Let’s wait and see what happens
Custard, you’re a good bloke, although you trusted Cory Bernardi more than I did.
How long do we have to wait? There needs to be a time limit on this. And it’s a good idea to have a clear notion of what it would take for you to abandon Q type stuff. If there’s nothing that would make you give up on Q, you’ve been sucked in to a cult.

There is no way on earth Donald J Trump would hand over the keys to the WH to a demented pervert who cheated in the 2020 election.But he did, no matter what lens you ask me to look through.
There was an inauguration ceremony. Biden took the oath of office. He is the President.
Certainly he is a senile, corrupt puppet but he IS the President of the USA. Since the office was established in 1789, 45 men have served in 46 presidencies, Biden being the 46th.
No amount of wishin’ an hopin’ changes that reality.Spend your energies on convincing people to get a Trump wave going for the next Presidential election.

The human races battle for survival on this planet has led us to develop solutions and technologies to create our own environment, independent of nature as best we can. Houses, fridges, vehicles, you name it.
And now it seems we are creating an energy system completely dependent on variable nature. Absolute madness. Setting ourselves for failure for sure. One volcanic eruption in which we get another ‘year without summer’ its game over.

It doesn’t matter what Custard believes or doesn’t believe.
Any more than it matters if you cheer for “your” footy team or vote at one of these silly compulsory bogus elections for “your” party or get hot under the collar for “your” side of politics in the latest social outrage atrocity.
None of it matters a damn, but mass media works it’s little tail off to make you think it does.
Votes = clicks = eyeballs = bums on seats = money.
The world is full of mugs, and there is a species of scam to capture every single way of being a mug.
Let him do the Q thing. It’s no more stupid than getting excited over a football or cricket match. -

Random late night thought:
Does the government really want the power to go out for days at a time?
People will have to start talking to each other in real life, and not get their updates from the prescibed news sources.
Do they really want that?They want us living in 24/7 surveilled government pods, eating bugs.

Arks – what’s your view of the CFMEU appeal to the rank and file to vote for the “rank” and “vile”?..
I think union members want the union to negotiate pay and conditions. That’s what they are there for. Not to give advice on who to vote for.
Just like we would all like the fricking council to shut up and just pick up the garbage every week. -
Arks – thanks for the reply – agreed.
However, what the Vic CFMEU did was among the most monstrous betrayals I’ve seen in my lifetime.
The sort of betrayal that results in members of the rank and file wandering off the reservation and angrily onto the West Gate Bridge.
Presumably we won’t see that “regrettable incident” included in the labore pardee’s “grate moments in Ozzie industrial disobedience”.
Tails did well in those days. He’s since been denounced as a “vile common worker with an uncouth mouth and unfashionable views about other personages”.
He did not deserve to be treated like that.

I haven’t been sucked into anything BG
We’ve since talked on the phone, and custard has said that the sting will happen in two weeks. I told him that I’ll give him three, to be on the safe side. If there hasn’t been a brilliant chess move by then, custard will admit he was wrong, and if there has, I’ll admit I was wrong.
I sincerely hope that custard is right and Trump brings down the deep state, but I’ve been trained not to believe the things I want to be true. It’s all to easy to fool yourself.
Custard and I both reckon that biden cheated to get in. I reckon that Trump wasn’t prepared for the extent of the cheating or the depth of corruption. Neither was I. Custard believes there’s a magnificent sting in the works. I hope he’s right but I don’t believe it.

He is a very affable bloke
Thanks to communist imbeciles (BIRM) I’ll never get to play pool with yourself or Tails in a bar in Melbourne.
I used to love the place and would head down there frequently, flying or driving, as well as for work. One of my best mates lived there around the turn of the century in Bridge Rd Richmond. I’d park the car in the Hospital carpark after an epic drive from Sydney or the Snowy mountains. Then we’d head over to Barassi’s for a feed and some cold ones.
Haven’t been down there since about 2019 for a work event.
Never again.

Doc Beaugan:
I shall have the satisfaction of knowing I did the right thing. And set a good example. If nobody follows my good example, they have to live with themselves.
Certainly there is that personal vs public aspect and I quite agree with you.
I’m not afraid of being put in gaol for being rude to the government. Yes, it could happen. But I’d be my usual cheerful self in solitary confinement. I’d miss the cigars, but I’d survive.
I’m wondering if the process of baking a cigar into a cake will alter the taste of either. I have a suspicion that even leaving the cigar in its aluminium tube may not entirely isolate each component from cross contamination.

Cohenite:
The spray last night at 0856 was NOT directed solely at you. I apologise for my poor wording.
The whole spray was directed at the Right who seem determined to be seen as the good guys at all costs, when that ploy has been ruined by the Left.
Nevertheless, I do stand by the whole laser pointer/kittens remark. -
