Eta , Immigration Policy is ONE that Trump is the Opposite of Harris .

Harris doesn't want to Clean any Swamp , Trump does .

Trump wants to build up US Industry , including Fossil Fuels .

Protectionism !

Reliance on China changed , Vietnam won most of the business , that could not be moved 2 the US .

A good idea , if U plan on Fighting China ( Deep States Plan ) .

Please tell me , where ANY are Insane and we can chat about them .

Eta

U do like going round and round .

Trump has been President , has always been Outspoken and able 2 state His Policies .

As many were implemented , the costs are known , like how much Tariffs and the Wall cost the USA and what benefit , they provided , maybe .

As we know , Treasury loves more people .

The numbers are somewhere haha .

Billions do go missing eg Pentagon !

Same with Harris/ Biden's Policies , but they are more recent , so still working through the system .

Trump has NO new Major policies .

Neither do the Democrats .

You said Trumps policies are Insane or useless .

What about Cleaning the Swamp ?

Trump Syndrome only sees the Personality , the tyrant , boof head ,and killer of democracy .

The Boogie Man in a Muppet movie .

Maybe when U find a Trump policy U don't like , U can let US all know ?

Hello Roady

I probably make up , stuff about Trump , as have never followed him before .

Most of my sources are financial related , so Trump only recently , became a major Player .

I watched , studied even , Yes Minister and Prime Minister , but NO expert , on anything , really .

Guys like U , Eta and Adam 12 , know him , better than I do .

I did watch him play golf with Bryson DeChamp , in a quite recent Tube clip . Had watched Bryson with John Daley , they try and break 50 , from the Red Tees .

I think U get 2 see a lot about someone , by watching them play golf .

Trump has said his H/C is 2.6 lol , BS !

Was thinking , not 1 Trump shot would B used , unlike a Barefooted Daly and the score would B average , due to Trump .

Trump was SO full of himself and blamed anything but himself , 4 any mistake .

Trump wanted THEIR score , 2 B the best .

Trump was bloody amazing and can play golf , say a 10 h/c , but played Out of his skin .

One hole , only used Trump shots , birdie on a par 4 .

By some force of Trump Nature , Byron sunk a 40 ft putt and they scored 50 !

Was the Equal best Score achieved , better than Bryson and Garcia .

The game was recent and Trump looks like he can Play , 4 a while yet .

Daly had a good set up , at His course .

His cart had a front boot , full of Ice cold beers .

Trump owns the best course in the World , in Ireland .

So won't hang around Washington , 4 long .

Won't linger like an Obama or a Clinton .

Just made that up :) !

Hello Roady again .

I have mentioned Zerohedge on SN , a few times 4 financial news and views .

Worked in the financial markets 4 30 years , so have followed guys like Buffett , Rogers and Gartman .

Been to a gazillion company presentations and read the same amount , of Broker reports .

I gaze around a lot and chat to people .

What did you do in the financial markets, for 30 years.

Unwinding of the yen carry trade has contributed to a few interesting weeks, don’t you think? Long or short for the yen going forward? Easy to see why buffet has been focusing on Japanese investments lately. He was a year or 2 advanced from many.

The Trump/Musk interview was/is 2 hrs, the 8hr one was just a Elon only one with an interviewer. (still havent bothered to listen to any of that one)

In all honesty though the Trump/Elon one wasnt anything special, Just Trump saying what you would expect him to say and Musk just agreeing with him, it wasn't bad but it wasn't that great either, just exactly what you would expect.

Its interesting how abortion is such a big issue in the USA, i think in places like Australia most of us have more moderate views and think it should be legal, and more just disagree on cut off dates or how easy it should be to access. (meaning not just seen as a form of contraception, most women that have had to do it once would never want to do it again though)

Saw this today and was surprised at how high Abortion ranked and how low crime came in.

Not sure if it was a phone poll or online though, but cant be just Fox viewer's as if so how would guns come in lower than climate change?

This doesn’t surprise me at all considering there are those who actively want abortion bans. US citizens value their freedoms highly. So when someone wants to take their abortion freedom away they will see it as a big deal. And it is a big deal.

Anyone , but Trump .

Seems like JFK doesn't agree and may join forces , as doesn't want to take votes from Trump .

