Trump: The Art of the Deal

You are none of these things. You've been so easily manipulated into believing trans people are a problem, when it's people like Trump just creating a distraction from their actions by targeting a minority. Hitler did the same thing with Jews during WW2.

Yes Jake, government transparency is "mischief" and "shenanigans". Jake has clearly been to the school of horse race political journalism. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
David Pocock causing mischief in the senate, pushing for transparency
Jake Evans profile image
By Jake Evans

There are some senate shenanigans afoot likely to anger the federal government, with David Pocock putting pressure on Labor to release a review that has been kept secret for more than a year.

The Coalition, Greens and crossbench are expected to back Pocock's motion to give them an extra five questions every Question Time, until that secret report is published.

A review into 'jobs for mates' by the former public service commissioner Lynelle Briggs was expected to be released in late 2023.

It was intended to "respond to concerns about transparency" of board appointments by the government, and propose a fix.

Nearly two years on, it is still unpublished.

Labor has been under scrutiny over its commitment to transparency, with the secrecy surrounding this report one of the key criticisms from senators across the parties.

So you're calling the more than 25 MDs and PhDs that conducted and reviewed the clinical study liars? An MD is 4 years full time study, a PhD is 7 years full time study. Next time you're at your doctor (who has an MD), ask them if they believe the results of clinical studies.

A total of 43,548 participants underwent randomization, of whom 43,448 received injections: 21,720 with BNT162b2 and 21,728 with placebo. There were 8 cases of Covid-19 with onset at least 7 days after the second dose among participants assigned to receive BNT162b2 and 162 cases among those assigned to placebo; BNT162b2 was 95% effective in preventing Covid-19 (95% credible interval, 90.3 to 97.6).

Sophie was a software developer too before there was such a thing as a backend developer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_BAS...
Sophie Wilson developed the implementations of BASIC at Acorn. [9] The dialect on the BBC Microcomputer became compatible with Microsoft BASIC and so was acceptable to the BBC. It already had features from the ALGOL 60 group of computer languages that Wilson added to enable some structured programming methodology to be used.

Crumb Maiden

A person (Male or Female) who works to maintain power structures (Typically gendered power structures) which hurt them and/or their community in the hope that they can gather some small residual benefit

@AmyRemeikis Nov 30, 2021

At some point, we also have to have a reckoning of the crumb maidens, who uphold the power structures, actively bully or encourage their worst aspects, so they continue to benefit from the crumbs of those power structures. Until they don't.

DARVO
Acronym for a common strategy of abusers

DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, reverse victim & offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

Process
DARVO is a tactic used by a perpetrator to avoid accountability for their actions. As the acronym suggests, DARVO commonly involves these steps:

Putin would be impressed with your response. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whatabo...
In 1978, Australian journalist Michael Bernard wrote a column in The Age applying the term whataboutism to the Soviet Union's tactics of deflecting any criticism of its human rights abuses. Merriam-Webster details that "the association of whataboutism with the Soviet Union began during the Cold War. As the regimes of [Joseph] Stalin and his successors were criticized by the West for human rights atrocities, the Soviet propaganda machine would be ready with a comeback alleging atrocities of equal reprehensibility for which the West was guilty.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whatabo...
Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about ...?") is a pejorative for the strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.

Putin is smiling and Trump is cowering because Putin has just reminded Trump what kompromat he has. Why else would Trump go to extraordinary efforts to hide what was in their conversation? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
President Donald Trump went to "extraordinary lengths" to keep details from his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin secret – even from officials within his own administration, The Washington Post reported this weekend, citing unnamed sources.

The Fins know what it is like to fight Russia. What Russia wanted sounds familiar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_...
The Soviets made several demands, including that Finland cede substantial border territories in exchange for land elsewhere, claiming security reasons – primarily the protection of Leningrad, 32 km (20 mi) from the Finnish border. When Finland refused, the Soviets invaded. Most sources conclude that the Soviet Union had intended to conquer all of Finland, and cite the establishment of the puppet Finnish Communist government and the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact's secret protocols as evidence of this, while other sources argue against the idea of a full Soviet conquest. Finland repelled Soviet attacks for more than two months and inflicted substantial losses on the invaders in temperatures as low as −43 °C (−45 °F). The battles focused mainly on Taipale along the Karelian Isthmus, on Kollaa in Ladoga Karelia and on Raate Road in Kainuu, but there were also battles in Lapland and North Karelia.

Trump’s Tilting Posture and Jerking Limbs
Trump’s forward-listing posture—illustrated by nearly every political cartoonist—was initially attributed to the high-heeled elevator shoes readily observed in photographs. But his torso leans so markedly off-center that it suggests the possibility of a neurological problem rather than vanity. In medical terms, the Bent Spine Syndrome is called camptocormia, first documented in the 17th century by Francisco de Zurbaran, a Spanish painter. The mean age of onset is 65 years (Trump is 74).

Joe isn't very smart, even though he thinks he is.

If Trump would disparage Elon Musk this way, why did Joe think Trump wouldn't do it to him?

The problem with all these toadies like Scarborough, Musk, Rubio, Cruz, Hailey etc. is they will easily sacrifice any dignity they should have for access and power.

reuters.com/world...

The former U.S. president said Musk would have "begged" him for government subsidies, in a message on his own social media app, Truth Social.

"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless and tell me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, "drop to your knees and beg," and he would have done Alt it," Trump wrote.

Of course, how easily Trump overlooks his own criticisms of these people once they become completely deferential to him shows how completely transactional and therefore unloyal Trump is to anybody, anybody at all.

Trump demands absolute loyalty, yet provides absolutely no loyalty in return.
