No laughing matter, though.

Though I am now convinced P2J is taking the puss, as they say in NZ.

Are you a war denier? Trump hasn't started any wars which is unusual for a US president. Trump has signed peace treaties in the middle east that no-body thought possible  making Jerusalem capital of Israel where it belongs was a smart move.

I am born and bred Israeli. I can tell you that those 'peace' treaties are nothing but financially motivated by both sides. It has nothing to do with peace. The UAE and Israel have not been at war. They simply had no diplomatic relationships, but there was no war. These deals with signed to allow tourism into UAE and to open the flight paths. 

As for the Jerusalem move, it was an unnecessary distraction in what is already a fragile environment, and it fixed nothing in real terms. 

Please look into the history of the scum that is the PM of Israel, so you can better understand why he and  Trump have such a great working relationship. Both are in power to save their own [censored] from a long line of lawsuits, and both have twisted their own beliefs to suit whatever narrative helps them stay there. Natanyahu hasn't been able to form a majority government for years (3 elections or was it 4?). He just plays lapdog to whichever other political party will side with him to form a coalition, including the ultra Orthodox who are basically bleeding the country dry while refusing to serve in the military or work.

But I digress.

Excellent post. Trump is probably greasing the wheels for his future wheeling and dealing in the UAE.

Trump isn't a warmonger or anything resembling one.

 

 

This is true.

But didn't you say Trump will end up winning?

 

And how convenient that Daddy got Trump out of military service. 

Is Trump not a war monger or is Trump just a coward? Sanctions countries and then runs away and lets Israel do all the dirty work of killing all the Iranian nuclear scientists and destroying their plants (which I fully support by the way).

It's hard to call Trump a war monger when he is the only US president who hasn't declared war in generations. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.

US carona deaths aren't even in the top 10 countries per capita.

Thank goodness Daniel Andrews isn't running it over their, otherwise, it would be catastrophic.

Hang on, are you suggesting the US Covid numbers are ok because pre capita they aren't cracking the top 10? Really?

Their rate of infection is amongst the highest in the world, their daily death numbers are climbing and the holiday season and deep winter hasn't even hit yet!

They are a first world country, their death rate should be much lower as should their infection rate. If Americans actually had a president in charge who took Covid seriously, instead of holding superspreading events, or a present who cared about healthcare, or even a president who wasn't such a self serving piece of horse [censored] that actually passed the stimulus packages he promised, then maybe, just maybe, the US wouldn't be doing so badly and quarter of a million people wouldn't be dead today.

Their handling of the pandemic has been nothing short of embarrassing, but it is no wonder when their president is nothing short of embarrassing. Instead of fighting an election you know you lost, spend your energy fighting Covid you [censored]!

Do you understand what per capita means? It seems like you don't.

You know there is precedence for elections being overturned don't you? that happend with Bush v Gore.

I also bet you weren't complaining when Hillary tried to overturn her disastrous out come?

I am well aware of what per capita means. It takes nothing away from the fact that better leadership would have significantly reduced the number of deaths and in fact, infections in the US.

Oh yeah and the US is 6th in the world for infections per capita. Or is that irrelevant? 

Also please can we not compare the Bush v Gore situation. An election that was decided by one state and with less than 1000 votes. Biden has such a sizeable lead, that all it does is make Trump look like a bigger sore loser.

It's funny how the Republicans thought Hillary was completely outside of her right to challenge an election, again won by a smaller margin, where she won the popular vote (Trump lost it by a landslide), and yet it is completely ok for Trump to drag on this pathetic game of his and continue to throw the dummy instead of doing something useful with his remaining days in office. Speaks volumes about his lack of care for the job.

Hillary had a ridiculous Russian conspiracy with a compilcit CIA.

Triump has photos of suitcases  of votes coming in, coinciding with the time of statistically implausible outcomes.

LOL he has photos of suitcases with votes? I wanna see them. 

Clinton didn't challenge the legitimacy of the vote. The FBI launched an investigation on separate issues related to the Trump campaign's dealings with Russia. These didn't affect the legitimacy of the election, there were about campaign related matters. 

The Democrats were upset with the dealings of Russia with the Trump campaign, but the results of the vote were accepted. Trump is doing something entirely different, where he is trying to overturn the results of the election.

The US has 50 different states running 50 different electoral processes. This is really annoying, but it also makes it really hard to rig. In effect, you'd have to rig 50 very different elections, rather than just one. Trump is playing the theatre, knowing that he has lost, but trying to portray the image that he isn't a loser. I can see what's in it for Trump, but it's harder to see what's in it for the rest of the Republican Party.

Moving B52 bombers into the Middle East today as a threat to Iran. He's trying hard. Still 40 days of his Presidency to go.

Workers packed votes away because they'd been told to finish their shift. Then they were told (in the early hours of the morning) to keep going so, they unpacked them again. It was at this point that the video was filmed supposedly showing "massive vote substitution".

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie? 
    Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG. Unfortunately, performances like these went against the grain of what Melbourne has been producing from virtually midway through 2024 and extending right through to the present day. This is a game between two clubs who have faltered over the past couple of years because their disposal efficiency is appalling. Neither of them can hit the side of a barn door but history tells us that every once in a while such teams have their lucky days or come up against an opponent in even worse shape and hence, one of them will come up trumps in this match.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
