The tacoman is sure to back away from actively (rather than the present covertly) bombing Iran
-
Albo to the rescue.... Is our government quietly acquiescing to trumpism, like Canada is? In spite of their rhetoric, both countries are tightening immigration and pushing fossil fuel mining.

Agreed, the old reliable brands have all gone down in quality. The new petrol 'lawn tractors' (as the yanks call em), are pretty flimsy. If you use them much, they don't last long at all. And if you look closely at commercial grade mowers, you will find they are worth the price in the long run. Generally they cost at least twice the price of the hardware store specials.
-
But Marty, you don't have much lawn to speak of. You need a rocky mountain mower to trim your rocky mountain. The LAWN mower I'm thinking of is this... https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/lawn-tractors/48v-38-75ah-brushless-ride-lawn-mower RRP $3999

OME, you will find that petrol powered ride-on mowers of similar size are not much cheaper than that Electric one. Having spoken with a couple of E-mower owners, they think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Mr T rump has explained his 'Art of the Deal". Ho'toready to negotiate when he holds ALL the cards.

Everyone knows you don't get to sit at donny's table unless you first pay $1 million for the invite.

MAGA Make American oligarcs Great wealth AGAIN (Pause for cheering rioters)
-
Not surprising.
-
The list of (probable) money making conflicts of interest just keeps getting longer . Of course, technically those deals that increase the wealth of wives, sons, etc, arent oficially counted as 'conflicts of interest' but they sure seem to make the family wealth grow!
-
I bet they don't teach much border growth history in USA schools. Their old imperialism took a lot of Mexico by force - to make the states of Arizona, Utah, Texas, etc. After all that, taking Greenland would not be so surprising. They don't look like nice neighbours, to me.
-
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.
