So true, its crazy how fast things change, who knows what a few weeks will bring let alone another two months or so.
I do think Trump will lose though, his biggest down fall is he just cant help himself with personal attacks, if he was smart he would focus on her and the democrats past failings like border control and Kamala's past flip flopping on issues or just insane stances or support for things like defund the police etc
The whole World will be different , in 2 months and before the US people , vote in November Indo .
Bloody anything , can happen !
The Economy is the 1 issue and the Fed , may drop interest rates in an Election cycle .
The Deep State has Their Plan, guaranteed .
Unfortunately , Harris was so unpopular , she had 2 B a late minute , inclusion .
Bloody Joe , believed and became a bloody barnacle , removal by a sniff of Amendment 25 , required .
Trump IS smart , but will not Change !
Harris is a very Easy target , he will go hard in the debates .
Trump is an easy target , that's had a Gazillion arrows , already fired at it .
His Skin is Thick and there is nothing else new , 2 aim at .
Water off a Donald ( Duck )s Back , perhaps ?
The debates by the 2 2nd in Commands , will be exactly , the same .
Maybe there won't B an Election , candidates might even change , again .
If any Real Blood is spilt , in this Election Fight , the Sharks will GO CRAZY !
Biden loose it , Live on TV , was Crazy and its getting crazier by the day .
hey you two cultural and political why not meet up here for a mutual back slapping session?

Recapping that our neighbourhood was alarmed by ADF Chopper firing off rounds in our town...
Kidz were screaming & tbb clocked the ADF chopper flying low & south towards Airport!
tbb thought perhaps it was aimed at old WW2 battery...also hinted at trial run for ADF 'River Fire'
Pretty sure tbb & neighbours heard a spray of Shotz & most likely we did...but...Big But!
Yesterday + This w/e Pacific Air Show Fighter Jets loop our City & tbb's town.
With that alarming fact in mind then yes....we likely heard a Spray of Bullets...( All part of the Show! )
Now think they were testing perimeter noise levels & "Recorded Gun Fire" Is now part of the Air Show.
This Goldie / Pacific Air Show is super Team USA Jockular >
Have to expect they're gonna roll out some Shoot'em'up Baddies Explosions!
Possibly some Dog Fights with Blank rounds hitting Props with fake explosions...all know the deal!
Another reason tbb is sharing is that this is also likely the longest GC Beach Closure in fine weather...
4kms of Surfers Paradise Beaches have been partially closed for over a week + all 3 days this w/e.
https://www.facebook.com/cityofgoldcoast/
tbb lives 10kms away and can hear the Indy & recall bunkering down for last year 's Pacific invasion.
Not pleasant to witness yer City being invaded by Friendly fire or any Squadron of War Machines.
Wish it wasn't the case...but these Top Gun Yank War Mongers now boss our City & Qld.
Every town & school gotta build US Weapons & applaud US War Machines exploding in our town!
Just another Aukus explosion on the Highway or at yer local Resort or in yer town...{ KABOOM }
Pray none get killed in Aukus Goldie war games this w/e...live in fear...incoming...hit the dirt!

nope. if he was smart, and had the sort of power and influence he wishes he had, he would act as @wax24 suggested last week. with generosity, magnanimity and integrity, and single handedly drive a shift in US politics from snivelling cowardice, to awkward honesty, dusting off the lefty-righty fuckwaddery. Same as Elon would if he could. They're all just mascots, shadows and wastemen that mean nothing at all.

The problem is MAGA and other apologists only ever watch Fox News, that’s why the ignorance and selective amnesia carries on?
Hey base 6
I stand corrected and really do hope that Trump will take this Smart Path and opportunity .
Having a bullet fizz by your head , will help , perhaps .
Guessing , compared to the past , Trump will B different , more measured .
The MSM , won't report it .
Look what Trump is Up against , Harris ( and Deep State ) his opponent .
The Heavy Weight title , of the World ( according 2 Americans :) .
They are both fighting 4 the Top Job and Trump will be the "Calm One" .
He's been forged under fire .
How will Kamala , When We fight , We Win , go in the Fight ?
Will she B the Calm 1 , or be Flighty , all over the place ( except interviews ) ?
I hope She is good , as she might be President .
"Having a bullet fizz by your head , will help , perhaps ."
- hmmmmm ;)

The ideology of the deep state is neither left or right, the tech giants were backing MAGA , maybe they’re having a rethink.

