One to share from a Chistina Lorey post. “INSULTING & FRANKLY APPALLING” ?? Prince Harry has a message for Trump after the draft-dodger claimed the U.S. has "never needed" its NATO allies, and that allied troops had stayed "a little off the front lines" during the 20-year war in Afghanistan

"In 2001, Nato invoked Article 5 for the first - and only - time in history. It meant that every allied nation was obliged to stand with the United States in Afghanistan, in pursuit of our shared security. Allies answered that call," Prince Harry said.
“I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there. The United Kingdom alone had 457 service personnel killed."
A spokesperson for U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer backed Harry, saying that Trump "was wrong to diminish the role of NATO troops" in Afghanistan.
Starmer himself later called the remarks "insulting and frankly appalling."
That would also be another apt title for a Trump biography: “insulting & frankly appalling.”

Now let's see if the immigration folks go after Harry. Trump is capable of that kind of revenge.

OBR does not exist in US mores the pity, Backwoodsman

Indeed little t is "on a frolic of his own" un fettered and seemingly not answerable to Senate and Congress let alone Republicans

US is certainly behind in ensuring proper fiscal accountability

And don't ask me the US seems regardless of cost at least t is

”OBR does not exist in US”

Yes Ray, I’m perfectly aware of that, which is why I didn’t understand you bringing it into a thread about US Politics in general and Trump in particular. There seems to be little or no relevance.

+On day 100 of Trump's Iran war we were told that it would be over in 4-6 weeks. Timelines are now forbidden.

NATO is prepared to defend Denmark should Trump attack Greenland.
How do you like them apples?

Trump is good for renewable energy with the growing cost of gas and the historic low of the petroleum reserve. He is also good for vegetarians with the high cost of meat; however, due to the epidemic of explosive diarrhea from produce due to the cuts in food inspection, we might be safe with canned goods like beans.

Last night, Trump posted 44 AI images of things like The invasion of Karg Island and Trump saving George Washington from falling over a cliff with Mount Rushmore with Lincoln missing in the background.

So my point is, what does the UK OBR have to do with a thread about US Politics in General and Trump in particular?

We are only permitted one UK Politics thread, it makes no sense to bring UK issues into a US Politics thread. Better to keep UK issues to the UK thread, surely?

Lost me here Backwoods man ~ I used the OBR and other checking methods as a comparison to what there appears to be lacking in US (lack of control on t's policies etc)

Totally relevant to my mind

Trump wants it known that slavery was a kind, benevolent means of housing and feeding the poor, savage, uneducated, darkies.
In fact, he has ordered signs put up outside the Smithsonian museum that say "This museum has an inaccurate view of slavery and American history."

Sorry Ray, your writing style sometimes defeats me and I find your train of thought very confusing and difficult to follow. I guess this must have been one of those occasions.

Is that what the notices say?

The signs are in place. The wording on the signs are more extensive than my abbreviation,

Trump wrote that the “Smithsonian leadership does not present American history as a shared national inheritance to be taught and celebrated, but instead views American history as a ‘prime tool’ to advance ideas of social justice and the radical transformation of our society.”

He wrote that the leadership of both the institution and of the museum “cannot be trusted to tell America’s story with honesty and gratitude.”

There are several federal buildings that have gigantic images of Trump that are similar to huge images of the Ayatollah or the dictators of North Korea and Turkey.

"The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to allow the president’s executive order seeking restrictions on voting by mail to be in effect ahead of the midterm elections, after a federal appeals court upheld a previous ruling blocking much of the order.

Signed by President Donald Trump in March, the order calls on the Postal Service to restrict the delivery of mail-in ballots in states that don’t hand over a list of eligible voters. It also directs the Homeland Security Department and Social Security Administration to create a list of verified absentee voters, which the Postal Service would refer to when delivering ballots, and threatens to withhold federal funds to states that don’t comply with the order." politico

Now you get it. The Save Act bill should be called the save Trump from prison Act. Once elections are federalized, Trump will have Putin's election shame finished.
