  1. Michelle Obama has said she’s not interested in the job. She wouldn’t be a bad choice though.
  2. He’s just been hit with an $83.3m fine so he may be buying fewer Big Macs for a while.
  3. Unconvicted criminal.
  4. The National Motor Museum in Birdwood is very interesting. The York Motor Museum and the WA Motor Museum are also very good. https://www.yorkmotormuseum.com/ https://www.whitemanpark.com.au/trains-trams-museums/motor-museum-of-wa
  5. James Dimon (/ˈdaɪmən/; born March 13, 1956) is an American billionaire business executive and banker, who has been the chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase since 2005. He has also been on the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.[1][2] Dimon was included in Time magazine's 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2011 lists of the world's 100 most influential people.[3] Forbes estimated his net worth at $1.6 billion as of June 2023.[4] He serves on the board of directors of institutions such as the Business Roundtable, the Bank Policy Institute, and the Harvard Business School.[5][6] During his time heading JPMorgan Chase, the bank was fined $38 billion by the U.S. government for legal and regulatory infractions, including a then-record $13 billion fine in 2013 for defrauding investors.[7][8] No surprise he'd be fine with Trump back in the White House.
  6. Interesting article. It's all about the profits. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/21/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-defends-trump
  7. Obviously a slow day at the reno today.
  8. She's trying so hard to be all things to everyone, that she risks being nothing to anyone.
  9. That means that despite Trump routinely calling Biden a criminal, he would be happy for Biden not to be charged for ordering his assassination as a political rival. I wonder if that's what he really meant?
  10. 1x1=1 11x11=121 111x111=12321 1111x1111=1234321 etc
  11. I'd say they're not thinking, which is part of the problem.
  12. Should be interesting to see how the US Supreme Court handles this mess: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/26/trump-us-supreme-court-crisis
  13. So says the criminal who married two foreign women and is trying to poison America himself.
  14. There are plenty of people even in the US who recognise the inherent flaws in their system - gerrymandering, the electoral college, state-based voting procedures and laws, first past the post voting rather than proportional representation, to name a few. The problem is it's almost impossible for them to collectively change anything.
  15. There are about 16 other states also looking at kicking him off their ballots. There is an argument that it would be better to have him on the ballot and defeat him in the election. That would be a more definitive result.
  16. It's an interesting read. He also invented the Sidcot suit and `cottonised' the PRU Spitfires for more speed.
  17. He's also been sued again on Monday for repeating his claims outside the court. He's an idiot.
  18. That's obviously why Putin's interested in Moldova.
  19. If Putin moves on to Moldova, it might motivate the West to take more action.
  20. Unfortunately, you're right. To make matters worse, the conflict in Gaza has taken the world's media attention right off Ukraine.
  21. If he became president and therefore POTUS, as he’s married to another man, would his partner still be referred to as FLOTUS?
  22. I think you’re right, but he’s articulate, talks sense, and gets things done. He’s also not Biden or Trump.
  23. I think his planet is in a galaxy much further away than even Trump's.
  24. I think they should give Pete Buttigieg a go.
  25. For someone who's a compulsive liar, he's actually told the truth about his plans for a next term. Hopefully enough Americans may eventually believe what he says and vote against him, but half the country believes all his other lies. Churchill said "You can always trust the Americans to do the right thing ........ after they've tried everything else". Hopefully he's right or the next few years are going to get ugly and not just for the Americans.
