Trump telling people to not worry about the increased cost of petrol and oil:

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money"
Just how do you respond to that?
The stupidity and ignorance of this man knows no bounds.
 
#WelfareCheck on EL Hefe EL Hefe - been quiet lately and this may be the reason.


No shame dude. It could happen to the best of them. :innocent:
 
Exactly Mama.

Have you seen the movie? Its very clever and basically exposes governments/politics.

Stars De Niro and Hoffman.

The director character is based on Stanley Kubrick.
To be honest, no I haven’t watched it but after reading your post did a bit of checking thus the reply.
I shall certainly now have a look to see where to watch it or check the op shops to see if I can get a physical copy.
 
Little OT but interesting all the same.

Brazil have just blocked the visa of Darren Beatie. Aide to the Orange Odour. Now there were two parts to this.

Dazza wanted to visit Bolsonaro while in Brazil, serving his 27 year sentence for refusing to accept the last election (US - you should have taken the hint), the visit was blocked and went to the Supreme Court in Brazil where the ban was upheld.

The visa, the US blocked the visa of Brazils Health Minister and its tit for tat.

Now whats interesting about all this is Brazil are in the middle of an election. Different process, you vote people out and its last man standing. Believe its up to round 2. Main candidates? Current Pres Lula and a dude named Flavio. Bolsonaros son.

And based on opinion polls at the moment - its a dead tie. Either is the favourite.

So if you look at the crazies running countries at the moment, Orban is currently behind in polling in Hungary although the Russkies (lol - its probably the US) are flooding the election space with pro Orban AI. So thats up in the air. Milei is safe.

So by the end of year you could have Milei and Skanky on an island or the US 'block' could control most of south america and have another few years of EU blocking under Orban.

Probably why Brazil have blocked anything election related and AI. They know whats coming.

Something else with potentially far reaching implications.

DHS shooting in Texas. Happened ages ago, protests outside a detention centre and shots were fired. Believe some of the prisoners were hit, police officer shot in the neck and survived. 13 or 14 people charged including the guy that hit the police officer.

Now the guy who shot the officer is up on attempted murder. But its the others that are interesting.

Up on providing material support to terrorists (as in antifa being terrorists). 4 or 5 of them pled guilty in return for being prosecution witnesses. The others have been found guilty. Apparently the argument was the others brought body gear, guns and first aid kits suggesting the whole thing was a terrorist attack.

Now this is Texas were every person has 3 guns and police have been known to shoot first and ask later. Also there were a lot of questions raised in the case as to who fired first.

Regardless, there is now a legal precedent that the Govt can use that says if a protest occurs and something goes down, anyone involved in the planning of that protest is up on material support and can be looking at 15 years.

You clearly do not read what I post hahahaha… enough I’m over it
Obviously I do.
Not sure how you can be ‘over’ anything you haven’t done (ie: answer a simple question) but okey dokey. You’ll be missed :-).

I’m over you not the question. You didn’t do what I asked you to do… so why should I answer a question you asked to dodge my initial request. Laughable lol

Thank you for making it so easy :-).
 
Either way the world is fucked, trump now owned by Israel. Kamala would have pushed everything more woke and 200 percent Israel owned.
 
Should have split it up like the LOTR trilogy.

Too long and feels like a repeat.
I’ll take that under advisement. lol.
You’re probably right anything Trump should be in absolute moderation as it could be hazardous to your health….

That was one of the things many hated about Harris. She still backed Israel but she also said that Israel needs to stop killing innocent children. Trump used that against her and said that she hates Israel because she doesn't fully support genocide.

It's clear that Trump is the most Israel owned candidate, but Biden was a close second. Harris still would have let them do what they want but she probably wouldn't have given them bigger bombs like Trump did.
 
An interesting breakdown from Robert Pape (Professor of political scientist and adviser on Middle East conflict) about how Trump has painted himself into a corner with Iran that he can't really get out of. But also why he's almost certain to send troops into Iran.

I should add that this interview was recorded before reports came out that confirm at least 2,500 marines have been deployed to the area for potential boots on the ground operations.
