Hail to the Chief 🎶
The inauguration of the 47th President of the US Donald Trump. History is being made!
https://rumble.com/v6bdyv1-trump-inauguration-live-right-now-officially-sworn-in-as-president-the-gold.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp
yay!!!!
now we get to see all the promises he breaks and who he sells out to.
deportations wont go up.
he’ll bow to china.
ukraine and russia will continue.
he’ll get america fully involved in middle east.
piss all tarrifs will be added.
talks big, acts small. we should call him the chihuahua 🙂
i am however looking forward to 4yrs of epic trolls and media/libtard meltdowns.
You’re 100% right – he is useless at governing day-to-day and he always chooses the wrong people. He’s also in the debt of billionaires from Silicon Valley and billionaire Zionist donors, which means more wars for the Jews and more cheap Indians for Tech.
Fucking people like Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg et al support him now – that speaks volumes as to how different Trump 2024 is to Trump 2016.
The US needs a Trump-as-Hitler to make any lasting difference that will matter, but they’ll more likely get Trump-as-Hoover.
Beware of the sleeping giant.

May you have a brilliant day Mr President and upset a few left woketards!

Garth Brooks’ ‘The Dance’ Is Now a Hilarious Political Parody on Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, & More!
Biden has pardoned Fauci and the J6 committee including Liz Cheney
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCvSDM19LoQ
“Friends in High Places” Hunter Biden Pardon Parody Song- Garth Brooks “Friends in Low Places”
Unfortunately AI doesn’t capture the vileness of Hunter and Joe – it has made them too cartoon like ans less like the pond scum they really are.
The last remnant of Biden’s Whitehouse found the accomplices Fauci, Cheney, & General Milley & some others guilty as convicted felons, so that they could then grant them a pardon.
But now if subpoenaed & then questioned can not remain Silent, under the 5th Amendment.
Biden, a President, a few years ago, found not fit, & able to even be bought to trial to even be questioned.
wg & UsSt; those pardoned will be forever dammed in the annals of history.
How can a person who has not been charged and convicted be pardoned ? I know they have invented this term “preemptive pardon” but that term does not seem to be in the Constitution.
More coverage on the issue :
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/breaking-joe-biden-pardons-multiple-family-members-shocking/
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/president-trump-issues-fiery-response-joe-bidens-corrupt/
Sounds like an admission of guilt if you ask me. The Biden crime family.
Well, the verminous old toe rag really has consigned his legacy to the dung heap of history: According to Fox News Biden has issued pre-emptive pardons to Fauci, the Jan 6 committee, the Capitol police who testified before it and General Milley! Years from now, People will look back and ask, “Do you remember when America was run by a senile version of Boss Hogg?”
Yes,but that’s only federal law. The individual states can and will be going after Fauchi and all the others. It will be interesting to see who goes first. Florida has already started an investigation into the despicable fucker responsible for millions of deaths and vaccine injuries.
The individual states now know they are felons, because they have been pardoned , Biden fecks up yet again as innocent people don’t need pardons.
Hey Nudenut, that’s how you do it.
Trump gave an address to us all about what he is going to do. All his campaign statements are now in force.
There are only 2 genders
No more DEI shit.
The southern border is closed.
Drug cartels are now terrorist organisations.
Rename the gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America
Rename Mt McKinley.
Take back the Panama Canal
There are many more, but the point is, HE WILL GET THEM DONE.
hot air.
like the coalition here is finding out the hard way, they can do or say anything but getting the front line folk to enact those wishes is hard esp if theyre infested with woke and leftist sympathisers.
Well not according to our social finance minister.
The Finance Minister is determined to boost New Zealand’s economic development as she takes on a new role.
Nicola Willis explained to Andrew Dickens that she plans to use her new Economic Growth portfolio to bring confidence back to New Zealand’s business sector.

Nicola Willis says her new role in Cabinet is all about driving New Zealand’s growth.
