    I think you’ve hit the Goldilocks spot.

    If the technique is that impressive we should all have a look.
  3. If he did he'd be selling two covers for $59.95. Mind you, it comes with some patriotic additions at no extra cost. What is the USA Bible? Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.
  4. A scam merchant for sale to the highest bidder.
  5. I’m amazed the appeals court dropped the bond to $175m when he’s been bragging recently that he’s got about $500m in his back pocket. No wonder they call him Teflon Don. To make matters worse they won’t be hearing the case until September and then it could take between one and six months for them to announce their decision.

    I'm sure I could do that if I was her size.

    Try this one:
  8. Maybe. The president can nominate someone to be the army chief of staff, but the appointment has to be ratified by the Senate, so it may not be that easy to get his Yes Man in depending on who controls the Senate. I would assume that any order to use troops on home soil would need to go through the C.O.S.
  9. That would probably lead to the army commanders refusing to carry out his illegal orders.
  10. Nothing new there. If they were serious, the war would have started decades ago. You also need to be organised and disciplined to fight a large scale war across the country, and the rabble isn’t.
  11. While there’s plenty of talk about a civil war, you need two sides to have fight. So far all the talk seems to be coming from the MAGA team. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else interested in heading to the battlefield, so who are they going to attack?
  12. Unfortunately a bit too nuanced as regards why she was so distressed but I guess they have to be careful in what they say. It was very good of you to try to help Ian. Not everybody would have done that. So sorry it ended the way it has.
  13. Mitch McConnell January 2021: “Former President Trump’s actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty,” Mr. McConnell said in a speech after the trial had ended. There was no question that Mr. Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day,” he added. “The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” Mr. McConnell said. In return, Mr. Trump continuously mocked Mr. McConnell and smeared him. Mitch McConnell March 2024: “It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” he said in a statement that was first reported by The Washington Post. He added, “It should come as no surprise that as nominee, he will have my support. During his presidency, we worked together to accomplish great things for the American people including tax reform that supercharged our economy and a generational change of our federal judiciary — most importantly, the Supreme Court.” The sooner Mitch goes, the better.
  14. He cares more if people are not looking at him. Why they’re looking doesn’t worry him as long as he’s got their attention.
  15. Don't be too sure. Trump will be telling his supporters well before the election that if he doesn't win, it will prove that the Democrats rigged it yet again, and they will believe him.
  16. Mitch McConnell and Trump can't stand each other. McConnell has directly blamed Trump for Jan 6, and Trump has trashed McConnell and his wife Elaine Ciao at every opportunity. Yet, there's every likelihood that McConnell will end up endorsing Trump as the Republican candidate because ultimately his over-riding priority is to beat the Democrats. So much for principles and moral standards! About the only Republican with any shred of integrity is Liz Chaney.
  17. I think there are two main unknowns: 1. How many Democrat, Independent and current non-voters will be worried enough to get out and vote against Trump. 2. How effective the Republican back-room plotting that is going on at State level to tilt the elections in Trump's favour will be.

    Spoken with the quick and correct response of a true Aviator, Nev. Most of us would drown gleefully clutching the prizewinning photo.
  19. Here's a report on Trump's business acumen and accomplishments as listed by his lawyers in his Digital World Acquisition Registration Statement: Doc1.docx
  20. With backdated interest at 9% on his $355m fines, apparently he could be up for nearly US$500m.
  21. Maybe so, but they don't care as long as they remain in power.
  22. Biden's report card from the special counsel looking into his classified documents retention problems is not looking too good. The counsel described him as " a sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory". That won't help the Democrat's prospects, but Trump will be happy.
  23. Trump’s insurrection charge is that he violated the Constitution by refusing to peacefully transfer power as it requires. It’s ithe actions he took to obstruct the process that matter more than what he actually said to his followers. When the media itself is polarised the public just listens to the side they want to hear. Those that are even interested in what’s going on that is, which is only half the country. The rest have tuned out.
  24. A recent survey showed that about 70%-80% of Democrat/Biden voters know about Trump's various legal cases. The corresponding number for Republicans was about 35%-45%, attributed largely to the right wing media's lack of interest in reporting on Trump's problems. About 50% of Independents were aware. If Trump gets convicted of any of the criminal charges he's up for, the Independents will probably take notice, so that could stack the odds against him in the election, despite his army of loyal and uninformed supporters. On the other hand, there's a fair chance that the Supreme Court may conclude that he's not even eligible to be on the ballot, based on the the original post-civil war intent of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Not that they can be relied on to either interpret it that way or provide a ruling before the election. It will be an interesting few months.
