Trump s best defence, at least in the court of public opinion rather than the Star Chamber of the US Senate, is the coup in Myanmar.
What the Democrats are asking us to believe is that a man who can make billions in his lifetime, reboot the US economy, organise peace deals in the ME, get more people out to vote for him than any other Republican candidate ever, organise a new vaccine in less than 12 months etc. etc. can t properly organise a coup.
Anyone who has followed Trump s business career knows that while he can often appear chaotic, he actually runs a highly successful commercial ecosystem where employees and consultants compete to give him the best (which is why he had such a high turnover of staff in office).
Over the last 20 years I ve seen legacy media make the most elementary mistakes which have contributed to the dumbing down of political culture and the hyper -sensationalising and -sexualising of media coverage.
I guess like me you ve been more than a little shocked at the Republican insurrection in the United States. But for me it has been a double shock. Not only am I shocked, but I m shocked that I m shocked.

Not just for the car people, but the local merchants and restaurateurs.”

About 20 vehicles pulled up, including hot rods, classics, lowriders, and a 2020 Corvette. “While the official permitted car shows we all have grown accustomed to are gone, for now, these new unofficial versions are popping up in creative ways to help San Diego County and still work within the guidelines provided to us.”

Queensland s newly elected 57th Parliament is not due back in the house until the last week of February and if you re thinking that s one heck of a Christmas break, you would be correct.
Key points:
These will target domestic violence, euthanasia, sexual assault, plastics and coronavirus
Queensland s parliament will reconvene after the Christmas break in February
While it is customary for the Queensland Parliament to take January off, parliament usually does sit much earlier in February and sometimes even twice in that month.
