Brilliant @basesix. It definitely has the trademarks of a culture war/divide orchestrated by the orange man.(and rogan haha)

In other news, the US PMI risen as Trump got into the office/won the election. I don’t think it has anything to do with his efforts but hey, he’ll probably claim it at some point. This is a key metric to track and judge if his ‘made in the us’ strategy works.

Im sure Hiccup would disagree with this.

Wow @base,
that was a great post
That lurgie you brought back from that dirty city hasn't impacted your lucidity.
I tried warning you about that place, that's one of the reasons I call it the "dirty city".
But there are others, darker, more sinister..
It's a dangerous place for a young buck filled with unbridled enthusiasm like you @Base.
Trust me, I have the scars, I have the receipts, I made it out by the skin of my balls.
I still wake in fright.
Next time you see those bright lights calling your name, do yourself a favour and let me know you are coming and I'll ride shotgun for you., or set you up with some back up. You need an experienced gunslinger watching your back if you want to take that dirty city on.
You were lucky this time to get out with just a scratch. Trust me.
Now regarding your post.
I hear ya.
But there are plenty of "broken" ones who don't go that way, fortunately.
Some people are just cunts, any excuse will do.
Thank God that's not us though @Base.
Keep on rockin'.

Shouldn't you be defending JFK Jr's hilarious back peddling and lying the other day, or maybe caping for Trump's great new ethnic cleansing plan?
if someone robs a bank
someone tells you who robbed the bank
you catch who robbed the bank
are you angry at the person that robbed the bank or the person that told you you were being robbed?

Elon is doing great work. I can’t understand why anyone would be upset with him catching lying, thieving fuckwits.

we'll catch up soon, I reckon @adam12.. @AW's employed me as labourer to stir your paint and keep your brush clean. hoping it's not a euphemism, with @AW, you never know..

Sounds good @Base
Always do with a brush hand.
I lost my pimp hand a while back, still looking for it.
One thing though, did he mention "Nude Day"?
He probably should have mentioned it.

That’s a win. It needs to be world wide and in every sport/school/competition etc etc
haha, no @a12, but I have met a couple of his ex-apprentices that have said with a shudder 'if he calls you in for the day, cos he wants you to hold his tongue and groove while he drills, go surfing instead..' : /

burl’s will let the sexual assault slide, because you know, RFK is a good guy in burl’s eyes and good guys are allowed to assault women.

ha!
Nah, it's cool, nothing to worry about.
Nothing gay or anything.
Just a bunch of guys, nude, working on power tools.
Maybe we rub on some body oil.
But there's this amazing feeling of freedom and release that comes with grinding something or cut and rolling a wall while you're just there...flapping about free as a bird...nuts in the wind.
I think you'll get into it.
After lunch we usually take a break, maybe lift some weights, do a bit of Greco Roman wrestling, maybe watch a vid. Do you like Gladiator movies @Base?
Nude day is always a fun day at work on the tools.
I'm sure you are gonna love it.
^ I don't think many would disagree @flollo et al. but hopefully ALL see the dog and pony show they staged for the grand signing for what it is.
(haha @adam12.. that message you sent to @Supa re bolthole was a gas, nice we're all in good humour here. makes for good ripple effects, like @southern said)
It’s all propaganda mate.

Burls will let anything slide as long as his hero Trump is involved. He probably wouldn't even care if a billionaire swanned about with the entire country's tax and other assorted personal information, despite being a run of the mill cooker who would in other other circumstance lose what he has of a mind. Probably roots the exhaust pipe of every Tesla he sees.

What on earth are you on about?
Palestine/Gaza obviously doesn't want USA to take the land, i 100% agree. But if Trump holds all the cards to re-build what options do they have?
It can't stay rubble and i would imagine it's 100% not safe for any outside construction companies to re-build with Hamas hanging around.
Trump inherited this mess. What are his options?

How can you see Gaza being re-built?

We need something like this here in AUS.
