Do you still LOVE how Trump is doing it? Why would you risk going THERE to watch the soccer? Too risky.  It's a $#!thole now. Those people went there for the Holiday of a Lifetime and got  treated in a way that shouldn't be tolerated in ANY CIVILISED Country.Nev

Says it all, really.

 

I may have mentioned this already, but I have a friend in Portand, OR, who has been diagnosed with Parkinsons. I would love to go over and see him, but, what appearsa a not so irrational fear of being locked up.

Trumps complete lunacy know no bounds. He has announced that a Hospital ship is on its way to Greenland to care of many people who are sick & not being cared for. Greenlands PM has declined to accept it.

 

What happened was a Danish sailor got sick & was transported 7NM to Nuuck by Seahawk helicopter for treatment. Apart from that nothing. Greenland has a free healthcare system & you have to pay for everything in the US. Also social media posts say that both of the American hospital ships are at a shipyard in Mobile Alabama. When asked for comment the navy referred callers to the White House.

In the article ...

 

"You only really appreciate your freedom when you’ve had it taken away"

 

That's how I felt when I was conscripted.

 

Here's a young bloke being dragged away for conscription. The Fed Government made sure he lost his freedom for two years - or go to jail for two years.

 

 

In the article, it says Karen's husband's visa ran out - why didn't he try to get it renewed straight away? Look what happened to them. They got detained for months.

 

What we've got to do now, is make sure those female ISIS muslims and their kids are kept out of Australia. Albanese said "They made their bed, now they've got to lay in it"  

Are you serious?

This poor couple made an administrative mistake and you think that deserves months in prison?

Meantime you try to link it back (once again) to something that happened to you 50 years ago?

 

I give up. Live in your upside down bubble.

Pauline Hanson was jailed for the same thing.

[Litespeed]

Poorline was jailed for corruption.

 

Not the same

[facthunter]

There's NO valid comparison at all. No proper process was involved with the ICE procedure. The Courts were involved HERE.. EVENTUALLY she was let out.,  T Abot Created a special fund for the Purpose of taking her to Court, which was a Bit questionable. Nev

I just heard there's going to be a Trump Tower on the Gold Coast.

One more reason to avoid it

Sorry - they only allow a number of guest reads before the lock it down. Basically Chump is demanding an ex Obaba admin official be removed from the Netflix board. So much for capitalism. He is showing he is a communist by having the state effective operate the economy.

Re Trump on teh Gold Coast. One hopes that the local Trades and suppliers remember that Trump doesn't pay his bills. They should refuse  to have anything to do with it. 

 

At the moment, the only deal that has been signed is with a design company. The Development Application hasn't been submitted. But DAs have never mattered to Trump.

[facthunter]

1.5 Bill $$$'s apparently. Somebody should tell him there's a higher one in Melbourne. Nev

[red750]

Australia 108 is Melbourne’s tallest building, standing at 316.7 meters (1,039 feet) in architectural height.  Completed in September 2020, it is the tallest residential skyscraper in Australia to roof and the first supertall building in the Southern Hemisphere with at least 100 floors. Located at 70 Southbank Boulevard, Southbank, Victoria, it surpassed the Eureka Tower as Melbourne’s tallest structure and remains the city’s tallest building as of 2026

 

From the Australia 108 website,

I cannot think of a location more befitting of a Trump golden grift tower.

 

Highly unlikely though. In spite of the Aussie building federation's dubious reputation, even they are unlikely to fall for a deal with such an untrustworthy developer. In our country we DO have honour among our thieves.

Yeah, but it isn't as bigly gold plated as ant trumpey place.

[onetrack]

It'll be a BIG BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN-CLAD TRUMP TOWER! - you just wait and see! It'll be clad in all that stuff that gave the GOLD COAST its name!! 😄 

[Jerry_Atrick]

I wonder if the cladding will be fireproof?
