Day-dream bee-leaf-her!

Now he has pissed off old mate Vlad. Hijacked a Venezuelan oil tanker sailing under a Russian flag, on the high seas, transporting oil to Russia. Vlad is not impressed. https://abcnews.go.com/International/us-seizes-russian-flagged-oil-tanker-north-atlantic/story?id=128976500

Right Onetrack.

Just remember GON, you're a pawn in their game. Certainly won't make life better for you, and you are very, very dispensible. I have firends and ex-colleagues in the US emailing me to see what opportunities are over here.. But, they are the travelled ones. But don't take my word for it. Move their like you say you have been invited to. Find out for yourself. Just don't forget to rescind your Aussie citizenship on the way.

Very exciting, isn't it?

Well, Chump renamed the Department of Defense (sp!) to the Department of War. He is now asking tor the Department of War budget to be increased from ISD $906bn to $1.5tn - of which tariffs will fund a lot of it apparently. His making life easy for the tech bros to make more money, so they will use their social media platforms to control the narrative in Chump's favour. He has debts he has to pay and he has debts owed to him. He may come across as stoopid, but I would say more erratically psycopathic or stabler sociopath who has a plan and is willing to do what it takes to execute it. Voters or the plebs - they are a mere inconvenince (like they are to most political leaders on both sides these days - Chump is just more open about it). He realises that most of the peope - especially in the US pay scant attention to the local and national news, let alone international news - except where the US is involved (such as a war). Unlike the democrats, who got caught up in virtue politics and ignored the majority, he knows that we are more interested in making sure our pay packet goes further more than wehether or not our neighbour is doing it tough these days - and he plays up to it. The same menatality that allowed Puytin to flouris and take more and more control. He doesn't want to be king because of some delusions of grandeur - he only wants to have absolute power - or as absolute as it can be - and primarily to enrich himself, his family and his supporters - or his creditors as I like to call them. FFS, his family crypto business is applying for a banking licence. What sitting political head of a country allows that in normal deomcratic circumstances, when that sitting head directs finanical policy? The absolute majority in both houses of congress has made it a rubber stamp - more or less - of Chump. Although more true conservative republicans sided with the democrats to block appropriations last year leading to the longest government lock down. But for he republicans, didn't this have more to do with the release of the Epstein files than actual prudence? Chump and the republicans have managed to stack the Supreme Court of the US nd many other jurisdictions with Republican puppets, er judges (a flaw in the constitution if ever there was one), which means the other two organs of power are no longer a real check and balance. The mid-terms may, with any luck, address congress, but the democrats are so far uo their own arses and squabbling like chooks over the remaining scaps, that people are not looking at them as a real alternative at the moment - that can keep food on the table. And of course, the bulk of the popular press are supportive of their advertisers who, guess what, are supportive of Chump. Bezos taking over the Chicago Post is evidence of how they went from a vocal critic and check on the government to meek complicity by initially refusing to comment. This has been a long time coming. There will be moves a foot to change the constituion no doubt to allow power to be retained in all but probably official presidency. As long as people think it is the best for keeping a roof over their head, food in their guts, and fuel in their oversised compenation for phallic deficiencies, they will continue to allow it to happen. We have seen it before, and will see it again. Buckle up, it is going to be an interesting ride.

Hey, Hey, we're the Monkees!

Thay's weird Monkeys. Nev

Correct, Nev.

Petticoat Junction. Nev

Correct.

America Itself is deeply divided and everybody KNOWS Trump cannot be trusted. Trump sees Friends as A burden if HE doesn't CONTROL them. Dictators are easy to deal with. You KILL them OR BUY them. Ordinary Citizens don't matter a fig. Life is CHEAP for them. Nev

Isn't that part of the plan? The new world order (of bullies), divides the world into a 'western hemisphere' controlled by trump, and a 'eastern hemisphere' that pootin and xi can squabble over. USA, pootin & xi all wish that all european alliances will dissolve. No EU. No NATO. Much easier to get control when they can divide & conquer (economically & militarily)

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood

You ARE right on the Money there. Trump doesn't want or CARE about the Voters. He wants to neutralise them now that He has POWER.. They don't come into the Equation. USA Has been Conquered from within. It's an INSIDEJOB. A BIG CON JOB by a consummate LIAR. Nev

That's what I do When the Cops grab me.. Every second person is a Woman. There's NO shortage of them.. Nev

The worrying part is Trump has a visceral hatred of the EU and is intent on breaking it up. He sees the world as having only two main power blocs - America and China. All others that pose credible power blocs that might oppose his will, need to be dismantled, in his view. He doesn't even see Russia as a major power bloc, he's realised now that Putin is actually piss-weak.

This? .... from a bloke who is reputed to have Macca's burgers as his primary diet??

Correct.

Trump banishes fruit juice and urges red meat and butter as he declares WAR on American junk food giants https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-15213933/trump-rfk-jr-saturated-fat-new-dietary-guidelines.html?utm_social_handle_id=164305410295882&utm_social_post_id=644993859&ito=social-facebook

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water

What the USA is doing is proving that the US style of democracy is a failure. In other countries with true democracies, Trump would have been ousted from power by now.

Brute force is the Chump way. In this presidency, he used the brute force of America's dominant domestic market to try and force other countries to kow-tow to his will. He is using brute foce with the ICE; now he is using brute military force. He doesn't care if it is allies, nuetrals, or foes he uses that force against as long as it is for what he wants. The the previous presidency, he used brute force to try and overthrow an election. He uses brute force of money to intimidate people through legal proceedings and the like. Ehther it is uncivilised or not; whether it wrong or not, it is sort of true. Most of the outcomes he has acheived have been through threats that he would carry out. Want to get Nato to spend more on defence. Threatend withdrawal. Want to get an oil producer - go and invade. The western world didn't stand upo to Putin because they were scared of a failing military power - they sure as hell aren't going to stand up to Chump because they have a lot more to lose. The vomit induing performance put on by Starmer was playing to what he wanted and there was no guarantee of him doing what Starmer wanted in return - in fact, he didn't do anything he did for Aus with a leader who provided a more measured approach. The reality, unless people are willing to stand up to bullies, which they won't if they feel they are powerless in comparison, then the mightier one will get the choccies.
