More Farcebook BS and Fake News. Totally fabricated rubbish.

After all our angst about the crazy state of politics, I can't believe we haven't got a thread about Epstein. So, here goes.... I'll kick off with a link to a news mob I've never heard of. https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/the-transnational-dimension-of-theepstein-casea-hybrid-warfare-against-the-west My curiosity is particularly piqued by the fact that nobody has officially delved into Epstein's banking records. I did think that it would be an important part of analysing any (possibly) corrupt/criminal case?

Mate, I am not waiting for it. I bought at this time of year as a commuter, and I am going to use it as such. I didn't get my ride in today, but that is OK as the Ducati boy has said his Ducati i a little sensitive to rain and cold, and tomorrow is rainy and cold. So, I will go out then and hit those twisties. I got some of my planned items done today... To cut a very long story short, didn't go to Gloucester, but ended up at a main dealer in Exeter that had 20% off everything. BThe sales assistant was young, female, and blonde. And I thought great, a Saturday student workder. Holey moley, she knew her stuff.. well beyond blokes with 20 years riding experience. She was absolutely professional, and the lad was totally enamoured by her, professionally (though I doubt he would say no to a quick drink with her, even though he doesn't drink). @facthunter - goes to show, blondes do have brains! She would give most of us a run for our brainiac money.

Good weather will come Jerry!

...and his own VP, who had previously (and correctly) referred to him as an"idiot" and "America's Hitler"

A married couple were asleep when the phone rang at 2 in the morning. The wife (undoubtedly blonde), picked up the phone, listened a moment and said 'How should I know, that's 200 miles from here!' and hung up. The husband said, 'Who was that?' The wife said, 'I don't know, some woman wanting to know if the coast is clear.'

One of the few racing drivers who didn't suffer from overblown self-importance. Dementia is so rampant now, it's now one of the leading causes of death for aged people - 17,000 deaths from it last year, and only 12,000 from circulatory diseases.

I did tell my son to wait until he got to Aus to learn to ride. He is starting to complain that 125CC - especially around rural areas is simply not enough power should he need to get out of a pickly - or get to 70 (for most bikes) on dual carriageways. My son is not the cavalier sort by any stretcy of the imagination and the chances of him voluntarily exceeding a speed limit, even on a Hyabusa, is about the same as someone willing first division lottery every Saturday in a row, for a month. I looked up Vicroads learner bike restrictions, and wow, was I shocked, If anything, I would have expected the restrictions to have come down unilaterally to below 250c, but can be up to 660cc if thei have a power to weight ratio of up to 150kw/tonne (actially Transport Vic lists it and not Vicroads): https://transport.vic.gov.au/road-and-active-transport/road-rules-and-safety/motorcycles/motorcycles-for-learner-and-restricted-riders#h2-e4cr8 If a bike is not on the approved list on that web page and it meets reuirements, you can apply to have the bike you want added to the list. 150kw/tonne seems massive, given the kw/tonne of a Hyabusa is about 570... So unless they have some dicky formula rather than sijmple kw/weight * factor to get weight to a tonne, it would seem just about every bike under 660cc counts. My son's desired steed, a Triumph Speed 400, would certainly fit the bill. Anyway, back to the blog: Day 5 (yesterday) of ownership saw it stand under the covers. It was a lovely sunny day and got to 9 degrees, but with this reno and needing to get stuff done, didn't get the time. I had whatsapped two of the local village riders to let them know I had a bike, but one didn't believe me. My partner and I decided to eat the the village pub last night (foor was unusually very good - I was on orange juice and sodas as the beers there aren't great and I didn't want to have wine on account of severly reducing alcohol intake). We took the dog, but he was playing up so after dinner, I took the mut home and partner stayed on. One of the riders I text arrived after I left, and my partner told me when she got home he thought I was pulling his leg. So, tomorrow - Day 7, have a small ride out planned with he who was a disbeliever. This is the route: For context, within England a slightly wider map: Day 6 (today): It started wet today and the cover did a good job of keeping the rain off. In front of the dilapidated garage is a build up of soil thanks to a blocked drain thanks to builders digging up some of the lawn dlose to the long driveway and rain washing the soil down to the drain. So, the plan today is: Gotta help prepare the cottage for this weekend's holiday let. Taking the lad to Glocester (about an hour and a half away) to get Helmet and boots (nothing much in Tauton nor Exeter; the mega store in Bristol doesn't have great deals on helmets at the moment. Back and clear the soils from the front of the garage and unblock the drain. Maybe take the bike out in the wet for a small confidence builder. Bike to be put in garage. Here is the bike today in the muck of weather we have today: A bit different to Marty's post on Celebrating Positives 😞

