I don't need this sh#t in my Life, and so *You* are now on my Ignore-List.

DTrump is 78y old. I *know* several people of that age among my associates, and *none* of them have *all* of their marbles. .... He-is-The-Person/These-are-The-People that are making Vital-Decisions for the rest of us ? ... ... In The-Name-of-Dog .... * --- Why do Companies expect their Employees to retire at the age of 65 (or so) ? ... *However*, for Politicians ...

The US wasn't (actively) involved in 1939. On 11 December 1941, three days after the United States declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on the US. Italy also declared war on the US on the same day. - That same day, the US, in its turn, declared war on Germany and Italy.

The American Right-Wing *detest* all-Things-"Communist", and use the word *continually* to characterise/criticise/demonise all-Things-Democrat. -- But don't they feel a tad out-of-place while America sidles up politically alongside ("Ex-Communist"/Totalitarian) Russia and especially ("Communist") China ?

-- DTrump and JDVance are Russian-Assets.

I've read through the above 4 pages and added a(nother) collection of hateful, unpleasant Posters to my Ignore-List. The World itself is (unfortunately) *not* becoming a more Peaceful-Place, but my Asean-Now Threads certainly are.

DT wants to buy Greenland. -- He wants to *annex* Canada, and *invade* Panama.

Sooooo, ... tell me how Things are going nowadays in "The Special Relationship" ...

And this comment has earned you a spot on my Ignore-List. DTrump is a Russian-Asset, not KS.

It is clear that Team-M consciously support it - this is what they want, and this is who they are.

This is DTrump at his *best* with "Distraction-Politics". The House has just passed a contentious Tax+Spending-Bill, but Team-DT would prefer that we don't talk about it. So here we are, ... talking instead about Drag-Shows. *This* has been DT's play-book for 10y.

30% of Federal Workers are Veterans - compared to 5% in the rest of the workforce. --- I would find it hard to believe that those Vets are Left-Leaning, Lazy Losers, who deserve to lose their jobs.

The Congressional Republicans aren't going to say/oppose anything, and Senator Roger Wicker isn't going to say anything. -- They *know* that they're working for DTrump nowadays.

B, 5 years ago I did read a 1st-Year undergraduate Economics textbook, cover-to-cover. However Economics/Public-Finances is not my area of expertise; I make no pretence to being knowledgable on the subject, and I know that I don't know enough to make any practical suggestions. A Host of Posters on this and other Threads have stated that *they* know that the UK Government is currently doing Things wrong, but I don't see any suggestions (here) about what could be done to improve the situation. I would like the UK Government to be able to balance-the-Books, but currently (it seems that) the Government just doesn't have enough money available to keep a-large-fraction-of-The-Public even remotely "pleased" with current Public-Spending decisions. -- Rachel Reeves, as Chancellor, is in a *really* tight bind.

B - And neither have *you*. * --- If you *do* have any alternative plans/options for the UK to balance its Books, let's hear it.

The title of the piece is:- "Keir Starmer’s Ties to Bangladesh Raise Questions Amid Controversy". -- However, the piece itself *doesn't* actually ask any questions. - Perhaps there aren't any ?

Q: What did The Trump Administration do re. Afghanistan ? Radical Rightists doing what Radical Rightists do.

Just to get the numbers straight -----> During President Obama's two terms, he removed 5,256,858 individuals. During President Trump's first term, he removed 2,001,280 individuals. During President Biden's term, he removed 4,677,460 individuals, as per July 2024.

You asked, "For what ?" "For the live streaming event in September, my production company, Harpo, was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, crew, producers and every other item necessary (including the benches and the chairs we sat on) to put on a live production. I did not take any personal fee. However, the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were." O Winfrey, in an interview with TMZ.

The President doesn't have *any* of the Country's Money; *Congress* has the Money.

JBiden put together a $60 Plan for Ukraine in 2023, but Mike Johnson delayed bringing the Funding-Bill to the Floor of The House for *6 months* (because MJ was afraid that he'd lose his job if he did). -- Biden did what he could re. funding for Ukraine ... "Other American Politicians" chose to work against his efforts.

I'm tapping out here. Neither you, nor JonnyF, have provided *any* support for your positions. In future, if either of you choose to engage with me, please be prepared to provide *support* for your positions. -- Both of you are merely Time-wasters, and *my* time is valuable.

Proof ? ... In-the-name-of-Dog ... Do you *know* what The IFS *is* ? https://ifs.org.uk/about "The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) is the UK’s leading independent economics research institute." - *Their* Economists *knew* about a £22B shortfall, *in-advance*. What kind of "Proof" can an Economist provide ? ... Proof of their Knowledge ? * I've quoted 2 *credible* (right-leaning) sources, which is more than anyone else in this thread. ... Whereas, on-the-*other*-hand, ... So don't hesitate to jump in with "Proof" of "No-one has actually confirmed ... " - Are you waiting for a Report from the Accountants/Auditors ? ... *Next* year ?

And another one -----> https://ifs.org.uk/articles/ps22bn-black-hole-was-obvious-anyone-who-dared-look "The £22bn ‘black hole’ was obvious to anyone who dared to look."
