He's a flog!

What's a "flog" Zman?
I'm not used to some of our great Aussie slang. I feel that in my waters.
Nevertheless "flog" sounds good descibing that yoyo man.
I laughed when I heard he's had a bromance breakup with Putin.
At last!
He's as fickle as a rotten pickle. Most knew Putin was playing Tramp for the idiot he is. I do hope he backs out of the Ukranians' efforts for a peace deal.
With more and more military weapons and almost unbrided support from Europe and other nations like Australia, and an exhausted Russian military, man power and economy, who needs the material support from the US? Although US intelligence support is vital but that's depends on Frump's unpredictable whims that change daily. Germany, Poland, France, Britain, Finland, Baltic states ..., and our Australia are toughening up military wise because of Russia, and China too in our case.
At least the US is keen on "Freedom of Speech", which cuts both ways. They give free reign to disinformation and conspiracy theorists. I know we get some of that too in Oz.
King Charles just addressed the Canadian parliament saying nice things about Canada's Sovereign country, not mentioning Thrump wanting Canada, but everyone knew what he meant about Canada as the US's 51st state; Trump also hinted at our Sovereign Australia as a 52nd US state! He's dreaming!
He sure makes nations and billions of people hate him. Yanks too who voted for him.
He's a global liability. A right royal flog.

Hi Grier, a flog is just a nice way of calling someone a dickhead. I hope that helps you.What's a "flog" Zman?

Trump's having a bad hair day with Musk leaving him saying Trump is actually increasing the US monster deficit. 
Also Trump is starting to think Putin has been playing him. Duh!
Worse still the US judiciary is saying Trump's tariffs are illegal and are stopping the tariffs, asap.

Poor old Biden, he tried to hang on too long stuffing up the Dems chances.
Like Bill Shorten and Al Gore, he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Dutton dug a big grave for himself, in several ways.
At least the Libs and Nats have kissed and made up? There's still undercurrents of disent I hear. I wish Susan Ley and Proud Little David well. I jest. He's alright.
Still, despite political leanings, a strong mid right Opposition under Ley would be good for our democracy, even independent and small loony parties deserve a voice, imho. Better that than they take to the streets and it's good to hear the extreme voices of disent, to see where they're at. One Nation for example that my eldest loves, and flog Palmer ... That's fine by me, my girls are as right as I am left leaning. Immigration is their beef. I believe it's necessary, especially for our ageing population. Quality immigration we controll, not queue jumpers.
As for Trump, he's unhinged in many ways. Back peddling hard now because he had no clue about economics. Will his ardent followers be happy paying double for their I phones made in Chi-nah?
As for Trump's future, it's as unpredictable as he is. Still, his history is already being written, with a big red pen! 🖍

And while the world trade body, WTO sits on its hands. As toothless as the UN.Trump's having a bad hair day with Musk leaving him saying Trump is actually increasing the US monster deficit.

Had he done this in his first term, no way is he being voted back into power. I was looking at a graph about nations debt rating and the US is by far the worst. That was up to before Trump was re elected so betting their new rating is now astronomical.

Talking to Meta AI about all sorts of things, it pointed to our Aussie Guardian media about Trump's malignant narcissistic personality.
Here's a snippet from the Guardian, a very good news provider IMO .🗞
"An anti-Trump political group organized a letter signed by more than 200 mental health professionals, warning that Donald Trump is dangerous because of “his symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder – malignant narcissism”, which makes him “grossly unfit for leadership”."
There's much more that Meta AI can tell you. It even explained lots of details about my broken collar bone. All verbal both ways. Very informative.
Even telling me interchange and substitute rules in my AFL Fooball. The rules make generous exceptions for concussed players. As they should.
Are there similar concussion concessions in your Rugby code Craig?

Is that similar to Microsofts Co Pilot and a platform my cluey son told me of, Chat GPT?