Just snapped this in Hobart in front of a sweets shop. Not sure why Esmeralda has balls, and the Tassie Map is usually a short distance away from the freckle...

She's not telling us anything we didn't already know. The problem remains... what can we do about the long term fallout, now that DjT has destroyed the already failing democracy thar WAS USA. Our country is a little fish in a big pond, but the uncertain decade or so that follows, will still affect us. The flowchart of global possibilities has many branches, but none of them look good. So my concern is no longer 'What Has Trump Done Now?' My concern is that even after he is gone, (which cannot be soon enough) now that the guardrails are gone from all US administrations, what will the US do? Not only that, but the worst of the nutters and narcissists have taken up residence.

He was "Trained" to be what HE IS. He should NOT be permitted to RUN anything. How would you LIKE to Live somewhere He doesn't LIKE?. He's a "$#!t for Brains" DANGEROUS, FAKE. Nev

BREAKING: Mary Trump exposes her Uncle Donald after his "quiet, piggy" moment by revealing exactly where his "despicable" misogyny comes from — and it explains so much. Nobody spills the beans quite like family does... "Donald's misogyny runs deep and is actually honestly come by because his entire family was a bunch of misogynists," Mary Trump said on her Youtube channel. "I want to remind you just how in character all this is by showing you a montage of clips from MSNBC. And I also, also while watching it, I want you to pay particular attention to the reactions Donald gets." She then played a montage that included Trump being confronted about calling women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals," a recording of him implying that Megyn Kelly mistreated him because she was menstruating, and him stating that he "never liked horse face." In one segment, he talked about a woman gaining a "massive amount of weight," in another he insulted a woman who accused him of sexual assault by saying "Believe me, she would not be my first choice." Mary Trump's video was prompted by Trump snapping "quiet, piggy" at a female reporter on Air Force One after she dared to ask him about Jeffrey Epstein. "Aside from the grotesque reactions of the people in those crowds," Mary Trump said, referring to the MAGA supporters at his rallies, "which quite frankly explains a lot about how we got here, Donald is admitting something very openly there as he has at other times." "He actually is admitting that he would totally rape a woman, just not somebody who looks like that. Essentially, he's saying he would only rape women he finds attractive," she continued. "I grew up with him. I grew up with these people so again, none of this is surprising," she went on. "What remains surprising to me, even though I shouldn't be surprised by this either I suppose, is that the American people are still willing to put up with his dehumanization of women, his treating them like second class citizens, and the contempt he so obviously has for half of the population." "In the Trump family, girls had no value. Donald's oldest sibling Maryanne was a girl," she said. "My grandfather never once considered her a viable option for taking over the family business that would have been my dad, his oldest son friend. That didn't work out but the next oldest Elizabeth would never have been considered either. So therefore, it fell to Donald who is not only incompetent and unskilled, he was just a terrible, terrible businessman. And my grandfather knew it but what mattered more was that he wasn't a woman. Clearly, Trump inherited his hatred of women from his corrupt, detestable father. This president sees women as sexual objects to be insulted, abused, and discarded. The fact that so many s-called "Christians" support him despite his complete lack of morals tells you everything that you need to know about the religious right in this country. Please like