The Finance Minister has been given the Economic Growth portfolio, formerly known as the Economic Development portfolio
It’s been taken off Melissa Lee – who’s been stripped of all ministerial responsibilities.
Willis says she’ll now be taking the lead at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
“Through that role, I will be making sure that we’re responding to businesses, industries, small business owners about what they need to have the confidence to be investing, to be hiring.”
BlaBlaBla. What ya reckon hotis?
Willy-less is a just a silly little girly playing with money.
Our money.
No clue.
No experience.
She sounds like a 12 year old school girl playing politics.
Nicki Willy-less has nothing to bring to the table coz she has never sat at a big table.
I would go as far as to say she has less idea about economic management that robbers son.
A simple Naivety is having any faith in MBIE.
Another turd dropped on the world by Steffie Joyce.
I’m waiting for her to roll nudenut, she was a main player in shafting Bridges
Somebody needs to roll Bald Jacinda. At this point I don’t care who it is.
Still missing Robertson are you?
If you disapprove of Willis, who would you nominate in her place, why, and what is their track record?
occasional interloper DylanHunt it sound like you have a stiffy for Willy-less
You can tell us.
The simple fact is that true observers note that while Robbers son (actual son of a thieving, incarcerated criminal ) was very bad in being in charge of the finances for this country ;
that Willy-less is in the same category.
This ran a parallel that that fat poof who could not run 50 metres was also Minister of sport.
That is all.
You don’t debate on here.
You come on then spew your view.
Get ya rocks off
coz you wont with Willy-less.
Ross gave you an alternative. A far better alternative
= Andrew Bayley
With a background that is more suitable.
but you don’t want to know that as you are stuck on the spot and cant learn and grow.
Willy-less is in the role because there is a small group of sub par people in notional who have to protect each other due to their incompetency and unsuitability.
This includes luxon, goldsmith, potaka, and watts.
the country pays the price
That you equate likes or dislike of a person in the current govt, to sex, then you have a serious problem, and shows your mind runs in the gutter. Give the girl a chance, or put yourself up for election.
I do debate on here, as I see fit, and when something piques my interest. Such as you comparing her to Robertson.
If Bayley has the Gonads to be Finance Minister, including being forthright and outspoken, which clearly he is not, then he would be it. He might be as clever as a shit-house rat but is also requires communication skills. And dealing with the gigantic mess that Fat Boy left the country in, while making themselves rich in the process.
As yet, nothing he has done has burst in the collective unconscious of voters, except for telling someone’s employee to “take some wine and fuck off”.
Willis may also be a “yes women” for Luxon, I don’t doubt that. ut she is not Robertson, who hid money in every nook and cranny to pay for every crook and nanny.
If Bayley has some outstanding parliament speeches, including squaring off with the likes of Labour, Greens or TPM, please include links. I’ve have yet to see any, and nothing has popped up on the various alternate news sites.
“You come on then spew your view.”
As you have just done. Can I offer you a tissue to wipe your chin?
Andrew Bayley seems to be far better qualified and experienced than Willis, Dylan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bayly
Willis is only there because she and Bishop helped get NN in place.
Willis is only there because she and Bishop helped get NN in place.
As much as you believe that find that wrong, so is the practice of getting a helping hand up, and then turning around and pissing on those who got you there. We do not live in a perfect world; we have seen National implode many times in the past 7 years. Given the carnage we have been through under Labour, picking people who you can rely upon to not backstab you, or put their foot in their mouth, so you can get on with the job at hand has some value.
Whose job do you think it is to rearrange the cabinet?
Ultimately, is not about getting the right people in place, but getting the right principles and policies in place. Otherwise it is about re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
And the deep state/civil servants still control most things, and are able to exert pressure on weak people to get what they need. So someone who does not cave in under pressure or a glass of wine is of value.
So, lets see if Bayley has gonads.
The let him step up to the plate and displace her. If he can’t face off with a woman, he has no chance facing off with the criminals in TPM, Greens, and Labour.
