No, sadly I don't.

My point is that from now onwards, thanks to the Republican revolution, every president of USA will be above the law.

But has anyone written to their MP to complain? I did.

Thank you, oh eloquent one. I try to consult wolfie for inspiration. Unfortunately wolfie just makes me verbose and silly.

That's what I said.....

And often escape deserved scrutiny. Crap job... but nice work if you can get it.

Let me think... The US has a deal whereby some insignificant country promises to give them billions of US greenbacks for subs that they don't even have to provide. Good for US? You bet it is.

For sure things are looking bleak. Donny is busy implementing the agenda in the 2025 agenda. Destroying law & order. Destroying education. Destroying health care. Undermining the justice system. Destroying Their standing globally. etc, etc..... But The way I see things, the world's biggest problem is going to be - what happens post trump 2, after all that ?

But now that he has trashed the system of checks and balances (regardless of its shortcomings), there is no control over subsequent dictator types. Then the only rule left will apply:- 'Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely' (or something like that)

He already tells his followers he has done as much.

Sometimes. However, it seems that the corrupt exploiting types gravitate to either arena - wherever they sense opportunity to feather their own nest. In my experience, I have seen equally disgusting behaviour in GOC's and private enterprises.

Nah, if dearest Don drops off his perch for any reason, there is a whole mob of rabid nutters ready to step into his shoes. And although it's hard to believe, things might get even worse.

No, OME, Jan 6th wasn't insurrection from Don's perspective. But when anybody disagrees with Don, THAT'S insurrection.

My theory:- If a politician says or does something crazy or silly, it means that I am not seeing it through his eyes. They are not acting in the interests that I expect him to responsible for. Then I turn it around in my mind until the act/policy has some logical outcome. From the politician's perspective, it made sense at the time. Probably serving self interest instead of acting in the interests of the people/country. Then I understand. If you don't like my theory, I've got others.

Here's something Albo could rescue:- Mt Isa's copper smelter is slated to be closed by the owners. The smelter is owned by Swiss mining giant Glencore. They say that the smelter is not profitable without a big upgrade. Now they are asking the Australian government for $millions to keep going. I suggest a different option. Rather than giving millions to a foreign mining giant, can the government resume ownership of this loss making enterprise, and put those millions into what would then be our own smelter?
