1 minute ago, spidermike007 said:I am not a supporter of Musk now, nor have I been a supporter of DOGE, so I'm the wrong person to ask. I think it was a completely ridiculous act, I think it was phony to a huge degree, and I think it didn't save much at all in the way of money, but a tremendous amount was lost in the way of jobs, international prestige and aid to the poorest of the poor.
I agree, but I go a bit further. He fired people indiscriminately, no thought behind it. That will have actual cost in real life, later on. Some of those people had to be rehired. Legal costs. The ending of f.i. USAID has nothing to do with waste fraud and abuse, it has to do with bigotry. Unless Musk, or DOGE, shows what waste fraud and abuse he has miraculously discovered. So far he hasn't.
It's a chainsaw in the hands of a drug addict, allowed by a clown.

1 minute ago, spidermike007 said:I think it was the pretense of DOGE, and now Trump turning around and introducing the big ugly bill which will add trillions to the deficit. Those two actions are in conflict with each other, at least on the face of things.
At this point I think Musk feels like a hypocrite, and perhaps he feels betrayed by the giant liar, when Trump has absolutely no interest in lowering the deficit and was completely insincere about those talking points, saying absolutely anything that he needed to say to get elected.
I really don't like either of these guys but I dislike Trump a whole lot more than Musk. What's really fascinating is that six months or a year ago Musk was a hero to so many, then he became a villain and a creep for supporting villainous spending cuts, and now he's starting to look heroic against for speaking truth, when nobody else will.
It's all quite amusing and I for one I'm really enjoying watching this play out. My guess is the Trump will end up being the loser in all this, which is kind of his MO in general. Though he doesn't like being a loser, it suits him well.
Can you explain to me what Musk has actually achieved with his illegal DOGE actions? For one thing a lot of private data of American citizens has found it's way into his hands, but what else?

Elect a clown (a corrupt fascist and racist clown) expect a circus (a corrupt fascist and racist circus).
64 million, 74 million and 77 million adult Americans voted for this clown.
Do they enjoy the circus? Or are they simply too stupid?

No I'm not American, and I'm not parroting what he says.
But I do come from a country which stood up to unfair policies and did something about it.
He's standing up to a massive trade deficit, instead of the left who pulled their pants down, bent over and said help yourselves.
Do you have any understanding of what a trade deficit means? And if you're going to look it up, instead of simply believing whatever Trump says, please include services. That might help your understanding

So far almost 70 countries have asked to come to the negotiating table and talk about trading and tariffs.
So maybe not so idiotic..
Bidens policy of allowing USA to be shafted wasn't so great
Good to see people like you are simply parroting whatever that guy Trump says. Are you American by any chance?
Well, the guy apparently won a golf tournament, while he could have paid respect to the four American servicemen who lost their lives in Lithuania.
But who gives a <deleted>, certainly not Americans.

Domestic tourism may be hit more, those businesses who predominately export to USA may find revenues slump as State-side stop buying.
The people in SE Asian countries, and China, are far more resilient to economic hardship than Americans.
When Trump's idiotic economic policies have fully worked out, the whining from Americans will be deafening.

Peter Huber, Werner Abegglen, Walter Meier. Leander Zurbriggen. That would be typical swiss name.
I did google the name, as I never heard somebody called like that in Switzerland. I found somebody (maybe even him) living in Switzerland. But the name is persian. One of the many refugees that got a Swiss Passport after some years.
It's not common for this immigrants to act like original Swiss people. Because of the mass of immigrants in Switzerland its more the other way around. We, as a nation, start to act like our immigrants. And that does not better our behaviour unfortunately.
You only mention 'German' sounding Swiss names. As far as I know Switzerland has four different language regions, so probably four different 'typical' Swiss names.
I'm from the Netherlands, and I have a name that looks like it's from Spain or Portugal. And my family tree goes back at least 250 years in the Netherlands. Imagine how the reactions would be from the usual xenophobes on this forum if I ever appeared in Thai news.
So someone's name is basically totally irrelevant, that's my point.

Were they supposed to challenge him one on one to a fight and hand him a pair of boxing gloves ? What world do you ppl live in ?
The Swiss guy probably insulted them and showed them zero respect. The concept on honour really seems lost on westerners. Big talk, no substance. Well some people aren't just talk.
Honor goes both ways. Lounging on my car (an assumption) is not a show of respect or honor.

His peace plan for Palestine (not the Abraham Accord which was not a peace plan) was negotiated only with Netanayahu (same m.o., why negotiate with the two opposing parties, It's so simple to negotiate only with one! 😃). Netanyahu was so happy about it that he wanted to annex the territories in advance without waiting for the end of the committee's work.
Why confuse the right wing nuts with facts, why oh why ...