It takes more than just smarts to be in politics. It takes balls of steel.
“It takes more than just smarts to be in politics. It takes balls of steel.”
I agree with that Dylan but I can only think of one MP in the whole Parliament that meets the criteria —Shane Jones.
Making speeches in that kindergarten that’s called Parliament does count for a lot, in my view. Only the political geeks follow it.
I agree that the bureaucrats do control a hellva lot and it takes knowledge, experience and backbone to counter them, “behind closed doors” when required. I do not know much about Bayley, as a person, but he clearly has subject knowledge and private sector experience to draw on.
Totally agree but he is in a place where he is bogged down in the rewrting of lots of regulations related fo the finance portfolio. I would have made him Treasurer but its all about watching their back not picking the best person with the best skills.
I have yet to see Willyless do anything that made a real difference in a positive way that will increase our productivity.
Nicola Willis as Economic Development Minister, Ppppffffttt!
A more useless cow I have yet to see. She will be as useful as tits on a bull and I bet under her watch New Zealand will continue to decline economically. She has not demonstrated any ability or shown any expertise or experience in the past in this subject and I bet she will be moved on when her failures starts to show.
Who have you selected to replace her?
the only thing im sure willis will achieve is more debt, the only way they seem to make the economy have the illussion of improving is making house prices go up even if business stagnates.
i think shes on par with robo tbh except robo had bigger tits.
Thinking Willis is as bad as Robbo, is like comparing Kate Moss to Lilly Wachowski.
Look at her history , she is left wing national so would fit into right wing labour.
At best a Teal
Would fit into the Greens before liebour.
Still, her lack of real world experience would be an asset to liebour.
and would not even be right wing in liebour.
Willy-less
In her 2008 campaign – unsuccessful – for Wtn Central
….Her platform of being “a champion for the predator-free policy”
and an “advocate for the city’s ‘world class public service'”
How can she cut the public service after that claim ?
Ans. She is not, in real terms.
also
…Willis is described as a social liberal, and has a focus on LGBT rights and action on climate change.[73] She is a member of the National Party’s BlueGreen environmental caucus…
there is nothing in her past to make her suitable as Finance minister
especially with a post grad in Churnalism.
and she pushed/advocated for the failure, Toddy Moo-ller .
This shows another example poor judgement.
Hey viking. If you want to get your post approved, do not use more than 5 links to other sites.
He has a copy and paste fetish. I don’t think he intends all those links. He just needs to paste into notepad and then copy and paste into YSB to remove the unintended links.
Can you extend that to a daily limit?
Yer three that work!
Morning all, lovely day up here in the winterless north. Been blowing 40 odd knots from the south east and hosing down all night. Surprised the Brynderwyns haven’t fallen down as yet. Off to check the boat to see if it’s still there. Head office would be so disappointed if it sank.
I checked the rain radar and it would appear that your drought is broken.
That must be a relief.
As far as Head Office is concerned have you checked your half inch drill bit is in place.
a Storm would be good cover to sink Captain Pugwash’s favourite toy.

awwwwww poor bomber is very upset about the waitangi tribunal scam being balanced out a bit.
amazing how its ok to stack it with left wing radicals and its amazeballs everytime their decisions align with radical maori but as soon as they replace half them with non lefty/maori sympathisers its an absolute meltdown and racist as fuck.
you can be assured that next year when luxon gifts the election to labour, green, tpm that the tribunal will get stacked with the most feral radicals in nz and given more scope and new powers as a massive fuck you to our country.
i rekon they now need to grow some balls in the next week or 2 and boldly rename waitangi day as new zealand day…. imagine the outrage, it would be fucking hilarious to watch.
Yep and they pay for it themselves, user pays!
Even charge for their usual free feeds.
A mixture of screams in the comments.

And to figure they walk amongst us, but worse as mentioned above,
If only they would just as starters, lay of those public servants by if their birthday falls on an odd day, then DCM.
