I am no fan of Albo, but if he is shaking his... then Trump is going full lather with both hands on his.. Edited February 6 by Jerry_Atrick 1 2
onetrack Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Another day dawning in the U.S. - yesterdays half-baked Grand Plan of turning Gaza into a long line of Trump Hotels and Golf Courses, will be forgotten today - and another new half-baked and crazy Grand Scheme will be announced, that ensures Trump gets his desired share of daily adulation, and more self-aggrandising about his "genius" status. 1 1

rgmwa Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Trump's Gaza plan is naive and nonsensical and won't go far. He won't back down of course, although I don't know how he's going to spin this. Even his own advisors apparently didn't know what he had in mind until he announced it. Now they're trying to back away from it, but he has shown the world once again what a loose cannon he is, not that anyone need a reminder. 1

Interesting @Grumpy Old Nasho that for someone who says they are neither Left or Right aligned, you seem to like raving mad far-right nutters. Guessing you think Clive is a great man and Craig Kelly should be in charge. Gotta fight the far left somehow, until equilibrium is achieved. After Trump, there will be a period of more moderate politics because the Democrats will have learned their lesson, and the Republicans will keep them in check, warning them not to go so far to the far left again. There needs to be a fine tuned balance between Left and Right in the United States, and elsewhere in the World. In the meantime, Trump is an extreme on the right, countering the extremes of the left. But neither the left or right can remain extreme, they have to moderate for the sake of peaceful co-operation, without the seismic meltdown eruptions we've witnessed lately. 1

But the problem in the US is that many don't want peaceful cooperation. The far right in particular sees the left as the enemy with no right to govern the country. While balance and cooperation would be great, there's no fundamental reason why equilibrium should prevail. 1

What "far left" are you talking about? Name me one far left government in power in the western world - or has been? And can you define what yoiu mean by far left, anyway? I think you mean centrist when you say far left, which means brining in the far right to move things right, well, is not equilibrium. 23 minutes ago, Grumpy Old Nasho said: After Trump, there will be a period of more moderate politics because the Democrats will have learned their lesson The lesson that the Democrats should learn is that culture politics doesn't resonate as much as a message reinforcing they had better economic management policies to maintain and improve their voters' standard of living, for which they had runs on the board, and Trump's last innings was in deficit. Well into the deficit, actually. Sad to say, but it required the Democrats to perform open heart surgery on the economy to save it.. and they, unlike Trump, did it. Trump has inherited an economy far better than he left it.. let's see what he does with it./ 26 minutes ago, Grumpy Old Nasho said: here needs to be a fine tuned balance between Left and Right in the United States, and elsewhere in the World.

I do agree with this.. the pronlem is the eight is being allowed and facilitated to move to the extreme.. Eveythign you say above this sentence flies in the face of this sentence. You have had the offer to live in the USA. I suggest you try it out.. properly.. I have... Although I love the US and it hasd a lot of great things, there are far better places to live. 1 1

No it doesn't ... try to understand it more carefully from the point of view that it was suggested that I was an extreme righty. Sometimes a helping hand is needed to help one extreme, to fight an opposite extreme. That's what I'm about. When Trump has finished his term, by that time, the Democrats will be wiser and refrain from delivering international wokism and other international politically correct bs. Nearly all leftwing policies derive from international institutions these days, and they are detrimental to the United States.
red750 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 My sources are often classed as crap, so I thought I'd give you four to chhose from. Then again, they might all be crap,. To please Jerry and Nev, I omitted the Daily Mail link to the story. It was obviously crap. https://news.yahoo.com/news/trump-wants-ballroom-turn-white-221436507.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/06/ballroom-trump-white-house/78265508007/ https://news-pravda.com/world/2025/02/05/1030114.html https://www.thetimes.com/us/news-today/article/trump-offers-to-build-a-100-million-ballroom-at-the-white-house-mbccd6q7h

