I think Trumpy had another shot at Canada today. Why not? Is my only response.

They used to be good, now they are a pretty entitled country when you think about it.

And their housing crisis is ten times worse than ours.

He’s invited them to join the United States.

Trump must know he has a terminal illness or something, and his time is limited? He's been like a walking headline the past three-four weeks since taking office - including entirely comical shit like the above Canada nonsense.

I suspect he'll only last the first two years. Then hand over to a (semi sensible?) Republican successor, so that they have time to build their brand before the 2028 election against the Democrat nominee (The Rock? George Clooney? Who knows...).

There’s already whispers about a change to the US constitution to allow him another a term or 2.

This didn’t age too well Jim.

The Hubris of the Democrats, running Hillary and then giving Harris half an afternoon to campaign. She wasn’t well suited, but she worked hard and did her best.

And instead of injecting any freshness into the campaign, they rely on dusty Ivy League champagne socialist resumes and wokey celebrities to win.

Trumpy threatens womens rights and the Democrats can’t even beat that message because they are too busy championing rubbish and busy flying private jets around to save the environment.

There’s probably more than a few good democrats, but they obviously weren’t invited to take a seat at the campaign table. It’s time for Nancy, Barrack and Chuck etc to step aside.

At least Trumpy isn’t big on military wars, that’s probably a relief.

I wonder if we will get a US statehood offer? It would be a polite gesture at the very least. We’ve had close links to the US for ages.

I went there Bandy, but it seems to be government pr stuff.

It's certainly a positive spin, but put that aside, the legislation is there

My understanding is that governments of any persuasion have some kind of influence, but are also subject to the winds of broader economic change.

That would be mine also

And when I studied economics at school, we learned about policy lead-in periods.

Paul Keating once likened the economy to a big heavy ship that takes a while to change direction, slow down or speed up.

Lead and lag, you can't expect an economy to just instantly change, trend tells you more about shit than does data points.
But on my reckoning, a gun economy is fine, but variations within it ( who is benefiting and who isn’t) is still an issue.
It depends what you are measuring, number goes up is pointless if only a few benefit.

That youngsters can’t afford standard housing in a country as rich and spacious as ours, is perplexing, no, its upsetting.

Been mostly ignored for 3 decades.

Either near every politician of every persuasion misses the obvious, or rising housing prices are a feature of economic policy.

Which seems more likely?

I don't think this time as any different to the last in terms of getting media attention
If people stopped talking about him that would be the worst thing for him
And chances of him handing over the Presidency are about the same as the Eels winning the GF

Did you know that it has to pass by 2/3rd majority in both houses and THEN it must pass in 3/4 of the 50 states ?
Exactly, there are those Republicans that are smart enough to realise that while such a change may benefit them now, down the track it will come back to haunt them when they are stranded in opposition.

The main difference is last presidency he had people in his administration who would push back against his dumber shit.

This time round the ability to swallow orange semen gleefully gets you a position in the administration.
