Shouldn't that be Keir Starmer: Friends Say the country Desperately Needs a Break

Most politicians, IMO, are a holes, so Trump fits in nicely in Washington. BTW. I'd rather have an a hole than a jabbering imbecile that was the only alternative.

That's OK, Not many like British politicians, other than Farage.

Do I suspect a whiff of an unwarranted sense of superiority?

Rare Earth isn't actually rare. It is just really polluting to refine. The US will, if not already, find some other country to pollute to make up the shortfall, IMO.

IMO Musk doesn't think a lot about what he says. Eg the submarines for a cave rescue in Thailand fiasco. Anyone with a functioning brain cell knew it wouldn't work, but he got all bitter and twisted and lashed out with inappropriate descriptions of the British guy. He probably thinks having loadsacash makes him right on everything.

If the US government was run like a business, most of the cabinet and certainly the POTUS and VP would have got the boot long ago. No business would run up such a large deficit through wasteful spending and survive. The US government badly needs some grown ups in charge.

Musk can't do any worse than the clowns currently in the W H.

Numerous credible sources and only specifying The Guardian. Pull the other one- it's got bells on.

There are some very sad posters on here.

If they were not laughing at Biden's latest gaffe they were aghast that someone that mentally incompetent could be POTUS.

Christmas is for kids and I don't have any, so it's just another day.

Hip hop and rap are not the best- they are the worst. Gangsta culture isn't great either. Forever wars are something the US should avoid exporting as well.

I'm very emotionally happy that Harris lost.

OP needs to go to a Dr and get some relevant tests done. I only know I'm pre diabetic because the Dr had routine tests done. Anyway, give up sugar and a/ lose weight b/ not get your legs chopped off or go blind from diabetes. c/ save loads of money I did nothing other than give up sugar, and no diabetes for 2 years. I did lose a lot of weight. I'm only 2 kg more than what I weighed in 1996, instead of 16 kg more.

Obama has a beachfront property in Hawaii, so he apparently doesn't think the sea level is rising at a great speed.

I believed him ( I also believed that marriage was a good idea, so that makes me stupid ), till I saw the movie The Great Global Warming Swindle in 2007. I no longer believe him ( or think that marriage is a good idea ).

It's a brave person to declare that something that MIGHT happen will never happen. Nature has a habit of exterminating species unexpectedly. Tell the dinosaurs that there was no possibility a dirty great rock would fall on the planet and kill them all ( except, apparently, some bird species ). I'm more comfortable saying that Man Made Climate Change is a gigantic hoax, designed to part large amounts of treasure from the peasants and give it to the 1%. In return we peasants get Chinese style surveillance and control. Never mind, I believe social media, sports and mind altering drugs are a pleasant way to pass the time, if one is a sheeple.

a/ mankind does need hope to carry on. Given the terrible lives many if not most of humanity live it's a wonder that they carry on. God, climate change, celebrity opinions, wars etc are all good distractions from s****y lives and allow people to hope. It's interesting though, that only people in wealthy nations seem fooled by the man made climate change illusion b/ The Christ did not say that hell existed. He merely said that certain people ( mainly the rich ) would not easily be able to enter heaven. Do try and get your scorn for religion correct. Hell is a human invention that the men in funny hats use to control the sheeple.

You seem unaware that many officials have to be selected and approved by the Senate before the new POTUS is inaugurated. If you think that can be done in 2 weeks you are dreaming.

The plan is progressing nicely. Destroy the family. Check Make everyone fear doom that only the elites can save us from eg a natural climate cycle portrayed as something terrible that the elites can reverse, but only with vast transfers of wealth from the peasants to the elites. Check Distract the peasants from what is really going on with celebrities and sport. Check Neverending wars far away. Check. Introduce "newspeak". Check. Increase hardship for the peasants slowly, so they don't revolt , yet. Check. Introduce silly inanities to divide society, so they won't unite against the elites, till it is too late. Eg pretending that there are more than 2 genders and making people actually believe that a man can become a real woman. Check. Normalise killing unborn babies. Check. Normalise using mind altering drugs for stress relief and kicks. Check. Take government power away from elected officials and make it the preserve of unelected people of the "right" mind set. Check. Reduce democracy to a choice between very bad candidates, so people vote against candidates, rather than for them because they have great policies. Check.

or not. Seems you spoke too soon. https://apnews.com/article/trump-government-shutdown-deadline-speaker-johnson-budget-da117337aa0c0adab34a5626bb5816af The House approved Johnson’s new bill overwhelmingly, 366-34, and the Senate was working late into the night toward votes.

I'm already disappointed by his talk about the M E. I disagree on everything he proposes. As for the rest, if he scares the Euros and stops illegals entering the US, I'll take 2 out of 3 as a passing mark.

I liked that.

Seriously? Do they take us all for ignoramuses?
