X. STOP CARRYING OUT YOUR INTENTIONS!

Well, apart from anything else, he does smell like shit.

Other option, mid terms happen, Democrats control the purse strings and cut off supply, but Trump uses Qatari-held Venezuelan oil money and CEO extorted 'donations' to keep funding his policies and runs the government purely by executive order. or something like that...

If the mid-terms don't happen, that's the last chance for any democratic solution.

Once people know voting won't fix it, it ends with civil war, or it doesn't end, and Trump's reign becomes like Putin's.

...just assume the answer is yes.

I don't think PHON can govern itself above a certain size either.
Their candidate vetting is terrible. And yes, as with Clive, they'll get elected, have a blow up with Pauline and quit.
One Malcolm Roberts is ok, but a party of 40 of them won't survive.
I can't imagine them getting to 76.

He's forcing NATO to open another front, to keep Putin happy.

Yeah, because no cop ever has asked their buddies to give them a few good bruises to make a brutality charge look like self defense.

He never lost his footing. He walked away. If he's got bruises, they didn't come from that car.

ICE Academy Training Slashed in Bizarre Homage to Trump The number of training days allegedly commemorates the 47th president.

They get 47 days of training.

Trump's vanity is costing lives.

Ah, and deporting people would create job vacancies, not more unemployment. He's got that back to front.

Unless of course, whole businesses are going under because their entire business model has been broken by the lack of cheap labor, putting even more out of work - perhaps that is what he means.

He's now got a good chunk of the top brass in the military who need him to stay in power or they're gonna get court martialed.

That can't help.

We should have an RC into all forms of bigotry in Australia. Antisemitism, islamophobia, misogyny, racist attitudes to our indigenous peoples, homophobia, transphobia - the lot.
And it should take a good look at all the sources - main stream media, social media, foreign bots, nazis - all of it.

And investing in Venzuela would still involve massive sovereign risk from both the US and Venezuelan government sides.

Trump could be a lame duck, be impeached, or be pushing up the daisies next to Ivana by the end of this year.

What oil company would make a decades long investment on that basis?

Yeah, I've ended up with decomposing lizards in soaker hoses that way.
Lizard hides in garden hose.
Garden hose gets connected to soaker hose.
I notice odd lump of stuff at the end of the soaker hose and remove the end plug to flush it out.
Ewww.

...and petrol prices.

Artificial? yes.
Intelligent? no.

Trump looks worried because now he has to call back his boss and tell him the bad news.

Guy who snuck in with a 0.08% margin says what?

Or does he expect the party to give him the leadership AND a safer seat?

Me in the backyard. I have small bells in my beard.

Merry Christmas!

Yep. Knew that. They're out the front waiting.

..more specifically, because people --- that he fired --- are out of work.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden ...everything

yeah, that and they were copping the new ball.

Weather forecast for Adelaide tomorrow, showing rain until 12:30pm.

Adelaide weather forecast for tomorrow. Rain until 12:30pm. Australia need to do themselves a favour and get the job done today.

Because "cheats never prosper" is only true in kids games.

In the real world, our economic and political systems reward evil behaviour.

The only real crime is getting caught.

And even then, the punishments for the rich and powerful are slow in their delivery and provide little deterence.

...because she has the guts to ask him about it to his face and they don't.

Or if the massacre had happened two months before the election instead of two months after, he'd have been part of the 'let's not get hasty about gun laws' crowd.

So far, the drone attacks on boats, despite being blatant acts of murder, have been consequence free for the US.
Murder at a distance.
But if the US attacks, and the Venezuelans manage to take down one plane, or sink one ship, if there is any small counter attack with US loss of life, things change.
