  1. Donna, STFU if you know what's good for you... Trump ‘does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases,’ Judge Chutkan says, issuing gag order A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump, limiting what he can say about special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution into his alleged attempt to subvert in the 2020 presidential election. The order restricts Trump’s ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, or the special counsel and his staff. The order did not impose restrictions on disparaging comments about Washington, DC, – where the jury will take place – or certain comments about the Justice Department at large, both of which the government requested. “This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said. “This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice.” “His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs,” the judge added... https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/16/politics/trump-gag-order-chutkan-hearing/index.html ...do you think Donna has a gag reflex? I suppose we could ask Putin....

  5. A cement truck plunged into a canal after its driver ignored warnings and drove onto a wooden bridge, causing it to collapse. The 55 year old driver, from Amnat Charoen, revealed that he thought the bridge was supported by concrete pillars, and thus decided to cross it. The incident occurred at 12.30pm today.

    Torres Strait Islanders I was once approached by a couple of lasses in a bar in Auckland, one Blonde and one 1st people Strayan, the non blonde said," If you can tell me where I'm from, I'll buy you a drink, if not, you buy us a drink". I looked at her for a while and said "Torres Strait Islands". They both dropped their Jaws on the floor. I had hoped for a further conversation and an evening spent with the lasses, as they were both quite attractive, but my accurate guess, had them nervous and they eventually ran away. The reason I'd known, was that I had, in my childhood watched numerous wild life doccos from a husband and wife team of Australian film makers, Ron and Valerie Taylor, who specialised in Australian sea life, Saltwater Crocodiles, Dugongs, Sharks and Turtles and such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Taylor_(diver) A lot of their work was up the Torres Strait way and the people were often in the films. So I recognised their look.

    BLAM!

    Because he had a sense of humour? Not yet born, but I imagine that, as a whole, a measureless number of people, looking for a home, is a problem that most would not relish, dealing with. I've never been anti-semitic, quite the opposite, the rather fetching Shona, of my youth, had a family that would not allow me, near her, on account of me being a gentile. So I became miffed, but not anti. I have always felt, that the Israelis have usually over-played the card in their hand, that is the, "see look at how many of us the Nazi's killed". Kong's suggestion, New Mexico USA, gets my vote, a quick televised second-coming from the King of the Sky Fairies, would establish the religious bona fides of say, Roswell: Roswell is in Chaves County and has a population of 48,186. There are many positive features. The public schools are ranked as above average, there are plenty of job opportunities, the community is diverse, and there are plenty of leisure activities for people to enjoy in the area. The new settlers could carve off a small slice, for the extant population to live in, and we're back to normal. It also has the advantage of U.S. military bases, not too distant, for support.
  9. From the China guy I know "Gull petrol has stepped into China market, has opened some gas stations and their recent online marketing campaign is to pump one liter gas, and pour it into a transparent measuring bottle of one liter in front of all the audiences on premises or online. The purpose is to show that one litre gas from Gull is equal to 1,000ml, not 800ml. Petrol China and other authorities have strongly expressed that one litre of gas is equal to 800ml. Many car owners have experienced the reading on the gauge has gone beyond their tank capacity. I find this funny, don`t know about you" Not sure if China is actually shorting their consumers by 200ml a litre, but I'm interested to hear of anyone's experiences...

    I've a cousin - Lawyer - whose career, has been representing 1st peoples in Aus. I was surprised to learn that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were only granted Australian citizenship in 1948 and voting rights federally in 1962, and in 1965. Given that white fellas could vote in one form or other since the mid 19th century and the Constitution was made in 1901, it's a small wonder that Ockers have a reputation for racism. https://www.aec.gov.au/About_AEC/25/theme1-voting-history.htm On the Voice vote, people should embrace change, when I was a teen, having a department of Women's affairs in NZ was thought highly unnecessary - by the males. Hasn't been so bad...
  11. and ... “To the extent Trump used a classified document to go after a critic, could suggest he saw value in the documents beyond just keeping them or showing them off to burnish his ego,” Blake wrote. “Whether other evidence points in this direction, we don’t yet know. But Smith’s team has clearly shown an interest in whether Trump used the documents for his personal advantage,” he added. “In April it subpoenaed information about the dealings of Trump’s businesses with foreign countries, for instance, apparently in search of a possible financial motive.
  12. Yes, some more word salad, is below: --- Trump went further at a campaign event in West Palm Beach, Florida. “When I see sometimes the intelligence, you talk about the intelligence, or you talk about some of the things that went wrong over the last week, they’ve got to straighten it out because they’re fighting potentially a very big force,” Trump said Wednesday. Regarding Hezbollah, which the US and its allies have warned against escalating the current conflict, Trump said, “They’re vicious, and they’re smart. And, boy, are they vicious, because nobody’s ever seen the kind of sight that we’ve seen.” ... Coss comment: "What we need is more Trump" ... Cav?
  13. The latest from Donna - 555 Former President Donald Trump has been insinuating for weeks that former President Barack Obama is secretly still in control of the White House. On Monday in New Hampshire, he explicitly said it. “It’s never been worse than it is now under crooked Joe Biden and, frankly, his boss, Barack Hussein Obama,” Trump told a crowd of hundreds at a campaign stop. “I think it’s his boss.” https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-keeps-adding-list-weird-obama-conspiracy-theories-rcna119881

