Game. Set. Match, DA. We will not be bullied.

100%, they can start with dropping BEE and other Race base laws. The Rand will strengthen overnight.

Remember that we did not go there to be bullied, we are a proud, sovereign nation.

It's like when the bully gets the small kid by the ankles, shakes him upside down, but only a few pennies fall out.

The kid then skulks away sniffling while everyone looks on in shame. The kid is Ramaposter in case you were unsure.

You speak like the ANC cares about you?

Am I not the one benefiting from its largesse while you are unemployed due to BEE and being genocided?

If you put it that way. Good Luck!

But Schreiber said they can’t just deny him citizenship because of his politics, adding that he can’t be denied citizenship because he hasn’t applied.

Yeah. I'd get the uproar if the guy led some of IRA for WC or whatever.

But come on, his party could barely get to 0.2% of the vote, he's hardly a threat.

Herman is probably having a little cry and we'll see some racist tweets from him soon.

The DA, right wing supporters are still not happy.

A fuel levy is a lot less hard-hitting than a general VAT increase.

The President of the Republic has everything under control.

Pulling all his local stunts over there, let's see how it works out for him...

 

[Nom Chompsky]

Now 26 minutes late. Oh dearie me.

I somehow doubt it's Trump waiting for Squirrel, probably the other way round. Trump playing his "you will wait for me" card.

How the fsck can you be late as a guest?

That is piss poor squirrel.

To be fair, Trump could be stuck in other meetings but I somehow doubt that. It's the first major thing on Trump's public schedule today.

I suppose we'll find out, but I seriously hope it's not squirrel being fscking useless and losing his iPad again.
