Hey Basey…..
i hear ya, mate.
Sadly, i hear ya.

I don’t know that the toothpaste can be put back in the tube. It’s out and clogging up the drains.

I have said this before, tho, elsewhere and here and Beloved SwellNetVille (where all are given second and third and fourth and gawd knows? umpteen chances to stop bein punters and ruffians… and still manage it… and still find Part-Of-Ness)….

I don’t give up til it’s mathematically impossible.

And tell me how anyone could measure THAT for THIS.

Nope. Tmro the sun rises, without opinion or concern.

I’ll rise with it. Without concern, but with opinion.

That opinion? Hope.

Well it did happen on lots of other sources apart from MSnbc , right next to the msnbc version, if you didn’t notice that you need to look better.
If you think that that’s acceptable behaviour from a presidential candidate, and not worth mentioning, read some of the thousands of comments from veterans and their relatives and normal people

Biden seems still Up 4 a fight and urged supporters 2 " beat the Hell out of Republicans ".

As Joe is speaking on Monday of the Upcoming Conference ( the main hitters are on Thursday ) , the Democrats really don't think he can fight his way out of a wet paper bag ) .

Harris had given him such a heartfelt introduction , Joe felt ready to Don the Gloves and get in a ring ( or Optigone ) .

The Turkish Parliament must have taken Biden's words literally , what a Brawl .

Harris doesn't like a Physical confrontation , it seems .

She has waited way 2 Long , 2 give a "Real" Interview .

Looks like she is NOT yet ready , to fight .

Lets C if she can find some authenticity , Talk 2 someone and let US know , what SHE thinks .

Trumps sentencing is on the 18th September .

He might be fighting , from Jail ?

I was reading somewhere that he probably won’t go to jail before the election, because he’ll automatically appeal it .
But a lot of incriminating evidence will come up about the insurrection before the vote.

I can't help thinking how sad it is that so many otherwise quite good people are so unhappy with their lives that they would vote for a piece of human garbage like Trump. I guess if I were on the bones of my arse living on food stamps in a trailer park I too would be desperate enough to be brainwashed into his sick cult. What's with the fake tan and those ice addict eyes.
If Trump and Kim Jon Un were world leaders in a b grade apocalypse movie you would think they were over the top and unbelievable.
If he gets in hold on tight, the world is in for a roller coaster ride of a lifetime, start building that bunker now.
Btw this is just my opinion, which I like to think I'm entitled to. Cheers.

A LOT of incriminating Evidence about the Insurrection , is STILL coming out !

I really hope , they DO really work out the TRUTH of what happened , on that day !

As the trial is in NY , we know the Outcome !

They do vote. WTAF are you taking about?
Military generally conservative leaning, but I’d say as a general rule less party defined than Australia. They’re just people, drawn from across US society and reflect that societal spread. From my experience with both Australian and US militaries, I’d say the balance is actually greater in the US. At least in the rank and file.

Fuck I love the flip on this - when MAGAs and their idiot antipodean clones think that ‘the military’ is going to back Trump at the polls they’re *patriots* but if they think that they’re going to back anyone but Trump they’re *deep state*

Fucking moronic take.

Hey Eta

Was just , trying 2 , make a point that Trump has most of the Military , behind him .

I didn't use the term "Patriots " .

I did say Deep State , or the Swamp , is behind Harris .

I tried 2 say , Trump would have more concern 4 their lives , than Deep State .

But , that's not hard .

Perhaps U think Deep State doesn't exist , that it's a" moronic take" , on the State of the USA ?

Or , if It exists , that they are nicely independent .

Two issues here:
First, I’m not sure that he does have the majority of the US military behind him. ‘Reagan / Eisenhower’ Republicans loathe DJT.
Second, I’m sure that DJT gives zero fucks about anyone in uniform or their families.
Actually, three issues - define ‘the Swamp’ in terms of anything other than reflexive opposition to Trump?

Hey ETA

You are right on 2 , not sure about 1. either .

Thirdly , The Swamp , which really is Deep State ( like the Evil Empire , with no single person running it , maybe ? ).

Orwell stuff .

I have Never lived or worked in a Swamp .

The Clip above , might B worth a view .

I SURE know the USA has a HUGE Swamp , the Stink over the last 8 years has been horrendous .

Politicians from Both sides , live in it and Love it .

Huge Money , in the Swamp .

The most important institutions , Judiciary , Secret Service , Media etc , are influenced , by the Swamp .

Deep State , like a Public Service , doesn't care , if it's a Democrat or a Republican , that's President .

As long as their Views , are OK , there ARE Independent ( under the radar ) .

Trump wanted 2 Clean the Swamp and it needs cleaning .

