Well he is due to retire at the end of the month - so about two weeks 'till H hour - or maybe I should say C hour!

Someone obviously "tipped him the wink" as to what the new regime had in store!

Eleven hours ago you said, not for the first time...

Keep asking that question. No-one will really answer it! One thing's for sure: it's not to avoid embarrassing friends, he hasn't got any, only cronies and those who see him as a step up! And he knows it.

Yes, he had better get a wiggle on if he is to realise the ambition displayed on his hat! Age, lifestyle and the troubles caused by a lifetime of (not so little) peccadilloes seems to have caught up.

I'm sure those phrases are held ready - he knows he is in for the long haul on this one, the scandal has stuck to " teflon Donnie".

So calling you out on a false claim, which you attempted to use as a crushing response in a previous debate makes me a stalker does it! This from a man who forever wildly redefines names and phrases to support his crackpot arguments, and prowls the forums looking for fights to pick! You know what it makes you, stand by, clutch your pearls, prepare to swoon, your favourite epithet - " a liar"! You use so much bandwidth constantly accusing constantly calling anyone who disagrees with you a liar - and now you stand exposed as one, it really is quite funny! And the only (feeble) excuse you can dredge up : "terrorists might 'dox' me"! Pathetic.

If you are worried about terrorists then the more sensible move would have not to have boasted about it in the first place on a public forum. Perhaps the real reason is that it was an empty boast - you were not telling the truth, you haven't written any such published works have you?

You've dodged a few from me over time - like for example references to a certain academic paper you claim to have written! If we we had real time debating you would just use it as a bandstand to bully and browbeat people from, it would "clear this place out" for sure - people would rapidly tire of you and go elsewhere. At least on this forum we can, if we choose, ignore you. I don't use the ignore function, I would sooner not miss the occasional barefaced hilarious lie and the subsequent attempts to wriggle out of it. What I do tend to ignore are your (increasingly frequent) demands that people rise to challenges or "dares" which you choose to set them, although at first reading quite amusing, they quickly pall.

Mind you all 3 events subsequently came spectacularly unstuck - Mussolini ended up being lynched, the " marchers on Stalingrad" - most never made it home, and France was liberated. Incidentally Otto Skorenzy probably wouldn't have taken kindly to being referred to as a " civil servant"! Mind you, I take your rather wistful point! Things aren't what they used to be in those circles!

Cynics may suggest that they may well have one "waiting in the wings"!

Come now, are you suggesting that the United States Cabinet and the rest of the inspirational crew, plus of course the many advisors such as Loomer ( Captain Beakie and the gang) are not competent? One need only look at that recently televised epic cabinet meeting to see that they are masters of their briefs!

"Please stop doing so, that's my job" - You left a bit off the end of your post so I thought I'd fix it for you!

Deputy Prime Minister in the UK is something of a " non job", a political sop to senior members of the party in government (often to buy loyalty from rivals or influential faction leaders) rather than having a defined role. Unlike the Vice President she/he has no defined duties, responsibilities or circumstances in which she/he automatically assumes the post of Prime Minister. Now as Housing Secretary, and playing fast and loose around the rules governing tax on second homes, that is a scandal which would, in my opinion, merit resignation.

I can't watch Donald Trump anymore without wondering if it's real or not!

A great legal scholar🤔!

The Aboriginals do have some remarkable tracking skills. Some years ago a relative was touring in "the outback". They came across an Aboriginal man sitting in a patch of shade looking at some tyre tracks in the dust. The tour guide used it as an opportunity to demonstrate these skills. " About 5 minutes up the road there is a red ute, big dog in the passenger seat, horned cow skull mounted on the roof, six fellas in the back singing and drinking sherry." "That's amazing, and you can tell all that from the tyre tracks?" " No, about 5 minutes ago I fell off the back of it!"

Sometimes I think that some of the points you make are worth considering, and then you go and pull a stroke like this! Your tolerance is really shining through! If they are 20% of the population then it is hardly surprising that they are an influential group - are there any other groups in Australian society who number such a large proportion of the population?

Not sure if that is a reflection on "lefties" or your views on politics! Real men tough out a dose?

What a silly comparison!

Now that would get them " torqued up"!

I should imagine that money will matter rather a lot if you are stopped at the airport with a month's supply in your suitcase!

Well if we delve into names, the original (old English) meaning of Trump is certainly not sweet smelling!

As a Catholic myself I don't see that as a problem! They may be (to varying degrees) devout and practicing, but rarely fanatical; certainly not in the way of the evangelical religious groups in the USA who take a lead from the " Pilgrim Fathers". "Way to many" - what do you suggest should be done? Imprisonment or expulsion on religious grounds is a bit passé these days!

The whole business of forcibly shipping and resettling people to different countries is a complex matter, with many consequences and ramifications. Britain for example shipped it's criminals to Australia and it's religious fanatics to the Americas. On balance, Australia turned out much better!
