You can think of `nothing' as in the concept of nothing, but as soon as you think, it has to be of something. If your mind is really not thinking, which it may do if there is no mental activity going on, you may need to seek medical help.

His plan is to ‘win’ and he doesn’t care about any collateral damage to other countries.

Not particularly following but my son showed me some videos. There's obviously something odd going on, but I would have thought someone would have flown up to take a closer look by now. They aren't very high or going very fast. You have to wonder why they're flying around in various formations with strobes and nav lights on so that anyone can see them. They're obviously not trying to hide. It shouldn't be that hard to find out what they are and what they're doing. Probably the high tech equivalent of crop circles where the aim is to get noticed and get some conspiracy theories circulating.

All he sees is ‘famous’. Everything else is irrelevant. It just highlights his fundamental insecurity and weakness.

Trump's just been named Time Magazine Person of the Year - `for better or for worse' according to the fine print. I'm sure he thinks it's a great image, and so it is because it shows exactly who he is - arrogant, egotistical and empty.

I bought the one-time Office option about 4 years ago rather than sign up for the subscription. It was about twice the cost of the subscription at the time but does all I need as a single user and I should be well ahead on cost by now.

A lot of people are relying on those SP bookies to gamble successfully with their superannuation savings.

I think he may be crediting Trump with thinking like an economist, rather than the impulsive, egotistical disrupter that he is. Still he may be right about the outcome.

As long as I'm not listed on here, all is relatively well.

Any lower and they'd miss me altogether.

Taswegia? Good choice. Nobody knows where that is. You’ll be fine.

The worst part about Joe's backflip and claiming that Hunter's prosecution was politically motivated is that it echoes exactly what Trump keeps saying. Trump is already calling for Joe to pardon the J6 `political prisoners' as well.

As has been said, Biden is a decent guy and in no way comparable to Trump in terms of his ethics, except on this issue where he did what he always said he wouldn't do. No doubt the Republicans went after Hunter Biden hoping to get to Joe, and he certainly had drug issues which got him into trouble, but at the end of the day Joe stayed above it and Hunter pleaded guilty as charged. That should have been the end of it. If he wasn't the president's son, and the president had not caved at the end of the day, he wouldn't have got this pardon, and that's the problem. Trump of course would be happy to pre-emptively pardon Don Jr just in case he ever committed any crimes. Half of Trump's cabinet picks have criminal records, including Trump himself, so by comparison Joe is a comparative saint despite this late embarrassing backflip.

It's a pretty poor effort after all his previous promises not to pardon him. He's now on a par with Trump, as far as credibility is concerned. Maybe he was hoping nobody would notice.

Even if Trump and Vance were both deemed mentally incompetent, the House Speaker, Mike Johnson would be next in line. Hardly an improvement. The best option would be a big defeat for the Republicans at the mid-term elections if Trump and his cronies make a complete mess of things in the meantime.

He has the political skills to be a wrecking ball.

I read that Kellogg's starting position was to get both sides to negotiate by telling Putin the US would give Ukraine all it needed to defeat him if he didn't, and telling Zelenskyy that he wouldn't get any more aid unless he sat down as well. If that hasn't worked because both of them have refused to play the game, maybe he's seeing if he can make Putin blink first. I wouldn't get too excited at this stage.

And his bank accounts, his office desk drawers, his waste paper basket, his Mar a Lago store rooms and his back pocket.

I wish him well too for the sake of the US population and the rest of the world, but I'll be surprised if this experiment ends well for anyone, including Trump.

More likely Trump will break a lot of things that don't need to be broken and would not have been done otherwise. He might steal a few things for himself along the way.

A lot of people voted for Trump because that’s who they wanted. Many others voted for him because they wanted to send a message to the Democrats that they blamed them for the cost of living increases. Kamala did well to get as many votes as she did. The Trump voters may come to regret their choice when they see what a career criminal in the White House can do when he’s immune from prosecution and free to trash their country and the rest of the world.

I suppose that will make it a cruise missile?

Same here, but I've now gone one better. Working from home, nobody cares what I wear.

The Place of the Eureka Stockade. Freeze the walls off a Bark Humpy in winter.. summer..

Yes, that’s true but Trump has moved on.
