Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2700 – November 29, 2020, 03:55:28 pm Trump probably should have read some of his briefings as there was probably some really fascinating stuff in them. But he spent his Presidency saying stuff like “Someone should really look into that” as if someone else was President (and now someone else is). Maybe he forgot that he could get his minions to bring him the answers to just about any question he ever wanted to ask. But once he worked out how to use the remote control to watch cable news 24/7 and how to order cheeseburgers, his curiosity was sated. Quote Selected

I bet he's thought about it.Iran is shaping as the more likely one.Israel has been blamed for the assassination of one of their top nuclear guys.There was a story a few days ago that Trump had to be talked out of bombing Iranian nuclear sites.Netanyahu's urging Biden not to re-adopt the Iran Nuclear deal.Would Israel try and provoke something in the last days of a Trump Presidency....support will likely be a lot less for such actions under a Biden administration?Would he find a willing partner in Trump?It won't have an effect on the Presidential succession...but it would certainly give Biden a rocky start to his Presidency.

Its a bit like Men In Black i think. Aliens are everywhere, they are just hiding in plain site. America elected one with some not quite right orange hair recently."Elvis isn't dead, he just went home".....if only that was Trump Quote Selected

Trump can say whatever he likes, as it seems pretty much 100% of what he says is imaginary and nobody of any consequence takes any notice! Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2709 – December 06, 2020, 06:20:59 pm Biden has now passed the 270 certified electoral college vote barrier (three states are still to certify) so the outcome of the election is done and dusted. Of course, the POTUS continues to maintain that he has "never lost an election" Meanwhile, the runoff elections in Georgia are very tight and it may end up with the VPOTUS having the balance of power in the Senate.

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #2712 – December 13, 2020, 12:02:36 am The latest crazy court bid has come a gutser but I suspect that the POTUS will have to be carried, kicking and screaming, from the White House.Meanwhile, the Republican luminaries are too scared of the POTUS’s “base” to put their hands up to run in 2024. Added to that, one of the run-off senate candidates didn’t even show up for an arranged debate with his Democrat opponent 🙄The POTUS-elect will have his hands full trying to sort out the mess he will inherit. The Republican leadership will have their hands full trying recover their hijacked agenda.It makes our politicians and our system look half decent 😳 Quote Selected
