Trump's letter to the Prime Minister of Norway. ::)  ::)

Quote
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

“Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.

“I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

I think Unca Donald needs a cup of tea and a lie down.
That level of thinking is at kindergarten level
How long can this bloke stay in charge.
He's clearly lost the plot (which he never really had in the first place.)
The problem is, those capable of removing him are like minded minions or lack the fortitude to do what's right

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she had presented her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump during a high-stakes encounter that could affect how Trump seeks to shape the South American country’s political future.
But the Nobel Prize people said it is 'not possible' for an award winner to pass the prize onto someone else.

It was a silly, empty gesture.
It's not transferable and it can't be rescinded.
It's 'hers' and 'hers' alone.

And there's the strange thing...She's a Nobel Prize winner and that indicates she's fought very hard for the rights of her people.
She could have come at Trump from a position of strength.
Instead she chose to come meekly, offering much desired gifts and hoping for his support.

He'll say, "Thank you very much...Look what I've won"...and do diddly squat for her and her supporters as long as the current regime stays on his good side.

I think what would be best for the world is for one of his 'excursions' to go terribly wrong and then see how he tries to defend it.
No doubt he'd blame everyone but himself.
But I suspect it would put a dent in his support.
Once the cracks start to really appear watch the rats desert the ship.
Watch Rubio in particular. ;)

Trump to Iranian Protestors..."Help is on the way"

No it's not.
Probably a good decision...but the Iranian protestors now know, what most of the world knows.
That the "flip-flop" man cant be relied on when the chips are down.

Trump is apparently offering Greenlanders 10,000 to 100,000 to switch the country to the USA
If I was a Greenlander and he made it a million I'd do it in a heart-beat.  ;D


Then I'd move to Canada ;)  :D
Inflation says no.

If RedTrump went ahead with this inflation in the USA and Greenland would go through the roof, immediately the $1M would be worth next to nothing. It's the fundamental problem with unrestrained capitalism and it would be put on steroids by adding 100k overnight millionaires to USA economy at the expense of US citizens.

In any case, whatever value remained they would lose almost immediately it in fees, taxes and duties. Can you imagine Greenlandic natives suddenly losing Danish Health benefits and welfare to be left at the mercy of the privatised US Health and Social Services system, what's the fee for a call out to Greenland?

Inflation, gets you every time!

I'm converting it to Aussie dollars and it's going straight into my Cayman islands bank account :D

Canada will be another state in the USA according to Trump..got a massive drug and homeless problem too.

I reckon there are a few USA states that would be looking to be part of Canada.

We are more susceptable to injuries this year, than any year in the past. With a large amount of luck, we might be ok. With an average amount of luck, we'll be lucky to match last years efforts.

I'd argue the opposite.
That we're better placed to deal with injuries than we have been.
With greater depth and more versatility.
That shows through when we try to construct the various lines and players are missing out.
A lot will depend on who gets injured though.
So we'll agree to disagree.

I feel for others who don't follow the same logic as they are the ones who will jump up and down, pitchforks in hand demanding more from the club. That cycle will hurt the club, like it has in the past.
Carltons biggest issue is impatient supporters, forcing our hand before it needs to be forced, perpetuating cycle of unending rebuilds.

If the results don't flow then there will be changes.
So folks won't need to jump up and down.
The writing will be on the wall.
And most likely it will be the coach who will depart.
His contract is for 2026.
That was the allotted time.
We won't be sacking him, we just won't be extending him.

But he doesn't need to have dramatic improvements.
It just needs to be seen to be moving in the right direction.
The team coming together, youngsters developing, a springboard to 2027... and he may get his extra time.
A lot of that will take place behind the scenes in terms of 'goals and targets' and we don't even know if some wheels might not already be in motion for change...that wouldn't surprise.

Bottom line.
With a bit of good luck we will improve and the coach will get his extension.
That's what I hope for and expect.
If things go pear shaped we won't...and then there will be changes.
And then it will be a case of looking ahead to a better year in 2027.

But that's just football seasons.
Put the bad ones behind you and look forward to the next one.

There is probably no greater example of the deep divisions in American society today than the reaction to the killing of the woman by the ICE agent  yesterday.
People watching the exact same footage are seeing completely different things depending on their political leanings.

I expect Dean to debut in opening round, and he may well start on the bench, but he's not going to stay there; we no longer have 19th and 20th men Lods  ;D  

Dean probably won't have Weitering or Young game time from the get go and I suspect that he won't be spending a lot of time playing on Amartey or Curnow. 

You know what I meant :P
He won't be thrown straight to the wolves.
He'll be eased into the contest gradually.
If he lights it up early he may get a fair amount of game time.

But that's just my guess and when and how he's played will be up to the coaches.
It wouldn't actually surprise to see him start forward. ;)
