Is that located anywhere near the arse end of England?

Trump's idea of making America great is the same as Hitler's for Germany.

In some respects you're impressive, GON. Takes some real stubbornness to steadfastly ignore reality and double down on your viewpoint in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

I think they're both going to emerge from this election with less seats than they started with. I'm hoping for an increase in Green and sensible independents. I'd really like to see the bloody stadium dropped and that billion going to Health. Talking to our neighbours today, their daughter has epilepsy. They took her into hospital last night during her eighth seizure. Her father said it's horrible, but he prefers she's still fitting when they arrive because that way she gets taken straight in and bypasses the multi hour wait in the crowded waiting room.

I know it's bad form to quote yourself, but I just saw this... https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/jul/09/australian-cook-behind-recipetin-eats-beef-wellington-recipe-in-patterson-case-asks-for-privacy-from-tragic-situation-ntwnfb

Your doctor is recommending it, it's free, prevents a painful illness. Sounds like an easy choice to me.

I bet Nagi Maehashi was ropeable that one news site published a picture of her cookbook in relation to this murder. I've considered cooking that beef Wellington one day, with normal mushrooms of course.

As long as he doesn't sleep like a baby. You know, waking up every 3 hours wetting the bed and crying for a boob.

The sleep of the just what?

Start at the top. The biggest cause of waste in the US government sits in the oval Office.

Those thousands of dead NK and Russian soldiers were just people doing their job. Imagine the lives saved if their despotic leaders were killed instead.

Was a window involved?

Either taking or making reservations?

I have no idea, but I'll be disappointed if the last word isn't "panties".

Good, the more crazies splitting the moron vote, the better chance the Democrats have.

Who'd want to visit the USA? Its time is over. We should be forming stronger defence bonds with Europe, Canada, Japan, South Korea and NZ, as well as maintaining cordial relationships with China, India, and the rest of Asia. If saying bad things about their dictator is enough to stop visitors, their whole tourism sector is going to go tits up.

Jerry? Is that you??

The sad thing is, many of those worse affected who voted him in, will still support him as their lives worsen.

Michael Madsen has also died. Best known for his role in Reservoir Dogs, where he dances to "Stuck in the middle with you" while torturing a cop with a straight razor.

As Peter just mentioned, Trumps "Big Beautiful Bill" has passed. This bill is beautiful for billionaires, because they benefit hugely from tax cuts. It's very much horrible for most Americans, removing vast amounts of money from health, food assistance programs, education and environment. This is so it can pay for those tax cuts for the wealthy, as well as increasing the size of ICE's budget by a factor of 14 (from $3.5b to $48.5b). Despite these cuts it will still add 3.3 TRILLION dollars of debt over the next decade. This, by any objective view, is a terrible and harmful bill. The people it affects the most are the poorest, and ironically, their "representatives" in the Republican party are the ones who pushed it through - against their own interests, their political interests, and the interests of their constituents. Why? I can only think that Trump and his MAGA freaks, so similar to Hitler and his Brownshirts, have such a grip of fear on house Republicans that they do not have the courage to stand up to him, even on such a disgusting piece of legislation. What else can explain why they would vote for something so wrong? Many of them had publicly spoken out against the bill in the days before they passed it. Seeing this travesty makes me so glad we don't have a "cult of personality" type head of state here in Australia. I'm actually starting to think that remaining a monarchy and being kind of attached to the UK is no bad thing. Let's face it, no one is going to throw themselves on a grenade for Albo or Sussan. They are simply the politician who happens to lead their party, not an emperor-wannabe who wants to impose his twisted desires on the whole country. We have sufficient distance from our "King" that neither he nor his successors have any influence over our country. I kind of think of England as the old parent's place; America is the rebellious older child who left and joined a religious cult, Australia is the younger but more mature kid who lives apart from Mum or Dad but still gets on ok with them.

Some of his top brass tried, there was a bomb attempt. Operation Valkyrie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_July_plot

And a way of giving birth.

I thought it was the French who were better known for eating p... oh wait, that's different...
