It stops when Trump croaks and all his enablers fall out with each other and they cannot find anyone to coalesce around....they fight like rats in a sack and eat each other until there's no one credible left.
This is how populism always ends.
:thumbsup:

As usual, a laughing emoji from @spence , the f'king moron
I put the bloke on ignore a few years ago.
He was once semi sensible, then turned into an arse-hat.
Did he have a stroke or has he simply become dependent on drink?
All very sad....never mind :shrug:

I'm never quite sure if he and some of the other contrairians are just doing it for fun ? Almost like the Classic Python " Argument " sketch.

It would appear US Aid wasn’t solely being directed to the starving…………I suspect their are wealthy lawyers in this country shitting the bed should the foreign aid budget get similarly drained.


Whether you like or loathe Trump shining a light on wasteful expenditure of US taxpayer dollars is a good thing. Bravo.
Did you actually read the article??! It clearly contradicts your opening sentence.....

And why is it wasteful?

Do you not believe diversity, equity and inclusion are good things?

Is it LGBTQI people you don't want to claim asylum - or all migrants?

My worst Super Bowl this year simply because Trump is sitting in the New Orleans Saints owner's box.

American Football is just rugby for wooses anyway. I like to try new sports, but I just don't get it. I think I read that each team uses 53 players ! I wonder if Trump understands it.

Pads or not, they take some crazy big hits. I’m not sure I’d describe it as “just rugby for wooses” look at top international players like Rees-Zammit who tried to crossover and failed miserably.

I think it will probably overtake Rugby from a fan base perspective in the 5-10 years and it’s predominantly played in one country.

It will never touch real football though!

Not exactly a landslide. Was interesting to see him getting jeered at the Superbowl.

Anyhow, we’ve four more years before he’s gone.

That doesn't mean it was the "right" choice. You really think I don't know I live in a deep red state? Only this part of the state is pretty purple and not so deep red.

'Please pay attention': J.D. Vance's statement after big court loss alarms legal experts​


Vice President J.D. Vance signaled that President Donald Trump's administration is poised to ignore a judicial ruling, according to experts.

Raw Story reported on Saturday that legal analysts looking at Elon Musk's social media activity predicted that he would at least consider denying a major court order that limited his access to Treasury Department data.

The next day, Vance seemed to indicate that same plan, according to attorneys. The V.P. said in part, "Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power."

This led to the Co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, Elizabeth Goitein, saying, "The Trump administration seems to be gearing up to defy a court order, with JD Vance tweeting this morning: 'Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.'"



This is what happens when you elect a criminal as President.

Here you go. Now you can actually read it and comment knowledgably on its contents, eh?


Thanks for that, the headline tells me that it isn't going to be a balanced article about government spending though.

So i don't think I'll bother.

I've just noticed by your avatar that you define yourself by your love of Trump. Is your love and admiration for him really that central to your existence? If it is that's actually rather sad.

Have you perhaps considered writing to him and asking him to send you a piece of his obviously soiled underwear?

Or have you already done that and it's already lying on your pillow next to you while you take comfort in its pungent aroma.

Don’t be obtuse, as a political principle the US taxpayer through whatever US Governmental mechanism should not be underwriting asylum claims for foreigners in a foreign country and certainly not politically inspired events.

No doubt this is great for the Charities that process the funding and legal profession and other organisations that can access this particular trough.

Apart from the anti trump zealots that can’t process any matters fairly I suspect even Democrats were rolling their eyes at this one. Politically it confirms Trump was right and there is a swamp to drain.

It doesn’t mean he is absolved of anything else, however on this matter he should be applauded. We need the same scrutiny on DFID spend here, I bet we’re funding some similar BS overseas too.

When they started showing gridiron on channel 4 back in the 80s they were saying then that it will be more popular than rugby in 5 to 10 years….its not ,and for one big reason it’s shit to watch, but also you can’t just go and play it with a few mates.

BBC says mostly cheered?

As does the independent?

While Swift was getting a negative reaction from the crowd, the opposite happened when Donald Trump also appeared on the jumbotron, with sections of the crowd breaking into cheers.

Like it or not he's popular there, seems to be getting more popular as well.
