I saw DB live Sydnee showgrounds,late 70s....at one stage he said to audience,"I learnt a new song in Australi....I feel like a TOOHEYS", then grabs a longneck out of a close by stage esky....most people cheered!

My first thoughts when seeing the Don was attending superbowl was , far out , the security cost would be enormous . When it comes to a good publicity performance & golf however, it seems that no expense is too much . Some reports have the cost being around 3 million but who knows? That makes the other tickets look cheap …………..“Get-in” tickets are the cheapest seats to simply gain entry to a game. Secondary seller and market analyst ticketiQ had “all in” priced seats as low as $2,825 for the cheapest seats in the house. Meanwhile, some lower bowl seats with a face value of $6,350 had slipped below $6,000. https://sports.yahoo.com/despite-trump-taylor-swift-and-kendrick-lamar-a...

The National debt of the U.S. is 34 trillion dollars.
Thats money the American people have to pay interest on and forfeit their way of life to survive. Homelessness, poverty is rife and it’s their money.
Should they just keep borrowing to prop up the rest of the world or should the rest of the world step up….finally.
Good or bad Trump and the new government are done with it and are taking action…..finally.
Only time will tell the outcome and that’s time we should give them to try.

Opti,

At least previous administrations had taken responsibility for cleaning up the mess they created, but the Don has pulled the pin, so to speak, in Cambodia.

Now look at who has stepped in to help.

Great work Don!

Well Trump has had 3 weeks and the price of eggs has gone way up,
and eggs are actually becoming hard to find,
As the price of gasoline and everything else has gone up.
And all the expert economists are saying tariffs will only increase inflation and prices ,
“ only time will tell the outcome “
Maybe the US people think that 3 weeks is long enough for Trumps zero promises so far,
And with Trump spending a lot of his time playing golf at Mar a largo , at taxpayers expense.
And Musks SpaceX ready to gouge trillions more out of the economy ,
I think you’re getting distracted by the nice shiny Trump coins.

Many here will disagree but he's a clever guy. That doesn't mean he's a good person with good intentions. But he knows how to drive things to closure when it suits him. Now we are talking about rebuilding Gaza. Who, how, how much, who is paying....We didn't talk about any of that a couple of weeks ago. He quickly shifted the whole narrative.

It's THEIRS.

Part of their BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.
It's something you never have to think about, because you've got yours, and if it was denied you, by force, with prejudice, you fkn pussies would be crying for your mummies.

And @ Opti, what a line,
"Countries must stand on their own two feet and stop looking for US hand outs."

Pretty easy to believe that Israel broke the ceasefire agreement, what with killing children until the last possible minute before the "ceasefire" and blowing up their own citizens on Oct 7th. I'm sure we'll hear "YOU BELIEVE PROPAGANDA" from the usual suspects, though.

Musk is investigating and axing , many of the government departments and agencies that are investigating his companies for workers exploitation , and other illegal practices.
The CFPB ( Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) , has helped over 200 million consumers , in the US with fraud and rip offs by big companies and corporations.
Which returned way more money to the government and taxpayers than it cost. to run .
Musk has just axed this department, because it has been helping consumers fight big businesses rip offs . Musk and his mates.
People including Musk fans ,are starting to question why Musk has axed this agency ,
When it returns way more money than it costs to run, and helps the little guys consumers.
You don’t need to think too hard about it, to realise that this is just one example of
Musk’s corruption 101.

When the vast majority of the world are looking back on Israel's reprehensible actions and the U.S.A's more than slight involvement with utter, utter disgust, and that day will come sooner rather than later, you can say that you were too busy "owning the libs" or whatever phrase you've imported from watching MAGA videos to speak out, even though you still won't shut up about the "death jab", which killed how many people? How many children? Oh yeah, fuck all. And you were so sure the Trumpy was gonna put an end to all the wars. Pffffft. This is definitely the last chance I address you.

CBS News poll — Trump has positive approval amid "energetic" opening weeks; seen as doing what he promised.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-approval-opinion-poll-2025-2-9/

We can all bitch and moan about things but the reality is, Trump will be seen as successful by a portion of population. More than half of Americans don’t even have a passport. Average American hardly ever travelled anywhere outside the US and has no interest or knowledge about some USAID. There is little empathy and understanding of others. Most people are obese and overweight and general health knowledgeable is low. Education of the world outside the US barely exists. Trump thrives in this environment.
