Trump won. Permit me to doubt the people did. If you don't understand tax cuts and tariff wars are inflationary, hurting the average American, you were asleep in economics class. I am assuming you got that far.

mdr224 did not recognize satire. You too?

Well, there's always the chance he will head off in a different direction. Tangents are his specialty. After all, he did break 53% of the promises he made in his first term.

Arthritis is inflammation. Sugar is inflammatory. There are several ways in which sugar provokes inflammation. My diet is as much protein as I want, plenty of cheese ( 40% fat ) and a small amount of butter. Unsweetened yoghurt. My carbohydrate intake is limited to low carb vegetables - broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, green beans, cauliflower and bamboo. On that diet, my weight went from 93 kg to 78 kg. I have since backslid to 81 kg, as I allow myself half a small bar of chocolate a day. I don't drink alcohol. If the body is deprived of sugar, it has to start burning fat instead, for energy. IMO it's that simple.

I see it as a distinct possibility if the Republicans control both the House and Senate. Every non-MAGA Republican is now terrified of Trump, he has the power of political life or death over them. The Republican party is no longer in Trump's pocket. It is welded to him.

IIRC the Dems were trying to do away with hate speech. Plenty of that in America, and guess who led the charge? As for the infantile obsession with guns, I don't know of any other nation that has to provide training for its children in how to avoid getting shot when attending school.

I don't know whether Trump will be a dictator or not. He feeds off the energy of political rallies. On his past record, he will be playing golf, and refusing to read a briefing of more than one page. Advisers will be a revolving door. His pattern is lauding his appointments, then describing them as idiots after he fires them. Your post is deflection. I'll ask the question again: What makes you think the Constitution can't be amended again to allow more terms?

The Constitution was amended after FDR to allow only 2 terms, after he died in office in his forth term as President. What makes you think it can't be amended again to allow more terms?

If I did, I got well paid for it.

So? Only Americans can have opinions?

"The less it corresponded to reality, the better." Electric boats, sharks and pet-eating Haitians ring any bells?

True. She showed loyalty to Biden, even though it cost her. No doubt Rudy Giuliani, Michael Cohen and Melania can tell you all about Trump's loyalty.

Diversion from my former comment. The Eastern part of Ukraine is its most valuable asset in terms of agriculture. It has one quarter of the world's chernozem, rich black soil which will grow anything. I seriously doubt Putin will stop there, however. He wants the Russian Federation back at the Fulda Gap.

The population of Australia is 27 million people. In the USA, it is 330 million. Normally distributed data is just that. With the sample sizes cited, any statistician would accept the difference is statistically significant. I've been a consultant on TQC to a couple of US companies, what about you?

Trump succeeded in saddling Harris with Biden's baggage. FYI, the average Australian IQ is 100. The average US IQ is 98. We have a head start on you.

When are you going to learn begging the question is no answer?

You started the insults, now you are complaining about return fire. Toughen up. princess.

Humped many couches lately?

Yes I have, and I am not posting it, nosey parker. I can say it is significantly above the Australian mean.

I'd be impressed if you could compose that rant by yourself. Sadly, it just confirms your lack of creativity and originality.

Straight hetero, I don't even do anal. What about you? Would you like to sniff Trump's diapers?

There is always going to be someone smarter than me. Unfortunately, ASEAN is a poor fishing spot.

Calling my posts trolling is classic dishonesty. Attack the person, not the facts. I have a good life. I am physically and mentally active. I think of myself as a cat, scratching a leg of furniture to sharpen my claws. Although it's not a furniture leg, rather the wooden heads of posters like you.

I don't think you realize what you have just posted.

As far as bores go, yours goes all the way to Russia. Obviously, you have forgotten or conveniently ignore the fact the combined military and civilian death toll of Communist Russia during WW2 was 27 million, vs 9 million for Nazi Germany. Plus 6 million Jews, of course.
