Thought I would drop a note that a judge in Virginia has ruled against the GOP in its fight against invalidating last week's election regarding gerrymandering.

They will continue to fight this, but the SC ruled it legal when California did it and will come to the same conclusion here I would think. Now Florida is talking about switching things up to gain more seats.

It is like watching children fight. angry

No he’s going. In the morning.

Don’t envy him

Kings having a rethink.

I hope so. Trump has stirred up anti British feelings with his comments, especially about our armed forces. I don’t think it would take much for one of his MAGA disciples to act.

I do hope so.

He can send a video message wishing them successful celebrations.
Job done.

There are conspiracy theories, fake news, and Trump pronouncements.
There is the story of 'the boy who called wolf. 🐺
Taking my time over this latest 'event'.

Maremia Sun 26-Apr-26 13:22:37

Is he? Hope so.

I’m certainly not a big fan although being a Right Wing supporter I do agree with him on some issues.

He’s most definitely got plenty of faults though, but I can’t for one minute believe these assassination attempts have been hoaxes.

Things are not as they seem. Take a look at some of the footage.

Which issues do you believe he had got right please?

Galaxy Sun 26-Apr-26 12:35:56

There are numerous examples of people who are willing to hurt or worse those who they don't agree with. It isn't unfortunately that unusual.

imaround either the security services are useless or this is another stunt by Trump to take focus off the mess he has made. I don't believe the ear stunt either.

I agree

Why can’t you??

Oh come on don't spoil the conspiracy theories. Surely it will be chem trails next.

Not so much conspiracy - more cynicism and refusing to be gullible.

One does not have to like Trump to believe the assassination attempt last night was genuine.

sixandahalf Sun 26-Apr-26 11:49:34

What do you like about him please JE?

What is there to like?

Allira Sun 26-Apr-26 11:49:07

^We have been here before though. I remember how some on here were of the view that Boris Johnson hadn’t really been seriously ill with Covid back in early 2020.
He was fighting for his life in intensive care in a top London hospital but according to some posters, that was all a hoax too, with of course all the medics involved in his care were in on it too?^

Yes, I do know that is true from a family member who works there.

Allira Sun 26-Apr-26 11:47:59

I really think some of you are allowing your intense dislike of Donald Trump to cloud your judgement.

He's not easy to like, JenniferEccles!
In fact, I'm struggling to find something likeable at all about him.

Casdon Sun 26-Apr-26 11:45:40

The credibility gap Trump has created between the real story and his interpretation on so many occasions is what’s caused people to think this attempt was a set up. He has become his own worst enemy.

Smileless2012 Sun 26-Apr-26 10:38:34

The only people who'd have had to have been 'in on it' apart from Trump and the 'assassin' were the security staff in the hotel foyer.

I don't think for one moment that Trump would care about anyone believing this to have been real and terrified, including his own wife, because the fewer in the know, the more genuine the charade would look.

JenniferEccles Sun 26-Apr-26 10:28:16

A hoax, along with the near miss with his ear, both a hoax by Trump himself?
Honestly? Think about it.
Just how many people do you think would have to be in on this ‘hoax’

The hotel staff for this latest one, security, hospitals, all played their part just because in your views Trump fancied staging a scam.
Really?!

Another very good reason to advise the King not to travel to the US.

Smileless2012 Sun 26-Apr-26 08:36:21

I don't believe this was a genuine attempt and have always had my doubts about the 'ear stunt'.

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 26-Apr-26 08:29:58

I agree Grandmabatty. Mr Trump is the Boy Who Cried Wolf personified.
It may, if course, be completely true. However, would I put it past Mr Trump and his sycophants to put people at risk as part of a strange game? No, I would not.

Both are correct. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Which two of the three things mentioned are, in your opinion, correct?
