Many probabilities to consider when making a bet, and we can now add one more -
- "Is my jockey intelligent enough to follow the correct course?"

Directed to Fox News by those posting on here, last evening I watched President Trumps pet monkey, "Peter", pretending to report on the Bunker busting strikes.
However, in reality 'Peter the pet monkey' merely called the press conference so he could give a good telling off to any press who had questioned the word "Obliterated", which his Daddy had used to describe the success of the mission.

Those NATO leaders fawning over Donald Trump was vomit inducing. 🤮
It reminded me of Queenie's court on Blackadder Series Two. Just say as many adulations and grand compliments as you can manage and she'll shower you with gifts and patronage. One bad word and you're labeled "Scum" and the axe will fall.
King Donald needs Nursie sitting beside him, reminding him of when he was just a naughty little boy.

And fair enough too. 1992 was a proper riot. This one is a "Fake Riot" deliberately provoked so President Trump can come down hard on California, a liberal state he has no love for at all.

Look at some of those names that Gubellini has listed. A top Central Districts jockey from a golden era of horse racing.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's - "A really horrible, horrible, bad thing. Not good, very bad what's going on down there at Yale. They're corrupt. Very bad corruption at that place. Nasty, bad corruption. I blame Joe Biden... Sleepy Joe. It's his fault. Joe let it happen and now it's up to me to fix it... and I am. I'm fixing it. No more woke diversity at University... Ha ha. A little joke there. i'm a very funny man... cleverest man I know really. Putin knows that. I once knew a man called Diversity. Nasty man... very nasty. Great wife... trophy wife... very attractive. She wanted to sleep with me... but I said 'No'. Dodged a bullet there. Could have been bad... very bad and nasty... just like that College. Corruption and diversity. Marxists... nasty Marxist running that place.. but I'll fix it..."

A great effort today. Really happy for the guy, cause he's a Kiwi boy and seems a nice bloke.

Hedley Jordan is to Race Cafe Main Street forum what  "Old Man's Beard"is to the NZ forest. He suffocates robust debate with his attachments, which nobody opens.

Now what's due up tonight. Is it increased tariffs, annexing Greenland; sending innocent fathers to prison in El Salvador; defunding Universities, the plunging stock market; Hesgeth and Vance bagging former friends Europe on Signal and sending it to a News Reporter .. or what?
It's not easy for those of us suffering TDS.

Covid arrived over 3 years into his 4 year term in 2016 - 2020, and is not the excuse you are searching for Tripple.
Just to show what an objective person i am, I'll help you out here by providing a better excuse for Trumps lack of progress in his first term.
Trump didn't expect to win in 2016 and was underprepared. Thus he relied to heavily on the very Govt Officials (The Swamp dwellers) who he had railed against in his speeches. In addition Republicans didn't have majorities in both Senate and/or Congress during this time, and thus one or the other were able to stymie President Trumps plans.
This time by contrast, Republicans control both houses. In addition, President Trump has learnt his lesson and placed his lackies (no matter how poorly qualified) in senior Ministerial positions.
He now has an open road ahead to implement his agenda. And so here we sit, waiting to see if he is an "all-knowing God like" figure; or a blinkered, vain, self-indulgent, fool, leading his country down the wrong path, both economically and diplomatically.

Don't worry Lee, I've been looking in on occasion, to read the profound views of some of the greatest intellectual minds in NZ, as posted on Race Cafe's Main Street.
I found i couldn't post, so had to change servers in order to have my say... and I needed to have my say, because what a month it's been. As good as I could have hoped.
President Trump has threatened to annex the Panama Canal from Panama; Greenland from Denmark; Gaza from the Palestinians and appears fairly serious about Canada being the 51st US state. In addition, he is blaming Ukraine for starting the Russia-Ukraine war, (despite what we all saw with our own eyes back in Feb 2022) and throwing them to the wolves. 
He has made a news reporter and domestic violence perpetrator, Head of the Pentagon and a loony, who killed babies in Samoa by way of his false messaging, Head of US Health.
I watch Fox News and Republican Senators falling over themselves to justify and support his utterances. Gutless, the lot of them!!
I'm confident it will soon get even better Lee, so you'll be hearing from me for sure.
UH

He won't die of Covid, because he's fully vaccinated 🙂

I think you'll find it was conversion to Christianity which saw the practice of cannabilism cease, and not Maori signing up to  'the British system of parliamentary democracy'

The Treaty of Waiting principles might not be clearly defined and up for continuing debate, but the last person you want defining them is David Seymour.
He's one smug prick, pandering to his 8% voter base and now he's stirred up a hornets nest. 
No one will end up happy and the country will be more divided.

There's a lot of Tongans live in Auckland, isn't there!

Correct MikeNZ
There's a guy running for President who continues to tell blatant lies, yet everyone makes excuses for him, and 60 million Americans will vote for him this week.
The USA is one sick sick country right now.

THOUGHTS FROM DONALD TRUMP  --  AFTER HE MET THE POPE:-  "I, President-to-be, Donald Trump, met with Pope Francis today. He's a really great pope — great, great pope. You know he's the leader of the Catholic Church — big, big church."
"I couldn't believe it when he told me how many Catholics there are. Way more than I thought. They have churches all over the world; some are very, very close, so close to my hotels and my golf courses."
He tells me he's elected for life, probably copying that Xi guy in China. Fantastic idea, though. Fantastic."
It turns out the pope is a lot like me, (Donald) --- you never see him with his wife."
"He told me he's infallible. I said that's great, you'll never have to worry about breaking a hip."
And told me about a Mary Magdalene, beautiful girl, beautiful.
Apparently, a hooker. I asked him for her number. Didn't catch his answer. I'm told he said it in Latin. I give the guy credit because he doesn't look Latino."
"He took me into the Sistine Chapel. Beautiful ceiling. Not the usual white stucco stuff. I don't think too many people even know about this place. The paintings are great, I'm telling you. Lots of colours."
"The Pope, great guy by the way, knows more about the Bible than almost anybody — we got along great, I think he really likes me, told me the whole thing was painted by this young Italian. I think his name is Mike Langelo."
"At least that's what Francis, (we're great friends), called him, I think. Trust me, we're going to hear more about this guy. He's really artistic, and everybody tells me I have the greatest eye for the best art. It's natural, just like my incredible understanding of science. All the renowned scientists say they can't believe it."
"I told Frank I'd like to buy some of Mike's art. I asked if Mike's done anything on velvet. He'll check - great guy. I'll hang his stuff at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower. This Mike guy needs more exposure. He's too much with the churches."
"He could paint my presidential portrait on the Capitol Dome.!!!  Or maybe a mural on my big, beautiful border wall; ---- but just on our side!"
"When we left, the Pope Frank gave me a bible. Huge book. Huge Book!  I told him that I have the full set. You get one for free every time you take a porn star to a hotel room."
"Unbelievable. Just heard. The lamestream media is at it again. Fake news. Fake news. I just saw something on TV. They claim Mike, the painter, died 450 years ago.!!

Sad. I've already got people looking into this and you won't believe what they're finding."
I apologise if you have already seen this on Main Street
