CRAZY CHRIS

Well maybe he has a point as reports say there were some staffing issues in the control tower that evening. Apparently the ATC was doing the jobs of three people and others doing the duties of two people. We'll wait and see what the investigators say.

Anyone just heard Trump's news conference? He's already blaming the Air Traffic Controller who was talking to the USAF helicopter pilot. He says Biden let mentally ill people in to the job and autistic people too and mentioned people with no limbs. Rabbited on and on. Why can't he wait and let the investigators do their jobs? He's not qualified to assess what went wrong. This was in darkness as experts are saying.

Thanks for this, Abba Gold never stops selling.

Trump's had a huge row on the phone with the PM of Denmark. She told him Greenland is not for sale and he says America will take it whether it is or isn't. LOL. *Gets the popcorn in for the next 4 years" Should be fun folks...if this first few days is anything to go by... :D

Trump will be too old for a third term anyway. In fact I think JD Vance will be President before the next election. Trump will either die or throw in the towel.

He still should not be assassinated by Iran though. Whilst there's a big threat he should be protected. Am not saying for life, even he doesn't expect that.

Do you have a link as his proposed Attorney General said last week that he wouldn't do that.

Trump is a very spiteful man. He's taken away full Secret Service protection from his ex Nat, Sec. Advisor John Bolton who made an enemy of Iran. Al because he criticised Trump in the election campaign. He'll be responsibe if he gets killed. Iran wants to kill him and Rex Tillerson, Trump's first Sec. Of State. Bolton had protection in Trump's first term then it was removed but Biden re-instated it. Ended on Tues at noon. It shouldn't be up to one man. Should be up to the SS Director, based on threat levels.

Withdrawing from Paris climate agreement.

A great day for the US and the World. God bless President Trump and his lovely family. Don Jr. 2028.

Trump's thinking of rejecting Mandelson as UK Ambassador to the US.. He's not happy with Starmer at all.

Confirmed to now be indoors as Reagan's second was in 1985. The thought is that they've not told the whole truth and it's partly security concerns making it be indoors. Maybe the SS has had a genuine threat uncovered. Easier to search and scan everyone going inside.

Michelle Obama, back from her trip to Hawaii now, will NOT attend Trump's inauguration on Monday. Doubt he'll be too bothered.

Am waiting for 1975 and 1976. My fave years.

According to Twitter it was a full hour before she agreed to come back, after being told she wouldn't be paid a penny if she didn't.

Most will be insured though as we are here. Can't get a mortgage here without insurance.

The charges were absurd anyway and he'd easily have won any appeal. Was just the Dems trying to besmirch his name to stop him being elected. FAIL.

Trump avoids prison or fine. They were never going to put the President-Elect in jail but am am a bit surprised, like many others, that he wasn't fined. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjdjk1dpplo

Watched most of the funeral today. Some good tributes and Biden even made it through his eulogy. Just 11 days left now. Interesting to see what the reactions to Trump were. Well Trump and Pence surprisingly shook hands but Karen Pence did not stand, had a sour face and refused any eye contact with him whatsoever. LOL. So did Hillary. Still a sore loser but will be at Bill's side on 20th and at the dinner afterwards. Bit awkward if she feels like that. I wouldn't go but she's only going for Bill's sake and a former first lady apparently and not out of any respect for Trump whatsoever. She didn't mind losing, just not to him and reportedly hates him with a vengeance. Come on Hillary. you lost, get over it now.

Carter's state funeral on Thursday will now be attended by Prince Edward. First I read Anne then William. Wonder if security concerns after New Orleans have made them pull William out. Huge security operation with a no fly zone, no parking anywhere near the Capitol and Cathedral and processional route. 1000 heavily armed Secret Service agents as well as FBI, National Guard and DC police. Every living President, yes including Trump, in one place, Biden and Harris too. A senior Cabinet member will be at a secure location under heavy SS guard as a "designated survivor" From 1.30pm BBC News channel tomorrow. Assume Sky News will show it too.

Have seen some of his posts on X this week and even I really think he's lost the plot now. Batshit crazy.. You think Trump's mad....? .As he owns it he just posts what he likes, anti Starmer stuff now. As someone on Mumsnet said, if and when he falls out with Trump he'd better not go near any hotel windows... :lol:

He wasn't even that good a presenter really....

Agreed, can't see either Starmer or Badenoch leading at the next election. Rachel Reeves will be PM by 2028 but no idea for the Tories.

Playing now on R2. Will post T40 here later.
