Well, all 3 birds are carnivorous, so I guess you're in the club!

Trump's checklist for building a fascist goverment (Part I)

The common retort to calling Trump 'fascist' is that it's merely the left upset that someone they don't like is in government. But it's important to judge his actions cumulatively.

My daughter has a team in a social basketball league and entered their team name as "bye". They've ended up winning their first 4 games by forfeit because the other team didn't show up.

AI beautiful set of numbers - I've done the math for Peter Dutton.

Peter Dutton’s only savings measure so far to pay for his hundreds of billions of dollars of promises is
the cutting of 36,000 public servants (details of who to come after the election), saving $24 billion over
4 years. The press have reported this just a bit. Here is the math part: this equates to $666,666.66 per
public servant sacked !

Nice numbers - like something Ozzy Osborne, Aleister Crowley or Sussan Ley might come up with.
Probably Sussan given she’s in the Libs and is a self confessed numerologist.

Anyway, this further breaks down to annual salary of $166,666.66 per public servant. Now, I think this
is cloud cuckoo land stuff as the average public servant would earn half that, even including their super.

Are Frontier Economics at it again ? Or is it KPMG this time ? Maybe Angus is using Seri now ?

Sedge ....... mate ........

Just wondering, in your lifetime, have YOU ever been WRONG about something ?

And then later changed your viewpoint 180 degrees in the face of overwhelming factual evidence ?

It is actually OK to admit when you're wrong about something.

I've heard that even some of the most far down the QAnon rabbit hole type cookers post covid are now slowly converting back to "reality".

So there is hope for you yet.

Now ..... repeat after me - "Trump, Elon, the mascara wearing Vance and the rest of the MAGA crowd are just self interested flat out crazy, dangerous narcissistic fuckwits who are making the world an infinitely worse place to live."

See ....... you feel better already !

@Sedge

Firstly, let's get this out in the open:

I'm not going to be taking your bait. However, I will respond (not React) to your position/opinion. Ergo, I will not be drawn into any emotive exchange with you by way of labelling, name-calling, gaslighting, ad-hominem attacks etc...etc.., which you have explicitly tried on me recently with little result.

However, I hereby reserve the right to use humour, parody, pathos, sarcasm & a few other multisyllabic words that come to me in passing (without resorting to a dictionary or thesaurus to look-up their meaning).

Firstly ,,respond and acknowledge are two different words with different meanings ,,

No shit, Sherlock!! English happens to be my first language, so my use & comprehension of it is not in need of improvement or guidance from you. However, thank you for your supercilious, condescending & patronising instruction.

You may have noticed that my written English, spelling, punctuation, articulation & syntax are all reasonably acceptable within polite society. I can also say Fuck when required for emphasis.

I am also (rusty) conversant in French & have a smattering of German, Russian, Czech, Bahasa Malay & Pidgin. 'Can't for the life of me remember anything of the Thai I learned, however.

You were the first to use the word acknowledge ,,by wanting me to acknowledge your OPINION of Musk..

Correct. It would be beneficial if you took off those Rose-Coloured glasses you have of Trump et-al & acknowledge that wherever you stand, there will always be an alternative perspective/opinion. It helps if you start with acknowledgement of that, rather than instantaneously dismissing the possibility that there is another viewpoint.

But you turned it around by saying you responded to the list of things trump had done ,,

I didn't turn anything around. I responded to that list of "achievements" (which you erroneously ascribed to Trump's OWN, PERSONAL hard work & tireless commitment to the office of POTUS) objectively.

I read the whole list of "achievements" that you cut/pasted (which, BTW, I read in its entirety & promptly fell asleep) by asking whether you would swallow the same litany of propaganda/drivel if it had emanated from Russia/China/Nth. Korea etc. etc with the same alacrity.

I guess you have a different perspective about cutting & pasting stuff, depending on whether it fits with your personal perception, or not.

