Someone in DC (besides Musk) is annoyed by the ANC and has told Donny about it.

Is it potentially in part due to the ANC's stance on Palestine/Israel? The Israeli lobby are very meticulous in identifying opponents and then strategically going after them.

Not ruling it out completely but ...

Sums the dumb cunt up..

BBC looked into the crosses, which apparently aren't even there any more as it was a temporary action to highlight the issue, not even a permanent memorial. https://www.bbc.com/news ...

I don't think Rupert did well Oom.

SAPS is run by central government, not the province or the city. The DA has consistently said this is part of the problem with gang violence, that they cannot control it because that needs SAPS which means the ANC ...

It's a shitshow. Reforms are needed. The staus quo is not sustainable and the fact the finance minister was even considering increasing VAT to try and fill the hole in the budget just shows how desperate things are. Growth is too slow, the tax base is shrinking and unemployment keeps rising and 15 ...

Sheesh, it's going to to be tough to respond to that post because there's a bunch of interesting ideas going to various directions. All interesting discussions in their own right and all valid points, but each almost justifies and post or even thread of their own.
:lol:

It's been awhile since ...

The Trump administration is stuffed full of conspiracy theorists, idiots, whores (metaphorical or otherwise) and out and out white supremacists. I wouldn't credit them with any insight into SA politics beyond, "Why can't they have apartheid back, things were going great back then!"

And I reckon ...

You are over thinking it.

You reckon they're just out of control loonies?

This has been coming for awhile though. Biden wasn't happy with SA's stance on Israel/Iran/Ukraine-Russia. There were rumblings in the first Trump presidency but it never went anywhere.

Some of the SA NGOs that ...

And _Os_ , whatever the ANC may or may not have been up to, Trump didn't look to shine the light on them, he has fixed the idea in his head that millions of whites are being machine gunned. He was challenged on it by a reporter amd absolutely melted down. He is a senile piece of shit.

That ...

While I agree that the DA Reforms are the right way to go, now due to Trump's influence on proceedings, the ANC has no way of ever implementing them without losing face. If they even hint at some of those reforms they will now be attacked from the left by MK and EFF for being America's lapdog. That ...

On what charges? He's already been to court on the issue and the High Court and Constitutional Court and it was judged to be protected political speech. I don't personally agree with the rulings, but should we keep taking swings at Malema and missing? He has become less relevant in each ...

But instead we have the hard way, the humiliating way, the way with unnecessary damage. Vorster dumped Rhodesia because he was forced by the US. Die Groot Krokodil didn't start implementing reforms out of the goodness of his heart or because his supporters demanded it, he was forced by the US ...

The messaging indicates the ANC are going to keep saying everything is "misinformation" and not change what they're doing. Which means they keep escalating against a super power.

Yup. Really stupid to keep going in the same direction.

I'd like to see Malema arrested and questioned for 8 ...

Just like with Zuma, calling out Trump's lies hasn't seemed to work. But it really is all you can do.

As much as ...

I thought Steenhuisen and Els were both excellent.

Steenhuisen was good from any perspective (DA, ANC, neutral viewer). Which is very amusing to me.

Els isn't a politician and went off script, definitely not what the ANC wanted, "the ANC have had 31 years, two wrongs don't make a right ...

Was what Trump claiming actually true?

Chanel 4 news here seemed to suggest it was pretty much lies and conflation.

Which parts? There was a lot being thrown out. The parts about genocide were not true, but as I said that's not in the EO or anything anyone has said before Trump ran with it ...

The hosing was richly deserved.

MEANWHILE IN AMERICA Trump gives Ramphosa the Zelensky treatment in the Chair Of Belittlement.

I'll put this up for you guys, as you know my takes aren't coming from some dodgy position.

The ANC has a tired old trick when they face strong opposition, they stop arguing honestly and start arguing ...

Trump: "Dim the lights, play the Malema video, whilst you watch here's some photos of Boer dead, and what about all your racist laws. Apartheid was bad, really bad, aren't you doing the same thing in reverse?".

