Well, if Trump said it, then it must be true. Australians have an expression for it, that's coming the raw prawn.

The blowback is coming from Republican voters.

I have laid out the facts. If you want to be in denial of them, it's no skin off my nose. Bye now.

Part of that clown world is the proposition you can supply your own oil needs. Shale oil is a Red Queen's race, that's why the expression drill baby drill came into being. Production can decline by 70% in the first year. Check out the level of debt most shale oil companies have. Unlike conventional oil wells, that can produce for 30-50 years, most shale oil wells are no longer economic after 5 years.

With a resting pulse rate of 53 bpm, and BP 112/55? I don't think so.

With its own language and alphabet.

I suppose Fox News informs your views. You know, the media outlet which shelled out $767 million to Dominion just to avoid being dragged into court. Who are these Elites you are chuntering about?

Russia wants peace contingent on keeping all the territorial assets it has stolen. Zelensky wants peace when Russia gets out of the Ukrainian land it illegally invaded. The "deal" is between a quisling Trump and Putin. No mention of Russia withdrawing, just Trump trying to hijack Ukraine's strategic minerals. If a burglar squatted in your house, would you let them stay?

Please do. We are tired of making ourselves a nuclear target for you. We provide about one-third to one half of your global surveillance system, I guess you won't miss it if you have withdrawn into Fortress Amerika. We certainly don't need a cockeyed deal to buy 6-8 of your obsolete nuclear submarines for $360 billion, when we could have 24 conventional brand new ones. I think you can live with inefficiently smelting raw steel from taconite with 30% Fe content, while other nations make it with 60% Fe ore. You can also live with driving front-end ploughing rust buckets as well. I am not so sure you can do without the 50% of oil Canada supplies you, and you are nowhere near mining any of the rare earths you need for your home-grown smartphones and TV's. Going back to B&W is an option. You certainly have the ability to feed yourselves, going by the 70% of Americans that are either overweight or obese. Perhaps your rose-tinted glasses obscure the fact the USA has its own clown world.

Not according to Stormy Daniels.

Sorry, I don't see how your first statements are connected to the last. As governments print more money to cover debt, the price of gold goes up. People and central banks buy gold to protect themselves from a currency decline in purchasing power. Currently, the biggest gold buyers are China and India. Poland has become a big purchaser in 2024. I have never met a Pole, but the Chinese and Indians I have worked with were all pretty smart people.

Neither. If I am not golfing or swimming in the morning, I spend 10 minutes checking how much my investments made while I was sleeping, over a breakfast coffee. Starbucks? That's for poseurs who go there to be seen, and their coffee is dishwater. Bars? Haven't been in one for about ten years. Certainly not at 9 am.

By increasing their cost of living with tariffs? Any discussion with you is a waste of my time.

Gold is in just about every smartphone and computer ever made. Excellent corrosion resistance, highly conductive. It's also the best hedge against governments that print money to finance increasing debt. I suppose it is too late to delete your post as breathtakingly ignorant.

In secondary college, it was a bicycle round trip of 10 km, rain, hail or shine. Doing my degree, an hour each way by train. I guess the only thing you have to be proud of is your nasty nature.

I don't pretend to know everything, that's just a put-down of yours. I'm afraid I am unable to grasp the position of people who ignore facts and logic. You're wasting my time, bye bye.

Yes they do. As far as they are concerned, the enemy is within.

There's an over-abundance of people outside as well. It's what you get when you give tax cuts to billionaires.

Surprises me as well.

If you think Trump's tariffs are going to help ordinary people with their cost of living, you are delusional. Economics 101. If you think tax cuts for billionaires are going to help the average person, you are most definitely full of it. Trickle down economics is a thin disguise for wealth inequity. Sure, life is good for me. I have empathy. Look it up.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I don't hate Trump. I despise him for what he is doing to ordinary people, giving them false hope. That's quite apart from his total lack of decency and integrity.

Parkinson's LAW, not Parkinson's syndrome. OTOH, dementia tests might be warranted.

Trust fund kid? I paid for my first bicycle, set of golf clubs and car by a combination of caddying, and scavenging scrap metal from the local garbage tip. Copper, brass, aluminium and lead. Workplace regulations would make that impossible nowadays. Caddying as kids died out about 40 years ago in Australia. Yes, I am proud of what I have achieved with hard work. What do you have to be proud of?

IMO your posts are more like Parkinson's Law at work, than the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Putin has changed Russian law to enable first strike capability. Formerly it was only in response to attack by nukes. Please keep up.
