O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[Med Pie]

We'll have to agree to disagree (once again), but it seems more likely to me that the Biden family have been involved in corrupt practices during Joe's tenure than Trump employing a corrupt special prosecutor to frame the Biden family and unlawfully imprison them. In effect, Biden's preemptive pardons protect against both outcomes, so who knows.

The whole system is ludicrous quite frankly.

Yeah the pardon system is mental.

Cashing in on the inauguration by pumping and dumping an official presidential ****coin is hilarious and completely on brand.

"We're going to expand our territory" was worrying.

Muskollini's 'awkward gesture' was, also worrying, or just an incredibly powerful billionaire autist having fun and saying **** you I'm untouchable now, which is also worrying.

All in all a great few days of entertainment and the birth of some tremendous memes.

LOL is an overused acronym, but when I read last night about the name change to the Gulf of Mexico I did actually LOL 😂

It used to be alcohol and drugs but autism seems to be the new go-to to excuse otherwise unacceptable behaviour. ‘The defendant deeply regrets his actions m’lud but he only sent all those trans***uals to the death camp because he has very sadly suffered from undiagnosed adhd since the age of 5’.

It's a pretty serious thing about the Gulf of America. Those who live there, on the US side, seem to be very much in favour of it. It's up to the US what they call it. The rest can call it what they want.

I'm sure there's a few on here that refuse to call the Falkland Islands, the Falkland Islands.

Regardless of which side of the fence you are on, on climate change, it makes a mockery of the UK government, forcing painful changes on it's population for their miniscule, carbon footprint, compared to America, China, India, Brazil and others.

Boy, a voice of reason.

I find it so humorous all of those that slag off Trump for 'drill baby drill' and hypothesising about his relationship with Putin, when they probably have 100% of their products in their homes and clothes that they wear, made in either China or India.

China and India are buying all the cheap Russian oil and churning out consumer products in their smoking factories. China is also the biggest manufacturer of electric cars.

So not only are those people helping to destroy the planet, but they're funding Putin's campaign in Ukraine - oh the irony!

Biden's attitude is that he has to break the law to prevent Trump from possibly breaking the law - the left have lapped this policy up. Biden is only doing it to protect his inner circle. He couldn't give a toss about anyone else.

There's a new audio piece come out where Speaker Mike Johnson was talking to Biden a few months ago about Biden signing an act banning the exportation of LNG to Europe. Many in Congress saw this as a win for Putin. Johnson said that it was negatively impacting business in his region.

Biden retorted saying that he hadn't signed a ban (signed 3 weeks earlier) and was completely unaware of signing any Presidential order with regards to Liquified Natural Gas. How many more orders did he 'sign' that he was unaware of?

This is what needs to be discussed and investigated not rumours about what Trump might or might not do. However, it's too uncomfortable for some to discuss this, because it shows that the person they have been blindly backing for months, was unfit to serve and had probably threatened world peace.

You lose ALL credibility when you make up childish names.

Good post. BFP has now resorted to arguing what Trump said he would do in 2016, but didn't do, as proof for Biden setting a precedent in pardoning his cronies in 2025.

My word, talk about drawing a long bow.

Perhaps now he is POTUS we need a thread of Trumpisms.

For example:

Barcelona. US President Donald Trump has apparently confused Spain for a member of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, causing some head-scratching and jitters over possible tariffs in Madrid.

Spain is not in BRICS, whose initials stand for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Spain is a member of NATO, along with the US, and of the European Union.

Trump erroneously said Spain was in BRICS when a journalist asked him about NATO countries like Spain which don’t meet the NATO minimum of spending 2 percent of economic output on defense. Spain ranked last in the 32-nation military alliance, estimated to spend 1.28 percent on defense last year.

Trump started his answer by saying “Spain is very low,” referring to its defense expenditures, but quickly veered into speaking about the BRICS.

“They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. Do you know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out,” he told the reporter from the presidential desk in the Oval Office.

Trump's roughly 700-word executive order, issued late Monday, amounts to a fulfillment of something he's talked about during the presidential campaign. But whether it succeeds is far from certain amid what is likely to be a lengthy legal battle over the president's immigration policies and a constitutional right to citizenship.

The Democratic attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates say the question of birthright citizenship is settled law and that while presidents have broad authority, they are not kings.

“The president cannot, with a stroke of a pen, write the 14th Amendment out of existence, period,” New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin said.

The White House said it's ready to face the states in court and called the lawsuits “nothing more than an extension of the Left's resistance."

“Radical Leftists can either choose to swim against the tide and reject the overwhelming will of the people, or they can get on board and work with President Trump," White House deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, a US citizen by birthright and the nation’s first Chinese American elected attorney general, said the lawsuit was personal for him.

“The 14th Amendment says what it means, and it means what it says -- if you are born on American soil, you are an American. Period. Full stop,” he said.

Interesting battles going to happen before he even hits Panama and Greenland.

The Americans aren't the best with geography.

We were talking to a gentleman in Florida recently and he asked us where we were from. We said New Zealand and he said, 'is that near Ukraine?'

He then proceeded to tell us that the US and the world had missed out on possibly the next great leader because Harris had been defeated in the election.

They move all around us.

I suppose we had more than a few Brits wondering why the Argentinians were taking over an island north of Scotland.

To be honest, I don't think anybody had heard of the Falklands prior to President Galtieri and his band of merry men occupying the islands. In fact, me personally, I'd heard more about South Georgia because of doing history work on Shackleton, than anything else.

This is one of those things where you need to understand a bit of nuance.

If the world stopped consuming Russian oil tomorrow the global economy would pitch straight into a depression. The long term solution? Electric cars - regardless of who makes them.

As to people buying consumer goods from China and India, list their other options please?
