He didn't comment on any medical condition, he was totally unaware that it existed. If you responded to a poster with "you need glasses", without knowing they had impaired vision, or "run away little man" when they have achondroplasia, would you have been taking the piss out of them on an anonymous, text based, forum ?
-
Only if he knew about your condition and was making his point on that basis. I suspect that many on this forum have medical conditions, but as we are effectively "blind" to them unless we have contact out in the real world, we have no understanding that sometimes comments might need to be toned down.

Do Agform export to the US ?

Do Newcastle have an academy, and if so do they have a similar dispensation as you go a very long way out into the North Sea if you travel 90 minutes East of St James' Park.

Didn't he write The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miserables ?

Isn't this situation exactly what our amazing trans-Atlantic, post-Brezlxit trade deal supposed to address ?
-
He could argue, as some in reality did, that the enemy of the US was Japan whilst staying clear of the European theatre. One of Hitler's big mistakes was to declare war on the United States in the immediate aftermath of Pearl Harbour, before the US had decided to join the war against Germany, thereby making such a decision a no-brainer.

So somebody known for spouting shit is now involved in selling nappies. Somewhat appropriate.

In Canada, the Premier of British Columbia has said that his province will impose targetted tariffs on goods originating in Republican voting states.

There appears to be underway a mass purge of prosecutors and investigators involved in cases against Trump and prosecutions of Jan 6th rioters:

I put this down to having the grandkids round this afternoon and teaching them to sing OWTS.

Plenty of top class strikers have been 'limited' in other aspects of their play and other areas of the pitch.

Will Donnie blame the Philadelphia plane crash on the fact it was carrying Mexicans ?

The head of the FAA resigned on inauguration day. Was this because he tried to fine SpaceX and suspend it's launches for breaches of safety regulations ?.......

"....substantive equality", seems quite clear, although we are talking about 'American english'. When it mentions 'equity' I am certain it doesn't refer to fiscal liquidity.
-
"Equity refers to concepts of fairness and justice, such as fair compensation and substantive equality. More specifically, equity usually also includes a focus on societal disparities and allocating resources and "decision making authority to groups that have historically been disadvantaged", and taking "into consideration a person's unique circumstances, adjusting treatment accordingly so that the end result is equal." Do you agree that Trump was totally out of order ?
-
Certainly boosted the sale of Mars bars.
-
But it seems reasonably clear that Trump is simply crushing the entire equality program because for some obscure reason he doesn't like it, and the outburst at yesterday's press conference was disgraceful, as I am sure you would agree.

Close, Trump says it was diversity in the recruitment of Air Traffic Controllers, specifically people with disabilities and psychological problems.

Trump's nominee for Head of the IRS is not an accountant, has no experience of administration of tax, and no experience of running a large organisation, ( the IRS has over 80 thousand employees and a budget of several billion dollars ). He is, however, an auctioneer and former estate agent, who is also a part time professional poker player. On 3 occasions he has supported a Bill to abolish the IRS and replace it, and the entire tax structure, with an across the board 30% sales tax, ( an idea originally proposed by the Church of Scientology ). He is also alleged to have actively promoted making "dodgy" claims for COVID tax credits as a way of getting tax back from the IRS. Trump's new nominee for Attorney-General, after the last one was rejected by the Senate, is a former AG for the state of Florida. Back in 2013 she was invited to join her state in investigations supporting a multi-state class action fraud case against Trump University. Purely coincidentally, she received a personal donation to her re-election campaign of 25 thousand dollars in the form of a cheque signed by DT. Within a couple of days she decided that Florida would not join the complaint. ( For clarity, Trump also donated to Kamala Harris, AG for California at the time, and she also declined to investigate further ).

It's a plan to make it less likely that Just Stop Oil will turn up to throw tomato soup over the Mona Lisa.

"We fired our guns, the British kept a'comin, There wasn't as many as there was a while ago, We fired once more and they began a'runnin, Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of America". An entire generation of US kids are going to go on holiday to Acapulco and Cancun and wonder where on Earth the Gulf of Mexico might be.
