    For those specifications you`re not going to get many for that price, but perhaps Noem has now shot her horse as well as her dog and on discovering her horse wasn`t bulletproof feels the need for one.

    He does have a crown though, he was given one in Japan. I thought that was a really good touch!

    I'm sure that will do wonders for the already crippled tourist industry. Another shakedown

    Pope being a bit mouthy here. Implying they should bully or make them suffer to force change. I’m not defending Venezuela here it’s just strange talk for a man of god. You can take the man out of American but not America out of the man I suppose.

    Asked during a news conference about President Trump's threats to remove Mr Maduro by force, the Pope said: "It is better to search for ways of dialogue, or perhaps pressure, including economic pressure."

    He added that Washington should search for other ways to achieve change "if that is what they want to do in the United States".

    The Pope was speaking as he flew home from a visit to Turkey and Lebanon - his first overseas trip in the role.

    It won't matter who gets in from here on. The American slide has started, Trump is just strapping a turbo to it. The dollars position as the reserve currency is already in question. Saudi Arabias acceptance of Chinese Yuan shows that countries are comfortable with other payment forms. The BRICS countries even had discussions on their own currency which would be difficult to implement with basket cases like South Africa and Russia on board.

    It can't be underestimated how beneficial being the reserve currency is to the US. They always have foreign money being invested, they can print money and export the inflation. When the correction comes it will create a seismic shock across the US. Living standards will drop dramatically, inflation will go through the roof. It was on the cards already but Trumps actions have put the lid on the coffin and nailed it shut. Within 20years the US will face a reckoning they never thought they'd ever see. And being Trillions in debt will be like adding napalm to the flames.

    Apparently Trump is trying to reconcile the effects his control of the economy has on the average family weekly budget. He's having a pop at the last Admin for creating the worst ever inflation and for her [guess who] emptying the coffers claiming things are better now since he took over, price of fuel is down.

    Distraction and denial in one go, that's actual saving, though not of his face, or skin hopefully.

    And Trump gives a full and complete pardon to Honduras ex-president, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was serving a 45 year U.S federal prison sentence yesterday for involvement in [exporting] cocaine in the U.S. after a trial last year.

    “I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly,” Trump wrote in a social media post on Tuesday.

    Trump is still continuing to turn the U.S into a shithole, MAGA now meaning Making America God Awful.

    Hernandez was involved in the importation of 400 tonnes of cocaine.
    400 tonnes, of highly addictive, life destroying narcotics!

    But?

    Much like the normal course of justice in the states?
    Money talks and a man who can shift that much weight can buy himself a get out of jail card.
    Another pump for that Trump crypto!

    Whatever Putin said to Trump it scared the bejayus out of him and showed him up as a shyte talking billionaire based on daddy's money .He's selling Ukraine out and buying Palestinian on the Med . The only thing he sees are $ signs .

    Even the professional arse kissers in North Korea would think this nonsense is a bit much



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,161 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    if those smugglers on the boats had made it to America and were rich they could have got a pardon.

    Hopefully when the Dems come back in, Trump family wealth will be destroyed/confiscated worldwide as well as their mates and used to replenish the forced poor of US by Trump to recover.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,592 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Do ye remember when music played at Trump rallies held a hidden meaning that gently mocked Trump?

    Well, kudos to the staff who organised this fitting typo....

    I saw this on a news report and thought my eyes were deceiving me. Maybe the extra S stands for "snake". Or "spanner". Take your pick, I suppose.

    What's an ecretary of War, and why does the SS have one?

    For all the talk of founding fathers of getting away from Kings, they didn't half come up with a stupid solution which is little more than Kingship without the crown.

    I have some bad news for you:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,108 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I really need to finish the thread before posting.

    "scotch"?

    Or maybe just the "SS" inference is reich after all...

    Trump: Somalians ripped off Minnesota for billions of dollars, and they contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks. I can say this about other countries too…

    Ilhan Omar is garbage. Her friends are garbage…They do nothing but bitch. Let them go back to where they came from

    He's a **** despicable racist. I'm happy for any of his supporters / sychophants to fight me on this.

    He's the president of the United States FFS.

    Look how far they've fallen. *This* is acceptable apparently.

    That quote is one you'd expect from a drunken hobo at the corner of a road.

    As a heavy indebted country the US may face the constraints their ‘Washington consensus’ imposed on developing countries via the IMF/ World Bank since the 70’s. Developing countries were unable to develop while repaying.debt in dollars. Compound interest served to make the debts beyond the capacity of any govt to pay.

    What the Western powers have done to others may soon be done onto them.

    Unfortunately I think you may be correct.

    Stupid people have to learn the hard way, especially when a national arrogance is at the heart of their stupidity. The Dems should probably throw the next election and sit back an watch the next Republican tart make a balls of everything as well.

    In the heal of the hunt however, a lot of decent Americans are going to get hard done by while they're waiting for the idiots to catch up.

    One thing the Republicans are very good at is lying. They lie like they breathe and their lies work on the audience they aim them at. Even now, when the economy is circling the drain, groceries are sky high and Trump is obviously looking to enrich himself, the lies that they are "fixing things" are still working on the stupid.

    You can't fix that.

    ’Affordability’ is the latest democrat hoax according to trump…after calling himself ‘The Affordability President’ a little over a month ago. And the seals still clap

    Probably from all the bondage? Or from too many press ups? Or bashing Somalis? Something manly like that. Definitely not from having an IV drip. No siree. Not for the fittest (for prison) president ever!

    Tennessee-7 votes coming in now. Republican seat. Democrat Aftyn Behn so far ahead 53.1.4-45.7 with 38% of votes in. Behn so far is on 84% in Davidson county, which includes part of Nashville. Behind a few percentages ahead in Montgomery county too. Previously, Davidson county was the only Democrat county. It's not over though. I would assume sane-day voted would be more Republican.

    Van Epps the Republican is ahead in the rural counties but by less, and in some ones much less, than Greene in 2024.

    In 2024 Greene won the seat around 54-38. Most voted in so far are early votes.

    The seat has been Republican for 40 years

    Trump ally David Urban thinks it will end up with Van Epps ahead by 6%.

    Controversy during campaign about her "defund the police" remarks during the George Floyd protests in 2020, and remarks where she said she hated Nashville and country music.

    This was Mark Greenes said but I think he has a job in the Trump admin now.

    German army chief Lt-General Christian Freudling says the Pentagon has cut off contact with the German defence ministry.
