regarding Nato, Ukraine, the Paris agreement, his disregard of global warming, I agreed with him on all of those. his apparent willingness to use the military against the civil population. I don't think he can. It would be illegal for the military to do so, as has been pointed out by Austin. It's just Trump speaking without engaging brain. As would I, but given his opponent I had to support him. I am on record on this forum as saying such before. I only started really wanting him to win as the invective increased. Most of the haters have been noticeably absent since he won.

If he gets both houses he'll be able to implement his policies. Unlike last time when many GOP despised him as much as the Dems did. I'm looking forward to a closed border, the end of Ukraine war, Euros paying for their own military, the end of US military adventurism, the end of the MMCC fraud, hopefully the end of wokeness, the LGB+ obsession, the multiple gender insanity and men competing as women.

It is possible to not like someone, but elect him for his policies. It's also possible to like someone and not their policies. Harris is such an unknown that for all I know she might be a very nice person, but her policies ( when she bothered to say what they were ) were so bad, IMO, that she could have been Mary, mother of Jesus come to earth and I would never have voted for her.

The simplest way to achieve the objective is to go after businesses that employ illegals. If employers get a large fine for each illegal it would soon stop. Has to be coupled with making it easier for legal entry. The main thing is that legal entry does not become residency. Like Saudi, they come in, work and go home.

That is very applicable to Harris.

Sore loser?

The fight back against gender insanity proceeds.

Not all bad then.

Had she concentrated on the working class issues she might have done better. The greater emphasis on women and abortion etc were not important to financially struggling voters. In the end, all she had was Trump bad. Certainly seemed she couldn't open her mouth for longer than 5 minutes without attacking Trump. Voters want a positive message as to how she would make their lives better, but were disappointed. Negativity is a very big turn off. Adolf Hitler- seriously? I suspect we won't be hearing much from Kelly for a very long time. IMO she was the author of her own downfall.

the global resolve to fight climate change at this pivotal time. That sentence is why I think it's all BS. IMO we can't "fight" climate change. Humans will never win over nature. It's time to finally face up to reality, ditch the BS and start working to live WITH nature, not fight it. Learn to accommodate climate change, and stop pretending that EVs and windmills are some magic solution. Cancelling all future conventions where people attend in person would be a good start. By all means have a convention by VDO conference.

Good news. It's time to kick the MMCC IMO BS into touch. Too much money has been wasted on conventions in exotic parts of the world where far too many people fly to emit a whole lot of hot air.

Scholz looks like Biden, a confused old man out of touch with reality.

Seems Scholz is prepared to bankrupt Germany to support death in Ukraine. Just as well there is a grown up in the room.

+1 +1

He can't. A clear case of obsession IMO.

+1 J T didn't waste any time coming up with a grudge thread. Need I say more about him?

Soooooo, never were serious anyway. Just political theatre, and time for Smith to return to insignificance. He must be crying that Harris lost.

The EEC was a good idea for Europe. The political and monetary union has been a disaster. Sooner it goes back to an EEC the better.

Either sort of wheel is usually riveted on.

Need a photo of the wheel. If it's the castor type wheel it's usually riveted on which is easy to replace with a visit to any big hardware store as long as have a drill and a popriveter. If it's the built in sort, harder to replace.

Where is he? It's his thread, so we need his insightful contributions.

Live by the polls, die by the polls. He seems to have been absent for a while- about the time it was obvious she was going to lose.

I had assumed that the leader of such an important country to have at least some semblance of sophistication, elegance and integrity ???????????? If you live in any other western country you can hardly say things like that seriously. I've never considered western leaders to be particularly good at their jobs, but the present lot are abominable. Need only look at Starmer to know what I mean. Did Biden have any of those qualities?

The meltdowns are very entertaining.

If, as you claim, you are not in the Harris cult, why are you so exercised by what her opponents say?