A 50% improvement for starters and so if the rest of the evens do not step up, then fire them too.
It is getting set for a good harvest of fruit, etc., and those hands can pick fruit, packing sheds etc..
Then a lot of pruning to be done.
Good morning all. Investment opportunity:
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both launched Meme coins this weekend in anticipation of the inauguration.
President Trump’s coin is called $TRUMP. He announced it in a Truth Social post on Friday. Melania’s coin is called $MELANIA. It was announced on X.
A cryptocoin is valuable because it is finite. The $TRUMP coin launched with 200 million coins but will expand to 1 billion over the next three years, according to the coin’s website. It spiked in value by 300% this weekend alone.
The site says that the coins are “not intended to be, or the subject of” an investment opportunity and is “not political and has nothing to do with” any political campaign, political office or government agency. So it is more of a blockchain collectible.
This is unusual. The First Family doesn’t typically sell products to the American people but President Trump kept his businesses during his first administration so it’s less unusual for him.
Crypto experts worry that this could cheapen cryptocurrencies because it is a memecoin. According to Politico, “Memecoins — a class of crypto sometimes referred to as ‘shitcoins’ that includes digital assets with names like Dogecoin and Fartcoin — are speculative assets that are highly volatile by nature. If investors lose money on the coin, it could become a liability for both Trump and the crypto sector.”
‘The First Family doesn’t typically sell products to the American people…’
I think Hunter selling his ‘art’ and access to his daddy started this.
Trump may as well get some profit from all the items available with his name/face on them – I doubt very few T shirts etc sold with Biden on the front.
More on Fauci’s pre-emptive pardon from posts on The Conservative Treehouse.
” Fauci back to 2014…..hmmmm, why Joe? Why so far back? “
Another poster answers
“In 2014 COVID-19 was gene-spliced by Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina. Obama then put a hold on that research because it broke international NBC treaties. Six months later Fauci finished building the Bio lab in Wuhan, the only class 4 bio lab in China and it was transferred there.
Obama was going to curse us with COVID, Remdesivir and the FDA unapproved Clot shot not-a-vaccine all the time despite whomever won in 2016.”

https://www.rt.com/russia/611312-putin-congratulates-trump/
“Russia congratulates Donald Trump on taking office as US president and welcomes his proclaimed intent to resume contacts between the two countries, Vladimir Putin has said, during a meeting of the country’s National Security Council on Monday.
“We’re hearing the statements of the newly elected US president and members of his team about the desire to restore direct contacts with Russia, which were halted by the outgoing administration. We also hear his statement about the need to do everything to prevent world war three,” Putin said.
“Of course, we welcome such an attitude and congratulate the elected US president on taking office,” he added.”
Viva Italia…
“Meloni is positioning herself as a bridge between the incoming Trump administration and the European Union. Trump did not invite top EU leaders including the commission president, Ursula von der Leyen; the European council president, António Costa; and the top diplomat Kaja Kallas.
Meloni and Trump dined at his Mar-a-Lago residence earlier this month and the president-elect praised Meloni, saying that she had “really taken Europe by storm”.
“It is very important for a nation like Italy to have solid relations with the United States, to bear witness to the will to continue and strengthen that relationship at a time when challenges are global and interconnected,” she said in remarks ahead of the inauguration.”
Life is feeling better already.
The speech although long is worth watching. I keep thinking, what is it about Trump that people hate so much?
They don’t get him. Sadly their TDS the propaganda machines promoted blinds many permanently. Stubborn fools.
The preacher glared at the congregation and warned them that everyone living in this parish had sinned and risked going to Hell. They all looked worried apart from one little chap who giggled excitedly. The preacher angrily asked him if he had not understood that in Hell the flames would roast him alive forever. He laughed again to the horror of those sitting near him and said he understood perfectly. The preacher roared in fury and demanded to know what was so damned funny.
“I don’t live in this parish.”
