How long will it take for trump to say something stupid and derogatory about President Carter? Or has he done it already.

Isn't there still time?

ChatGPT can salvage your life, so there is hope.

Yeah, just 31 days and he will have the power to send in the marines. in other news "The Danish government has announced a huge boost in defence spending for Greenland, hours after US President-elect Donald Trump repeated his desire to purchase the Arctic territory. Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the package was a "double digit billion amount" in krone, or at least $1.5bn" American hegemony becomes dominant again.

Evidently to Libya

I take it that Deckker has got under your skin a bit?

Putin has caused Finland and Sweden to join NATO. Now with Hezbollah and Hamas gone, Iran's power has been severely diminished. With the fall of the Syrian(Assad) government Russia has lost its Mediterranean bases.

It is, well it was a nice country. It was the USSC that opened the doors for oligarchs to take control.

The consumer will certainly pay. There are 11 billionaires in the trump administration to be. Not one is driven by an altruistic ideology.

Agree although 9 months there and the same back to visit a place thats the same as the moon seems a stretch.

Agree Agree with a caveat about the dangerous power of creating a monopoly. Not all billionaires are bad. But killing other private competition to create a SpaceX monopoly like Google would not be good. SpaceX is certainly showing NASA, Boeing, Blue Origin, Russia, China and the ESA how its done.

China has now banned the export of key minerals like gallium, germanium and antimony to the US in response to American export bans of high technology items to China. The trade war is now starting to simmer. Oh! wait too bad that China will still export those items to Canada and Mexico. Come January 21 Americans will come to Canada for their prescription drugs and EV batteries.

The west and free markets won the cold war. Putin is nothing more or less than a criminal kleptocrat. He as a temporary alliance with a communist dictator. With a family dictatorship and a Islamic theocracy. Not one of which enjoys domestic popular support. Each of which is propped up by the power of a gun. After trump's second term, American justice will come roaring back and trump will spend the remainder of his life buried in litigation. IMO

He wasn't pursued. He came to the attention of prosecutors who made a deal to let him off, more or less. It was a trump appointed judge that threw the deal out. Thats not to say that a judge wouldn't have given him a light sentence or no jail time. The fact is he admitted to the tax charges which were serious and the gun charge is a felony. Does the law apply to all equally or not? trump's pardons are an obscene exception. If a Black man was prosecuted for the same gun "crime" the president's son should be as well. Using trump's pardons as a example or precedent to justify Biden's actions is sinking to trump's level. The entire concept of the pardons is intended to be centred around making right unfair convictions. US presidents are giving pardons to people they know personally or have had involvements with. All to subvert the concept of all equally before the law.
