    Apparently because the hurricane season will shortly be starting in the U.S, whatever about the weather occurring in the U.S presently, the Trump Admin have Cameron Hamilton lined up to head FEMA after he is approved by Congress. Hamilton was fired from that job last year after he had differences with Kirsti Noem and Corey Lewandowski: allegedly they wanted him to take a lie detector test to confirm that he was loyal to Trump. He went before congress last year and testified that he DID NOT believe it would be in the best interests that FEMA should be disestablished after hearing that he might be fired.

    It seems that under the new head of DHS, some of Noems' cutbacks are being reviewed. This is despite the fact that Trump was a promoter of the idea that FEMA should be scrapped after last years Hurricane season.

    there are 500,000 textual variants in the New Testament. They can somehow still say that despite variability and sometimes downright contradiction in the Gospel accounts, that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. This I will never fathom. It requires next level cognitive dissonance.

    This war in Iran was a play to weaken China and Europe. Stop the energy, push up the price, hurt both economies. It hasn't worked out as they wanted as they weren't smart enough to figure out how much it would hurt themselves. Now they're desperate to get out. If he had dragged Europe in they'd have put holes in budgets on top of fuel shortages and they might have had more success.

    When you see soldiers walking around with no legs, that was Iran that did that

    I don’t know how anybody can consider themselves Catholic and pro-Trump/anti-Papist. There is this Soviet-style, flood the decks with Woo-Woo nonsense campaign at play, with a big drive to deal with the topic of UFOs and a serious faction pushing the notion that scientists are being murdered because of their development of anti-gravity technology. It all suggests to me the promotion of the post-empirical era, where people no longer know what to believe and the dismissal of objective fact. When they are seriously arguing in Congress that Aliens (or to borrow their term Non-Human Intelligence) walk amongst us, is it such a leap to see why people believe in satanic plots and anti-Christ popes and similar bull crap. This is mass propaganda designed to perplex the masses

    but nobody is benefiting from the wild fluctuations in the market. Promise



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 520 ✭✭✭tarvis


    People with more wealth than they could spend in 20 lifetimes, benefiting from the loss of the only wealth available to thousands of people - their homes their families and their very lives.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,172 ✭✭✭BettyS


    see, you and I Tarvis would think of the poor couple that have worked all their life and scrimped every penny together, living decently, to invest in their pension. And now, suddenly, losing this money will mean that they cannot put their heating on when they need it. Or go on the holiday to Spain that they were planning. Or continue their VHI, even though their hip is starting to bother them. These are the real victims of the fluctuations. Or the person who is in a minimum-wage job, who put aside money they couldn’t afford, because they believe that the crypto is their only escape from the grind. This crypto is their life-savings. But Tarvis, it is because we remember the individual and the pain for them that we would never get that obnoxiously rich. The people profiting off the misery of others have no conscience

    Trump says Iran have been blocking the strait for years. I thought it only happened recently thanks to Trump and co.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,172 ✭✭✭BettyS


    he literally just says stuff with enough chutzpah that his base lap it up and don’t even know how to bloody fact check



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,146 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Well Iran said they agreed to not have a nuclear bomb, but they were attacked because they have one. America has control of the skies, but then why are America are still there?

    This is what you get with no strategy, whatsoever.

    As per The Atlantic:

    On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.”

    Patel oversees an agency that employs roughly 38,000 people, including many who are trained to investigate and verify information that can be presented under oath in a court of law. News of his emotional outburst ricocheted through the bureau, prompting chatter among officials and, in some corners of the building, expressions of relief. The White House fielded calls from the bureau and from members of Congress asking who was now in charge of the FBI.
    It turned out that the answer was still Patel. He had not been fired. The access problem, two people familiar with the matter said, appears to have been a technical error, and it was quickly resolved. “It was all ultimately bullshit,” one FBI official told me.

    ...

    Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government. They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned’s in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff. He is also known to drink to excess at the Poodle Room, in Las Vegas, where he frequently spends parts of his weekends. Early in his tenure, meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights, six current and former officials and others familiar with Patel’s schedule told me.

    On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request.

    ...

    Many of the people who spoke with me said that they have been afraid to reveal their concerns about Patel publicly or through traditional whistleblower channels, because he has been aggressive in cracking down on anyone he deems insufficiently loyal. At Patel’s direction, FBI employees are polygraphed in an effort to identify leakers. One former official told me that bureau employees have been asked in these sessions for opinions about Patel’s perceived “enemies,” as well as whether they have ever said anything disparaging about the director or the president.

    Nothing to be concerned about there at all.....citizens of the US in the first instance can sleep soundly at night knowing they are in good hands with this fine upstanding human as its director .....

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭somenergy


    Trump has deliberately put the worst people in administration to make him look good and congress impotent



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,142 ✭✭✭Paulzx


    To make him look good?

    Don't think that's working out for him🤣

    https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/how-joe-rogan-convinced-trump-to-fast-track-review-of-psychedelic-drugs-3618fd73

    I remember a few months back we had some pretty good debates around Rogan in relation to Trump, Kamala etc.

    I see he's in the WH today pushing for Trump to increase research into drugs used to treat PTSD and other disorders.

    A clip from today where he refers to him as liberal which was one of the main talking points we had around Joe a while back here.

    And another of Joe giving his take.

    I'm on the verge of a site ban. Please don't rage bait me, I'm easily triggered especially late at night!

    Given that the health secretary had his hand covering his face while Trump was talking about Joe and how he respects him, would it indicate Kennedy disagrees with Trump or was an earlier section of the video edited out?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,758 ✭✭✭fly_agaric


    Joe Rogan - another American "character" who should have remained safely inside the boundaries of reality TV and gameshows, encouraging people to eat bugs for money! The world was better off for it.
