Hi Keith, Not quite. I believe JD never truly became a Trumper. I think that he and others are simply using Trump to further their agenda and personal lust for power. The evangelicals and racist extremes (Mike Johnson, Steven Miller etc) would back whoever furthers their agenda most. Unlike the dems who shielded you all from Biden’s issues, I believe they will stick the knife in as soon as the liabilities grow. Sadly, the dems handling of Biden’s health give more legitimacy to a ‘coup’ due to health and potentially greater support to a JD take over. As to whether Americans like JD or not, that isn’t really an issue. The extremists are emboldened to think they can do what they like.

The groundwork is being laid to oust Trump. The reporting on his health concerns is ramping up and he’s losing support of the hard core racists. My money has been on JD taking over, I had anticipated it being after midterms, but I’m prepared to say it will be by the years end now. Miller and Co need the Nazi support to continue their agenda.

He’s a better artist than human being.

I took it to mean that if a country is trading with Russia you guys will tariff them 100% on their trade with you. If done correctly, secondary tariffs could be a useful tool. Of course Trump and competence don’t really do together.

Why the fuck do people keep striking his ego? Donald Trump has once again made a major sporting event all about himself — this time by keeping the official Club World Cup trophy and a winner’s medal, while the actual champions were handed a replica.

Forget weed, that’s some strong crack if you believe the US has rule of law. Masked men who refuse to identify themselves, grabbing people off the street? In a country with the rule of law you don’t do what that arsehole did. But I get it “only pure bred, blonde, blue eyed Merikan’s” are welcome.

Interesting turn of events in the Epstein files. Jon Stewart did a piece on how it’s biting Trump in the arse as he rose to power by feeding conspiracy theories and is struggling to put this back in a box. He also said Trump calling them “phoney” is a huge tell. Now Trump has gone on a rampage saying the Epstein files are fake and created by Hillary Clinton and Obama. As a side note, I do believe the extremely rich and powerful do get to the point where they justify extreme cruelty and illegal behaviour. One only has to look at the data on how many CEO’s are psychopaths etc. I’m not saying it’s all of them, and it’s definitely not along party lines. Look at Diddy and also the young women who are used as entertainment at sex parties in the Middle East (most recent news I saw a young woman was dumped with a broken spine and other bones).

Sad to say I think that’s some American bias. I think the US is the single greatest threat to world peace (at the moment). USA, Russia and Israel are all top contenders. Gone from leaders of the free world to leaders of the Theocracies and Lunatics.

Iraq WMD story all over again. Pentagon just learned about search and replace in MS Word.

I hate it when Trump gets his way. But unfortunately at least on luxury items he’s actually been successful in “the original country pays the bill”. There’s been a fair amount of grumbling as some brands have raised global prices so that they can absorb the tariffs and not pass on the increase to US consumers. Birkenstock (think that’s the spelling was the one that got lots of headlines).

Dry counties and Walmart stopping selling Alcohol on Sundays always amused me. Honestly if some of those people in the Bible Belt went to the Middle East they would feel quite at home.

There are lots of gods out there. Jesus is a brown god so not quite sure which one he’s referring to

So in around 50 years the US went from segregation to concentration camps with a little detour through DEI and equality. I wonder if the next step is just killing them? I mean it’s cheaper and easier.
