But it is staggering to me the insurrectionists have been pardon

Should all be given medals, unlike the real traitors and criminals that Biden pardoned. :shh

My only comment is I really do hope that somehow we escape the President's 25% tariff on ALL imports

Free trade agreements don't see to mean anything this time round

Any tariffs on our exports is going to be death knell for some.

Left or right any tariffs aren't a good thing and is not something to laugh about or applaud

Pretty clear after a few hours what his agenda is and he certainly has the mandate

But it is staggering to me the insurrectionists have been pardon

you watch too much mainstream WP.

On the tarrifs, i hope he continues with them. What difference does it make in this country. We are getting bent over in every which way esp in Victoria. No one seemed to care about the failure of the small business secotor in Vic over the last 5 years, so why do they care now?

A strong USA is good  for many investments which most people would benefit. Have a look at their strong tech sector.

If that fails, then perhaps wong and rudd can continue sucking up to him as they have been doing lately.  :lol :lol

No issues from you with the other pardons? :shh

Serious question

He has had one term already …

The world survived him and his antics then

From either side .. I just don’t get it

He wasn’t a disaster before - what will be different?
He wasn’t a hero before - what will be different?

Many are acting like he’s going to save the world and many acting like he will destroy it ..

The world will be fine either way at the end of this term

In some areas yep, financial being one perhaps, though it cant get any worse.

disagree in others.

one thing he is changing is the direction we were all heading and that was left. Already it seems Canada may be following suit.

Most people have had enough of crap like these climate deals, and he is the best person to start changing it up.

He isnt a politician Damo and many people have had enough of those scum bags.

Dr Fauci that fraud, Hunter Biden,

His whole family, all those crims. There were plenty.

What a breath of fresh air seeing how trump treated colombia today. slaping  tarrif instead of violence and then they clered the ruynway for him.

I know some out there love the voilence side of things, but we will see less wars than we did with the previous loser.

There is nothing better going around.

Unless you feel the dictator from Ukraine is a worthy choice?

Not sure he got much right when talking about the Ukraine


What I found interesting were the responses from our leaders.

Dutton showed balls and called him out for being wrong.
Albo was weak as pee as usual and didn’t have the balls.

Dictator from Ukraine? Seriously you believe that? And Putin's what a fairly elected President?  Spare me.

The majority of what he said about Ukraine and its President was factually incorrect. Example, Ukraine did not start the war, it didn't invade Russia, Russia invaded Ukraine. This is fact. But it would seem in your eyes Frankie everything Trump said was the truth

Further, the fact his team had a meeting with only Russian officials over the war speaks volumes

Only one news report last night showed the bit where Albo said "we stand with Ukraine", granted not enough but he did say that

PM is stuck between a rock and hard place a bit right now regarding Trump. With the tariff mess still hanging over Australia, he's really not in a position to whack Trump over anything. Criticise Trump any chance of avoiding the tarriffs is goneskis...

Dutton calling out Trump reminds me of  Morrison calling out China over COVID. Just another idiot politician trying to big note himself. Morrison caused Australia to lose billions in trade and contributed to his election loss.

I was a 20 yo in 1975. At Monash Uni and spent most of the year in the Small Caf smoking pot and planning a revolution. Good times. Thanks for the memories.