The men of today are shockingly unromantic. In that entire queue of 1057, not a single one thought to take Bonnie Blue chocolates or flowers.
sounds like lots were brown so i think their chocolate bars were a gift for her flower.

Another coin for you crypto guys to get into.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/trump-meme-coin-has-turned-donald-j-trump/
I’m sure wiseowl will invest a little into his mate’s coin.
You don’t have to pretend to understand economics to realise that both inflation and deflation are bad.
Inflation is currency deflation, penalises those who hold stocks of currency, any currency, and want to exchange that currency for real goods, as it requires more currency to acquire the real goods.
Deflation is currency deflation, penalises those who hold stock of real goods.
Currency is a means of exchange, and has no value other than real things of real value that are guaranteed in exchange for the currency.
The best economic minds will tell you that economies are stable when currency is stable. And that this is achieved by matching the supply of currency to the population size or the amount of real wealth on goods and services.
Bitcoin is a currency that is rapidly inflating in relationship to dollars. If Satoshi Nakamoto was a financial genius, he would not have created a new currency that was inflationary. That the entity behind Satoshi Nakamoto is unknown is of concern. What if his real name was Klaus Schwab, or Rockefeller, would Bitcoin have the same allure?
Either way, that entity has sucked in many people and that entity owns 12% of all Bitcoin. If said entity sells his Bitcoin, he will reap hundreds of billions, and Bitcoin will crash.
A rose if still a rose, by any other name, but we do not know who Satoshi Nakamoto is.
Satoshi Nakamoto is a cleverly chosen pseudonym. Japanese are more likely to be honourable. Hans Gruber would not convey an air of trust. If you google Satoshi Nakamoto, it even shows an old Japanese man.
And then there is the question of bugs in the code. Increasing from 3000 lines to over 100,000 lines to fix said bugs.
And then their is the question of of theft and the A.I. arbitration. If your wallet and the attached chain says you own $10M worth of bitcoin but it is only 49% of the entire Bitcoin validation chain, and the other 51% says it belongs to someone else, your $10M no longer exists and with cool precision, your $10M is gone.
There is also now the whistleblowers that tell you that all your transactions in normal wallets are transparent to all govt agencies, while those of market manipulators are hidden.
Almost everyone is getting lost in the hype or the technical details. Aside from anything else, the fact that Bitcoin is inflationary in respect of dollars, and therefore real goods, is a dead giveaway that all is not well.
We should not be cruel to wiseowl or others, as for now they think they are on to a winner. And they will hold out until Bitcoin reaches its peak, and probably keep buying in for some more.
The fact that the Bitcoin price keeps rising verifies that people are giving hard earned cash at the rate of $100K per Bitcoin, for nothing other than bits (1’s/0’s) in someone else’s computer, all controlled by software that has so many bugs the source code has bloated by 3,300%.
Since the price is never going to be stable, and there are many places in the world that will never use bitcoin, does not qualify it as a currency, just a speculative investment.
And you can’t backup Bitcoin. If you could backup and restore Bitcoin en masse, then it would be possible to restore a changed copy. Bitcoin relies on thousands of computers being online and talking to each other. The internet and/or power systems going down, have a massive impact.
“Ah folks, that last sunspot sent an EMP pulse through computers in California, and it broke the Bitcoin chain. Sorry. I hope you had good insurance.” There is no insurance against Bitcoin dropping in price.
“Sir your Bitcoin payment was declined. You now owe us $XXX. We will take body organs, your wife or your first born, as payment.”
Sigh, I beginning to believe that Rumpelstiltskin was a story about a much earlier version of Bitcoin, where wealth was being created out of nothing. “Spun out of straw” having a very old meaning.
No Ross.
Not a good move.
It’s already starting to fall. I don’t think it was a good idea for him to have a meme coin and some commentators are puzzled as to why .80% is still locked and will be released in time.
Fartcoin is going up again!
I read on Good Oil that when Luxon was talking to Ryan Bridge this morning he could not show enough respect to say President Trump ( he said POTUS or something else).
