In the fairytale, Rumplestiltskin, he makes a deal with the proncess. The deal is, he'll spin the straw into gold for which she'll give him her first-born child. Reeks of paedophilia, doesn't it?

The US economy is like a blockage in a drainage system. What backs up behind it keeps other countries afloat. If the blockage breaks down, then all those other economies will go down the gurgler too.

Remember when we had a third party - the Democrats? That was before the Greens, wasn't it? We also had the Democratic Labor Party, and the Communist Party.

It is true that the Plan was instituted when Obama was President, but it was not a US-only plan. It was a plan made in cooperation with the UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany and accepted by Iran. Considering that the plan was to limit Iran's ability to enrich uranium to weapons grade, and that Iran hated Israel so strongly, it is not hard to form an opinion as to which country pressured Trump to withdraw the USA from the plan. Biden during his term tried to reverse what Trump had done in pulling the USA out.

That's because the other nationalities were mainly European, or Americans who had come from the Californian gold fields.

Actually, Obama himself did not make the deal. That's the lie that Trump is telling. That deal was made by international cooperation with many countries. The Iranian nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was a landmark 2015 agreement between Iran and the P5+1 (the US, UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany) designed to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for economic sanctions relief. At the time, Obama was President, but I bet the deal had to be approved by Congress. In any case, as soon as Trump got into power in his first term, he pulled the USA out of it. That plan set a few end dates for the agreement and some of those dates came up in 2025. Therefore the plan is up for renegotiation. Because Trump pulled the USA out of the P5+1, the USA has no legitamate status in any future discussions. Here is another link I found that will provide you with information about the JCPOA. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-iran-nuclear-deal

Another day, another consequence. Trump imposed an embargo on the delivery of fuel supplies to Cuba, and threatened to impose tariffs on any country supplying Cuba with fuel. Cuba has now run out of fuel. It has no power. It is a humanitarian disaster. But it's going to be OK. Trump said he was going to take over Cuba after he had finished with Iran. History has recycled to October 1962 - the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Xi gives Trump the cold shoulder. When Trump arrived in China, no high level Chinese dignatory was there to greet him. Think about that! Here's the "Leader of the Free World" arriving in a country, and he is not greeted by anyone of note. Compare that reception with that given to Obama 2015. I was looking for a video of Trump's arrival, but those I saw failed to point out the snub.

You know it's dry when the weeds are dying. I know that Rain, Rain, go away is Top of the Pops down south, but I won't be singing it.

I won't believed that it has rained until I see it in the rain guage. Also the BOM's definitin of rain is any drops falling from the sky. My definition is the creek rising.

Actually that treaty had a use by date and that date is fast approaching this year. Trump's actions might be his way of "making a deal". On July 14, 2015, the United States and its international negotiating partners reached an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program -The Iran Deal or “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA). Notice that this was an international agreement made by several countries with Iran. Trum likes to claim that it was unilateerally signed by Obama, but that, once again is a false claim. Obama signed as the representative of the USA, a country amongst others which signed. Here's an article about the history of that deal: https://armscontrolcenter.org/the-iran-deal-then-and-now/

Which Sunday or Monday are those?

I know now why they are building a windfarm in my local area. For the past few days the wind has been blowing continuously, and strongly. I'm doing my laundry this morning and am not looking forward to the effort involved in hanging it out. Talk about a one armed paperhanger in a windstorm!

If Trump is so concerned about teh sons of Allah having nuclear weapons, why hasn't he taken action against Pakistan? Oh! I forgot. Pakistan doesn't have oil.

It's the cost of the investigation that consumes a great deal of the budget. An investigation might uncover many things, but each thing in a prosecution must be a provable fact. Sad, but true. But PMCC has done us a diservice by not telling us how much has been allocated to support for ex- and serving members.
