for our physical appearance, that courtesy should be extended to others. In the vein of glass houses, I entered "orange concealer" into the site search. It came back with nearly a hundred hits, mostly advising people to use orange makeup to cover blue beard shadow. So maybe we should leave that stone on the ground rather than throw it. 😉

Hugs, Devlyn

Other than referring to a certain gentleman as the orange one (which is common parlance all over the world now) I don't believe anyone has shamed or attacked anyone for their appearence. If they have then I missed it. But quite frankly I dont give a damn about insulting that poor excuse for a human being.

However, I've had enough of getting into trouble on here and somehow managing to offend everybody. This was never my intention, so I will keep my political opinions to myself in future as they obviously aren't welcome.

I'm sure you all have an inkling how I feel by now anyway so I will leave it at that.

We have areas like this one for ranting and expressing opinions. That isn't a problem at all. But as Devlyn pointed out, it needs to be about the behavior, not physical appearance. About policy, not traits or mannerisms.

Your opinions are very welcome here.

There is certainly plenty of reason to rant about politics.

Instead, let's have a laugh.
