Didn't know you were into S&M. 

 

There's an American meme doing the rounds, the text of which says "Watching what is happening is like watching the fall of the Roman Empire, but with wifi." I can only agree with the sentiment.

Nah It's just the MOST mad person running the Mental Home. You might as well enjoy it. It's happening, regardless.  Nev

As long as they don't invade the Republic of Taswegia, I'm happy to stock up on food and wine and sit back to watch the story unravel.

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

Bring back those old maps of Australia that didn't show Tassie at

So. You'd deforest the whole place?

Well, Jacquie Lambie has admitted on radio that there's a lot of old growth in her patch.

They reckon it hurts when you get picked up by the fuzz.  Nev

Back to topic.

 

YouTube is flooded at the moment with videos announcing Trump's latest announcement, or videos explaining how many of his MAGA-directed promises will adversely affect both Americans at home and US diplomatic relations around the world. If we started posting links to all those videos, and to other media items, this thread would soon be running into the thousands of posts, and that's without any of us commenting on individual posts.

 

At least we can say that the owners of YouTube must be making a motza from all this Trump-related stuff.

Lets cut it short until DJT is sworn in. Until then he has done nothing but talk. After he is sworn in, he can actually carry out presidential duties whether we like it or not. Then we will have some facts to debate.

Sort of related to this thread. I was reading this Vanity Fair article - dated 1994 - and I thought to myself 'this looks like a descrition of DJT.'

 

"October 1994 Issue

The New Establishment: The Decline And Fall of the Eastern Empire

Perhaps more than any other single person, Henry Kissinger augured the end of the gifted amateurs of the Old Establishment. His ascension to power represented the rise of the free agent—the professional political player who brilliantly manipulated the press, played both sides of issues, and put his own agenda ahead of all others. David Halberstam pins Dr. Kissinger to the pages of history.

By David Halberstam"

 

So the rot set in back then. The democrats failed this year because they failed to embrace the new political methods that started quite a while back.

Anything DJT says, is just part of the modern theatre that politics has become.

Albo hasn't got a chance in the theatre contest.
