Is it kicking off big time or is this just everyday stuff they deal with or a bit of both?

My old man is only a couple years older and spends his days watching world war 2 documentaries and mooching about Cleveleys with his little dog in cafes with the odd pint in the golden Eagle.

Not running the world  

Living the dream. Cleveleys is a nice place. Used to live on Rossall Prom a while back.

Travellers rest or The Venue for me.

Is the town still busy as it used to be?

Will have to agree to disagree on this one. I think most folk would feel that Palestinian statehood would take the oxygen of support away from Hamas. Besides, why shouldn’t folk be able to have recognition for their country. Who are we to deny that?

Out of curiosity what did you mean by the statement in bold - remove all the Hamas terrorists first and then recognise Palestine? A nice idea but impossible to do imho. Better to defeat their ideology.

Is this any surprise?

The rest of your post is the usual fluffy marshmallow stuff some of which may come one day. There is a long road to get down before any of this (apart from the imbeciles who jumped the gun by years in meaninglessly 'recognising a Palestinian state') becomes reality. First job before all others is the extermination of Hamas. This may not be that far away, particularly if they are having to fight to survive against multiple warlords as well as a revisiting IDF due to breaking agreements regarding 24 corpses.

Interesting few months ahead. Will Hezbollah kick off or have thy turned another page(r)?

It’s where they’re at. Apparently The Don was an anti vax scaremonger last month. Weird that seeing as though he’s just had his booster and flu jab 

Have you read some of the stuff that Trump & his administration have said about vaccines recently?

 Dangerous stuff. Particularly the misinformation around child vaccines.

 They’ve been in for a shit ton of criticism from health experts. Especially when childhood diseases that were pretty much eradicated are now making a comeback.

 Him getting his flu jab & Covid booster isn’t evidence his administration are pro vaccines.

 Just comes across as quite selfish to be honest. Quite happily protect himself, but then spreads loads of bullshit that puts children at risk.

Aye ... at 79 he's looking great tbf.

Didn't have you down as someone that mocks others looks. But there we go.

“Looking great” 🤣 I think we can agree to disagree on that one.

Not usually my man. But when it comes to that moron & his history, I have absolutely no problem stopping to his level. 

Feast your eyes on some of his comments…

https://theweek.com/politics/things-donald-trump-has-said-about-women
 

Here’s a few that caught my eye

On Rosie O'Donnell - "We're all a little chubby but Rosie's just worse than most of us. But it's not the chubbiness — Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out." 
 

"I am much better looking than Kamala Harris. She is mentally impaired”

On "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg  - "She was so filthy, dirty, disgusting. She was so dirty.”

I never had you down as someone who openly supported & praised someone who mocks others looks. But there you go 😄

If I thought Hamas could be eliminated only by shooting/bombing them then I’d be right alongside you. Don’t know enough about all the other gun waving groups in Gaza, although read yesterday about Hamas clashing with the Dughmush clan. Hopefully they’ll all eventually kill themselves and leave the civilians in peace.

As you say, interesting few months ahead.

Certainly is pal. It's a great little run for a drink or two now. There's 4 or 5 new bars been opened on Victoria Road.

One great gaff the the Back Stage who have live music all time and massive area at the front.

Been reborn the place 👍

(Good for your old man btw).

I'm certainly no fan of Trump, and feel it's a sad indictment to US politics that a celebrity businessman is what they've ended up with, twice over, but I'm not sure you can knock his work on the world stage. (I can fully understand how he captured the vote btw)

Don't really know enough about the US economy and such but is he really doing such a bad job?

Perhaps my judgement of what he does is clouded by how he does it. Horrible man.  Where to start. Domestically I think the US economy is stagnating at best, import “tariffs” (aka taxes on US consumers) will cripple them, it’s a massively divided country (by every measure, especially wealth), minorities are increasingly persecuted and vilified, he abuses presidential power against anyone who has different views, he’s dismantling healthcare and judicial infrastructure, he thinks he’s above the law, etc etc.  Internationally I think he’s weak and unbeknowningly is manipulated and humoured by world leaders so they can get they want.  Painful but necessary for them. They must roll their eyes and laugh behind his back. His actions over the last 2 weeks do deserve credit in the middle east, but he should have done that 12mo ago and saved about 30000 lives. He is incredibly weak in his support of Ukraine and has pandered to Putin. Got to admit he liked his dictators in preference to allies. In addition to all this are his lovely character traits as a bigoted, racist, sexiest, misogynist pathological lying narcissist.

Whaddaguy!

what's he actually done though?

the last ceasefire in Isreal he was involved didnt' last long, and it remains to be seen how long this one lasts - he's not the only one involved and he posted socials of the Gaza riviera, so not sure what he's trying to achieve there

then there's Russia - he said he'd bring peace, so he went to meet Putin - the outcome of that meeting was he parroted every Putin claims like Zelensky is a dictator who started the war - they then tried to humiliate him on TV.  Putin then ignored Trump so now he's siding with Ukraine and offering them missiles

if there's anything he's done that I've missed, fair enough, but these are the two big ones, and he's achieved fuck all despite promising to end both swiftly

Not wasting time going any further. Will just answer this.

Something that that doddering fool and the unDemocrats could never have achieved. Those dozy cunts would have exhausted themselves in trying to recognise the 'state of Palestine'.

Don't listen to the over-excitables and pathological liars who said that he would.

Same ones predicted that the UK would crash and burn after Brexit. They then elected Labour to try to make their prediction come true.

If that's as far as you intellect will allow you to go.

At the very least you could give him credit for being a conduit and it was far more than that.

I'm waiting for you to expand but you won't 

a conduit for what?

thinking about it, I'll say well done in getting Nato members to all chip in their fair share

I know he was the first leader to meet with North Korea, following his public spat on twitter

so yeah

He stopped that war between Albania and Armenia.

That he wasn’t the president 12 months ago so he couldn’t have saved 30k lives. Also Many of that 30k would have been Hamas. Is there any particular reason you want Hamas members alive?