What is this extreme left you speak of? The Democrats? Based on their policies and what they implemented in office, what was extreme left? What was even really left? What they put in was progressive and sustainabkle capitalism to keep the country running. You talk of extreme left, but what is the evidence you have to substantiate. The Inflation Reduction Act? Largest infrastructure development by private enterprise - hardly left wing, is it? Transitioning to renewables is not left wing. It makes good, financial sense to secure future energy efficeintly and growas the capitalist economy. Did they make all food free; all medical services free? Did they allow trans to use other sexes toilets? Did they turn the country vegan? What on eaqrth is this extreme left wing agenda you speak of, because saying it is extreme left does not make it extreme left... or does it? Noww, let's look at the more extreme right wing gvernments in place and their record of success of delviering a "balance" as you speak. When you can substantiate, I will re-engage.. Saying things are, like saying night is day, is, well, you can work it out. 2
red750 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Fox Business’ Edward Lawrence asked Leavitt: “So now that the President Trump’s policies are starting to take shape, how long will it take to cycle through and get some of the actual prices that Americans are paying to come down?” Leavitt ― whose boss, President Donald Trump, is certainly no stranger to verbal goofs and who promised during his campaign to reduce prices on his first day back in office ― sought clarification on the question. But she misspoke and said: “Prices at the store and at the grocery pump?” Lawrence confirmed he meant “all of the above” and Leavitt listed some of the administration’s actions that she claimed will reduce prices, but couldn’t give a timeframe for when it would happen. Comments: But "on day one..."!! Trump told us "I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries...We're going to bring those prices way down." I want my prices at the "grocery pump" to go down NOW! I can't afford the eggs I need to put into my tank. Honey, did you fill up the car? Yes, dear. I put 6 bananas, toiletpapier, potatoes, two cartons of milk and a six pick Red Bull in the tank. Thanks babe. Do we still have Diesel in the freezer?
old man emu Posted February 6 Author Posted February 6 With respect to the rest of those of the fair-haired feminine persuasion, Leavitt is the epitome of a dumb blonde.
rgmwa Posted February 6 Posted February 6 She’s not dumb. She’s smart, articulate, confident and a very good propagandist for the MAGA cause, which means she’s as full of BS as Trump is. 1

I'm not "suggesting" that you're an extreme right winger, I am stating as plain fact that - if you actually believe what you say - you are definitely somewhere to the right of Hitler. From your perspective everything is to the left of you, so when you look at centre-right or centre-left policy, you see far left / lefty / woke / pick your label. Far left is full communism/socialism. Unless you're talking about China, Vietnam, Cuba etc - there is no "far left" in Australia, certainly not in America, and not even in Russia. 1 2

Lol, that's funny but totally incorrect. I wouldn't have bothered about it, I've better things to do, but the left's extremes in the US were/are causing confusion and discontent. As Trump said: "The Nation needs healing", from the international trend of international socialism. And that's what the US was moving towards.
Jerry_Atrick Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Oh, I have given up, asking... He's unlikely to come up with anything
Grumpy Old Nasho Posted February 6 Posted February 6 1 minute ago, red750 said: Name the Left's "Extremes". You don't know? They are policies that go way beyond the grain of normal unbiased thinking, and it's followers are prone to assassinate anyone who opposes such thinking.

Jerry_Atrick Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) Blah Blah Blah... What policies? Again, fluff but nothing else.. Just happened to prove my you're not coming up with anything.. well except that, speaking of right wing.. hasn't Trump moved to remove anyone in office that disagrees or criticises him? Who's assasinating whom when people oppose their thinking? Edited February 6 by Jerry_Atrick 1

onetrack Posted February 6 Posted February 6 (edited) Saying that Trump is going to heal America is like saying the Grim Reaper is here to make you get better. He's the most viciously divisive, malevolent, racist and abusive "leader", I think I've seen in the last 30 years. He makes African dictators like Mugabe and former Ugandan leader Idi Amin look like kindly, generous old men. Edited February 6 by onetrack 1
red750 Posted February 6 Posted February 6 GON, what about Trump's rightist "Extremes". Examples: Closing down the Centre for Disease control while epidemics are spreading around the country? Like removing medication subsidies pushing the price of asthma inhalers from a few dollars to over $350, resulting in at least 1 death? That's what I meant by examples. Not vague generalities. 1

PS, I have to stop posting for a while, I have some urgent jobs to do, slash some tall grass, get vehicles serviced and inspected for rego, go to town to get some tucker before I starve, etc. 1
