I wonder if it will be fitted out with gaudy gold trimmings. Trump Mar a Basement

Trump has now turned his attention back to acquiring Canada, stating Canada’s vulnerability to adversaries. Perhaps Canada should tell him they want Alaska as a buffer for their northern flank security.

So far Trump has caused it's closest neighbour into China's arms, invaded another nation to steal its resources, now threatening the same against Greenland, alienated the rest of the world with is tariffs and bullying techniques, increased the risk of de-dollarisation, and now looks close to bringing about the collapse of NATO. The US has lived beyond its means only because the dollar was used by all to pay for world trade. Trump and Bessent risk losing that advantage. The threat of the largest holders of US debt selling it off is looming large.

I hope they catch the evil b*****d.

Are there any saltwater Catfish? Just asking out of curiosity. As Nurf said, maybe in the area between saltwater and fresh.

Winning the lottery is supposed to be special, when one considers the odds. But getting two, yes TWO Presidential pardons in five years? The gods must really be shining on you. Either that or you have a lot of money. In 2021 Adriana Camberos was freed from prison by Trump. She was then convicted of another crime along with her brother. This week, Trump pardoned the pair of them. If I was her, I would definitely buy a lottery ticket.

Trump being Trump now has Macron and the EU now considering activating their anti-coercion rules, which if indeed done will really hurt US companies. Also treated Canada so badly that Carney said when asked, “Canada’s water is for Canadians.” Way to go Donald.

They’re going to have to drill a long way down through the ice to hit rock to build a Trump Hotel in Greenland.. Maybe Trump wants all that ice to cool his data centres.

Perhaps they introduced a hub cap. 😄

The problem with this is any violence against the ICE thugs could enable Trump to enact the Insurrection Act, which is what he wants.

Oh no. Not another hub.

I prefer boxers for daily wear, but do wear briefs under Muay Thai shorts.

KhunPer. Do you have a link to where I can do the 90 day report online please?

AI will be the end of us, merely by the fact that it will enable us to design and build ever more powerful weapons of mass destruction that we can use on ourselves. That is without the often proposed idea that it will destroy us itself because it either sees us as a threat, or no longer has a need for us. Or perhaps just using it as a tool, always at our finger tips, where we never have to learn or remember anything, will just dumb us down. And now many other countries are building their own models, even if one failed, it is likely another would take over where it left off.

Does anyone know how early one can make a 90 report? Renewed my retirement extension today, but it seems they no longer reset the 90 Day Report at the same time, so I have to go back again to do it in four weeks. The thing is, I will be away on holiday when it is due, so I would like to go get it done early if possible. TIA.

Exactly what I was thinking. Either take precautions, or better still don't do it.

i keep seeing mention that Trump is losing his marbles due to one neurological disorder or another. The latest Frontal temporal Lobe something or other. He certainly does seem very forgetful, with a tendency to blurt out things that seem inappropriate at times. He even seemed to forget offering Americans $2000 in one interview. If true, I imagine that sooner or later, he will either give an order, or make a statement so outlandish that he will be removed from office. More and more Republicans seem to be turning against him. Not only in fear of losing their seats, but because of what he is doing to the US. I was also wondering. What happens if Maduro gets found not guilty?

As the world de-dollarises, Trump better start stocking up on Danish Kroner if he wants to buy Greenland.

Another bright spark. 😀 But seriously, it just sounds like an unfortunate accident, but he was extremely lucky.

Maybe all the construction workers have left South Texas to go build Trump's ballroom. 😀

Most invasions by the US, they have had allies. No longer, it seems. Now with the talk of taking Greenland, they are upsetting all those allies, including their largest trade partner (European Union), which has the second largest currency after the dollar.. All because Trump wants its resources, which even if he could get those rare earths, he couldn't process them. China processes nearly all of these, and building out his own refineries would take ten to fifteen years.

Yes. I got a 12 month statement and bank letter from K-bank earlier this week. Not sure if this is a new thing or not, but the lady at immigration told me, “Next time, you need to sign everything with blue pen. Not black.” I have been doing everything in black for years. Never a problem until now. Another customer was told the same thing..

Went to renew my extension this morning. Be aware that there seems to be a new version of Form STM.2. Even though I only went and collected all the forms, (the TM.7 and all the others were stapled together) in December, the lady downstairs with the short hair ripped my one out, gave me a new one, and told me to fill that one in.

Maybe Bang has been doing a double bang bang with the two ladies..

KhunPer. That is what she told me, and she drew a line through them on my list. But I am going tomorrow (Friday) to renew my retirement extension so will see what happens and report back.
