So, nothing to worry about. Donold did promise 'You'll never have to vote again'. 😉

Sounds like a great spot for a wind turbine.

A great way to start life disowned, and then suddenly things get worse.

This is not what Donold T has done..... yet! Danish allies, including Germany, Canada and the Netherlands, are deploying troops to Greenland to participate in exercises amid a growing threat of incursion from Washington and other adversaries. This all is so f king awesome and weird. Euro nations scrambling to stop an American invasion!!!! I mean really, who thought it would get this far-out man.

We have a system that pretty much mandates there will be two parties, not one less, not one more. Every new party established has been absorbed by one of the two throughout our history...just as soon as they get sick and tired of being irrelevant. The small parties are trivial. There is something else I scratch my head over. The question of why aren't we tossing a bad power out? Because we don't have anything like the "vote of no confidence". We have to wait for election time for that to swap to the other squabblers. We are stuck with whatever we voted for another cycle, poweless to curb any crazy behaviour.

Australia, Britain and USA are basically two party democracies. Is it really democratic (Of the people, by the people), when it is basically a closed system where voters only get the choice of 'least worst', without a 'sack the lot' (no confidence) option?

I do hope she gets something more worthwhile tan a autographed DJT promotional merchandise bag.

Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time. So the smart lady distracted donold with HER glittering trinket. The award and honor remains hers.

Well look at that. Drump graciously accepted the Nobel Peace Prize from Venezuelan Maria Corina Machado. I think she just played him. Maybe that little shiny gift saved lives of her countrymen.

If the lid fits properly, you won't hear the punch line.

That's proof that the more any demographic group is suppressed, the more extreme they get. Thank dog for emancipation. I feel safer now.

My astute friends already do!

Nah. That's not a wisom thing. That's measurement issue. He's been telling his wife 50mm is eight inches, for too long.

Thanks. I was not trying to blame DJ per se. Such things tend to take longer than an election cycle to develop. One point that you raised might be very significant to short term influences (maybe happening recently). The stats don't show whether the gap between 'haves' & 'havenots' has become a problem. At the extreme end, the billionaires have recently done extremely well. Average joe, not so much. That might skew the averages.

Some silly sarcastic political pictures...

Maybe this isn't caused by Terrump. Maybe it's always been thus. Maybe this is just A.I. b/s?

Did you know..... that there are some strong people in the world, prepared to give USA the finger....

Therein lies the rub. Uncle Sam is really in the toilet, probably for another 3 years. After that without any signs of an alternative party or an ethical electable candidate, the toilet gets flushed. Turn the clock back to pre civil war (but with more dangerous weaponry) A depressing thought. Alas there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Nothing personal Jerry. I couldn't resist. PS one of the reasons I sold my bike was the fear that if it fell off the kickstand I know I can no longer lift it back up. All the best for a quick recovery. Then onya bike laddie!

Sorry OME. I was just being sarcastic. (The lowest form of wit)

Mods Please move Jerry's above post to the appropriate thread.... the "WTF! Maybe I'm getting old!" Thread.

Does this really deserve it's own thread?

Don't underestimate the power of testosterone. It's not just for men. Women run on it too!

Umm, Jerry.... not 'he'.... "Rochelle Bilal, was sworn into office on January 6, 2020. She is the first elected African American woman to hold sherriff position in Philly county's history.
