I have had many short term sexual encounters as well as longer term. No interest to me how many sexual relations my wife had prior to us getting together, never asked.

No, but the prevalence from MAGA is astounding, the volume appears to be unique to the US. I guess not surprising as Trump is a significant contributor / support of conspiracy BS.

What does Trump gain from bullying a relatively small economic entity with the reality the US tax payer pays the tariffs.. Given the size of the US economy how many countries could actually close the import / export trade gaps. Australia has a positive trade relationship with the US, yet Trump still wants to impose tariffs; the guy is a moronic bully busily undermining long established allied relations. Should US companies offshore all their manufacturing it will drive other countries into economic difficulties thereby destabilising the World Order for which there will be heavy price to pay by the US. Given Trump is cutting off aid and support for nearly all countries, love to see them collaborate and cease all shipment off supply of rare minerals required by US manufacturing (as well as coffee beans) - it would put the cat among the the pigeons!

Thanks for the link. Generally the content provides me with little comfort and often reflects the memes of todays Far Right / Christian Nationalism as evidenced in Trumps and members of his team comments

<snipped for brevity> I assume you're joking, just in case not: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran an d Chile are some examples

Deflection / denial failed again. The language used in the advisory is classic far right / white nationalist jargon authored by...a senior adviser in the U.S. State Department. JD Vance and co, including Stephen Miller would be very familiar with the tone and messaging. It's crystal clear Trump is being influenced by his appointed "advisors" “The Need for Civilizational Allies in Europe”, the document was written by Samuel Samson, a senior adviser in the U.S. State Department.

No surprise with Trump having white supremacists / Christian nationalists as advisers. The policy has already started with Trump placing 50% tariff on Brazil (interference in domestic affairs) in support of a far right President removed from power. President Donald Trump announced that he plans to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil, citing in part the treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro, a political ally.

Trump thoroughly corrupted the Judicial process by appointing numerous sycophants in his 1st term

Utter rubbish. The usual reversal of Truth from MAGA world, it's the Trump Administration and enablers suppressing political opposition via various means including the Judiciary.

El Salvador has informed the United Nations that it holds no legal responsibility for the more than 200 Venezuelan men whom President Donald Trump ordered to be sent to its maximum-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison earlier this year — a claim that directly contradicts repeated assertions from the Trump administration.

MTG too much of a nutcase, maybe Trump Jnr who appears to believe he's wonderful and echo;s his father thoughts.

One would assume that if Musk puts enough effort into this new party will damage MAGA, hopefully enough that they will not get into power. The downside is the circuitous route correcting all the policy errors under Trump at great cost and effort.

Only those that attempt to arrive by sea without a visa. A great deal of debate regards this matter as contrary to UN Convention for Refugees. Some were kept in offshore camps for many years awaiting resettlement whilst costing the Australian government (tax payers) approx AUD400k p.a. p.p. Personally I though a very expensive solution and cruel. There was a deal on the table for Malaysia to accept those arriving by sea, but for reasons unknown to me rejected by Oz government. As happens in the US and rarely mentioned, thousands arrive every year by aiy, then claim asylum, overstay visa for years etc With a population of approx 27 million we have around 60,000 staying illegally, including US citizens.

Just as Australia has done, keep them in detention until their home country agrees to the return (so long as free from repression. Alternatively for a UN Refugee signatory country will accept the. The downside to all of this is UN members are not living up to their commitments leaving millions in refugee camps for years. For the US to send detainees against their wish to a country with zero facilities / legal processes for detainees is a crime; if fact I would think a crime against humanity. As Old Croc posted above it is extortionary how low the Trump Administration has fallen, I assume under the influence of White Supremist who report directly to Trump as well ass many MAGA types wfo support such abuse and cruelty. The recent massive increase in the ICE budget is yet another terrible indication of where the USA heading