It will then take the likes of Tulsi , Years to keep cleaning .

The Swamp is after Trump , anyone but Trump !

I hate the Swamp !

If the Swamp was just in America , I wouldn't care that much .

Australia is so , connected 2 the US , now .

I don't want a Deep State telling US ,our PM or OUR government , what 2 do .

left versus right is now a massive misnomer...

especially if considering the so called deep state...

politics are now the anti-establishment versus the establishment

you yourself mentioned the republicans for harris...

google the lincoln project, republican anti- trumpers, liz cheney, and you might get a glimpse of what is actually happening...

woke neoliberals versus the dirtbag left

open borders left versus Bernie bros.

koch bros. conservatives versus trump's 'right' alliance

globalists versus nativists

the deep state is the status quo

the bush bush legacy plus clinton / obama's versus trump

it's not that long ago bush 1 & 11 felt the constant ire of 'the left', much like trump does today...

now team bush and team clinton/obama hang out like besties...

and trump is the devil

something I find personally perplexing and ironic, when one considers the bush record, and unhinged demonising of the bushes in the past...

he's a threat alright...

to established power structures and norms

Advancement of portable Civic Radar draws warfare into city populace.
It's no accident that each night we see more cities of innocents being slaughtered.
Govts tick Warmongers to embedded Bomb components & now defence radar within our communities.
Everyone boarding a Bus or Tram even crossing a bridge are now 'Legitimate' targets.

Ok! This took some time to suss why complete innocents in Gaza / Ukraine / Russia are being targeted...
It came by the way of a slip of the tongue by a US / Euro Institute...
Centre for European Policy Analysis (Based in Washington)
17th June 2024 "Ukraine's Nuclear Folly"
(CEPA) : "The Kremlin has not directly targeted these sites, presumably because of the political fallout and uncertainty surrounding the spillover damage to Russia that might result. However, Ukraine's Nuclear Plants depend on Power from external sources to remain operational, and in the event of loss of such power, would be forced to shut down!"

Ok! So if not Russia...then Who the Fuck keeps shooting at Nuke Plants

Zaporizhzhia Nuke Plant Ukraine has being targeted endless times & been hit 14x
Kurchatov Nuke Plant Russia has been hit 6x
Both are currently being targeted by Ukraine as many now openly admit...well durr!
IAEA have personally witnessed Attacks while they're inspecting & aware of recent Ukraine attacks!
They invite Russia to hand back the Plant if they want Ukraine to stop shelling the Nuke Plants

Sounds insane don't it...(Come back to the reason in a second!)
Stealing back a Nuke plant that ya Build & Run is Evil but blowing it up is cool!
All know Ukraine blow up Nuke Plants each month but blame Russia even if it's their's or not!
Can blow up Gas Lines / Bridges / Dams / Nukes you can choose if ya like!
Often are connected & one of the same missions...this goes with that, either either will do...not fussy!

US are horrified at Ukraine's use of their weapons to intently target & slaughter Russian innocents.
tbb has read about many & it's horrific...but there is a contorted twisted theme as to why..
Look, no one's saying Russia don't do the same as we see exact same innocent slaughter on the News!
tbb is least defending nor excusing either...
Being honest...tbb read some comments on this...fucking blow you away!
Be surprised how many nutters say it's fine to blow up Russian Nuke Plant...not joking...Kill Kill Kill!

So who has been targeted in Russia...
Drivers of Tams/Buses/ Baker-Farm Vans + Monk Monastery / Bus Stop + Old lady in an apartment.
All fucking blasted away not by gunfire but drones & Missiles...see ya later Mother Fucker...Gulp!
Putin says Neo Nazis slaughtering his innocents + Huge anti Nazi War Commemoration in Kursk soon!

How to explain Ukraine's bombing of Border Bridges / Euro Gas Meter Station / March on Nuke Plant.
Russians are battling to hold out Ukraine storming their Kurchatov Nuke Plant...don't do it!

Many point to EU giving Ukraine Weapons then turn the other cheek to steal their Gas...
All know Ukraine are pissed having to buy $600m 10 yr old Russian Nuke Reactors from Bulgaria.
So wot choice if ya can't breach sanctions...Huh!
All feel Ukraine are bombing Kursk Gas lines & Nukes to fuck them all off & re open their shut lines!
Steal everyone's Gas lights match ...Fuck you all!
Many would support that also.

Ukraine leader says he wants Russian Nuke Plant & Gas Meters ( Swap ) Zaporizhzhia Nuke + Kharkiv.

tbb bought into all of that...all checks out why EU / US swear their not backing this murderous sabotage.

Here's the thing...the Ukraine Leader says it's only temporary...but Russia says fuck his negotiation?

Pause...so much checks out but none play out to the end game...

