After Trump stops the war in Ukraine there will be plenty of money for the secret service to stay in hotels.

It certainly won't be any worse off. BTW, Musk is only copying NZ. The government in NZ has been laying waste to the bureaucracy, and long overdue too. https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/05/02/poll-majority-agree-with-public-sector-job-cuts/

Unless going to pass in the next decade or so, it might be worth while learning Mandarin.

However, let's not fool ourselves that it's a collaboration between two equals. The ongoing program will, IMO, be to convince British leaders to continue their poodle to master relationship. Far as I know the last time Britain told the US to stick their war was the Vietnam debacle.

Goody goody for the west that we haven't had a major world war recently, but let's face it, the "international world order" ( should that not be the "western world order"? ) has been abysmal for Vietnam, the Middle East, and any country that annoys a US president. Not exactly beneficial for most countries in Africa either. IMO the hypocrisy is so blatant that I'm surprised they managed to say it without blushing. I wonder if the Ukrainian war widows and fatherless children are as convinced about it as those two?

Threat of execution normally has the effect of focusing attention.

If the poster that is confused about my post ( you know who you are ) says what it is about my post that is confusing, I shall do my best to explain the reasons that war is not a good thing for humanity.

Profiting from making things to kill humans is not a "benefit" for humanity. If the same amount of money used to build the factories and pay the people that work in them was used for actual "benefit" of humanity, we'd all be better off. Humans are a weird species, rewarding the makers of death and destruction far more than those that want to make society better.

As always that would depend on the office. I always obtained a non O based on marriage, a few times, and always extended them based on retirement. To obtain a visa based on retirement I would have had to go to Wellington, as the Consulate in Auckland only gave non O based on marriage.

I wonder if they feel embarrassed when they rail against Iran and Co sending weapons to Russia? As with all wars, war technology is being updated with every battle and it must surely not have passed un noticed that Iranian, Nth Korea and China are improving their weapons, and the only possible use for them IMO will be against the US and whichever western nations are foolish enough to go poodle like into yet another interminable Middle East war.

A banana, same as every day.

On that I agree 100%. I'm still boggled that Bush got re elected.

They would have to be respected for that to be true.

Democrat politicians, yes, IMO.

IMO it was never about Trump the man. It was about "draining the swamp". Many Americans loath Washington to the extent of voting for Trump, just because he said he is against the Washington cabal.

People like Cheney never supported Trump, IMO. They are as much part of the "swamp" as any Democrat.

Only war mongers like Cheney, IMO.

True love doesn't exist IMO, It's an invention by business to sell chocolates and diamond rings, just like Santa was used to sell Coca Cola. https://www.coca-cola.com/us/en/about-us/faq/did-coca-cola-create-santa-claus Coca‑Cola did not create the legend of Santa Claus. But Coca‑Cola advertising did play a big role in shaping the jolly character we know today. You should ask the other women in the bar, as they will tell you the 100% truth. You can trust them for sure.

I did see that, but have no idea why they would be able to. Illegals broke the law to be in the US and they are given loans to buy a house- madness.

Perhaps his "family" members are annoyed because he doesn't give them lots of money. I had that problem with my Thai family members, and they sabotaged my marriage for it.

You exceeded me by one year, though most in Territorials. I wasn't a boy soldier thank the deity. They had to disband one of the two years because the bullying was so out of hand. I actually had a job in the real world for 2 years before joining the regulars. It was great while Vietnam was on, but went down hill rapidly once the guys who served in Vietnam had left, leaving the bullies in charge.

IMO anyone using that company deserve what they get. I will never ever go on it, as IMO it's a cesspool of bullying and misinformation.

It's not minuscule to anyone not able to get a house because illegals bought them. I'm boggled that illegals are able to even get a mortgage. As they are liable to be deported at any time, they must be an unacceptable risk to the lenders.

Yes, but if enough people wrote in a better choice they might win. I understand that is allowed in US elections.

Given by her lack of policies so far, all she has is "Trump bad", so that is all her supporters have as well. They can't point to anything that she achieved as VP, and her positions change frequently. Seems reality is creeping in now, and some in the Dem party will be wondering if they made the right choice, but then, who else was there to replace Biden, and he absolutely had to be replaced?
