Of course the clown would say that, but eyewitnesses don't lie.

Watch his video with Bryson. He swings like a maniac, but it somehow works. He’s very good at golf, despite his swing.

The cheating stuff is as fake as some of the other clearly false allegations made against him. Easy to spread, though.

I would say that most of the detrimental stuff said about him has some truth to back it up. Racist, sexist and bigoted are just three for this convicted felon.

Depends on;

• Did Melania look in my direction today.
• Did I remember to bronze my face this morning.
• Since I won at golf, did I tell everyone about it?

As to if he bothers to even read what he is singing instead of just stream of consciousness about someone in our direction as he has bigger fish to fry; such as making everyone believe a gulf is American and not Mexican.

So, he's winning at gulf as well as golf then?

I'm also noting symptoms of TDS arising within the forum......

I'm poking fun largely, I mean since when has he ever said he screwed anything of note? The blokes been bankrupted what 7 times, he ran a casino out of money FFS and yet he's still the most brilliantest orange muppet to ever spawn amoebas with a Slovak to ever exist in America.

NGL, it's amazing how many people have pointed out that part and not the Melania bit to completely miss that it was from his perspective. You know, cause he's the one that married her?

Must be the lesbians.

I can talk about gut health and Metamucil if you’d prefer.

On a completely different issue, would the mods be interested in promoting a remedial emoji class for Boomers, and smartarses? Neither being exclusively separate.

Seems some posters don’t understand emojis.

Here’s an example: plus opposite view = scorn.

Not humour.

Not completely pigeonholing our entire economy would’ve been a start.

Preaching to the converted mate. Resources and ag are an ok starting point for an economy if you then use them to springboard to something more valuable. Property and banking are not something more valuable.

Haha we have zero leverage with the US and everyone knows it. All they need from us is a bit of land for military bases - unless we plan on kicking them out and cosying up with China then there's literally no strength we can credibly show.

We are in a constant trade deficit and handing them 216 x $800 million payments for submarines that we will never receive. We buy all their outdated military crap, we gave them Perth as a nuclear sub base, we let them use Pine Gap and their parasitic corporate model has taken control of most of our public assets that they don't pay royalties or tax for.

We would be way better jumping off and joining BRICS. The US alliance is like being married to an abusive junky.

 

[gringo2011]

Not sure, realistically our population was never going to get big enough fast enough to be of true global significance. Very hard to grow a country fast without destroying the culture.

A future fund from proper royalties and taxes would have been an idea.

We didn't "give" them Perth......stop making ridiculous claims. They are basing subs out of Stirling (as will the UK) on a rotational basis until we have our own V-class under our own flags, as a stop gap. We are in a position of our own creation because for years, governments of both flavours have kicked the can down the road on defence and relied on having a "big brother" ally" to save our bacon if the shit hits the fan!
The first Collins sub was due to be decommissioned NEXT YEAR, an instead we are having to do major upgrades and squeeze another 10 years out of them while we make arrangements for replacements that should have been starting to roll out of production NEXT YEAR!
And yes, we need subs - we are an island nation that relies almost exclusively on the maritime domain for all of our trade and prosperity, and cutting off shipping at just 4 choke points in the international shipping lanes would see us on our knees and out of every critical supply in just 4 weeks!

Well look at the Chinese, its the "South China Sea" so they claim ownership.
Who knows what the mexicans will do if its not made clear.

Meanwhile i think the old Collins are well regarded nowdays.

Perhaps, however if we were required to take on China’s state of the art nuclear fleet with the old Phils, we’d surely be hoping for a victory against all odds.

The TDS thing is like the left's use of racism as a catch all for any criticism. Just because you like the guy doesn't necessarily mean everything he does is right.

We threw away the French deal and paid out billions and now are paying for something that we'll never get. The contracting says straight out that we only get them if they have too many and they aren't building enough to satisfy themselves. It's protection racket money. The bases are for the US not us. We'll never see the subs but we'll have to dispose of their waste and pay for them to have a base here.

The old Collins class will still be chugging along in 20 years time because we won't be getting anything else now.

The media killed old Beasley's career bagging them out. Now the campaigners are nostalgic about them. They are like old Toyota Corollas, nothing exciting but they keep doing what they do reliably.

Interestingly Google Earth has already amended the gulf to appear as Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).

And I think reports are if you live in the states it will show as Gulf of America.

Trump delusion syndrome is also the supporters of him that think he has some kid of messianic quality. He's an destabilising force inside and outside the US. He's doing a few good things and shaking things up but he's doing a lot of damage through misrepresenting situations and actively breaking systems.

He's eroding a lot of safety nets designed to protect democracy and consumers. He's also working with big tech to bring in an age of surveillance and AI authoritarianism. That's fine if the US want that but he's saying he's libertarian when convenient.

Trump is the front man for a whole lot of people that finance him. He's not really that interesting in himself other than being a conduit for extreme political change in the US and rest of the world.

His group are either going to blow up the world up or become a brutalising pirate nation without the facade of being the world sheriff and save the US from being a falling empire. None of it is good for us here.
