Scroll down to see a similar Daily News cover from December 2015. That,and all the others in yesterday's Washington Post article demonstrate that the der spiegel cover isn't new or unusual.

welll I am surprised they havent mocked up a statue of liberty "wivart any cloves on"
and giving her one with a machete ( taking a swipe I hasten to clarify )

people have such dirty minds

any thread on the Fed and his judgement ?
( I s'pose that should be 'any fred on the the fed ... '

defended injunctions ( which this was ) in the UK are hardly ever granted ....
the defence was apparently " The president can do whatever he likes " - I cant think what the judge said to that.

I speculate the defence lawyer took instructions " say the president can do whatever he likes..." and thought that if he didnt plead the point as instructed , he would lose his job ever tho he thought the legal point sucked and was bound to fail ....

we live in an interesting world

can you imagine any lawyer thinking "well I think this legal point is absolute billox but here goes .....!"

In the Gazza privacy case - when he had money - a judge asked at the outset -" dont we know the law on this point?" ( injuction refused )

[andy-hughes]

Peter Pedant - have you ever thought of posting a cogent thought in plain English?

It would make a nice change.

[RandyMarsh]

pls do not change Peter.

Peter is a veritable jewel in the AB Regalia.


As for the Der Spiegel cover page, yes it's hard hitting but says exactly what it means - I wouldn't call it depraved.

[Peter Pedant]

andie
it was about the recent pleadings in the fed case in seattle and the arguments used

Trump has said " my order was the beginning of a process to ensure the safety of ma country"

and the judge said " no it isnt ! you have just banned everything and done diddly squat else"

Trump insists that an executive order can be what he likes but - there is the condition of being reasonable
and so far we have had none ....

Sometimes Peter is the one sane voice amid the AB babble.

[-Talbot-]

Of course he is.

"Are There No Limits To The Depths Of Depravity That Some Sections Of The Press Will Sink?"

Like when the Daily Mail attacked one of the Brexit judges for being 'openly gay'?

Like that you mean?

Thanks for reminding us SP !

Or when a young thang can't move for flaunting her well toned body/legs/breasts etc.

I don't like to think what they do with their free hand in the Mail office.

[EDDIE51]

Not far off the Truth ! Even Homeland security has ruled Trump's travel ban illegal!

[ichkeria]

I have no problem with Charlie Hebdo, nor with Der Spiegel

[sp1814]

Regarding depths of depravity - the Daily Mail described Heidi Klum's eight year old daughter as 'a leggy beauty'.

The same paper described 14 year old actress Elle Fanning as 'showing off her womanly curves' whilst dressed as the Statue of Liberty on Halloween in 2012.

In 2013, the paper described 15 year old actress Ariel Winter as 'all grown up'.

So yes - some newspapers wallow in depravity. They are lead by the Daily Mail.

Good points sp. wonder if AOG will respond?

[vortex]

At least the DM claimed to be 'no great fan of Trump'!

Although it is still squeaky bum time in respect of the escort allegations against Melania...

[andy-hughes]

Zacs-Master - if this 'attack' mirrors the responses to AOG's appalling notion that a Chaser on The Chase threw a game because one of the contestants was also a black lawyer, then I think you can expect radio silence for a couple of days, and then he will pop up on another thread as though nothing has happened.

I predicted it then, and was proved right, and I predict it again now.

Whatever, if he does respond, I hope I continue to enjoy the luxury of his somewhat adolescent habit of late of ignoring me completely, which has certainly vastly reduced the vast number of pointless spats on the News Section.

[Zacs-Master]

Andy, let's not turn this into a bash AOG thread eh? You. Ugh the be able to get away with it but I don't think I would.