Here is a lesson in class and respect Luxon :
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/barron-trump-epitomizes-his-parents-class-walks-shake/
Christine M. luxon is a complete traitor to all things good.
You often find that with religious nutters- a very warped view of facts.
‘They’ deserves a traitors treatment- i.e. hung from a bridge.
since luxon is low IQ. the dumb thing will never learn and/or improve.
Who is your pick for PM?
I’ll poke my oar in:
1) Erica Stanford
2) Mark Mitchell
3) Simeon Brown*
*would be (1) but he’s a religious nut.
Naaska, rather than relying on a knight in shining armour on a white steed to come to our rescue, us , the voters, need to keep pushing back so that we get the right actions irrespective of who is in power.
VFF, RCR, goodoil, and hundreds of thousands of submissions on various issues will have more impact than rolling the dice for a new PM. The ladies at VFF, and their supporters have done more to influence the Covid inquiry phase 1, and now phase 2.
People, not politicians, are the key to change.
VFF is a good instance of people power & I take my hat off to them. I would however, point out that the founding trio of Claire, Libby & Alia have kept themselves to the fore, articulating the work & policies of the ginger group. They are the public voice of VFF.
In the same manner the Prime Minister of the country, although a leader of the party he/she is fronting represents the people who elected them & will hopefully put their tick in the same place on the next ballot paper. He/she becomes the party’s human face.
For better or for worse the role of PM has been Americanised to the point where it’s defacto presidential. You could have brilliant leader of men who is a policy wonk without equal but if they can’t front foot the government’s position when things are turning to custard then they are fucking useless to man & beast.
Consider Lange vs Rowling, Muldoon vs Marshall or the horror of a Bolger vs an Ardern.
Charisma is king & Alopecia Jesus is as free from personal magnetism as a frog from feathers.
I agree. Unfortunately until the state of mankind improves, there is always some leverage on any politician. Bullying, bribery, and finally blackmail.
I have no doubt Luxon is under someone’s thumb. As is Seymour. Winston has nothing to lose.
Like or hate Trump, Luxon could learn a lot from him about being bold and speaking truths boldly and clearly. He has already stated publicly that Maori ceded sovereignty: He needs to be saying it every week, and as bold as Winston.
Unfortunately that is not Luxon. And we have a democracy including how parties in power vote or decide who is PM.
However we should note that he is allowing Winston and Jones to speak their minds without interference. A dam sight better than Labour where there was only one truth or narrative, and everyone had to sing from the same corrupted song sheet.
It is back to the public to keep pressure on the pollies and the issues.
All power to VFF.
That was an issue with Blinglish.
He was an excellent C.O.O. under Keys.
like a Chief of staff + handling the money.
But he has a personality bypass.
Blinglish had 9 months as PM
Can anyone remember anything he did ?
It was half the time Norm Kirk had and yet Kirk did heaps in his limited time.
Not talking policy – agree or not -but it took personality to carry the day .
I dont think any songwriters would release a single like Big Norm for Blinglish as happened circa 1974 for Kirk.
——————————
Marshall was a Weasley shit that was pathetic from way back. He was stuck in the class system that did not apply in NZ.
He believed in yee olde englanders way of ‘ones station in life’.
I dealt with him after politics and he was a prick.
As my boss said after walking out of a meeting with him- where he was a director of a failed company that owed us money
“It is a good thing he was never PM of NZ for too long ”
For all his trips to England prior to pommyland joining the Common Market, he achieved nothing.
————-
Muldoon realized in the early 1970s of the importance of television and being beamed visually into peoples homes.
and, AFAIR he did not even have a degree in communicadions from Waikato .
and
he could pronounce his words; and knew there are 26 ledders in the alphabed
It seems those pardons may not be a complete get out of jail card.
