I'd never heard of him until yesterday so I'm being led by you here. 

Moral of the story: don't be an ally of a thieving, lying, racist, corrupt, rapist.

I have read earlier today that Kirk has been critical of the Epstein cover-up, so perhaps, ironically, they were just about to fall out.

What's Prince Andrew got to do with anything?  Allegedly.

Hilary Clinton shitting herself about Bill.

That sounds a bit like you're blaming him for his assassination I assume you don't mean that.

"Blame" isn't the right word.

Clearly the more you associate yourself prominently with someone who politicises hate for his own benefit and has zero care for the dignity and rights of people he perceives as against him then I'm sure you bring the odds down.

Associating with the mafia is dangerous. I'm not sure why that's a controversial view.

Case in point, viz. Epstein's "suicide".

Ha! Luckily for him, blowjob Bill predates the social media age so just had to ride out the TV news cycle.

She probably was shitting it a bit when Trump campaigned on a mandate to "lock her up", though.

@benjii just saw your legendary comment on emma radacunu thread, lol'd a lot, well done.

So he brought it on himself?

It pisses me off when he adds a laughing emoji on one I've put. It's like some horrible endorsement.

I take it as a badge of honour, and a mark of his acceptance that I have the superior intellect.

It’s what happens when the left throw out terms like racist, fascist and nazi almost willy nilly. 
 

As opposed to the BS spouted by Trump and his acolytes concerning anybody to the left of Attilla the Hun.

I've got to remember the extra "I" in "Benjii" and stopping thinking the posts are coming from...

This is infinitely preferable to what I imagine when reading some people's posts, so I'll take it!

His career choice and associations increased the risk.

I will provide examples:

- Donald Trump: high risk

- Ainsley Harriott: low risk.

A SaintsWeb search on Google shows thread titles of...

"If I see another cooking programme, I'll go postal!"

and

"Extremes you'd go to, to see more of Nigella"

Undermining your risk assessment.

Bad Benjii! Bad! 🙂

What's your thoughts on the fact that aligning yourself with a controversial high profile figure puts you at genuine risk in America of being shot and killed?

Is anyone able to summarise what is wrong with America?

I'm not sure entire neighbourhoods off their face on fent is really a 'liberal policy' as such.

Their belief that the Second Amendment is sacrosanct and immutable, and their misconception that it's text grants them an inalienable right to stockpile lethal firearms at home.

I wasn’t making a political point I was just saying that the proliferation of drugs is a big issue particularly if you go to lots of American cities now. The sad thing is that lots of people of fent were legitimately introduced to it

Well, it's probably still lower risk, overall, than being a poor person there, so you've got to weigh up the pros and cons. These folk tend to monetise their platforms quite well.

Despite having issues, it's a lot less "wrong" than plenty of other countries.

Pre-2020 I’d have agreed, but after the insurrection attempt, looking at how Covid ran through their health system, especially in GOP states, and overturning of Roe Vs Wade it’s more subjective now on what people’s own political outlooks are.

Parts of it are still in decent shape but parts of it, especially in the south, can be worse than many middle income countries around the world.