How anyone could have achieved ALL of those things ALONE, whilst frequently disappearing to play golf & attending orchestrated media conferences whilst the world was in the grip of a pandemic astounds me!

Yep you responded in a typical TDS way ,,but no acknowledgment came from you ,,and that’s the way you deranged lot react ,,so no surprise there.

I had to look-up the acronym "TDS" & chuckled to myself when I read the explanation.

"You deranged lot" is pejorative & could be equally ascribed to those from either side of the coin. However, you took the ad-hominem approach & directed it at me (not for the first time, as you have now tried to label me personally as "Leftie" & "Deranged").

I would cordially invite you to take a look in the mirror.

Perhaps if you knew how to truely “observe things” in an “objective” way you would have acknowledged trumps accomplishments,,but that seems beyond your capabilities.

Already covered.

My comprehension of history is pretty good coz I remember what happened ,,unlike you who had no idea of what was going on ,and just copy and paste something you thought would trump what I said ,,,pun intended.
Because if you took note that I was talking about the “Abraham accords” you wouldn’t have got it mixed up with the “peace agreement”…they are two different things …again you seem to have a problem separating one thing from the other,,

Ad hominem again.........

Not that you would’ve known though,,your research is crap.

Ad hominem again

And trump wasn’t trying to take credit for decades of negotiations ,,,that’s just more simpleton nonesense you learned from the deranged propaganda that you obviously suck up and spew back out as gospel truth,

No! Of COURSE! How absolutely naive of me to suggest that the Gaza ceasefire that happened before he took office ONLY happened because he was "President-Elect" (as he asserted).

What a fucking WANKER!!

I see your now signing of with narcissist ,,your not really are you ?

No, mate, I'm not a full-blown narcissist & didn't sign-off as such. It was multiple indictments of my observations of Trump.

My personal observations of Trump come from decades of life-experience & direct contact with equally vile human beings, that I consider reasonably well-versed in identifying them & calling them out.

He is, without doubt, the worst because he has the position of POTUS, which he intends to exploit for his own advantage again.

Whilst I acknowledge some of what he is trying to achieve for the US (as I've said previously, I lean neither to the left, nor the right), it's his personality & self-proclaimed God-like status that abhors me.

The expletive-laden & emotive wash-up??

He's an incompetent CUNT that only cares about his own celebrity & not about the country & people he's supposed to be leading.

 

[Love to grow]

Cunt trump has hurt my hip pocket now things are personal Fkn stockmarkets you know with them tariffs he was bluffing about he weren’t bluffing now China Canada and Mexico putting tariffs back on him end result every cunt pays more for everything WTF?

I’d like to know if ol Trumpy and his mates sold out stocks before or bought in after be very interesting. Even Elon must be thinking wtf his cars just became more expensive to anyone who uses imported aluminium or steel gunna be hit hard all for what apparently it might save a few local manufacturers Fkn bullshit it will ahwell back to my smokin n chillin

Tick, tick, tick.....

Let's see how long it takes......

Propaganda and opinions are proof of nothing.case dismissed!

So....As long as the White House propaganda from the previous Trump administration aligns with your opinion, you'll swallow it, but otherwise, it's to be summarily dismissed???

Can anyone say "Double-Standards"???

Ran out of popcorn and find myself being drawn into this totally opinionated thread. Damn you Sun ra.
In today's read of more opinionated articles i see that Russia and China are trying to separate US forces and this could be why the USA is pulling out of Ukraine. Maybe, just maybe we're all being hoodwinked by a well financed propaganda machine that is feeding our simple and less than informed brains. Or Trump could just be a fuckwit. Or both.
Duck season, rabbit season. TOKE and chill until it's time to break out the arsenal.

Peaceful protesters will now be arrested
Verified message that Trump has actually posted on Truth Social.


No mention of his Jan 6 riots.
So, his sheep were encouraged to " march on the Capitol" but anyone that disagrees with him will be arrested.

Dictators hate free speech.