That means, of course, that the president can’t issue pardons for state crimes, only federal crimes. Think about that, Tony Fauci—you harmed people all across the nation.
https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/about-those-pardons
The issue is interesting. Nixon was the first to use pre-emptive pardons. He did it for all the draft dodges in the Vietnam war. Johnson use it to pardon Nixon. So two times previous to Biden.
But the “concept” has not been tested in the Courts ( yet !).
Biden has out done himself on pardons (or more likely the swamp, because poor old Joe would not know what he is signing). He is 4 times higher than Obama, who held the record up until now.
https://t.me/thewhiterosenz/197702/298617
NB The comment says the final figure will be higher than shown on this list as Biden had not stopped when this list was made.
So by accepting the pardon they admit guilt and that will make the individual states job easier to convict them.
That’s interesting in that if they haven’t been charged yet what are they accepting guilt for?
Yes and the list of people being pardoned is showing the new DOJ where to look first. Some being pardoned pre-emptively might have second thoughts when their brain clicks into gear.
The evil little troll doesn’t know how to tell the truth.
Trumpy signing Executive Orders in front of the inauguration crowd..
Bidens pardons may not be effective.
Trump announced J6 “hostages” to be released from WDC prison tonight after presidential pardons signed this afternoon.
All public servants to return to work premises immediately.
These are the first. More later in the Oval Office
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ajDCdw-s9o
President Donald Trump signs 10 executive orders
I hope someone in the media makes a list of all the executive orders being signed by Trump so that SB has time read them and digest what is going on. They clearly show he means action and quickly.
youre a fuckwit, trump trolls and you all get onboard and cheer, SB trolls and you dumb fucks get all upset.
some things he will be successful with, others not so much. as i mentioned earlier its one thing to say it and sign a decree its an entirely different ball game to get the establishment to obey and not exploit loopholes ignoring those directives.
do i think trumps gunna make a difference? hell yeah.
is he gunna do everything hes said/promised? hell no.
what gets me about you dumb fucks is you still screech about the vax and poo poo any politician who supported the vax and mandates yet not a bad word said about trump and HIS vaccine developed and bought to the masses by HIS operation warp speed.
dumb fucks on here still cry over seymour and his vax stance yet number 1 fanbois of trump and his push on the vax.
what gets me about you dumb fucks is you still screech about the vax
Tell me, what attitude should a normal human being have in relation to an injection that modifies the human genome of those it doesn’t kill, and causing injuries in human beings and that is still being pushed and the criminals that masterminded it are still at large?
What attitude should a normal human being have when they know of people that died, and or have vaccine injuries?
What attitude would you have if someone kept killing your stock or injuring them? or those of your neighbours?
awwwwww look a dumb fuck downticker gets all upset at stupid boy pointing out facts.
probs the same sorta fuckwit to get all upset at bidens pre emptive pardons but will think its fine when trump does the same in 4yrs time (if hes still alive and maccas hasnt killed him)
downtickers – plural.
And you don’t see that my comment was just a tongue in cheek comment. Straight to the childish name calling as jsual.
You got to remember that nothing on this blog is actually real. Nobody knows who anyone actually is, except possibly those who use their real names and of course our gracious host. So anything said does not really impact the real you. If I came around to your house and abused you, that is real, and getting upset would be an appropriate response. Getting upset by some random twat in the blogosphere is not rational, and is not worth it. And even if I did come to your house and call you a twat, the best response from you would be to ignore it and not get worked up at all. Many years ago I made the decision that no one would ever offend me. It was the greatest liberating moment of my life. I hated rejection as a young person, ( and I got tons of that from the fairer sex), but I learnt to not let that or offensive stuff affect me. Its not always easy, but it is very powerful if you can get it right.
Reading out all the executive orders as Trump signs them and discusses their relevance with the press.

