Gentlemen. I've been quiet. Let me point out a couple of things here. First, I was assured by certain people on this forum that Joe would never pardon Hunter. As usual, I was correct. Now let me expand. What you are about to read is mind blowing. 1. Hunter Biden has now lost his 5th Amenment right to silence.The implications to the Biden family are severe. 2. The 11 year blanket pardon includes the period where credible claims of "10% for the big guy" corruption were made. In effect, Joe Biden has interfered with any future criminal investigation, effectively pardoning himself. 3. That is an impeachment offense. Do not be shocked if the House moves to impeach Joe next month. 4. There is an electoral reason why. I see many Democrats enraged by this pardon. It has completely undermined their "convicted felon" attack line against Trump. Joe has destroyed Democrat justice credibility. Do not be shocked if certain enemies from the Democrat side of the House join in a bipartisan impeachment. The rage is off the scale. And the Biden family is now finished as an electoral force. They are disposable. 5. The Democrats are now also enraged that Biden has opened the door for J6 pardons. He has cut them off below the knee with one of the few decent attack lines next year. A staggering act of political sabotage by the Lying King. 6. There is nothing to prevent a Special Counsel to be appointed to investigate Hunter - and he has lost the 5th Amendment. While convictions are effectively off the table, a SC can torture the Democrats with corruption revelations all the way through the next four years - horrendous prospect for the Dems who run on justice and "threat to Democracy" issues. 7. All Kash Patel etc have to do is produce one smoking gun of interference from the FBI or DOJ and the Dems will be in serious trouble. And do not forget - The Durham investigation is still on file. People don't realize how poisonous this pardon will be to the Dems for years to come. I was once accused here of knowing nothing about US politics. I know this - this pardon is going down into the same pantheon of political filth as "I never had sexual relations with that woman." Horrendous.

I've often thought of writing a book about Thailand. I wonder how you would go about it.

The answers are - he doesn't need to complete everything in 18 months. He just needs to set up a system where: All programs with lapsed authorisations are immediately cancelled. All government spending is open-sourced. No one can argue with the first. Congress must do its job. The second is a certainty. There are plenty of people out there who would love nothing better than to crawl over government spending to point out waste. Open source ( sunlighting ) will save US taxpayers a fortune.

Oh, and Russian cats on a treadmill - Musk is after them too.

US tax payers will be disappointed to hear that transmonkeyphobia has crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the shape of African-American, Elon Musk, who will run a campaign to end funding for this vital research. Some people consider that to be bananas. Others are going apesh*t because transmonkeys are monkeys too. And, yes - this is a real thing.

Answer the question. Did either suggest that killing Trump was the answer? And beclowning suits you, sir. Act like a clown, be treated as such.

Triple NI whammy. Work it out for yourself. Are you seriously suggesting that this mandatory tax increase in the cost of employment is fine because it's tax deductible against profits? No one is this stupid. Genuinely, no one. So I'm looking forward to you educating me in this matter. And no one in their right mind believes 40% of your pension pot being taxed aftera lifetime of saving is a good deal. You truly are a financial illiterate. Stunningly stupid.

I've ran a business in the UK for 30 years, I know what I'm talking about. What happens to company profits when costs increase? ................................. Setting aside talking to this arrogant wee man, on the ground in the UK many people I know are closing up, selling or retiring. They've had enough. My business partner had to talk me out of retiring last night. You see, the one thing businessmen love is having their payroll costs increased by a triple whammy and then told their pensions are now liable for 40% tax. Its truly wonderful stuff. Then we turn to the idiot and see gibbering idiots writing off £140 million payroll cost increase as minor and irrelevant. Just moronic talk.

The personal attack is deserved as you are spouting drivel. Do you realise that the NI cost increase to Sainsburys is equivalent to their Corporation tax on profits paid last year? Do you understand the implications pf that?

When was the last time a thief broke into a house and paid all the bills? You're that stupid you calculated the £140 mil increase against gross turnover ( financial illiterate territory ). Did you not know that 98% of that turnover is cost?

No, the accurate description. Sainsburys profit is equivalent to a whopping 2% of sales. Oh, and they pay tax on that 2%. You are clearly a financial illiterate.

I was wondering if you were an idiot based upon your previous posts but now I've decided.

And here's the new problem for Pelosi - the Californian cash cow is going to be under sustained attack over the next four years. I predict, and I'm not joking, that to be associated with the Democrat machine will be toxic by the mid terms. The Blue Dog and Dirt Road Democrats need to get rid of the Marxist cancer or they will lose time and time again.