Steenhuisen is the only one actually managing to inject some facts into proceedings and stop the rampaging Trump bull briefly. The utter humiliation of the ANC, they now need the DA guy from Durban North to save them, fuck me.

Trump is absolutely fucking mauling Ramaphosa and the ANC, brutal. He's throwing the photos of the Boer dead into his face.

Targeted sanctions are coming.

Their package is: support for 1 year including help finding work, green card in that year, citizenship in 5 years.

If someone wants to move to the US it doesn't come better than that.
Completely agree, I just don't see why anybody would. I understand that they feel that anywhere would be ...

Joel Pollak is a good person to follow if you want a sane description of the US view. He does video interviews with BizNews

Biznews is a good listen. They try to remain centered and neutral. But let's be honest. Anc just adds fuel to the fire.

Julius is kakking himself. If the ANC fails to ...

I like that the internet is calling the "The Voetsekkers" and their journey "Die Groot Tsek".

Fuck them and fuck Trump. Making a mockery of the refugee and asylum system that was put in place to assist people fleeing war zones, war lords and genocide.

Going to be fun watching them spin these ...

Err, the specialist he was seeing was one Wouter Basson aka Dr Death? A Google reveals he is practicing again and it is likely him. I would be absolutely shitting myself if I rocked up at hospital and found myself in the highly efficient care of Dr Death.

So much that happens in SA is frankly ...

Joel Pollak is a good person to follow if you want a sane description of the US view. He does video interviews with BizNews and SA Jewish Report, if you cannot be bothered to read. His family is from SA (Lithuanian Jewish background), they left in the 1980s. He worked for Tony Leon as a speech ...

Yeeb, how do you actually intend to get rid of "pool shitters"? And who are they exactly, just all foreigners, only some foreigners, some British people included?

You thought Brexit would and it did not. It did the opposite.

You also seem to claim the structure of the UK economy is fine and ...

If you actually read the source of your data you would find the bit where they say that net movements +/- 100k per year are deemed to have no effect on overall county demographics due to being under 0.02% of the population and immaterial to the vagaries of normal birth and death rates across ...

[following the big upward trend started by (checks some weirdos graph) Blair circa 1998.

Last try using a graph for you.

I've cut the graph so that it stops in 1997, the skyscrapers to the right don't cloud the picture. That section from 1979-1997 is clearly different from all the red lines ...

Ramaphosa's addiction to EWC is just insane. Signed that into law without even telling the DA he was going to do it, which has forced the DA to take the ANC to court when they're both in government together. Ramaphosa also now has the US breathing down his neck.

This Ramaphosa guy is a domkop ...

Surely everyone thought that the main reason Brexit was voted for was immigration.

Most Brexiters (but not Yeeb tbf, it was always "pool shitters" with him) would argue the point if you said it was about immigration. They would say you were calling them racist or whatever and it was actually ...

I feel dirty backing up Yeeb, but how anyone can look at that graph you have kindly updated and not see a massive and sustained increase when Blair came to power is utterly beyond me.

There was no net immigration trend pre-Thatcher, it started under her. Net immigration did not start with ...

98 onwards was the first real spike, blaming thatcher for that is just mental.

Oh dear, the claim Tony Blair is to blame for something that started under Thatcher and accelerated after him. The right wing got away with it pre-Big Dog, just sad to be saying that still in 2025. Anyway here's ...

You obviously don’t really what I’m mimicking , as you have no problem attributing events that occurred 17 years before her and 34 years after her to thatcher.
For you it’s a very simple bad = thatcher, good = everyone else

One of Thatcher's favoured economists was Milton Friedman. Both ...

From your own graph and past comments , seem to say net (im) migration only occurred thanks to her, check the 58-62 period

Feels v odd trying to talk economics and politics with a saffa who wrote the book on disastrous policies

Does a line of best fit really need to be put on there, I ...
