Yeah that's what I thought. This is the perfect deal for the US. Because it's a shit deal for Australia.

I don't really agree... Yes there are no end of nutters but they don't have whatever weird hold Trump has over his moronic flock. Anyway it's all academic, no use crying over missed shots.

What's missing from between his ears is what unfortunately just clipped one of his ears.

He's doing it for a reason. He WANTS an incident in LA so he has an excuse to stomp down harder. He would be thrilled if a protestor killed a cop or soldier. I know I sound like a broken record, but this is 1930's Germany all over again.

They don't suffer long. In fact many don't hear the "freeze" before the bullets hit them.

High crime area?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/08/chemtrails-us-states-legislation Trump is bad enough, but it's evident that he's actually a reflection of a significant percentage of the population. Regarding "chemtrails" (ie normal vapour trails from jet engines)... "a 2016 study showed that the idea is held to be “completely true” by 10% of Americans and “somewhat true” by a further 20%-30% of Americans." So 30 million Americans are totally delusional and another 90 million are too stupid to find their own arse without a map and a flashlight. Now it's got to the point that not only is the country well on the way to becoming a fascist dictatorship with the full consent of millions of Americans, but 8 of their own state governments are bringing in legislation to outlaw something that doesn't exist. Not sure how they are ever coming back from this.

Sounds like you need an EV Spacey. No sump, rings, pistons, cylinders, oil or petrol to worry about.

So would 6, 4 and 3 sided nuts!

Bat-packed cave?

I'd be careful. I'm not a facebook user myself, but my wife is, and she's never been asked to make a video of her face. Possibly not FB but some kind of malware.

She's bolting. That's nuts.

Wouldn't it have been pence then?

I'd happily pay 69c for 5 pieces of fruit!

I like this Guardian opinion piece on the breakdown. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/05/trump-musk-fight-fallout

Becoming?

Can they wait til he's meeting with his US puppet? Far more beneficial for the world if both are removed together.

Hence the slightly concerning phrase... "You can't have slaughter without laughter!"

I think everything with wings and a beak is descended from a small number of dinosaur species. Evolution has differentiated them into the massive and hugely successful avian world there is today. Mind-boggling when you consider the differences between a hummingbird and an emu or emperor penguin.

Well, it's happened. I have seen the light. I am a changed man, a convert, my eyes have been opened, and I see the error of my ways. Before you have concerns about my mental health, this is not a religious experience. But if I had been on the road to Damascus... it'd be astride a cruiser. As someone who's only ridden sports / sports tourers (Honda VFR750 x 2, Triumph Speed Triple, Suzuki VF750F - but that was a high-revving piece of shit) - I've always had a vague contempt for cruisers. You know, the standard stuff... they're too heavy, too slow, don't handle, can't corner, produce more noise than power, etc. However, while age doesn't always bring wisdom, it usually brings an appreciation for comfort, and a lesser appetite for risk. I'm not 20 anymore. I don't want to do 250kph, tucked down over the tank, or take corners at double the signposted recommendation. For a potted history of my riding, I started on a road/trail (Honda XL185) as my learner's bike at 18, moved to a VFR750 as soon as I had an open licence, and spent the next couple of decades (almost) riding the bikes listed above. When I became a dad at 36, I did the "responsible" thing - sold my bike and packed away the bone-dome and leathers. A while back @nomadpete said he was regretfully parting ways with his XV1100. I'd been feeling the need to start riding again (mid life crisis?) and after mulling it over for way too long, I mentioned this to my missus. To my surprise she fully supported me getting a bike, to the extent she told me to contact Peter there and then. I did, but unfortunately he'd already sold his machine a month before. A few days later however, this prince among men (still talking about Peter) messaged me with a Facebook ad for a Honda 750 Shadow. I had a look at the bike, took it for a test ride (now that was bloody scary, 17 years since I'd been on a bike and a totally different style), thought about it for a couple of days then bought it. She doesn't have a name yet (I was thinking of "H" names, like "Helen the Honda", but one of our neighbours is named Helen, so the phrase "I'm just off to ride Helen" might lead to some marital misunderstandings.) But she's 21 years old, all her chromework still looks great, and she sounds like a motorbike should. She's also very comfortable and easy to ride. This evening I rode to karate. While it was damn cold, it was a beautiful night and I really enjoyed the ride. This being my 4th ride on the bike, I'm starting to get more comfortable with her - although it'll still take a few more rides until I'm ready to have my wife on the back seat. So yes, I'm a cruiser convert. Apologies to all the Harley riders I've thought bad things about. (Only thought, because some of them are scary!) And yes, it's true. Her suspension is made for comfort, not corners. Around 80% of the engine output IS noise. (Very nice noise!) And she's much more comfortable gently swaying around curves at 60km/h than doing 110 up the highway. But now I think all those things are positive. Here she is. The photo doesn't do the colour justice - it's almost a candy apple red.

His actual words were "I'm sorry I do not have an aeroplane to give you", to which the c***-in-chief replied "If you did, I would take it".
