  1. Trump once told Bob Woodward, “Real power is, I don’t even want to use the word, fear”.

  3. Not so. He is not eligible to run again as either the president or the vice president.
  4. Makes you wonder whether the US today would have any hope of matching the organisation and determination needed to repeat that performance if we ended up in another world war. Obviously a war today would be fought differently using different technology but I don’t think they would have any chance.
  5. He's been here before. He's in the process of bankrupting the biggest casino he's been able to get his hands on. Unfortunately the unwitting players and spectators are the American public.
  6. Frontera parts are certainly getting harder to find but so far, so good after 330k. Toyota parts aren't a problem.
  7. Yes I agree they technically and environmentally they have a lot of good points but my 2002 Frontera and 2008 Aurion, although not worth much, are still going strong so at this stage I’m not in hurry to buy an EV. The battery in an EV wouldn’t last that long, at least not with the current technology.
  8. Yes, I understood that although maybe it didn’t quite come across that way in my post. Your experience in NZ was interesting to read and they are obviously better equiped with public charging facilities than we are here, at least in WA. I’m still not sold on getting an EV or even a hybrid at this point though.
  9. I have to say that despite wanting to do the right thing for the planet, I don’t see myself getting an EV any time soon. Reading Octave’s NZ post where every stop is used to find a place to recharge the car even if it doesn’t necessarily need it doesn’t have much appeal. Maybe in 15-20 years time if I live that long and ICE’s have been banned. I wouldn’t get a Tesla anyway, just on principle. My cousin’s husband (in Holland) has a hybrid which he loves. However it only goes 55km on a full charge. That’s fine in a small country but Australia’s a big place and I don’t think the large scale charging infrastructure and power needed to supply it are here yet. In the meantime I’ll keep driving my hydrocarbon car.
  10. Maybe the patients should too?
  11. Sounds as though they might be welcome to live at your place again OME.
  12. That’s wrong. He’s obviously a lot taller than 5’-10” but he is a known felon.
  13. Marco Rubio said after his meeting with the Europeans that if Russia and Ukraine are so far apart that a negotiated end to the war seems impossible then Trump will probably decide to move on because he has more important things to deal with. He suggested this would decided in a matter of days, not weeks. It doesn’t look good for Ukraine.
  14. Offering to take Canada's place as the 51st state should work.
  15. True, but apparently under the laws involved in this case, he has the authority to appoint an independent prosecutor if the DOJ tries to dismiss it. The odds are still against him as there's no way Trump's administration will bring all the deportees back for hearings, but at least he's doing his job. It will be interesting to see what happens if the administration is charged with criminal contempt for defying his orders.
