Trump pre-emptively blames Biden for next quarter's financial numbers 'Trump pre-emptively suggests Biden may be to blame for next quarter's financial numbers'. And if the numbers look good? He’ll credit his Liberation Day tariffs. Just like in the 2020 and 2024 elections—rigged, unless he won. nbcnews.com/now/video/trump-pre-emptively-suggests-biden-may-be-to-blame-for-next-quarter-s-financial-numbers-238638661511

Donald Trump’s declaration, “I run the country and the world,” along with his earlier flirtation with acquiring Greenland and Canada, recalls a mindset not unlike fellow criminal felon and malignant narcissistic authoritarian Hitler. After securing control of Germany, Hitler outlined his belief in his Lebensraum (living space) destiny in the 1937 Hossbach Memorandum speech. Just as he moved from bold words to annexing Austria, the Sudetenland, and beyond under the guise of “Make Germany Great Again,” Trump’s rhetoric raises alarms. History reminds us: borders are redrawn first in speeches, then on maps. And it raises more questions than answers about the copy of My New Order — Hitler's speeches — under his pillow. So why so much smoke — and why so many dots?

I’ve watched the first two episodes, and they seem to align with my general understanding of Hitler’s rise to power — though I’m no expert. From what I can tell, it doesn’t appear politically biased, just historically grounded. I particularly enjoyed the mix of original color and black-and-white footage. Definitely worth watching and deciding for yourself.

Just started watching Hitler's Power (TV Series 2023– ) - IMDb 7.3/10. This historical series explores Hitler’s rise to power, including his early life, political tactics, and the machinery of control he built in Nazi Germany. With so much conversation around Hitler resurfacing online, it’s a timely and thought-provoking watch for anyone interested in history, psychology, or political power.

Yes, all those sheeple. Baaa-rilliant.

You totally forgot that the war started when Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 while Biden was... the Vice President. And Trump had four whole years to end the conflict — but hey, let’s pretend he just "forgot" too! 😂

How does that translate exactly? The phrase "ออกไปเที่ยวกลางคืนที่ยิ่งใหญ่" (àwk bpai thîeow klang kün thîi yîng yài) translates exactly to: ออกไป (àwk bpai) – "Go out" เที่ยว (thîeow) – "Travel" or "go out" (used in the context of socializing or going out for fun) กลางคืน (klang kün) – "Night" ที่ (thîi) – "That" or "which" ยิ่งใหญ่ (yîng yài) – "Grand" or "magnificent" So, the phrase "ออกไปเที่ยวกลางคืนที่ยิ่งใหญ่" literally translates to "Go out travel night that grand", which in context means "Go for a grand night out" or "Go out for a magnificent night." On the other hand, "เที่ยวให้สุดเหวี่ยง" (thîeow hâi sùt wìang) more closely translates to "party to the fullest" or "go wild," with the breakdown being: เที่ยว (thîeow) – "Go out" ให้ (hâi) – "Give" or "to" (used here in the sense of "to make happen") สุดเหวี่ยง (sùt wìang) – "To the extreme" or "wild" (literally "end swing," implying going to the fullest or without restraint) This phrase conveys the idea of partying with a lot of freedom, having a carefree, fun time—similar to the English idiom "paint the town red."

Obviously, you haven't tried phoning them!

The psychological factors you ask? Guilt — and the weight of silence. As Edmund Burke once said: 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'

The chevrons point toward the median to warn of danger, not to guide the road’s direction.

So you're contradicting your leader now? He blamed Zelensky — not the Neocons. That's blasphemy. Your penance: 100 Hail Marys Hitlers.

PICTURE THIS: Someone wants your vacation home. They're bigger. They're stronger. They beat you up. They throw you out. You call the cops. Policeman Trump shows up. He shrugs, and says: 'Be reasonable. You started this. In the final analysis of how the world came to be — justice doesn’t win; power does. I hold all the cards. — And you need to thank me.'

Maybe these countries might interest you. Portugal offers the D7 visa — proof of pension income, health insurance, and a rental contract are required. No large investment needed. Cost of living is moderate; outside Lisbon and Porto, many towns are affordable for a UK pension. Spain offers the Non-Lucrative Visa — proof of around €2,400/month income or sufficient savings is needed. Cost of living is moderate; southern coastal areas and inland towns can be relatively cheap compared to the UK. Malta offers the Malta Retirement Programme — requires pension income, health insurance, and minimum annual rent (€9,600/year). Cost of living is higher than Portugal or Spain but manageable with careful budgeting, especially outside main tourist zones. Colombia offers a Pensionado visa — proof of around $750/month pension income is required. Cost of living is low, with affordable rents, food, and services in many areas, but healthcare is private and good private insurance is important. NB: UK citizens have a special relationship with Malta historically. English is an official language and daily life feels very UK-friendly (football, pubs, English media, shops). If you get a UK State Pension, you can access Malta’s public healthcare with an S1 form.