The US deficit is huge at 72 US $ trillion but that includes NGO's and private OS debts. Half of the 72 trillion is a US government debt at 36 trillion.
Listening to a savy economist on our ABC he said most of the US's huge deficit was due to their over spending....
not OS economic plundering but a lot of the US seeking cheap labour overseas, for profit and themselves diminishing their own manufacturing for profit."Greed is Good" crap...Fair enough for Trump to rein that giant deficit in, but what a global economic mess he's created that will echo globally for a decade or so.. He's shooting from the hip with a shotgun, a right flog he is! Nice to see Musk's 5yo son give him a black eye. Good boy.
I heard today that Trump's going to give the US rich big tax concessions costing much more than his DOGE-y savings done by now and absent Musk.
I hope his Tesla goes belly up and wish him many more failures with his blowing up Space X Rockets. I'd like to see him the rocket man pilot one of his flakey rockets. His grandiose ego booster blowing up sky high ...
I'd put water in his petrol tank's chain saw of cuts if I could. The US's chief Twit as he so aptly called himself once. I like it, very apt.
Honestly, I do feel for the US people about to get hit hard by tRumps tariffs.
"I love the uneducated" Trump once bellowed. I get that !!
baa, baa, ..!They're not so savvy nowadays. Australia is not that land locked mountainous country in central Europe.
We are girt by Sea.
I have admired and read a lot about US history, but Trump has soured it all.
To me he's a disgrace to the US.
Mentally a stupid petulant man child with a malignant and vengeful narrissist personality needing constant praise as Zelensky woke to. "Yes President Trump, that's a great idea...." suck, suck, suck up. Meta AI agreed!
Our Ex Oz PM Rudd thought similar. And many others too. Globally.
Thanks to Trump many nations are now favouring left of centre politics.
Was that your genius plan Mr Trump? Reverse sort of psychology?
I spent hours chatting to Meta AI about this and other issues. Meta coined the phrase "malignant narcissism" for Trump, which I like to happily pass on.
Asking about my negative comments about Trump and free speech, and its repercussions she gave me the green light, but US citizens might get lash back from the US's thought police. So I happily stand for the bewildered US people in fear of reprisal.
At a time with pandemics, inflation, severe weather events, global warming, wars, genocides, Capitol rioters pardoned, sea level rises, cyber crime, war criminals favoured over once allies and treated harshly ... we got Trump as a rancid desert. This seems like a pivotal point globally, in many ways.
I hope the US will rise from the Ashes of an Authoritarian Despot. not worthy nor capable of leading coherently. Yoyo man with a nasty bent.
I do like the way our Australia has been so supportive of Ukraine and the innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Not Hamas. Too right. We're a decent people in Australia but know BS when we hear it, mostly, my Ex wasn't good that way.
As for Trump's desired noble peace award, considering his enablement of supporting Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza, he is complicit and not worthy of such an accolade. He's a flogger to his bones with little emparhy..
It's nice to have free speech in Australia.

Musk and Trunp are having a spat with the bromance over.
Breaking up was expected.
The big issue is that Turmp is giving big tax cuts to the rich costing up to US$3,000,000,000,000 which is about twenty times Musk's Doughe cuts.
So many vicious chain saw cuts affecting struggling Americans, many who voted for Trump, all for nothing with big tax cuts to the rich, at the expense of the poor, pushing up the US deficit by about three trillion US dollars.
TACO is acronym slight on Trump which upset him a lot.
"Don't ever say TACO" said Trump.
It's about his up and down yoyo tariffs.
Trump Always Chickens Out.

Israel is murdering Palestinians as they try to feed their starving bodies at humanitarian centres. EFFING ATROCIOUS AND THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED. 
Syria didnt like it and fired rockets onto empty land which prompted the IDF to respond disproportionately as they have always done. Turkiye which is trying to reform Syria needs to step in and stop the war mongering Netanyahu and his cronies and allow the poor, war ravaged Syrian people to again have peace.

German foreign minister pledges further arms aid to Israel
It is baffling in the extreme why Germany is still apologizing for the Holocaust with aid incl arms for Israel as one way of appeasing their conscience. Shame on the US and now you Germany for putting more weapons in the hands of the IDF to MURDER more innocent Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese.

That was indeed a brilliant strategic move by the Ukrainians Craig. I heard those 34% of Putin's heavy Bombers destroyed were the ones able to drop nuclear weapon bombs. I hope that impressed Trump. He likes winners.What about this Ukranian multiple drone strike on Russias fleet of long range bombers. In two words, brilliant and audacious! A day later this time their underwater drones were in action, damaging the strategic Kerch bridge. Again brilliant and audacious.
It shows the world Ukraine is no walk over. Their advancements in wartime technology, strategies, Intelligence, drones, innovations, patriotism, resilience, ... is very impressive as putin's man power, economy, weapons ... is declining.
Trump's finally realised Putin has been 'tapping' him along so another bromance is breaking up, which is hard to do'. An old pop song lyric.
Putin meanwhile is furious at the destruction of a third of his heavy Bombers threatening revenge.
He's indignant Ukraine had such temerity! Europe meanwhile is arming up allowing Ukraine the offer of advanced military equipment and much more money too. Maybe the US could sell/give arms to Ukraine, just like they do for regimes intent on Ethnic Cleasing.
Obviously, the US doesn't care who they sell Arms to, so hopefully Ukraine can get discounted Arms too, without any tariffs or surcharges? And a golden dome missile defence system.
Like Hitler
invading Russia in WWII, Defenders have several important advantages, like Britain in WWII, and they are smart like the Brits and Yanks in WWII. The US troops in WWII distinguished themselves many times nobly fighting, with great losses, to free Europe from Hitler's tyranny.A very Noble and highly respected US "then".
