Top Trump Confusion

[johnwash1]

Anything coming out of the White House these days is material for a comedy show. Except it's no laughing matter when you have kids dying of measles because of people like RFK.

But don't take my word for anything medical, do your own research and try not to filter your info so it supports whatever prejudices you have. For example, do a search for 'are masks effective for reducing the spread of covid?'. And look at where those hits come from to decide if they may be reputable. I see

Oxford University? Seems worth listening to, don't you reckon?

Warning: uses bigly words, may be unsuitable for MAGA voters.

Those are just the first 3 hits I got, using duckduckgo. All from organisations that seem far more deserving of respect than anything coming out of the White House these days.

But if you find this kind of thing unconvincing, fair enough, live your life as you wish. I only hope that you'll avoid encouraging others to make life choices that adversely affect others in their community.

I totally ignore ANYTHING coming out of the Maga White House -The whole team are a bunch of brown noses doing the bidding of The Fuehrer.

BTW I noticed that the Pope died today, soon after JD Vance's visit with him (yeah yeah I know the Pope was ill) Only wish Vance had that same effect on Cockwomble.

I think after speaking to Vance the Pope probably thought 'what this for the next four years, I give up' and gave up on life.

Trump probably would be after this job as well. 'The only true true leader, the only one that can guide you to making a deal to get to heaven, your bestest ever, ever pope, truly.'


Tell me why is it that whenever I see Vance on tv all I hear is banjos playing the music from the film Deliverance ??

Hang on to your hats folks its roller-coaster time again. Whether the stock market issues are confined to the US will be seen today, after the Easter break.



Musk sacks the head of the IRS

Also, trump wages war on the Federal Reserve by demanding that they cut rates, labelling the Chairman a Major Looser and Mr Too Late. The Federal Reserve is wholly independent of government. Trump probably thinks he knows better (much much better, the besty of the best) than a group whose prime function is to manage the US (and so the rest of us) interest rates.



Perhaps he will sack Powell and install one of his own in there (Is JD Vance busy, he is, oh I really like people who start their names with JD, are you sure he is busy, ok who else have we got, their name must start with JD. There's a JD Williams, he's British, Melania likes him, ok lets go with JD williams and look smart about it.)

I rather doubt Melania gives him any advice these days and keeps a 10' barge pole handy.

ps: @Stnenopmoc, thanks to someone else giving me a clue, I finally understand your moniker. D'oh! And there was me calling Trump stoopid.

Helps to understand crosswords, or one episode of Red Dwarf.

True. I used to be part of a group doing the crossword at lunchtimes. As the least able, I was only permitted to sit opposite so I could read it upside down.

I love Red Dwarf. Any Americans reading this, it's Brit humoUr at its best. You'll need to start with the first episode, so you understand the premise of the series, e.g. why there's a humanoid black cat with an impeccable dress sense.

JD would definitely only cope with two minutes of Red Dwarf and then return to watching the Dukes of Hazzard.

[Stnenopmoc]

yeeeha

I am convinced The Cat was modelled on James Brown

Looking Good !

Our federal election is April 28th. We’ll see what happens going forward.

Well you guys have elected Carney, so what does this mean in your relationship with America? Please do spell it out for us so we appreciate Canadian politics

Seconded. Many of us here are watching Canada with great interest and rooting for you.

Of course it's a tragedy that Carney has been elected. I was hoping he'd not be, then be so cheesed off he'd return to the UK and do a great job for us here.