    An Arab family was considering putting their grandfather (Abdullah) in a nursing home. All the Arab facilities were completely full, so they had to put him in an Italian home. After a few weeks in the Italian facility, they came to visit Grandpa. How do you like it here?" asked the grandson. "It's wonderful! Everyone here is so courteous and respectful," said grandpa. "We're so happy for you. We were worried that this was the wrong place for you since you are a little different from everyone." "Oh, no! Let me tell you about how wonderfully they treat the residents," Abdullah said with a big smile. There's a musician here - he's 85 years old. He hasn't played the violin in 20 years and everyone still calls him Maestro! There is a judge in here - he's 95 years old. He hasn't been on the bench in 30 years and everyone still calls him Your Honor! There's a dentist here - 90 years old. He hasn't fixed a tooth for 25 years, and everyone still calls him Doctor! And Me - I haven't had sex for 35 years, and everyone still calls me The Fucking Arab!
  16. But when you know where to look.... https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-israel-intel-russia-hamas-attack-1833094 Donald Trump's sharing of alleged classified intelligence to Russian officials in the White House has come under scrutiny amid a large-scale attack by the Hamas Islamist military group against Israel. In May 2017, the former president defended his actions after he was found to have discussed sensitive details about an alleged Islamic State (ISIS) plot with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office. Trump said he had an absolute right to do so. The intel was said to have been provided to the U.S. from Israel. It was suggested at the time that the former president's handing over sensitive information from Israel could have damaged the relationship between the two countries. It also could have raised the possibility that the details could be passed from Russia to Iran, the Gulf nation that is a fierce adversary of Israel and has long supported Hamas... Cupla conspiring chimps, having friendly nuzzle.
  17. Now that the Palestinians and Israelis have kicked off, the news cycle is and will be for the foreseeable future, dominated with events in and relating to the Middle East. Donna is gonna be, effectively ignored, excepting for an occasional report of some court event or other, contributing to his and his sproglets' demise. So sad, all this pop corn, what to do? Start a pigeon farm?
  18. Yes indeedy. For those who've forgotten or those for whom Trump is still a messiah: Donald Trump's ties to Russia go back 30 years https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/02/15/donald-trumps-ties-russia-go-back-30-years/97949746/ 2017: Trump revealed highly classified intel in Oval Office meeting with Russians https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/world/2017-trump-revealed-highly-classified-intel-in-oval-office-meeting-with-russians/2017/05/15/ef88d3a4-398d-11e7-a59b-26e0451a96fd_video.html Trump Shared Intelligence Secrets With Russians in Oval Office Meeting https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-denies-trump-gave-classified-information-to-russian-officials-1494890345 Three Russian Spies Meet in the Oval Office https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/three-russian-spies-meet-in-the-oval-office Russia’s State TV calls Trump their ‘Agent’ https://yalibnan.com/2019/12/17/russias-state-tv-calls-trump-their-agent/ Russian Delegation and a proud Trump.

  19. Did the 4 take turns selling the gun 4 times, or did they all hand the gun over together, with each touching the gun, as he received it? 🤪
  20. So Trump claims that Mar-a-Lago is worth 1.5 billion. A House Democrat asked Palm Beach County, Florida, to tax Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort property at a rate in accordance with the valuation the former president claims. 555 https://www.salon.com/2023/10/05/democrat-calls-bluff-on-mar-a-lago-valuation-by-urging-florida-officials-to-hike-his/ https://news.yahoo.com/rep-jared-moskowitz-calls-palm-194757928.html
  21. but wait... Trump discloses nuclear sub information. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=trump+discloses+nuclear+sub+information&t=osx&ia=web "It is becoming difficult to look at Trump’s behavior with the nation’s secrets and not see treason. Sharing sensitive information about U.S. nuclear sub detection and evasion capabilities with those who are hostile to America sounds a lot like providing aid and comfort to the enemy."