As crazy as you might think this is, id expect much of Trumps supporters would say he has already done that.
I just think he needs to tone it down a little and play the ball and not the man so much or he wont have any chance.
But who really knows, its all just opinion, i guess we wait and see.
Honestly if i was in the USA right now id feel a bit uneasy on voting either way.
Dont get me wrong i could never vote for the democrats and Kamala seems very left wing, but id still feel uneasy about voting for Trump, sure id get some short term satisfaction on him ruffling feathers and sending the left into melt down again.
But right now if i was able to vote in the USA it would be all about who is going to be best for Israel's future, and on one hand while Trump might seem the obvious choice, i also dont trust him, he is too irrational and only cares about himself, if he clashes with Bibi he could just throw Israel under the bus.
While Kamala is going to be problematic for Israel, hopefully things wont change too much from Biden's position, not ideal but still supportive in some way, just the recent approval of 20 billion in military aid, helped ease my concern about Kamala getting elected.
But yeah i guess if i was an American and voting id be voting on other issues in my country like border control or the economy too.
- "he is too irrational and only cares about himself" ;)
^ you're looking in the mirror el gerbil
...hahaha & don't upset bibi ;);)

If you look at all the people he’s disrespected and insulted over the years, he shouldn’t have any credibility at all.
A lot of normal people in the US and around the world, can’t understand why he’s still there at all ?
The reason he’s not acting with generosity, magnanimity and integrity, is because he knows he’s going to jail if he loses, and is in panic mode, lashing out at anyone he can.
Funny that , the US economy is looking up now , but MAGA doesn’t think the economy is that important anymore.
That’s the sort of Disneyland garbage , they’re dealing with.

Actually its just called being a politician.
@ Spykan What the military vets he just insulted by saying their Congressional Medal of Honour , for being injured or killed in the line of duty, was less important than his civilian medal of freedom he gives to large donors to his party,
Because the veterans receiving the Congressional medal of honour were full of bullets or dead , and the fat cat’s receiving his medal were healthy, beautiful people.
What part of irrational news conferences don’t you get?
@ Indo except the 73000 who just registered for the “ Republicans for Harris “online rally recently. Maybe some of them have integrity in the Republicans.

Just got back from the show..awesome stuff. fa18s were epic. Raptors were amazing. Acrobatic planes superb. The big boys low and slow. Osprey just awesome engineering.
A fantastic day and so many people out enjoying the show.
Can’t please everyone. 95% of the locals love the vibe and the show. Kids were loving it…when not digging in the sand and making sandcastles.
Sounds great Roady, what old warbirds did they have? & Raptor as in F22?

Yep, F22s all the way from Hawaii.
Couple of Yaks, Mustang couple of others I wasn’t sure about. More modern stuff than warbirds today.
The Matthew Perry case looking like it was lifted from the pages of a Michael Connelly or James Ellroy novel, an episode of Ray Donovan. Although even the latter might have been unable to clean this one up. What a fucked up joint. Truth is as strange as pulp fiction. Do feel kinda sorry for the assistant though. Probably thinks he deserves the Medal of Freedom instead of 15yrs in a federal penitentiary for putting up with the dude for 30yrs. That it was thanks to him that the dude was able to make it as far as he did. I’d imagine PAs all over Hollywood crossing themselves and thinking there but for the grace of God, praying that the details of their own master/servant relationships remain forever off the record, on the QT and very hush hush.

getting a bit like a boss there juliang...

