More western organisations are coming out against israel in Gaza. Amnesty not long ago. I expect the trickle to become a flood, as what is happening gets too obvious to ignore. Hopefully it results in similar to the world wide movement that swept away apartheid in Sth Africa.

Cameron! Thou jest assuredly. While not confined to the UK, I can't remember the last decent PM/ president of a western country, though JFK came close.

It's amazing that he manged to fool so many for so long. Diabolical little man. Gordon wasn't much better.

You can't equate the first time to now. He hasn't got Sessions stabbing him in the back, he won't have losers like Kelly or Bolton sabotaging him. He's 8 years wiser than when he first moved into the W H, a chicken waiting to be plucked and roasted by the swamp creatures. Also, unlike the first time, he has supporters or at least those too afraid to go against him in congress. I'm pickin' this time won't be anything like the last time. He'll be harder and more bloody minded, and he'll be out to settle scores with the swamp creatures. I'm really certain that there will be no BS Russia hoax clown shows by the Dems, or made up impeachments. This time it'll be full steam ahead and the Dems better get out of the way or get run over by the Trump train. Toot toot!

Here's a thought. No one knows the future, so any guess is probably as good as any other guess. Best can do is consider the alternatives and pick the best looking one. Then it's up to fate if it works or not. I have that sort of decision to make all the time and it's not easy to choose. Add the entire world and there are probably about a zillion things affecting any decision. I just work on the principle that it's always likely going to get worse for me and so far rarely been wrong. If there is actually a working crystal ball in the W H, it's been kept secret, but as they get it wrong all the time, I doubt it.

Bye bye.

IMO the only reason Biden won was that he wasn't Trump.

and still racking it up. "Loan" my left foot. Ukraine is broke and can't even finance the war itself. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/us/politics/20-billion-dollar-loan-ukraine.html U.S. Transfers $20 Billion Loan to Ukraine

I've noticed that they never mention covid when denigrating Trump's economy. It's like it never existed for them. If it wasn't so pathetic it'd be funny.

Log in? Interesting. I've never logged in.

It's just you. Were you being naughty or something?

I still use 7 and like it more than 10, which I'm using here. Hopefully I can get by without 11. MS is just a vile rip off organisation that managed to corner the market, for most computer users.

the world would be a better place without the internet. Fixed it for you. Humans survived for 50,000 years without the internet. Life may be simpler without 100,000 responses to a google search, but do we really need 100,000 responses to anything. Some of us would miss porn at a click, but we might get off our backsides and have a life if the internet didn't exist. I can even remember life before the internet, social media, porn at a click, ability to steal movies and music, etc. It was pretty good.

The USA was great in the period between WW2 and the assassination of JFK, but only for white folk, IMO. I think MAGA fans just want an end to gender and MMCC insanity, and decent jobs that pay a decent wage. They'd probably like a better health system and no wars as well.

He's not even POTUS yet and the neighsayers are already waving the dirty ended stick.

It amuses me that people give credit to POTUS when most of them probably have zero idea of how an economy works. As always they listen to advisors and then draw a straw to see which policy to implement. 50/50 chance it'll work. IMO. That includes Trump.

Obviously, them not being a nanny state. I once thought of working there for the freer life than Saudi, but the pay was a lot less. Pay in Saudi had to be high to get westerners to stay past 3 months.

Yawn.

That's not a parasol, it's a Chinese umbrella. Get a grip.

I love seeing such as the poster to whom you responded melting like snowflakes in the sun.

Short memory span? Trump had them last time and they were a disaster. This lot are hardly going to do worse than Kelly or Bolton. IMO all those with so called qualifications, relevant experience and support of the Constitution ( LOL ) are the preserve of Washington swamp creatures, and I doubt Trump is going to be so foolish as to go there this time- the swamp is the enemy, remember?

As the US representative said, "it would be rather awkward having a discussion with someone that had a 10 million reward on their head". I'm more concerned that Turkey may force him into a proxy war against the Kurds.

Didn't they win just a week ago? Perhaps we will know in a month or 6.

Oh dear oh dear, that'll give the Houthies something to laugh about amidst the destruction wrought on them by that plane.

Or the D man will be along with some more incorrect comments supporting the incompetents. Oh wait, he won't either.