What would drive Ukraine to launch gang buster raids blow the joint apart then fuck off...why do that?
News says it's only making Russia go harder to take more Territory...not slowing down..

Now! All see news of both peoples saying the forgot about us on these frontlines...Huh! Wotz with that!
Why do both Leaders abort their own residents on both frontlines...none of this rings true!

Only answer is both sides know exactly what the other side is doing & letting them do it...(Correct!)
Maybe coz both sides know it's a quick in/out sorry 'bout the dead bodies see ya next week!
Coz Ukraine have their hands on some Vital EU/Russian Power Utilities & can now trade up! So...

So wotz the bigger picture here...
Here it is...wot tbb was referring to at the start...
Bordertown's Pleasantville Mobile Radar is winning Putin's War & clocking Ukraine's every move.
Ya see all these toy town Trams & Bread vans are one giant mobile radar...that spies on the neighbour!
Wotz new in Radar...(Reads 200km triangulation sweep with 3 of these tiny receivers on anything.)
https://www.saab.com/markets/norway/editorial-articles/silent-guardians-...

UK is providing Sub Drones to blow up Gas Lines / Dams / Bridges + Particle Sat' Radar detectors.
NATO are trialling All these toys in this war...like a candy store for Buyers & sellers! Yeah! Sick alright!

So! Wot ya don't see is Neo Nazis armed with Anti Radar Guns sweeping bugs from Border Towns...
Note how UK/US say they don't know shit as mass media ride up front...these hidden ads of sorts!
US/UK know what & why but don't wanna share that their wars are now your wars...in your towns!

#1 Tram Radar + Driver BOOM Stick a flag there...in that big Gaping hole!
#2 Bus Stop Radar + Kid (Boom!) Pass another Flag for their makeshift bus stop...that'll work!
#3 5th Floor Open Door on the Balcony Radar + Old Lady (Kaboom!) Like a monster chewed at it!
#4 Pipeline Meter Office (Boom) Pass the Duct Tape!
#5 Bridge is a Main Frame Glowing Red Hot Radar Antenna {Kaboom!} Should grow back Ok!
#6 Nuke Plant hoists another fucking Radar > Stand back Mr Atomic Inspector > { Kaboom } Incoming!
This last one is so common...
Once ya take note & list the Lame Nuke Targets > Labs / Wires / Sub Stations / enviro Gear
Russia only run min power by default ...Just there for Radars > Ukraine keep blowing the radars up!

World News : Ukraine Leader : Russia are Bombing >>> Choose anything with a radar...(That simple)
West have been told to excuse Ukraine / Israel for blowing shit up & killing heaps if they got a Radar.
See the same thing all over even in Gaza > Kmart Radar that's Hamas...Blow the Kindy Up! 100 dead!
As said...that's the last thing they want us to pick up on...Like Hey! That could happen in our town! Fark!
Stop them...NOW!

Ok! Now ya know why ya see these Penthouses with chunks missing...Radar / Kabooom!
Big hole where the Kindy tree-house was...(Radar!)
Hospital Ward > Sorry...nothin' personal (Kaboom!)

So! We All on the same page now...(Same the world over...blast the fuck outta Radars!) 100 dead!
Better them than us! Just like that! All now can be equally as evil as soon as someone flicks the switch!
Radar...lights up...no bigger than a Shoe Box ...Starlink zeros in..Zap! Pile of Ashes...no questions asked.
Think it was the Food Van...or was it the Pizza Boy...

Now ya got it...these Radars are now compact enough to bug an innocent to take one for the Team.
Too bad so sad! Really thought we were gonna get the Donuts thru this time...Where Fucked!

Next time ya turn on the Telly & see another innocent target...they know why...even if you don't.
You got Radar! Don't care how ya got it...Coz you are Fucked....54321 Food Van turns to dust!
Obliterated...just doin' my job mam! Like wotz the bid deal...just a radio with some skin & bones!

All of our cowardly leaders are sticking targets on our Homes and Utilities to save their arses...

Perhaps it doesn't matter , who is the President of the USA ?

Dennis Quaid doing the rounds, also did an excellent interview with Ben Shapiro.
 
Dennis says he’s an independent. And that’s exactly how he comes across. His insightful takes on Reagan, playing Reagan, Hollywood, acting in general, cocaine and addiction, America then, America now, were all very rational, down to earth and sensible. Very centrist. He's like - genuine middle America! Dennis says that the Reagan era was the best of times, and that Democrats and Republicans need each other to fend off the extremes. That he wants Americans to believe in themselves and in each other again.
 
And yet he’s voting for Trump. Because of the weaponising of the justice system.

I think the Democrats’ descent into lawfare pissed so many people off, tipped so many people over the edge and into the warm bosom of The Donald.
 
