[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just listened to the press conference of Trump and the SA president and was impressed how the latter was able to calmly but  firmly refute Trump’s BS. Trump looked like an ignorant manipulated idiot as usual. [/quote]

Oh really?

Hmm:

“EFF leader Julius Malema's trademark song is "Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer", which he sings at political rallies.
Afrikaner lobby groups have tried to get the song banned, saying it was highly inflammatory and amounted to hate speech.
However, South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal has ruled that Malema is within his rights to sing the lyrics - first popularised during the anti-apartheid struggle - at political rallies.
The court ruled that a "reasonably well-informed person" would understand that when "protest songs are sung, even by politicians, the words are not meant to be understood literally, nor is the gesture of shooting to be understood as a call to arms or violence".
Instead, the song was a "provocative way" of advancing the EFF's political agenda - which was to end "land and economic injustice".
Lobby group AfriForum filed an appeal against the ruling, but South Africa's highest court refused to hear the case, saying it had little chance of succeeding.
In 2023, South Africa's former President Thabo Mbeki urged Malema to stop singing the song, saying it was no longer politically relevant as the anti-apartheid struggle was over.
The ANC says it no longer sings it, but it cannot "prescribe to other political parties what they must sing".

Yes really. You should watch the video of the press conference so you can see how the SA president addressed this issue (and the agriculture minister, who is white and from an opposition party).  All the while Trump kept mumbling like an idiot “but they are taking the land” with the president repeating no land has been taken, and even the US can seize land for public interest.

Funny that the J6 rioters chanting “hang Mike Pence” were just peaceful tourists singing a happy song. We are even going to pay $5M as taxpayers to the family of the idiot who broke the window of the barricaded door to actually get to Pence. Songs apparently have different value depending on who sings them[/quote]
