Oh he is in it up to his neck...

Sounds like the synopsis for the opening scene of a Frank Dreben movie!

I think perhaps it was a bit too close to the truth! That often provokes an outraged pearl clutching response!

The John West Salmon one is for my.money the funniest!

Presumably the client list was on Hunter Biden's laptop! No need to look any further; After all, just about everything else that ails his regime was!

And become the guy who can <deleted> through the eye of a needle at 20 paces.

301. The bored guy with way too much time on his hands. 302. The guy who buys too much crap on Lazarus, and then is surprised when it stops working after a week or so (that's me!).

Hysterically funny, In a crass sort of way! Perhaps someone on the inside (it was posted on the White House site) is taking the piss!

Three possibilities: 1) it was a miracle - proof that God watches over him. 2) it is a marvellous tribute to the recuperative powers bestowed by a diet of McDonalds, KFC and Coke. 3) It was faked... How wonderful that the photographer was present for the iconic perfectly framed shot of Donald Trump's "Iwo Jima" moment. PS: the Iwo Jima flag raising photographs were faked. I don't deny that the flag was raised when the mountain was captured but the photos were subsequently staged.

How far from Trump was the sniper? Close enough for a "service pistol" to be of any use, however "fat" she was, or however quick she was "on the draw". Ms Perez was sacked, what about the person in overall charge on that day, what about the person responsiblefor setting out and commanding the cordon (which manifestly failed), what about the person responsible for the drone surveillance (especially if they had brought the wrong cables)? Heads must roll, must be seen to roll. A Latina female agent - just the job!

A novel approach for the current American administration!

Do they sell button mushrooms?

Neither of which are particularly relevant to tariffs on Thailand! That said however, Ukraine is coming to realise how unreliable an ally Trumps America is, and NATO has already hoisted in that if it comes to a war with Russia over, let us say the Baltic states, America will opt out. That is rather factored in to the contingency plans.

Trouble is, deals mean nothing. The day after they're signed someone will show Trump that photo of his wife snogging Trudeau, he will throw a hissy fit, go back on social media and the whole deal will be off.

You raised the matter of fictional threads about Trump and weird obsessions. Let us just say I was providing a particularly bizarre example, which has appeared from within his own camp!

Yes, I meant the "Hunter Biden laptop is the new Pizzagate" thread to which he specifically referred.

Government by "Truth Social posts" Yet more tariffs plucked from his imagination, announced on his social media platform with no details for implementation, and vague suggestions that the rates may vary depending on diplomatic relations. He really is the global trade equivalent of a school yard bully shouting after people who wear spectacles! No wonder that the rest of the world are beginning to just ignore him. "Silly old fool" doesn't even come close!

What on earth are you wittering on about? I've been unable to find a forum by that name, I have, yes, occasionally made a passing reference to Hunter Biden's laptop - usually when taking the piss out of some of the more ludicrous conspiracy theories which feature it, and I have certainly never posted anything which required the closure of the entire World News forum. Could you be more specific, or shall we dismiss it as the product of a late night, fevered and well lubricated imagination?

I've seen some jolly funny posts on AN over the years, but this one takes the biscuit!

Absolutely - they (bullies) always go for the easy targets! Mind you, one would have thought that the US would have been a bit more circumspect when it came to Vietnam...

I suspect that by November 2026 (15 months) it is very likely that Trump will have lost control of the House of Representatives and The Senate. If that happens, and the two houses start to do their job properly it will certainly cramp his style!

Yes, it should have appeared under the name Khao Hom. I'm not quite sure what happened there. Sorry!

I just have, using this forum.

I must confess I am not worried - he has shown on his several responses to me, and others that he cannot "up his game"! Perhaps I should regard it as a badge of honour?

Just how many fat over stayers are there? The second quote ( below because I am unable to insert it above) rather reveals the prism through which the discussion is framed!
