Do you remenber how the environment was here about 9 years ago and the years before that? It was just absolutely terrible! -Many times I was thinking about packing up my stuff and leaving, without slamming the door [<-without deleting my account]. It always stranded on 'where else to go?'! -Much, much better to day, so we don't loose young CofB&F newcomers and newbies, who all are the future CofB&F energy! Oh yeah, there is a lot of talent here and some very very smart people. Political opinions are certainly very different and we're learning to cope with each other. We'll keep working on it.

Let's accept that as fact for the purposes of this. So now that we've agreed that Pompeo and Bolton are on Iran's kill list - doesn't that just make Trump pulling Pompeo and Boltons federal security detail in early 2025 just about the most egregious, vengeful and reckless bordering on murderous thing a US President could do to former subordinates and men that served in his previous administration??? You say Trump is the finest President of our lifetimes - please explain how all this can be true at the same time? One more time - Trump is great President, Iran is hunting for Pompeo & Bolton heads AND Trump removed their federal security protection in early 2025. Square that circle for me. I really want to hear your explanation on this one.

I really want to hear your explanation on this one. I don't get you. You're claiming that Bibi is leading Trump around by his tail. You're harping on your thesis that Trump got bamboozled by Israel - that there was "no imminent threat " to America. I gave you a list that is true and well known - but of course, the media and perhaps your hero, John Mearsheimer don't want to acknowledge or talk about. It's really not that hard change: Iran is a threat to the whole world, certainly to American lives - I mean how many more Americans does Iran need to kill? How many more times do they need to scream "Death to America"? I just gave you what you already know: they've wanted to kill Americans that oppose them from day 1 - especially since Trump killed Soleimani. It's just not that hard. Now you want to me to explain to you why he removed the security details of 49 intelligence officials? Sorry - I'm not in his head. You're trying to spin us on the "imminent threat" crap, like there is no reason to take out Iran military or it's nukes. It's getting silly, it's so obvious.

I was accepting @cubsfan premise for the purposes of putting together a very difficult puzzle for him - think you missed that. The puzzle is: (1) Trump is a great President. (2) Iran is plotting to kill Mike Pompeo & John Bolton. (3) Trump removed Mike Pompeo & John Bolton’s federal security detail in January 2025.

An example of Danish immigrant policy when it's worst, some paper pusher making 'mechanical' decisions with the head up where the sun doesen't shine : Fyens Stifttidende [March 15th 2026] : Nurse deported to war in Iran shortly after husband's death: - Our lives are completely shattered An Iranian nurse went to Denmark to help with the nursing shortage and landed a job as a social worker at a nursing home. Yet authorities are now sending her family back to war-torn Iran. Mehrnoosh Emadi had just buried her husband when she was told that she must leave Denmark and return to war-torn Iran by May 5th. - - - o 0 o - - - A widowed nurse with kids!? A tax paying, to society contributing, educated nurse, filling a meaningsfull job where there is labor shortage?! - WT*?! - I hope this triggers Mehrmosh gets the help she needs, and / or some politician steps in here. If I was a lawyer, I would take this case pro bono. I found her address, not far from here, and her phone number, I will likely text her monday to ask if she stands alone with this. At least I can refer her to the right person in town. Monday, I called Mehrnoosh Emadi for a talk, a bit after noon. I got her oldest son Bardia on the phone. It appears his mom can't afford to have have a mobile phone up running, so he had provided his own number to the directory, to keep her connected. He sounded like a yong man, likely late teenager years for him. Here is photo of the family in a later article - Bardia to the right, and Moms recently deceased hubby in the background on a photo : I've just send him a text message, that I'm willing to help pro bono, and that I know where the right person is in town to help, as I'm not a lawyer myself. Bardias high school class has organized a petition for him on change.org, rooting for him, and the case is already on the relevant ministers table. But what does that help, when we are a democrazy [<- pun intended!], and the minster don't know if he is the minister after 23rd March 2026, after a parliamentry election? -In short, he doesen't care, and the family has an expel deadline 5th May 2026 to leave and go back to Iran! Just so crazy, and so Undanish, the whole thing! But now I feel good, I've tried, offered to help, if no takers, so be it. First thing you learn as an advisor : You can't solve all problems on this planet.

