    This Five  (there can be no other)....??   NB: and..... (BE reminded trees are wood, are you drunk or high?)

    What on earth are you talking about?

    To recap:

    My post consisted of 6 sentences. The first suggested that if there was " dirt" on Trump, then Musk would be aware of it. The next five sentences discussed the possible role played by  money in the Trump/Musk relationship, particularly in view of the money Trump owes.

     

    Both your initial and this your latest response bear no relationship to that, but go off on utterly irrelevant tangents. That is why I suggested that you were "frothy mouthed"!

    If there was, why hasn't it been splashed all over the internet BEFORE Trump won the election. You ever think of that? The deep threw everything at Trump in all out DESPERATION and failed miserably HELPING him to get reelected, if they had anything, ie Epstein files, list etc they would have leaked it over and over! They shot their wad, they GOT NOTHING left. The liberals failed, they lost, it's over for them.

    Umh, that wasn't really the point of my post was it, my frothy mouthed friend!

     

    Talk about not being able to see the wood for the trees! It was the opening sentence of a post, why not look further and read the following 5 or so - you might just realise what I was saying!

    Here's where you're wrong. 

    Musk has dirt on Trump. Like Epstein stuff.

    Musk is the richest person in the world. 

    Trump doesn't have the power to rein in Musk. 

    I am sure that if there is any dirt on Trump (and who can doubt that there is) Musk will have it. However it is even simpler, money. Musk funded Trump's campaign to get him elected. This is reinforced by the money Trump owes through court judgements - $580 million or so. Now maybe that amount will be reduced on appeal, but that is far from certain. Sooner or later the courts will come to collect. There is only one place or person that can produce the money - Musk.

    I was approached a couple of days ago by an estate agent in Hua Hin. She has a friend that agreed to purchase a new house in a gated estate, the deposit was 1.5m, house price 6m, discounted from 6.9m, then 60 monthly payments of 93,000 (75K in principle & 18,000 in interest), She signed a contract with the developer but could only come up with 1.2m for the deposit and ran out of money. The offer to me is to take over her contract, pay the remaining 300,000 for the deposit, give her back 800,000 of the 1.2m she has put in and pay the agent a commission fee. Then the agent will sell the house for 6.9m, leaving a decent profit. Interested in anyone's thoughts 

    I believe Lazada may sell barge poles!

    I just wonder whether the Elon has thought of the USAID freeze will impact American farmers and could cost thousands of American jobs. US food purchases for foreign aid like wheat and soy purchases were halted and leaves farmers especially in Texas in deep disarray. The waiver was confusing with no clear cut regulations to untie the confusion. US farmers already facing low commodity prices and uncertainty from on and off tariffs now had an added pain. 

    I heard a figure of 52000 jobs gone this week.

    How silly of me. Of course. You're obviously correct. It must be a conspiracy theory that history existed before 1913.

     

    The most prosperous time in America occurred when we didn't have an income tax. And it will again.

     

    But you go right on believing the WEF/globalist nonsense that modern monetary theory is required or humanity is doomed.

    Getting rid of the IRS in its entirely in favor of tariffs is everything we voted for.

    Hmm, so all government spending funded by tariffs?

     

    Countries will eventually find other trading partners unencumbered by tariffs, so the money will dry up.

     

    I'm not sure whether the USA can actually supply anything that is absolutely not available elsewhere in the world, so your exports would be more vulnerable to retaliatory tariffs. Oh dear, more sources of money will dry up.

     

    The US dollar is the world's majority currency, because much trade involves the US, and is conducted in dollars. If that trade diminishes (as it will with tariffs) then the relevance of the dollar as a global currency will reduce.

     

    Now you may claim that you can fund all your needs education, healthcare, retirement provision, housing etcetera from your own income. But if trade dries up and jobs disappear, and incomes go, what then?

     

    North Korea imports little and exports even less. Poor people starve. What a powerhouse that is. I'm not suggesting that the USA will immediately turn into North Korea, but...

    I would say 3rd worldish places like Cambodia and my opinion Phillipines are the end of the line.  People who retire there wish they could live in Thailand.  Mostly, can't afford it or do not qualify for the Visas or, have some obsession of living in the cheapest place possible and bragging about it.

    In Bob/Colin/BarBoy and goodness knows how many other aliases' case, Weymouth is the end of the line!

     

    You can't get much more "3rd worldish" than Portland on a Saturday night!

    To all the Trump haters .... don't tell me you think this is a bad decision? 

     

    Oh, I think it is a good idea - I fail to see why it needs the full weight and ceremony of a formal signing of an "Executive order".

     

    It is mesmerising to watch Trump leaping like a geriatric obese gazelle from passing bandwagon to passing bandwagon; doesn't change my view of him or the government he is (supposedly) in charge of one bit!

    Stoyan Stoyanov, 28, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2024 for his involvement in a staggering £50 million Universal Credit scam, which saw a Bulgarian gang exploit the UK welfare system using fake documents and stolen identities. Despite completing his sentence,

    Sentenced to 4 years in 2024. Completed his sentence.

     

    How the hell? The very most he could have served was 25%!
