Jeez Barney. You really should take a pull. Relax. They have ould tablets for this kind of stuff now. Try to see the bright side of life.

Replying To TheFlaker:  "Everything will increase if he follows through on half his stupid ideas. Prices were high pre election? You should work for Fox News lad.

Stopped sending money to the Ukraine? What's your point? He said he would end the war in 24 hours. The Gaza idea is a stupid idea. Can you not acknowledge how crazy his ideas are?"
I don't like Foxnews no more than you especially since the 2020 "election". Yes prices were high pre Election. Look up Bidenflation. Yes he stopped sending money to Ukraine as I believe he should. They're a first world country let them fund it. As for the GAZA IDEA just look what he INHERITED. Will it work? I have no idea but it can't be worse than the last two years have been for the people there. He INHERITED Ukraine and GAZA from the previous guy so at least give him a chance rather than praying for failure.

Noone in America inherited Gaza or the Ukraine. Both those conflicts date back to before Colombus went to the Americas.

I meant the LATEST versions. They weren't a big issue during Trumps 2016-2020 term but flared up under the last guy.

Settlers only arrived after 1945 really. We all know the historical reasons why but they make increasingly less sense.

There is no valid basis for lads from Ukraine or New York being allowed take somone else land. On basis of religious affliliation. Its absurd.

Exactly same as happened here if you need a precedent.

Who is praying for failure. Simply an analysis of his comments. If Biden was saying what he said they would say he needs to be hidden away. Even his comments on Canada, which he isn't backing down on are ridiculous.

Also not to mention Musk making billions off investing in his campaign. And been given full access to everything. Mad stuff.

And people on here argued with me on this issue when i brought it up.

There were a lot of people in Germany and other countries that supported Hitler History about to repeat itself and already the people who were hailing Trump first time around are starting to hide in the weeds. Like my farming friends in Canada but I will keep reminding them. The joke is gone out of taking Greenland and Canada. It is not just Trump but much more dangerous people pumping his tires. He is just a fool looking for notice but a dangerous one. They now have a plan to get the minerals and resources they need by annexing Canada. Attempts to unstabilize Canada's government and health system well underway. Democracy is finished in the U.S. Not that it was ever one anyway. By the end of this year the power of the house and senate will be gone. Getting these issues into the courts was always the plan and then up to the supreme court that MAGA and trump control. They have planned a path around the constitution. All they ever needed the public for was to put them in power. It is hard to believe that the public don't see where this is going. He has told them they will never have to vote again. Listen to what he is telling you. Does he not always say what he means? They people who voted for him will disappear and claim they never did. History for sure about to repeat itself. I am a conservative and the liberal left are as much to blame for providing no proper opposition.

That's a pretty damning take on world politics at the minute but you may not be too far off the mark. I think that those who have been pushing that Project 25 and its original doctrines have latched onto the realisation that Mr T will push their agenda because it sounds good and suits his ego - and he has the popular vote four square behind him. We really are living in dangerous times. Canada, Greenland, Panama and a Las Vegas in Gaza. Where next ?

Next is Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal.

Musk is shining a flashlight on government waste in the Billions. USAID has a lot to answer for. Biden WAS hidden away for most of his Presidency. The so called debate exposed the World to what a lot of us suspected and then the Democrats panicked and picked Harris to take his place without any kind of Primary. I'll take Trumps tongue in cheek comments any day over a Wide Open Border where human trafficking, fentanyl, drug cartels, etc were flourishing. Unlike the Left he knows how many genders there are. He knows men should NOT be in Women's Sports. He will end taxes on Social Security which will help the elderly, end taxes on TIPS which will help low earners, etc.

The Democratic Party should hang their heads in shame, not a whimper over mass slaughter of men women and children, but of course some people in this country still don't get it. For the record I detest both parties in American politics with equal measure.

Trump ending taxes on Social security? Low income people don't pay taxes on their social security anyway, so this won't benefit them. What it would do is deplete the funding of social security, and bring it to insolvency quicker. Trump like any other politician, promises things he will never deliver, such as no tax on overtime, no tax on tips etc…. All talk, pretty similar to Biden's student loan cancellation. I suspect that Trump will be a lame duck president, his proposals will be challenged in court, and as he can be only in power for 4 years, he'll be all bluster and noise but will get nothing done. Nothing changes much whether it's Republicans or Democrats are in power!

Very good post! Hitler also was making Germany great again in 1930's, whilst building highways and pushing Volkswagen along. He then proceeded to invade Poland as Trump is trying to annex Canada. However, Hitler came to a sticky end, and Trump is just generating lots of noise, and will not accomplish anything. His real objective is to align himself with billionaires, enrich himself with crypto, stock market etc, and he will not care one iota about any regulations. He and Melania already launched their own crypto after Trump said he's going to have USA be the Bitcoin world leader. His heroes are Musk, Putin and every other dictator in the world!

He knows how to keep himself in the news, and what's trending on social media.

Well, like it or not, this is the way democracy works, so somebody has to steer the ship. The fact that the US has a 2 party system, each of which seems on complete opposite ends of the social "spectrum" presently, is unfortunate for world order, and as you say, hasn't been for a number of years. On another negative note, Mr Ts statement on the Gaza situation in the last few hours doesn't bode well for the unfortunate citizens of that part of the world either. "Let all hell break loose ". If we thought it couldn't get any worse for them, this doesn't sound good. Hopefully sanity will prevail.

Musk is a billionaire businessman who is also mad as a brush. He has already admitted he is shutting down departments without knowing the full impact. And said if it causes a problem he will simply put them back in. Mad stuff. Imagine if the Democrats accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from a wacky businessman and then gave him the keys of the kingdom? And he wasn't a US citizen? The republicans and their supporters would never be off the airwaves screaming how disgraceful it is.

Wide open border? Fox News talking point there. Who says men should be in womens sports? It is barely an issue and it's down to one boxer in the Olympics. And Trump and his supporters didn't even have their facts right on that. Also taxes on social security and no taxes on tips were bi partisan ideas . Harris had already made those promises.

He's creating. Difficult for media to turn down cash from the Trump glare and the clickbait revenue it generates. Inadvertently he had a good teacher in Obama who exploited social media for the good. Trump brings streetwise dark arts that Obama wouldn't consider. He's like the annoying underestimated corner back that plays for the opposition who just mouths off at the class corner forward to try and put him off his game. Any half decent player will underestimate him keep on ignoring him and play their own game to their own strengths. Not the Democrats though. Whatever campaigns they were running the message didn't get out there other than ignore crazy Trump. He'd never have been elected 30 years ago. He's surrounded himself with good advisors with a bunch of tech and algorithms that can control the media focus and influence US voters. Undeniably crazy but has done alright for a man with little or no political experience before his first campaign.