73 Reds Posted March 19 Posted March 19 13 hours ago, John Hjorth said: @73 Reds, Much of the above is correct, I would personally say. I haven't yet seen you go haywire here in this topic, I suppose I never will, right? But from reading your posts - all of them - one get to sense quite well, when you're really upset - you simply aren't able to hide it. None of us are. I have personally been called out for misbehavior a few times my self, here and there. It's my temper. While getting older, I think perhaps my corners are getting honed a bit more rounded. I'm personally a camper here, however I will not exactly call it a happy one. To me this topic is as much cultural as it is political, and I have learned tons of things from it about especially North American culture and thinking. I'm personally trying to provide similar Northern European input here to the best of my abilities, i.e. I sense you have appreciated my posts containing information about all the Greenlandic stuff going on, and I'm trying my best to stay out of US internal affairs, I have been called out earlier posting opinionated stuff about such. Down a half house ytd, so I think that provides the merit for participating here, for my part. We all should be free to voice whatever opinions we have. Your POVs on Northern European matters are always of interest - how else are we supposed to learn? I try to appreciate issues from all sides. There is only one poster here who gets under my skin and because of his blatant antisemitic posts I will continue to call him out whenever his ignorance and hateful nonsense resurfaces here. Silence in response to such hate-speech is nearly as bad as the utterance itself.
dealraker Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Trump and family? They be gittin' filthy rich! Good progress for a family that considering inflation went backwards for 50 years! Crypto! Crypto! Crypto! And now drones! What was Trump doing for those 50 years in reverse? Starting fights; filing lawsuits; messin' with the ladies of all ages; completely dominating the media... bitching and blaming while doing fucking crazy shit. What's he doing today (while we bitch at one another)? Y'all having fun yet? Love me some Trump!

At the partial defense of the other party...they are probably practicing the same ideology: Silence in response to such hate-speech is nearly as bad as the utterance itself. It's easy for all of us (including myself) to have a perspective that makes perfect logical sense to ourselves. The hard part is viewing that perspective in hindsight when time has proven what the right position in the past probably was. Cheers!

If you see Trump from 50 years ago, tell him that you are from the future and that he should put up personal guarantees on his future investment in New Jersey's Trump Casino!

Look at this one today...just plain stupid...it was a harmless joke. Oscars host Kumail Nanjiani faces backlash over Schindler’s List joke People can't even laugh at anything anymore. One of the most powerful television shows ever written, All in the Family, wouldn't be able to air most of its episodes today because of the language. Fortunately, there is an "oldies" station in Vancouver that does show it every Sunday night. Both sides don't understand how they are actually harming themselves from this censoring of the right to speak. Cheers!
Blake Hampton Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Being a Trumper is sort of like a religion: Unwavering faith in a sole entity, lacking in any form of logic or evidence. I try and respect everyone's beliefs. But I also think religion often lends itself to Authoritarianism.
Blake Hampton Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Also, Democrats are shutting the government down over face masks? What about our now $39 trillion national debt? Not a peep from either side.

That is in this case a pure financial Scaramucci where he does his skilled deep dive (and of course his patented straight punch to the face) into Trump-land finances - the wealth transfer from all of us to the Trump bunch! Yea, both an X page of daily digest and a podcast. Honestly I'd think someone who could go the distance and detail into the Trump world and spill it out in layman's terms could get so much attention and fame. Just put all your assets into your wife's name Greg...and go for it. You could make a name for yourself. Oh yea...keep your extreme political bias...that's really not at all what this should be about. It is pure finance, nothing more and nothing less. The Trumps and milking it big time...as POTUS says, "like never before." And the opportunity for fame is out there while nobody is taking advantage of it!
