  1. Vogon poetry is easier on the ear than Kamala talking “policy” ☠️
  2. For a moment I thought that read Martians 👽 and that maybe someone had taken Paul Krugman seriously after all. 🤣 https://theweek.com/articles/482454/could-alien-invasion-really-save-economy
  3. Just remember … Chuck Norris knows Vicoria’s Secret 🤣
  4. Would we see more investment in small businesses under a Harris regime, to stick it to Amazon now that Jeff Bezos stiffed her on a WaPo endorsement? 🤔
  5. Until a viable alternative to the lithium-based battery is available, electric cars will remain an outlier. The environmental cost is unsustainable and the raw material sources remain a source of global economic friction. The West, in particular the USA, can not and will not allow China to become the dominant market force in EV production and sales. Solid state batteries looked to be the way forward. With greater capacity and faster recharging, but developed has been slower than anticipated. Anyone aiming for 2035, or even 2050, as an ICE cut-off date, is being impracticality optimistic. Without significant and well-planned investment in an electric charging infrastructure, unlike the $7.5bn investment con-job perpetrated by the Biden-Harris administration, the ICE will always remain the most accessible and efficient means of ground transportation.
  6. It doesn’t matter if she knows the topics, they know the topics, or the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal knows the topics. Kamala Chemeleon is inherently unable to form succinct, coherent and cogent responses to the questions posed, even if she is given days to prepare. She can’t manage a 3 minute conversation without needing balsamic vinaigrette for her word salad. A 3 hour conversation would be a nightmare from which her psyche would never recover. ☠️
  7. If you are standing 2 feet away from a Giant Redwood, I doubt you can see much of that one tree, let alone the whole blooming’ forest 🤣 Which colour would that be? 🤔 My guess is a bright vomit green. 😉
  8. Whenever anyone says “comeback”, all I can think of is Chris Pratt 🤣 IYKYK☠️
  9. I doubt it. Rather I think the Owners of each paper believe that Kamala Chameleon is the losing ticket this time around and don’t want to be associated with that dumpster fire.
  10. Different breed of billionaire. The Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Bill Gates and George Soros are all of a reliable political flavor. Donald Trump is not. Before 2015, he was seen as leaning Democrat, if not a full-fledged Democrat. He was feted by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. He donated to Democrat causes. He was part of the in-crowd. Then he walked down that escalator and everything changed.
  11. What was most conducive to the evolution of Donald Trump as a political force were the divisions sewn under the Obama era, mainly by race, but also, among other factors, by the weaponisation of political agencies against the nascent populist organisations within the GOP, most prominent of which was the Tea Party. Having the IRS persecute right-of-center organisations in an obviously biased manner convinced the rank and file of the GOP that they needed a robust figurehead to lead their populist push, rather than the rehashed politicos that had led the Tea Party like a blind gerbil farmer. The wrinkles started appearing when it became apparent that Trump’s business acumen was such an asset that it threatened to upset the Washington machine. None of his policies are determined by race, gender, political affiliation, or any of that #######, despite what the Democrats and their allies in the media might want you to believe. No, all of his policies are driven by financial considerations. Illegal immigration is a major drain on Federal and State coffers. Tariffs address the historical market-rigging of China and aim to rebalance a decidedly unbalanced trade situation. They also drive manufacturing home, to increase revenue and taxes. And so on and so on. When combined, this success of this type of approach makes traditional politicians uncomfortable. The unfamiliar territory they find themselves in diminishes their power and influence. There are less avenues to promote their own influence and less opportunities to benefit from their policy positions. So they resist. And the alphabet agencies resist strongest of all.it is in their interest to maintain the status quo (the situation not the band). History can educate us about what happens when you try to change things too much in Washington.
  12. What seems funny to me is all the generals stating DJT is a fascist and cannot be trusted with command of the U.S. military, when the warhawks (the Cheneys) are moving from the GOP to support the Harris candidacy, while those wanting us out of conflicts (Tulsi Gabbard) are moving to join the GOP and support the Trump candidacy. This tells me that the military brass, and the military-industrial complex, expect more money and more action with a Harris White House. Puts their motives in a whole different light, one which needs night googles and a few rounds of 120mm APFSDSDU to go with it ☠️
  13. And yet the current administration’s DOJ is already persecuting reporters who show signs of independent thought, like Catherine Herridge. https://apnews.com/article/catherine-herridge-journalist-contempt-fox-news-cbs-63f6b2cde67fceae192daebe5d11b1a1
  14. Well, they sure buried the remnants of Slim Shady’s rap career. And Obama proved who, out of him and DJT, was the better dancer. 🤣
  15. It has been a constant refrain. In 2005, Israel left the Palestinians of Gaza a territory that was clean, had decent infrastructure and great prospects for further development. With the aid money that was flowing in, the Gazans could had prospered. But instead of thriving and building on what was already there, they allowed the radicals’ hatred to fester and grow, tearing down what they had been left solely because of who had left it. They allowed their own people to suffer, to create the false impression that they were being oppressed, and provide the false “justification” for their continuing violence against Israel. And the world media lapped it up. There is no attempt being made to uncover where the aid has been going, no accounting for the billions of dollars spent subsidising the terrorists. Because that would be Islamophobic and might uncover the truth. The international community has conspired against Israel for almost its whole existence. Is it any wonder that the Israelis take no notice of the UN resolutions against them?
  16. So the aid is getting to Gaza. That will hurt the narrative that Israel is trying to starve the population there. The fact of the matter is that Hamas are diverting the aid away from civilians, thus exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, and the compliant world media are blaming it all on Israel. With sensitive documents on the conflict being purloined from U.S. sources and disseminated by Iran, plus the U.S. ultimatum on aid to Gaza, is it any wonder the Israelis are no longer keeping the U.S. government apprised of their military planning?
  17. So, the party of “The Rich Must Pay Their Fair Share” believes that the rule should apply to everyone except themselves? 🤔 Quelle surprise 😒 It would be so nice to see Adam Schiffhead be indicted of real fraud, after all his pencil-necked bleating about DJT’s non-fraud and other imaginary, yet leak-worthy misdeeds.
  18. More to the point, it needs to be real, fatty bacon, not the prepackaged, precooked garbage, cooked so the fat is just tuning crispy, but still has oodles of grease seeping out, and the bread must be slathered with butter. 😋