China Tests New Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb China has tested a powerful new explosive that creates a white-hot fireball lasting over two seconds — about 15 times longer than a TNT blast. The 2-kg device uses magnesium hydride to release hydrogen gas, producing intense heat above 1,000°C. While it generates less blast pressure than traditional bombs, its sustained thermal effect can melt metal and devastate equipment and infrastructure. Compact, precise, and non-nuclear, this weapon fits modern warfare strategies with reduced collateral damage. China’s new production methods also make large-scale manufacturing possible, hinting at major military and civilian impacts. https://archive.md/QFkCq

I was warned about Luang Prabang being eventually spoiled over 20 years ago, so I decided to visit for a week in 2005. I can still remember flying over the cloudy Mekong River and seeing a sleepy little village below. What a delight it was, along with the locals—really a window back into Thailand half a century ago. I now live equidistant between Ranong and Chumphon, and these areas are almost smoke-free most of the year, likely due to being the wettest provinces in Thailand. You might know Ranong well from working nearby at Kawthaung in Myanmar. Chumphon is a real gem, with a great expat area at Tung Wua Lien. Paddy Doyle even used to teach there. Both Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat, nearby, also have mainly little smoke and beautiful beaches. All of these locations are very liveable and well-connected with airport access to Bangkok. I’ve been to the Philippines a few times, but it doesn’t have the infrastructure or food that Thailand does, and it’s usually not as smoky—unless you’re near a volcano. The country is also prone to cyclones and earthquakes --but you'll never never know unless you go.

Let's put things into perspective! You’re comparing a few hundred U.S. cases with two tragic deaths to 127,000+ cases in Europe and treating the difference in fatality rate as proof of some agenda. When your sample size is tiny, every data point moves the average dramatically. You're not exposing a cover-up — you're exposing your misunderstanding of Statistics 101, along with your lack of logic and reasoning. Imagine thinking two dead kids is an acceptable trade-off just to oppose a vaccine that doesn’t cause autism and rarely causes any serious side effects Downplaying real harm and inflating invented risks isn’t skepticism — it’s misinformation dressed up as critical thinking.

Not quite — this isn’t China “capitulating” to Trump. If anything, Trump capitulated first. He talked tough on tariffs — phones, TVs, semiconductors — then walked them back when they hit U.S. consumers and businesses. China’s response is a measured tit-for-tat, not surrender. Xi is easing tariffs to protect key sectors, not backing down — it’s tactical, not submissive. Xi already played his ace with the rare earth export ban. The U.S. relies on rare earths for smartphones, EVs, F-35s, missiles — critical tech and defense gear. Replacing China’s supply dominance could take 5–10 years, even with heavy investment. Until then, China holds the cards. When you poke the bear… don’t be surprised if he doesn’t want to be your friend. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/china-dominates-rare-earths-leaving-trump-with-dud-hand/105213972

Vance’s reference to China’s workers as “peasants” has transcended any PLA rhetoric. Whatever divisions existed are gone—now the population is united against Trump. Just like the 51st State, Canada, and most of the world, they’ve all had enough of the 'buffoon'.

Trump is not Hitler — but the echoes are impossible to ignore. Both were shaped by domineering fathers who imposed strict expectations, discouraged their early ambitions, and emphasized control, toughness, and external success over emotional development. These dynamics arguably fueled a deep desire for domination and personal supremacy — a mindset in which winning means others must lose, with no room for compromise or shared success. Such traits are consistent with narcissistic personality disorder, marked by their grandiosity, lack of empathy, and constant need for admiration. Each incited failed coups, became convicted criminals, and built loyal followings through propaganda, slogans, and mass rallies. They framed the media as enemies, thrived on personal loyalty, and rejected democratic limits. Both promoted a vision of national supremacy, celebrated authoritarian strength, and admired strongmen. Trump repeatedly expressed praise for dictators — including Putin, Kim Jong-un, and even, according to reports, once remarked “Hitler did some good things.” His ex-wife claimed he kept a book of Hitler’s speeches, My New Order, near his bed. History doesn’t repeat — but it rhymes loudly.

How else would you pay for your bedsitter in Redfern?

I agree — and in the West, you can usually discuss it with your healthcare provider, and based on their assessment, they would likely approve it if appropriate.