3 minutes ago, James105 said:Biden was a very weak president. It's no surprise that bad actors in the Middle east and Russia took advantage of this fact. Maybe my memory is incorrect, but I don't recall such wars starting when Trump was last president, and even seem to recall some kind of peace agreement in the middle east when he was last in office. I'm expecting to see a new era of de-escalation and perhaps even peace over the next 4 years and hopefully beyond. Not good for the war mongers and those who profit and take glee from wars, but good for everyone else, especially those who are sent to fight and die in these wars.
If you mean by 'peace agreements' the Abraham Accords, the only thing it has achieved is handing over 2 billion to Jared Kushner, plus many millions each year as 'management fee'.
Of course it ignored the Palestinians completely. It was all about greed, and worked out well that way. It has absolutely nothing to do with peace in the Middle East.

Just as I thought. Another leftist nutter that still can’t accept defeat.A perfect explanation of why you accuse Eric Trump of being a coke head.
Absolutely no proof.
You have no credibility.
Why bring the dumbest of Trump's sons into the discussion, while it's about Donald Jr?

No it isn't there was no reality there. Anyway back to the feel good affairs of Grandpa. ATCMs and now land mines. Nobel peace prize forthcoming.
Thanks for changing the subject, as expected.
My father taught me, if you do something, do it good.
Biden has been a disaster in foreign policy. He is too slow, too scared.
And allows Netanyahu to put the middle finger to him every single day, while being complicit in genocide and war crimes.
If Biden really wanted to help Ukraine against the illegal invasion of Russia, he should have acted quickly and decisively. He is not capable of that. That's Biden's legacy.
Besides, by his weakness and incompetence, handing over the presidency to a vile person like Trump.

Fox is smart to use attractive people for its productions. Trump is also appointing people while maybe not good looking work well on TV. Kamala tried to show of her body in skin tight grandma jeans and people didn't want to tap dat. Must be the lizard skin neck.
Kennedy beat Nixon in the debate based on looks etc.
I'm not disputing that America's so-called 'democracy' is going the way of a never ending reality tv show.

that point on the top of your head is growing...
Your messiah Biden and those controlling the decomposing mess of his rotten brain are more concerned about the grift and keeping it alive, funding the war machine rather than stopping the war, engaging in peace talks to end the carnage and saving lives. Why else do they refuse peace talks but squander your tax dollars to compensate the grifter Zelenskyy! Trump is on track to sort this, putin and his BRICS colleagues are laughing at the stupid American war machine responsible for a million or more casualties. It's over when Trump says so. He has said as much.
So I have to suggest you again, stay off the Khao Lao? Your ranting is not getting any better, is it?

Defining who is winning is open to various interpretations.
Yes they have taken 100,000km2 of territory. Most of whose cities are evacuated, infrastructure rubbled and farmlands laid waste.
They have Crimea - perhaps the original "Causus Belli" - Sevastopol as a base for their Black Sea Fleet; but much of that Black Sea Fleet is at the bottom of the Black Sea. The peninsulas communications are dependent on one bridge, which Ukraine has demonstrated it can cut when it wants. The much vaunted Russian Army, touted as superior to NATO and almost on a par with the US is trashed, and they have paid an enormous price in casualties, ever more difficult to replace. They failed to contain the Ukrainian move into Kirsk, and are relying on hiring in troops from North Korea to defend Mother Russia! Their economy is boogered.
Ukraine, battered, is still standing, still fighting and still hurting Russia, and shows no sign of failing. Ukraine's closest political and geographical allies, are showing greatly increased determination to stand up to Russia, are doing so through the auspices of a somewhat reinvigorated NATO alliance, which is waking up to the fact that it is probably going to have to manage without the US.
The US military may well rapidly lose potency under the inspired leadership of a Fox News presenter, and with large swathes of it's command structure possibly facing dismissal or Courts Martial! Certainly no-one is going to rely on them!
So when you are considering winning and losing, you need to consider more than battle maps.
I'd say you're right, but where is that claim of 100.000 km2 coming from? Since February 2022 of course.

Clash of the Titans: Trump and Musk's Public Fallout Sends Shockwaves Through Washington
in World News

Cutting aid to projects in foreign countries comes from bigotry, if you don't show what the waste fraud and abuse is in those projects. Btw, if there was any waste fraud and abuse, show it, and eliminate it. Not the project .
Another btw, isn't Congress the institution to determine where the money goes?
This is all done by a wacko with plastic cheese on his head, or two hats, running around with a chainsaw or making the Sieg Heil salute.
Yes, and a self-admitted ketamine addict.