I think the most moronic defence of Kamala's performance is "she only had three months to introduce herself to the American public." She was VP for three and a half years, add six months for VP nominee and elect. If you can't "introduce" yourself over the course of those four years there's something badly wrong. In this case, the "badly wrong" was her personality. She was universally disliked with terrible approval ratings. Biden saw Pelosi coming a mile off and threw her, along with Obama et al under the bus. And if you ever want proof of how much Pelosi disliked her - they are both products of the Democrat California powerhouse. No senior politician knows Kamala better than Pelosi. The admission that a primary was anticipated is a direct attack on Harris. There is no way that Pelosi would have prevented the election of a Californian Democrat to the White House. She wanted the primary because she knew that Harris was unelectable.

Just wait till all the convictions are overturned on appeal. 🤣

So if you woke up one morning in Thailand and saw that Federal taxes had been abolished, how would that affect you?

These threads are being overrun by low IQ, hysterical idiots. They were so sure that Trump was going to be beaten they crowed for weeks before the election. Now they are melting down and repeating appalling conspiracy theories. They all have one unifying and exceptional talent, they are outstanding at being wrong. The ignore button is essential here.

Did either Mattis or Kelly call for Trump's death? No, they didn't. So engage your brain before beclowning yourself on this forum.

My life in the UK is excellent. Yes, the high street is nothing like it once was but that's a result of online shopping. Street crime appears to be an issue in London, and some other areas down south. If anything, my town is nowhere near as violent, nowhere near, as it was when I was growing up. My local bar, a pint of bitter is £1.80. In Wetherspoons up the road, their in-house drinks are £2.10 a pint. Supermarkets are cheap to moderate. Social housing, a nice two bedroom modern flat costs £350 a month. A brand new high spec flat is £500. It doesn't matter to many as the number of houses bought cash these days is around 50%. Mortgage free living is common. Downsides - the pubs are dying as their regular clientele are dying. The youth stay home playing video games and smoke waccy baccy. The NHS is patchy, staffing is a nightmare. There's a simple reason for that - there's way too many baby boomers and not enough youngsters to staff the NHS. My experience is excellent, but its becoming more common for people to go private as waiting lists are too long. Strange thing: The amount of money going about is unbelievable. if you are a tradesman that earns less than £1000 a week, you're avoiding work. I have floor fitters earning £600 a day, £350 ON A BAD DAY!! Be a SNOWBIRD - and get the best of both worlds.

I'm a genius!! I knew something was afoot re free speech, here is is.

Talking about Thomas, he's unlikely to retire. He's going to be the longest serving SCOTUS justice in history by around 2028/29. He said he fancied being on the court for 43 years ( his age when elevated ) just to annoy Biden.

The problem with the Sullivan case is that it set the bar for defamation too high and worse, too broad. Gorsuch and Thomas are gunning for it. I think Kavanaugh would join too after his experience in the confirmation hearing. .

And I'll tell you why. And I am 100% correct. He told Joe Rogan he didn't have the support network he required when he entered the White House last time. So he's doing two things right now. 1. He is establishing his cabinet. 2. He is preparing dozens of executive orders, including executive orders that he knows will be challenged in the courts. He's issuing these on day one as he wants these issues decided by the Supreme Court within two years. An example - one I think will fail. He will challenge birthright citizenship. I cannot see how there is space within the Constitution for that to be overturned. So it will fail at the Supreme Court. Unless!! And this is me speculating, the Supreme Court finds that illegal immigration = criminal activity = birthright denied due to deliberate and fraudulent "enrichment." That's the only way I can see Trump winning that case and I predict, next to no chance. So why do it? Trump is looking for a new Roe v Wade legal victory. NYT V Sullivan is on the cards, and maybe Citizens United. The Sullivan case is far reaching and I think he would win that one. Trump is preparing dozens of day one executive orders. He's going to come flying out of the traps. And that's why he is quiet.

If you are on X, follow this guy - excellent and you get a chance, scroll his feed as he has many outstanding threads

And let me tell you something. The utter arrogance of suggesting that Republicans couldn't possibly know the motivations of Democrat voters is a primary reason why Democrats lost. Consider - Republicans aren't the dumb ones here. The people that allowed 14 year olds to be sterilised and thought your average American would be okay with that are truly dumb and evil. You want to talk GODWINS LAW? I consider the EXPERIMENTAL SEXUAL MUTILATION OF CHILDREN to be on a par with MENGELE. Within this decade it will be recognised as the worst medical malpractice against children since THALIDOMIDE. The difference being that THALIDOMIDE WAS ACCIDENTAL. There is NOTHING ACCIDENTAL about the sexual mutilation and sterilisation of children promoted by the Democrats. The truth is the Democrats didn't lose by enough but don't worry. I estimate that with a single year to be associated with the Democrats will be the equivalent of social leprosy. What's coming down the line - already in motion and set in motion by a Democrat DOJ - is horrendous, truly horrendous. Pandora's Box is opening and the contents will repel every single member of this forum.