love to know these mysterious hysterical sources you think are all knowledgeable and authoritive...
Like everyone he has insulted deserved it right, don’t worry about that one
Try finding his news conferences
kamala's campaign is dodgy as fuck
manufacturing consent...
purchasing consent
influencers, ads, activists
sadly, it seems to be working...
such is the appetite for something other than orange

Syp, love your use of the word "dodgy" there. You guys can't know this, but i refer to you all, when talking about SwellNetVille to my peeps, as my "Dodgy Mates." (said with affection)
Try MSNBC Trump insults veterans yet again on YouTube,
No actually I have a much bigger reference list, but I don’t know how to post them yet, because I haven’t been on social media that long, my mistake, just assumed it would have been general knowledge!

I imagine they have more than likely imported enough for a win...
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/12/us/immigration-us-citizenship-rates.html
Harris dropping interventionist policies in the food, housing and drug markets. Who knows whether these policies would ever be legislated? Probably not. Except for no tax on tips. That one could be a starter. Cos of bipartisan populism. But all in all, a very pro-deplorable policy frame work from Harris, at least pro-deplorable rhetoric. Heretical, surely, if you’re a believer in Hillarian orthodoxy. More Trumpian really, Kamala, than Clintonian. Communistic price controls cry the bedraggled leftover Reaganites. But more empirical evidence of the effectiveness of change agent Trump. He’s turning the Democratic ship around. Slowly. Another four years of The Donald smashing the system, Democrats taking notes, then it might really be Time for Her Moment.

Hey Jul...... just my thoughts, but i prefer only a small amount of links. I believe i am greatly in the minority on this anymore, but, while links can serve well to provide clarity or just cogent info, they are, in practice, most used by posters who have built walls around their narratives. They are deployed as Hashtag Grenades. Ya watch while opposing posters lobs their grenades over their walls.
I'd rather converse.
Yes good point, I don’t actually read or view many links anyway, too time consuming.
It’s not that hard to google or look up YouTube yourself if you want to.
@ Spykan sorry I couldn’t be bothered reading your links, but I stopped counting at 10 videos of “Trump insults veterans again “ on YouTube, it wasn’t that hard
So there’s 10 mysterious, hysterical , sources you can check . Looks like you’re having trouble finding a source which disputes it or explains it away as a “ conspiracy theory “

Cheers, the modern stuff is amazing too, think I love the Harrier best of all. This is for plane fans, and all those young at heart:
are you a veteran juliang?
cos you got a real bee in ya bonnet about the latest innocuous throw away comment trump drama...
I don't dispute it happened, but the fact msnbc are stoking it, and I haven't seen anywhere else, tells me all I need to know...
see that's how links work... you don't have to read them... it just tells you who, is saying what... and therefore... whether it is important or not...
thats why I threw the new york times link in there... because six months ago, it was 'conspiracy' that the migrant invasion was stacking votes for dems... (at the nyt at least...) ...and now, here they are, praising the fast processing of migrants, and celebrating how this changes the very voting make up of critical swing states...
'conspiracy'
sigh...
anyway, my point about links was more about you claiming numerous outlets are stoking the project 2025 thingy...
who? when why?
I know who...
they been flogging that same (misleading) propaganda point for six months... msnbc, ABC, CNN, nyt, etc...
I was just genuinely curious why you though it so important all of a sudden
anyway, carry on...
I don't really care if you read my links or not
you're bubble seems rather comforting...
It’s not that innocuous.
Pretty revealing tbh. Veterans aside, it really highlights lack of equivalence in his mind between service to country, community whatever (emergency services, teachers, military) and service to himself.
I think it’s another misstep. And pretty damaging to the Trump / Vance attack line against Walz.
like @andy-mac said last week, there will always be those that divide to get power, and those that seek power to attempt to bring people together. All are megalomaniacs, always a given, but today's politics favours the former approach, where a meme in someone's pocket can trigger righteous online indignation from virtually every potential voter. I really don't think people can change in this regard.
The days where leaders battled ideas via open-letters to impartial weekly newspapers must have been really, really fun and engaging by comparison.