I was looking at the odds the other day and the history of the odds, im not a betting man, but if you had put some money on Kamala a few months ago you would be doing pretty good, and in a strange way its all quite predictable even when Biden was elected most thought Kamala would take over.

"indo-dreaming, in a strange way its all quite predictable even when Biden was elected most thought Kamala would take over"

The word from inside the Democrats was they would push Harris sideways as it was believed a black women would never get elected.

That was a couple of months or weeks before Biden stepped aside.

Once Biden stepped aside Harris out manoved them and got momentum and surprisingly here we are she has a chance still it's a long way from Nov.

Thought his cheese and kisses’s address was better. They are both great orators. And she’s the ultimate American success story. Her ancestry is fascinating.

Wonder if Michelle will have a go in 2028. Not too late for her to ‘Do Something !’ I think she’d be pretty short odds to get up. Guess that assumes The Donald winning in 24 tho.

You can still get on Michelle for 2024. She’s paying $151, ahead of JFK jnr and Hillary both !

But the big question is, did she just rip off John Kennedy’s stirring 1975 Grand Final half time speech ? Rank plagiarism, akin to Biden’s appropriation of Neil Kinnock’s working class credentials. I think it’s best to be charitable and accept that she’s always been a big Hawthorn gal, that she thinks Kanga is the one true and iconic John Kennedy, and that she’s a longtime student of the great coach’s famous pre-game and half time harrangues.

Do Something !

Trump may appoint RFK AG , if he becomes President .

Perhaps RFK can convince a few people , Trump will not turn into a Dictator , if elected a 2nd time .

RFK has only been taking votes from Trump, but not many from Harris / Walz. But not all RFK voters will switch to Trump, if that makes sense.

I can’t see RFK ‘Dems’ holding their nose and voting for a Trump / Vance.

What the GOP lack going into this election is a Rep ‘centrist’ (like Pence was in 2016) to bring in the Reagan Republicans.

Tulsi ain’t going to bring it.

You are probably right again , Etarip .

Trump won an Election , from the Outside , a bit like Reagan .

This time , with Tulsi and RFK supporting him , more Democrat voters , will vote 4 Trump .

How many and where , is yet 2B decided .

The role of AG , is much more important , than VP .

Even Harris will agree , don't judge a VP , on the Job , they do .

Pence was a nobody , while Trump was being repeatedly Impeached .

Trump is much more Prepared this time .

He is locked and loaded , with much more ammunition , This Time imho .

The Job's report was a Shocker !!!

The Economy , perhaps , is Already in Recession or Definitely headed in2 1 imho .

Two very polished performers , that sure know Their lines ( on the telly 2 ) .

Looks like they have been doing The Show , 4 a longtime .

Both abused Trump , called him racist , women hater , lier , Tyrant etc , the usual stuff .

Mentioned Trump a lot , but nearly forgot about Kamala .

Barack now thinks he is a Comedian .

Trying a Dick joke , that sure got the hands going , at the conference !

Barack used to give important speeches and did a great job at delivering them .

He now gets a laugh , with vulgar jokes and seems old .

Seems 2 have forgotten that after 8 years of him , half of the US wanted Trump , to change things .

Mrs Obama looked fresh as a daisy and up 4 a fight .

She would give Trump are hard debate , why is she not running ?

Thanks Jelly .

Sabrina asked a question and Whitney sure nailed the Answer , with full explanation and more .

Kamala can't change the mind of the Security State and be nice to the Palestinians .

What she says ie Promises is just rhetoric and won't B delivered .

As Whitney said , even Organised Crime is involved , in the War Games .

Amazing that both JFK and RFK were fighting what APAC , used 2B ( whoever they are ) .

Dick Chaney was the Modern Neocon Model .

Victoria Nuland , the current model , but retired 4 a fresh look .

I am more worried about the NEO CON Religion , than Christianity .

The Security State wasn't protecting Trump , that well .

As he wants to Clean them Up , ie give them a coathanger , I am not surprised , unfortunately .

Maybe Trump can achieve , what Deep State doesn't want 2 happen ?

Stop the Middle East and Europe , being used 4 War Games , quickly !

Europe is the worry , Nuke City and traditional Neocon killing fields , Russians live there 2 .
