  • In fairness to Trump, he has never, ever experienced the consequences of his actions. Bankrupt? Didn’t put a dent in his life since his father and banks kept the money flowing to him regardless, more than once. Rapist? No jail time. Fraudster? No jail, not sure that any fines have even been paid. So why would he think, when nothing bad happens to him and he can still golf the weekend away, that anything bad will happen to all the people losing their jobs, their investments, their retirement, their homes? Why don’t they all have rich fathers and sycophantic bankers to bail them out? At very least they should have Russian mafia backers like he does, that make it look like he’s a billionaire, even if it really is billions in debt to them.


  • UK and Italy are playing Trump’s game. He doesn’t negotiate. He demands tribute and only honours agreements if they are a win for him and he feels like honouring it at the time. Canada has a Trump negotiated trade agreement - the best agreement ever, in his parlance. It is apparently not worth the paper it is written on.
    Countries must negotiate trade agreements - with everyone except the USA. And citizens must support their countries by not purchasing any thing from the USA. As for the few Americans that didn’t vote for Trump, so sorry but your fellow Americans still fully support him. So it isn’t “just Trump”, it is America that is the problem. Trump is simply reflecting who the majority of Americans really are.

    He is a very good example why celebrities shouldn’t be worshipped. Yes they are often very good, world class, at some thing. But only that one thing. They may be shit at everything else, including being a decent human being. Enjoy what talent they share - a great goal scorer is a great goal scorer - but don’t ascribe more to them than that. They can’t topple off a pedestal if you don’t put them up there to begin with.


  • Someone launched fireworks a week ago in our neighbourhood. Why? A birthday? Who knows. It wasn’t any holiday nor a weekend. How exactly does one plan for that? And it wasn’t a single bear bang, it went on for 10-15mins. Nor was it that unusual. People seem to have fireworks displays at random throughout the year - any month, any day of the week. Some are even too early for it to be dark enough out to see them well so they are just a bunch of noise. I don’t mind the scripted displays on Halloween night, NYE, and July 1st but we don’t need all the amateur in between ones.


  • We should be thanking Trump. He’s so undisciplined, uncouth, uneducated that he talks like an 8th grade dropout mafia wannabe. However, that is much more representative of average America than the usual Presidents. He says all the quiet parts out loud. The US has been the biggest bully in the world since the end of WWII and uses every allied nation to prop up and enrich their own. For the past decades they have been masking it through a veil of diplomacy. But not Trump. He tells it as it is. Problem for the USA is that he thinks that is good and that America is a great nation that all others worship. Maybe under his government, the rest of the world will be freed from the US.



  • Poor Elon. Rich people really do not understand. Even if they came from poverty backgrounds, they lose perspective. They think they did it all by themselves to get where they are and do not understand that chance and luck play a big part in determining which ‘hard workers with an idea’ get ahead. The working world is littered with smarter people who just didn’t get the breaks to become super rich. Once they are rich enough to waste $25M on a judge’s election they really do not understand that for the majority of Americans losing their job can mean a quick succession to homelessness from which they may never recover.
