The clock is already ticking and he's an old man. Mid-terms: November 3, 2026

Thanks to @AcrossThePond55 for the thread title.

Why. If I didn't know better I would say that Donald Trump was the sort of person who would say any old bollocks as long as it served the noble cause of Donald Trump.

That's quite the shocking assertion there, @SerendipityJane. I think we must be talking about different Donald Trumps?

The Donald wants to stay out of prison and have people point cameras at him.
All else is irrelevant to him.

It's just a theory I'm working on.

Lots of chat over the last few days, so I’ve only just caught up!

In an effort to lighten the mood, I wonder if anyone fancies naming a racehorse?! I’ve been sorting out racehorse registrations (the day job) and this week have come across one that seems ripe for a cracking, and politically current, name. His father is called “Constitution” and his mother “Temper’s Rising”.

Rules are:

• Names can have a maximum of 18 characters including spaces and punctuation.
• A racehorse’s name must not include the name of a real person or someone who has been dead for less than 50 years unless their written permission or the permission of their family is provided.
• Names must not have any obvious commercial significance.
• A name must not include suggestive, vulgar or obscene words.
• Meanings shouldn’t be in poor taste and can’t be offensive to any religious, ethnic or political groups.

I thought I was being clever in suggesting “Aaron Burr” - granted not current but fits the theme of his parentage.

Any other suggestions?

FYI, “Scrotus” and “The Orange Toddler” are available, as is “President Musk”. Sadly “Donald Trump” is already reserved 😜

@CaveMum
14th Amendment ?

🤣

I rather like 2nd amendment

pleading the 5th

And make a boatload of cash.

With a side order of pay back to anyone who he thinks has wronged him , with particular reference to people colour,
women and the poor.

Anyone disabled disgusts Trump so they are in the firing line of the orange fascist in chief.

Anyone who can’t pay their own medical bills is a loser so screw them. And Musk funded it all, probably stole the election for him and hates trans people. So fuck them too

The USA is FUBAR

What's the CTax looking like this yr? Just that I have family living both sides of the border (literally within a mile) and the English seems to be more expensive at the mo.
I still don't understand how an LA can set their budget a couple of months before implementing it.🙄

Council tax has always been set by 28th February.
The process starts in September
with the final decision taken as late as possible to ensure up to date information.

Welsh and English councils that set low Council Tax are idiots
as Adult Social care (poor elderly and disabled people) account for over 50% of all expenditure now
so low Council Tax means cuts everywhere else

Pickles forced 1.99% but increased the NMW by 4% a year gross
Now councils can do 4.99% but the NMW has risen 15% in the last three years
AND the supply of seasonal workers was cut off in 2019

I know. DH and I are both ex LA.

We had a 3yr rolling budget for our (profitable and very well plundered) depts which had to run "as a business". Every £1 under budget, you gave back £2 the next yr.

Our CT going up c10% thanks to incompetent cllrs wasting a small...no, actually fairly big, fortune on HS2.

Dare we suggest 25th?! Frying pan/fire.

@cavemum great granny is called Baffled! Aren't we all?!?

So would I! I can't believe it hasn't happened yet, that is a little disturbing to me. Where is the latter-day Winston Churchill, I ask myself?

Executive Order 🐎

Covfefe? 🐎🐴

Coming down off the Mount with his first commandment?

There’s actually already one and she was a pretty decent runner!

Which does not comply with LGA 72
holding over underspends has NEVER been legal

I thought 25th Amendment too.

But 14th would also do.

But would he fall at the first fence?

The End