Maybe someone will do a Fani Willis biopic. I reckon that will make a great movie, a comedic mini Goodfellas. The biggest RICO case ever, probably the most dubious, and yet bumbling Fani is still using her boyfriend to skim off the top. Wonder what she was up to when the eyes of the world were not on her? I hope someone is digging.
 
Dennis says his dream screen project is to tell the story of the Lakota Sioux through the oral histories of Crazy Horse and his ancestors and descendants. That would make for a great series. That he moves from Reagan to the genocide of the Plains Indians with such ease and equal passion seems to sum him up. Dennis sure aint no MAGA acolyte, don’t think even Hillary would  dare refer to him as a deplorable. At least not in public.
 
Dennis should probably have a word to The Donald though, if he really wants him to win, and let him know that it's high time for him to get his Crazy Horse on. While Don is slurring his words, being rambling and indecisive, unable to decide on a battle plan, he more resembles a drunk Colonel Reno than a formidable Warrior. He sounds crazy, but not in a good way. More Crazy Bernie than Crazy Horse. And his constant whining about not getting proper credit for the size of his crowds, that the media loves Kamarla and not him, make him look more like an embittered and jealous Captain Benteen. All of that ends in slaughter.
 
Dennis should let The Donald know that he needs to put the current state of the fight, the bad polls, out of his mind. Put on his warpaint. Commune with the Great MAGA Mystery. Then get back on his horse and come out fighting like Crazy Horse. With faith in the certainty of his power to lead his people to a great victory over the ever encroaching Deep State Establishment.
 
If he still has the power to muster his powers. The common ground between Ronald and Donald that Dennis was reaching for more what he didn't mention - that The Donald is following the same trajectory as The Ronald, but only mentally, or as they say, cognitively. That The Donald is not the formidable warrior he was in 2016. That the line the fake news media is pushing is not all base propaganda.

We will see, at the Great Debate, if The Donald’s arrogance, his refusal to take advice, his propensity to gallop off on ill advised charges of his own, his belief in his own mythology, ends up like everyone always said it would, and turns into the inevitable bloodbath known to all as The Donald’s Last Stand.

U must be talking about the Standard media here , Eta , as the current media coverage , has been kind 2 Kamala .

Biden/Harris policy is being drilled into , it's Running/Ruining the country , in some peoples opinion .

On SN , not much discussion of Trumps Policy's , takes place at all , by anyone .

He Must have some bad ones lol !

What Insane or inane Trump Policy , should We bag and analyse , Eta or Stu ?

A One Off ( lol ) Wealth Tax on Everyone with $21.8 million , IS probably needed 2 pay for the 2.2Trillion Inflation Reduction Act and Ukraine Aid , 4 Sure !

Money is Flying Everywhere !

Tax the Rich More , Off with 15% of their Net Wealth / Heads , very socialist .

They have 87000 new IRS investigators , so that ARE ready 2 start chopping .

Let's Equalise Net Wealth , not Rights !

Can also imagine Trump telling them to F off , No Tax on Tips either .

U may not like Trumps response Eta , but it's Not insane imho .

I don’t disagree with the policy. Tbh.
But there is / was zero discussion of it in the media. It’s from 2020.

And if Kamala presented it now…
*communist*

If you’re going to frame the question / proposition that I made, what’s a Trump Vance 24 ‘policy’ that’s been subjected to any level of detail in the MSM?

Eta , I am slow and thought it was a current Harris Policy .

As I mentioned , a One Off Wealth Tax , is very Liberal and Harris/Walz are already branded Ultra Liberal , by Trump .

It sure would , add fuel 2 that fire .

Pundits ask why Kamala reads exact same script each conference & never does live interviews.
Now say that's coz she pulls twice the number to her gigs...none can afford her road show!
Recall this circus was before she was in the running...

This is how ya roll into town now...as said...just to read from exact same teleprompter as last gig!

Hey Hubbie...All sweet...you can pimp the Air Force One ride to my Gig...it's all Kosha.
Family lockdown their own Air Base...that's nice waste of another $Gazillion.

Check when they hit on just one street corner...for her shindig
No city can afford a downtown interview at a radio station = $ Gazillion/hr

Wot! Really wanna see The Prez shitshow...

#1 US Brat wore out the seat of her pants runnin' ragged doped out on world #1 Trip out.
Like...Wot U all freaks staring at...never seen a VIP Grandaddy Pimp Show before....Holy Shit!
Nothin' & You! Asked you a Question..."Said Nuthin' carry on shakin' dat thing little lady!"

Tay Tay : "Hot Damn! Luv to get that Gig... Trav' honey...could ya loosen my collar a little!"