White House LIVE: President Trump signs more Executive Actions in Oval Office, takes press questions
It would be amusing to be a fly on the wall in various newsrooms around the world. They’ll all be sharpening their pencils as there’s so much really important stuff to pick holes in: There’s Melania’s hat, the kiss that wasn’t, and Musk’s weird gesture. Trump threw pens into the crowd – is that a safety violation or misuse of government property? The $B club got better seats than someone else so that’s definitely a sign of something or other. Dana Bash will be thinking up a trademark inane gotcha question and Joy Reid and Rachel Maddox will be desperate to find anything to spin baby spin.
Extra reason to watch Big Bang Theory re-runs at 6pm to avoid One Spews where Simon Shallow and Wendy the rocket-scientist will be aiming to say something witty and just being disrespectful. Too many journalists trying to block the sun.
Trump bigly improvement from the previous Oval Office inhabitant:

You’ll get no argument from me on that WG. I only wish we could find some Trump-like leadership in NZ. (Someone asked earlier today who you’d replace Christine Luxon with, but Bobo the Clown has retired.)
Is there anyone left unpardoned that can be prosecuted for pretending to be POTUS.
Someone has been running the country (badly) for four years, and it sure as hell wasn’t sleepy Joe.
Who exactly was Karine Jean-Pierre getting her briefing from?
I would love for NN to be replaced by an intelligent and strong personality with the necessary irascible nature to stand up for ALL NZers and put the msm back in their box. Alas nobody in the current Nats comes to mind and they can’t even stand up against their current leadership. It will have to be an outsider.
Bring back Cindy. At least she knew when it was time to fuck of, and did so.
Nude nut hasn’t got the balls to even consider leaving. He is such an arrogant fucker.
No thanks.
One dumb mare down, one to go.
Don’t invite problems back Ed.
It’s not so much the size of NN’s tackle as the low cerebral use, inability to read the room and his narcissism.
……”Bring back Cindy. At least she knew when it was time to fuck of,”……
Let’s not risk it!

Can’t be true. SB was saying this morning that Trump was all piss and wind and wouldn’t keep any of his promises.
We know who’s all piss and wind – and it ain’t The Don
Trump quote: “All executive orders will be actioned immediately”.
thought that was the whole point of executive orders?
has it taken trump 8yrs to figure that one out.
I think I need to start a party
according to Telegram
⚡️Trump signs Executive Order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization
Zelensky going to be pissed… ❗️U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order halting all U.S. aid to foreign nations for the next 90 days. ( from Telegram)
If that man ever needs a kidney, he can have one of mine.
Canada needs its head read if it doesn’t elect Poilievre asap, so looks like North America is on the ascendancy. Now if only Britain, Australia and NZ had any leadership talent!
We have plenty but they have more sense than to be a Pollie, especially a Nat one.
No wonder we detest the MSM. The Herald has reached rock bottom with their claim Musk did a nazi salute.
if thats a nazi salute he wouldve been executed for doing it so poorly.
Granny Herald wankers scraping the bottom of the barrel.
While we’ve got the scum MSM in our sights consider this drivel from the Herald. Tui released a new billboard posted to Facebook last week – it reads: “Surely she wouldn’t shoplift again. Yeah right.”
Some humourless cunt on Facebook replied:
“This is one of the world’s biggest beer companies joking about a young woman in trouble, in the hope of selling more beer. It’s called punching down and it sucks,” the person said.”
If the fake refugee pulled her head & paid for her groceries & rags like everyone else she wouldn’t have a problem. In any case, at 44YO she’s about as youth adjacent as the Mad Queen!

bitch needs 501ing….
Not sure why the Herald thinks crap like that will sell their miserable rag.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who declines even their free offers as the cat is trained to shit outside.
Ha – good one!

Hilarious. They paint private property without permission, then blame the wrong outfit for painting it over in Tangata Whenua Brown. And these people want co-governance….

What did Baron say to sleepy Joe?
https://x.com/DefiantLs/status/1881528507479830626
Evidently his comment was directed at Kamalala.
probably something like “Turns out most people prefer an unstable Hitler to you”
Perhaps; ‘Sorry, no more ice cream’.
Maybe there will be some movies produced that are worth watching.
