    BTW, maybe somebody should tell Mr T that USA is only a minor part of america. If he wants to 'Make America Great Again', the MAGA team must help Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Patagonia etc,..... and goodness me.... Mexico!

    I just want Van Diemens Land to secede from the Commonwealth and declare itself independant. Then I can forget about the mainland federal government altogether. And we would have one less level of incompetance.

    Would you rather just rely on 'X' Everyone knows 'x' is an unknown quantity. I hope they still teach that in schools.

    The rich and famous are often globe trotting. It means little. The everyday people are not globally mobile. Many ar only vaguely aware that 'other places' exist and probably still think 'everywhere else' is much worse than Great USA. Like the masses everywhere, they are passengers on the politicians national train ride.

    Great. Whose facts? What about alternative facts? Who would fund the 'official' factchecking department? Rather a can of worms, I think.

    Is this bill coming from copying DJT's claim that he's going to protect women whether they like it or not? The Australian government is going to protect us whether we like it or not? Sounds like a hastily invented bill that should not be rushed through at the last sitting moment.

    Elon is late to the party with a rather odd motorcycle. Would you call it a electric cafe racer? It doesn't look practical, nor appealing in any way to me.

    So. Tell me. What can we do about this?

    The ruskies only need to step back to the limit of British-made Storm Shadow missiles and the US equivalents.

    Ukraine initially claimed it was an ICBM. Apparently not. I was thinking that the russians could have used long range missiles (with bigger payloads?) Which could be launched from locations safely out of range of Ukrainian weapons. What range does a 'intermediate' missile have?

    Ironing.... Ironing.... Aaah, I remember my mum had an iron. But I can't remember seeing her using it. I guess I'm just one of those scruffy modern dressers.

    Russia has not used any ICBMs until now. They clearly don't mind openly targetting Ukrainian civillians. They clearly don't care how many Russians die in a 'meat grinder'. They have plenty of ICBMs. But they witheld them until now. Had they used these in the early stages of the invasion, even with conventional warheads, it would all be over years ago. Have they simply been using the war to taunt the USA and NATO? I mean, as well as trying to reinvent the old USSR?

    Was that a subtle parting political comment?

    I reckon Guyra is the coldest place I've been. It used to be common for trucks to slide off the highway there - due to black ice.

    If we pass the new donation limiting legislation in Australia, we will simply push the hidden money away to something like the USA super PAC. An arms length money system that is outside the legislation.

    Are you referring to the inrush of candidates taking up key positions around DJT.

    Sales of new outboard motors must all be 4 stroke. Oily residue in the water is not such a problem as all the old 2 stroke wear out and get replaced with 4 strokes.

    I do a lot of touch typing. Everything I type is a result of touching...... between FFS and poor near vision, I touch a lot of wrong keys.

    More likely by then a pine box might be appropriate after the stress of 4 years in the top job combined with 4 years of his alleged eating habits.

    Thank heavens, at least that's one place that we don't have to re-name.

    We get regular sessions of drizzle at this time of year. Yeah, the grass grows. But constant mowing keeps it neat. Our furry autonomous mowers are great! The best thing about moving down here from Qld is that some years the grass gets so out of hand I have to get the ride-on out twice! In a year! It used to be twice in a week.

    How could anybody fact check this assertion?

    Philosophy it not a word that comes to mind. Call me a cynic, but I expect the dynamic duo to agree that government and prosecuters must heep their hands off a select few.
  24. nomadpete
    I disagree. I can see DJT putting heavy tariffs on everything chinese except his BFF mates imports. (BFF in this case means 'Best Friend Fortheweek)
