@indo , my teeth are slowly deteriorating to the point that the top teeth have fuck all enamel left and the front teeth are getting very thin . So I’m getting a series of crowns and bridges on the top , 10 teeth in all for 30,000,000 rp . Bottom teeth are still good for another 5 years or so . I’ve used this female dentist before when the wife got 4 teeth bridged 9 years ago and no problems . The reviews over the last 10 years are outstanding. 3,000,000 rp per tooth compared to Australia where I was quoted from $1200 to $2500 per tooth . I had the prep work done a few days ago and actually fell asleep 4 times in 3 1/2 hours. Never fallen asleep in dentist chair in my life as I’m usually too tense . Easily the best dentist I’ve been to . See how they are in a few years .

Wow, that’s a bargain. Well done, I would never pay Aussie prices and I encourage many others to simply fly overseas. On par quality at fraction of the price.

Looking forward to this chat. 2 hours + of full crazy with zero fact checking. Should be a beauty of an episode

Ha ha yeah i dig Rogan, but he also spins some shit, him & trump talking about stuff like Covid, lockdowns, vaccination's, health, deep state etc i can see things they say causing some controversy in main stream media.

Rogan is great, I love his podcast. He talks shit sometimes but so do we. He’s not perfect but neither is anyone else. This is why he’s relatable and popular. Trump is smart by going there. He will win some points if he plays nicely.

She is little more than a self seeking opportunist. Just like Musk.

She could go full maga and have another shot at President in the future.

Honestly go listen to some older long in depth interviews with her and then listen to recent interviews too, i think you would change your view if you did.

She is the most genuine politician about, it's no different to when Peter Garret ran with Labor, Politics is about compromise you sometimes have to work with people you would rather not and even compromise on some things to get a little progress in other areas you are passionate about.

Well if Tulsi Gabbard is the most genuine politician around,
that is going to get her absolutely nowhere with MAGA , Fox News , project 2025 etc
The most hypocritical propagandist mob in US political history .

"...All of this suggests that the messaging pivot is a big mistake.

Why voters aren’t responding to messages like these is anyone’s guess, though the fable of the boy who cried wolf comes to mind. Trump was already president. And while Democrats warned about the danger he posed to democracy, we did actually have an election to get rid of him. Remember, the moral of the fable isn’t that, in the end, there wasn’t a wolf. It’s that no one believed the boy.

Moreover, the distaste for the democratic threat message among working people, and the total obliviousness to that distaste among campaign officials, is evidence itself of the huge disconnect between Harris and the working-class voters she desperately needs to win. Worse, every ad or speech spent hectoring about the Trumpian threat is one less opportunity for Harris to focus on her popular economic policies; one less opportunity to lean into a populist “people v plutocrats” narrative that actually does resonate with the working class.

If Harris loses, it’ll be because the campaign and the candidate represent a party that is now fundamentally alien to many working people – a party that has given up on mobilizing working people around shared class frustrations and aspirations. A party incapable of communicating a simple, direct, progressive economic policy agenda. A party so beholden to a contradictory mix of interests that, in the effort to appease everyone and offend no one, top strategists have rolled out a vague, unpopular and uninspiring pitch seemingly designed to help them replay the results of the 2016 election..."

scathing...

but spot on

whether she loses, or wins actually...

I have followed her for a while, she had great promise but couldn’t do the long term view so has gone to Trump.

Notice how Her and RFK, both rejected by the Dems have seen a future in Trump and maga. Trump loves picking up the rejects because they can’t threaten his position and knows they are beholden to him. They accept servitude to keep some sort of perceived relevance.

Listening the BBC world news last night and a pundit mentioned this, got my attention for sure...with the polling so close and the race so tight there is a good chance the electoral college vote ties at 269 each, both one short of the required 270. In that case the decision goes to Congress to determine who becomes President, but here's the rub, the House vote decides who is President but the Senate votes on who is Vice President, and it would be a real possibility that Trump becomes President and the Senate votes in Walz as VP..
Holy shitstorm Batman!

Trump burnt this Fish , but Melania has been working hard to get her back , on line .

Trump will finally be able to Point to his future Cabinet .

Nikki Haley will join Trump's A Team .

She will take over from Blinken and do a much better job at stopping Wars , IF Trump wins .

They weren't rejected by the Dems, they rejected the Dems, because they became frustrated with what the party had become and also with how it's become a party of puppet's with puppet masters and they weren't willing to be puppets.

They both became independents, but then found that the Dems were working hard on bringing them down while the Republican's weren't, in a sense pushed towards Republicans.

They also started to see the Republicans held values closer to their own, to fair id expect it wasn't just the parties that had changed over time, but highly likely them too.

Update on polls and betting market.

In national polls Trump has really gained ground its pretty much dead even now, in swing states Trump is ahead in all, but in reality all are so close they could go either way.

National poll average based on 12 major polls.

Harris=48.8
Trump=48.6

Swing states
Trump= 48.4
Harris= 47.5

Betting odds
Trump= 59.1
Harris=39.5

Have you looked into Fox News’s credibility and their Trump propaganda machine role

Have you looked into Trumps 30 to 1 lie ratio at the only debate he would do ,
Because he cried unfair that they would fact check him .
What part of no more fact checking interviews don’t you get?
Unbelievable a Trump fence sitter wants to bring up credibility issues.

What part of Trump still using Epstein plane for campaigning purposes, don’t you get?

I wonder if anyone watches them?

If you want people to watch a video, i think the best avenue is to just post one video at a time, and then give your opinion on what the video is about and how you feel, and then maybe you might get others interested in clicking on it.

And yes i will click on videos that go against my viewpoints, but generally it's more media like CNN or the Guardian to see what they are saying about an issue rather than pure propaganda type videos/channels.

It’s not really a propaganda war
If you watch some of Trump’s speeches and interviews,you might realise that he has mental declining issues
But if you don’t watch them, well you’re opinions aren’t valid.
