How about the possibility of insider trading for those privy to Trump's illegal edicts on Tariffs?
"He's dropping the tariffs on Europe tomorrow. Buy, buy, buy, ..."

US law is such that massive tariffs are the under the jurisdiction of the US Congress.

He's gone and trampled over Congress's right to make those grand scale decisions further pushing the boundaries of US Law.
Even some Republicanss are somewhat miffed at what the tariffs are doing to the US. Golly-gee, the ranks are starting to break. I hope so for the damage and confusion in global markets that "one" man caused ....

Economics 101: tariffs hurt everyone but mostly the tariffing country, ie the US.

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.

This filled in the gaps for me over what is behind the current genocide happening in Gaza.

That was a very good talk Craig. Thanks.
Callous Fascists to the core for sure, and proud of their acts of evil.
May they burn in hell.. and the buffoon backing them.
No Peace Prize for enabling the ongoing genocide. 😡
 
You noting that Thomas has not been on lately and when he does log in it is usually very brief. Hope all is well with my old German freund.

This is the buffoons response after a recent ''chat'' with Putin.
"It may be better to let Ukraine and Russia fight for a while before pulling them apart''.
A week ago he said he was gonna come down hard on Putin if he did not back the peace plan. And how about the matter of fact way he said that Russia had planned a response to the bomber drone attack, which came last nite with a deadly missile/drone bombardment of Kyiv. Again, mostly residential areas. Trump is weak as piss and an embarrassment to the West.. 😡

That Turump vs Mosque fight is nice to watch. An analysis I read on the ABC had the odds in favour for Trump.
Money ain't everything, it can't buy you love according to the Beatles,
and Tesla shares are going, going down.
Serves him right for being such a flogger.

Looking into my musky crystal ball I see great turmoil in the US's future with rampant inflation, economic depression, unemployment, a runaway national deficit, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, the US dollar in decline and losing its shine with many nations looking for more stable investment bases. China? 🥴 Facism on the rise, loss of so many vital institutions by callously defunding them, Intellectuals and Historic universities being attacked ... so much more. Imprisoning people who wear glasses like Pol Pot did in his killing fields 🤓 ? What about contact lenses? 🧐

We may end up sending food parcels to the US poor. I Hope they like Vegemite.

What prompted the bust up between this pair of flogs as one minute bosum buddies next bitter enemies. Had a chuckle when Trump said he was now considering selling his Tesla. How childish. 🤪

I don't pretend to understand this massive battle between two gigantic egos...
I'm not a psychologist.

I prefer to watch this dark comedy from afar as predicted here in Oz. Where we respect free speech, but not hate speech. Fairy Nuff.
Neither Trump nor most like me saw it coming so suddenly? Wow! OK.
Off you go .... Elon.. .Musk ....

What's the odds China or Russia will say nasty things about the 'Musk v 'Trump' spat? I'm looking out for more of their comments.
ABC, BBC or SBS are my most trusted sources.
Lots of dirt each could expose about each other I read. Please DO, tumble that pack of dirty cards all over the table.. Let's see the dirt ! Lots of Nepotism and special deals I bet. ... even some insider trading with Trump's yo-yo tariffs?

Many false arrests of suspected illegal US immigrants including women and children were made in LA recently. Long time residents even arrested in their places of work. They were locked in a big room with no food, no water and no toilet facilities. It was deliberately a cruel and inhuman act inciting mass disgust from the good people of Los Angeles, the city of "The Angels"

That's how the fuse was lit to the LA Protests and Riots. That then prompted the "Big Beautiful Federal Administration" to bring in police, national guards and soon marines to break up the loads of protesters. Rubber bullets, tear gas, batons, ... arrests ..

The Californian Democrat Governor and the Mayor of LA were ignored and even threats were made to imprison them for speaking out against the very heavy handed approach, which many believe was a riot deliberately orchestrated....

The US is truly in decline, in many ways.

As for the US wanting to import their disease suspected Beef to Australia, it a non negotiable "NO" with our bio security regulations. Our country, our rules.
We already import beef products from the US given that cattle were born, raised and butchered in the US.
What worries us in Oz is that the US imports cattle from Canada and Mexico to be slaughted that are known to carry various diseases and parasites.
Will the New Administration guarantee 💯% their Beef to Australia is disease free?
Can we still trust them? They seem so focussed on money 💰 and ignoring rules of all kind, like China. Even enabling the obvious Genocide in Gaza.
Anyway, we have an abundance of world best Beef we export all over. The Chinese love our Beef as do McDonalds. Thier loss. I love a Whopper now and then. 😋 With our Aussie Beef. McDonalds too! Their Chicken wraps are very nice. Free Senior coffees too!

Elbow Easy will try to have a chat with Trump at the G7 meeting about to be held in Canada. I suspect there'll be a firely welcome from angry Canadians which will distract the Don. No worries Albo, leave him to his rant and rave. He won't be in a mood to reason politely I bet.

The US wants to buy our Aussie Rare Earths.
Happy to oblige with a special surcharge and no tariffs! And not to be used for military purposes! 🤣 As if!
