  1. Yes it’s a sad fact that he’d be nothing without an audience and his behaviour and personality are so obnoxious that the audience can’t help watching to find out what happens next.
  2. Because they'd lose the vast majority of his supporters and probably a fair number of their own members in Congress who back him. Then they'd have no hope of winning in 2024, especially because he'd do all he could to trash his former party. Who would make that move anyway, McConnell?
  3. This election would be an easy win for the Democrats if they had a good candidate, but all they have at the moment is Biden. Trump may not get the Republican nomination, but if deSantis wins then the US and the rest of the world won't be much better off. He's too much like Trump.
  4. Probably caught between by steep cost increases for materials, fixed price contracts and finding enough tradies.
  5. Alan Dershowitz the Harvard law professor suggested he should use his mug shot on his campaign posters. That's a great idea. It make him look even more like a criminal.
  6. I hope they've done their homework and he doesn't get off. Either way the circus continues.
  7. Probably just the local militia rep waiting for the Redcoats to arrive.
  8. Quite right OT. Only one death per 10,000 guns, give or take a few. Hardly worth losing any sleep over.
  9. And that guy's a state senator. They've got no hope in that country.
  10. Unbelievable! Wonder what the little kid got for Christmas.
  11. I heard on the news that Trump has raked in another $2.2m in donations from his flock of followers since he announced he was going to be arrested this week.
  12. Only the photo, not the reality.
  13. If you explained your situation to the dealer and paid him say $1500 he may agree to hold it for you until you can pay the balance.
  14. Xi Jinping and Putin seem to be best friends now. I don't think Xi is too concerned about Ukraine and I think he would be quite prepared to slip a few useful things Putin's way on the quiet if he can. It's in his interests to prop Putin up and prolong the war because it keeps the US and the West under pressure. In the meantime he makes Putin more dependent on China, so not much downside for Xi provided he doesn't get found out and hit with sanctions by the West. He can also act the benevolent peace broker and look as though he's a great statesman for domestic consumption.
  15. ‘Cooker’ sounds a bit odd. ‘Cooked’ might be more accurate.
  16. Certainly looks fake if you compare the texture of his ‘face’ compared to those around him.
  17. By getting in first Trump is trying to stir up his supporters ahead of a possible arrest to ensure the focus is on the politics not the law, to put more pressure on the DA, and to scam for money to fight his charges, whenever they come. Whether or not there was a leak is questionable. He probably made up that story to suit his narrative.
  18. Putin would probably go himself just to show his contempt for the ICC. If the South Africans didn’t arrest the Sudanese president they wouldn’t risk an international incident by trying to arrest Putin, especially given the number of major countries that aren’t signatories.
  19. Any negotiation now would be with an indicted war criminal, albeit one who doesn’t recognise the ICC. That could throw a spanner in the works of any thoughts of a negotiated settlement.
  20. I'm surprised no reporter seems to have asked him how he would do it. I expect his plan would be to tell the Ukrainians they have 24 hours to pay for all the US equipment and ammunition they have been given to date, although he might let them off if they can come up with more dirt on Joe Biden.

    UFO's

    Most likely the same way this pretty convincing video of ball lighting was made:
  22. They’ll be even more upset if the Russians salvage the wreckage before they do.
  23. Both Trump and De Santis would be bad for Ukraine. De Santis doesn't believe that Ukraine's problems are an issue for the US either. At least Nikki Haley takes the conflict seriously, although who knows what else she stands for.
