King Trump had a royal attendance with other royals in the last week. He had supper with many royals and about 200 other people. The upper classes of UK society. He gave a speech that insulted the intelligence of everyone else at the banquet. He went on for about five minutes rewriting the history of the NATO Afghanistan conflict. Then he went on to blame President Biden for causing the Russian Ukrainian war. The King of England showed real class because the cameras were on him when King Trump elaborated on his fable polishing Putin's image. His face showed neither surprise nor disdain for the insult.

Perhaps it will be something you can tell your grandchildren when you get into your golden years twenty years from now. Two impeachments, two assassination attempts and he doubled down after each one. Finally lived up to his true potential.

Ah!, the middle road, the centre. Or "The government you elect is the government you deserve" as Thomas Jefferson put it. Other countries have social media yet deep social divisions don't exist. Other countries have mentally ill yet mass shootings are almost non existent. Other countries face economic challenges yet rampant drug abuse is seldom seen. What other countries don't have is a twice impeached, convicted felon, convicted rapist, convicted and multiple admitted fraudster and narcissist as King. But there is HOPE "Worst presidential cabinets Historical surveys cite the following presidential cabinets among the worst in U.S. history, predominantly due to issues of incompetence, corruption, and scandal: 1. Warren G. Harding’s (Rep., 1921-1923) cabinet is widely regarded as the worst of the worst due to the infamous Teapot Dome scandal, widespread corruption among cabinet members, and for exemplifying poor cabinet selection due to cronyism and misconduct. 2. Ulysses S. Grant’s (Rep., 1869-1877) cabinet was plagued by corruption, the Whiskey Ring scandal, the Crédit Mobilier affair, and unethical governance. 3. Donald J. Trump’s (Rep., 2017-2021 and 2025-2029) cabinets have been widely criticized for their lack of qualifications, record-setting high turnover rates, appointments based on loyalty over capability, conflicts of interest, stark public dissatisfaction, and poorly vetted appointees, but approved by Republican Senators..... From a cabinet member’s perspective, Trump’s two attempts at being president are near the bottom of 47 presidencies. Rigorous historical research would suggest this does not bode well that the 2025-2029 time period will be successful. With all of the chaos, uncertainty, dictatorial behavior, flip-flopping, and 192 executive orders, 47 memoranda, and 79 proclamations brought to the table by Mr. Trump since Jan. 20 and controversial cabinet member actions, the proverb “hope springs eternal” has to be Americans’ guide to find optimism. A second proverb—“you reap what you sow”—is before Mr. Trump and the GOP Senators who approved the cabinet nominations. Let’s face reality. A cabinet that ranks historically low with respect to competence, ethical standards, experience, and other competency criteria makes the U.S. vulnerable to a multitude of operational inefficiencies, policy blunders, ethical mishaps, scandals, conflicts of interest, conspiracies, and foreign intervention" With only eight months into King Trump's 2.0 there is still time to be number one.

When Trump is gone, done in by a Big Mac induced cardiac event, or something more directly related to his behaviours. When MAGA is played out and understood to be sham economics. Everyone will know exactly what happened. A toxic blend of religion and fascism played upon the vulnerability of a flawed constitution. One that let religion infiltrate the courts. Hate infiltrate the state. But finally political violence or the ballot box. Or a combination of the two flushed the heretics down the toilet of history.

Woooow there Jerry your age is showing. Trump messaging is whats good on the right and what shows off America favourably. Its the rest of history that must be forgotten. New textbooks across the line coming soon and then burn the old..

Happy birthday Jerry Everybody likes old people here. From all your friends in SC.

This is the yacht owned by a middle east billionaire that Trump's daughter Tiffany spent the summer cruising on. "Phoenix 2, is a floating palace with two helipads, a swimming pool and an 18-foot bronze figurehead of a flaming phoenix rising from its bow. It is not available to charter. But when it last was, it rented for over $1.4 million per week, with the listing highlighting an Art Deco interior and custom Steinway piano." Her hubby holds no political office yet is negotiating oil deals and infrastructure projects on behalf of US state policy. Here is his picture, he is on the far left. This is a state dinner with Trump and a couple of Trump's friends. I hate to be the one endlessly pointing out US corruption. But somebody has to do the dirty jobs.

A decision thats made before a judge who looks at the evidence and the character of the defendant.

Agree, I hate fluff and b.s. and when I can read I'll skip to the relevant parts. Many videos have personal narrative v just give me the facts. That why I love accurate, trustworthy polls.

The takeover of a state by a dictator starts with intimidation, control of thought and speech. Democrats need to stop being intimidated by the Trump clan. Or piece by piece they will be devoured.

American right wing anti-WOKE madness is out of control. The entire executive of ABC needs to be fired for lack of backbone. Trump started by successfully shaking down law firms, then universities, then corporations. Trump was paid bribe money because corporations needed government approval to merge. Cash to Trump gets government approval or gets a cross-hair on their back if bribes are not paid.

Speaking of Russian disinformation and Kirk. Here is Kirk in the UK debating a Cambridge professor.

I'm sure there are other insurers. F-them. Or get a exemption of coverage in the event of a gear up landing. You can't sell a Mooney for a fixed gear. Retractable gear was invented to save the environment. On the positive side you're three years older than Bob Hoover when he parked his headset for the last time.

"This summer, Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Middle East envoy, paid a visit to the coast of Sardinia, a stretch of the Mediterranean Sea crowded with super yachts. On one of those extravagant vessels, Mr. Witkoff sat down with a member of the ultrarich ruling family of the United Arab Emirates. He was meeting Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan,...Over the past few months, Mr. Witkoff and Sheikh Tahnoon had ..become business partners, testing the limits of ethics rules while enriching the president, his family and his inner circle, ... At the heart of their relationship are two multibillion-dollar deals. One involved a crypto company founded by the Witkoff and the Trump families that benefited both financially. The other involved a sale of valuable computer chips that benefited the Emirates economically.... One of Sheikh Tahnoon’s investment firms would deposit $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency start-up founded by the Witkoffs and Trumps." All in exchange for approvals by the US government to sell chips to the UAE for their AI program. Cha-ching the Trump cash register keeps ringing every day..

OK. What is her position on this, and what do you disagree with about it? No music videos please. 1) I don't think loans should be forgiven. I prefer a government program that transitions them into a zero, or almost zero, interest loan. That way the government still gets their money back and the debtors have an easier time paying them back. 2) Your definition of a useless degree is probably different than mine. Andy Warhol got a degree in art. So did Georgia O'Keeffe. Dale Chihuly got a degree in interior design art. Carl Sagan got a Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Chicago University. Madeleine Albright - political science degree. Michael Eisener got a degree in English and then became CEO of Disney for 30 years. I'd argue none of those people were "useless" or considered their degrees useless. ASWM? The Association for the Study of Women and Mythology? They'd make a very, very small list. Or the misspelling of SWM, per your question about DEI? In that case it would make quite a long list, since DEI covers veterans, the disabled, the poor and recent immigrants who don't have access to education. Isn't it against forum rules to humiliate and embarrass other posters by using facts like torpedoes that sink their entire arguments?
