Like JD Vance, Kevin Rudd has changed his tune on Donald Trump

Australia's ambassador to the United States stood inside the Republican National Convention yesterday and praised Donald Trump's "discipline", talked up the momentum behind his campaign, and urged nervous US allies to "just chill".

Kevin Rudd is being a diplomat given Donald Trump could be the next American President....It would not be in Australia's interest to give Trump cause to retaliate against Australia....Trump's ego and superiority complex need to be considered when dealing with this Dictator....Australia needs America and needs to keep the possible next President on side....Rudd needs to tread carefully when he deals with Donald Trump Greg....You don't think Trump would retaliate if Rudd condemned him as you suggest???

If Rudd had any decency (or balls), he'd just keep his mouth shut and resign.

How the hell can anyone with any sort of self respect defend an animal like Trump?

He's a rapist & convicted criminal who stole money from kids' cancer charities.

Rudd should be utterly ashamed of himself.

The writing is on the wall.

Trump will win.

World leaders need to prepare.

Trump is easily manipulated, so get in on the ground floor now for better outcomes for us down the track.

It wouldn't have been easy for Rudd, but if he wants to keep the job, he has to put country first.

He's putting Rudd first.

No decent person would grovel to a rapist like Trump.

It's not like he'd struggle to find another job.

What a grub.

we call this neuro linguistic programming



The Subconscious Mind: A Mosaic of Repetition

Your subconscious mind, like a colossal library, continually absorbs information. In this complex repository, repetition serves as the diligent librarian, ensuring that the most critical information is prominently archived. When we come across repeated stimuli, be it a phrase, a tune, or an image, our brain begins to create neural pathways, reinforcing our memory.

The Science Behind Repetition and Memory

Neuroscientists have ventured deep into the intricacies of our brain, uncovering the captivating interplay between repetition and memory. Repetition triggers a phenomenon known as ‘long-term potentiation,’ where the connections between neurons become stronger. The more we repeat something, the more our brain deems it important, etching it into the very fabric of our subconscious.

Repetition as the Keystone of Learning

The thread is about Trump (and Rudd).

Donald Trump is a rapist.

If it was a thread about Pat Cash, the term 'tennis player' would be used a lot.

If it was Harry Houdini, the word 'magician' would make a lot of appearances.

However, this is a thread about Donald Trump, and he's a rapist.

A rapist and convicted criminal.

Well, it's a thread about Donald Trump - you're gonna see the word 'rapist' a lot, seeing as Donald Trump is a rapist (and convicted criminal).

Sadly, as much as I'd like to agree with you, Rudd is taking Australia's position.

Trump, rapist, criminal, and man who flirts awfully close to the line of treasonous, will soon be the President again.

And if there has ever been a better example of "self-serving" than when he's in office, I've never seen it.

He only worries about what's best for him, not the US, not their allies, him.

If Rudd, our PM or even sporting or celebrity representatives have to stroke Trump's ego then so be it.

He's easy to manipulate which is why Russia and the local establishment want him back in, and why shouldn't we, the land of Oz, utilise his weaknesses and manipulate him for our benefit too?

The Dems are done.  The only way Trump doesn't win at this point is if he's not running, for whatever reason.

Trump said,

I heard he's a little bit nasty - he's not the brightest bulb.   ;D

Telling allies to "just chill" is hardly supporting the rapist crim, leftards.

That said, it's a sign there's no going back. Without a successful assassination attempt, DL will be the next prez.

Rudd clearly has faith that the Deep State will usurp the big fella's plans, like they did last time. He's been talking to Republicans and those in the know, but do you know?

The world's largest economy, biggest CO2 emitter and greatest military superpower becoming a dictatorship for a day is hardly something to chill about.

Rudd believes the big fella's too stupid to carry it out. Steve Bannon's in jail, Rudy's bankrupt and on bail, Sidney Powell's pleaded guilty, but there are plenty more where they came from. Project 2025's spreadsheet is full of them. Clarence Thomas has already given them carte blanch to do whatever they want.

The big fella is standing by to leave NATO and tell Vlad to invade who he likes. If I was a small European country (or Taiwan), I would hardly be chilling. Rudd's faith in the institutions is just that - faith.

The US is at risk of becoming the next Russia, led by a limitless authoritarian leader with total power, no rule of law, entrenched in endless war. Saying it's only for four years is hardly reassuring.

If I was Rudd, I'd be scrambling for a new job. Who knows? Maybe he can get that UN posting he's been lobbying for for all these years.

We will make America chill again, no?

But how? The US headquarters the global financial system, runs most of it's Hi-Tech, leads patents infringement enforcement, sets food and drug standards, and controls even the most miniscule aspects of global administration, such as airline and flight data.

The US can't be cordoned off like Russia, or diluted like Hungary or totally isolated like North Korea. DL plans to staff and control these global systems.

How do you prepare for a hostile takeover of that? How do you prevent, for example, a MAGA truck driver from Louisiana being placed in control of airline safety standards or a pro-hunting lobbyist being tasked with managing the environmental safety standards of the largest economy in the world?

Both of these things happened in 2017. Last time, the agencies muddled through. That won't be so easy to do this time. I Hazzard a guess there will be no RINO Deep Staters in the next Trump administration.

And if there are, I'm guessing there will be mechanisms in place to root them out and use the DOJ to prosecute them.

You?

Trump is easily exploitable.

He's driven by his ego.

Lay the groundwork now.

Right now, he's so desperate for support that he's appointed JD Vance as his VP.

All you have to do is stroke his ego and he'll forget all the bad tweets, criticisms or whatever has been said in the past.

World leaders need to start doing that now, get when they need form him, favourable trade deals, whatever it needs to be, and just discard him when they're done.

While they're at it, they should treat Trump like he does to those he worked with in the business world, lie and butter them up, don't pay any bills or return any favours and exploit them for as much as possible.

Trump was never the most popular, and his popularity is declining every day. The American population isn't going to forget that he tried to overthrow the govt just because someone took a shot at him. The photo will get the nutters fired up, but most decent Americans won't change their vote because of it.

He's driven by whatever whim comes into his head. Chi-na puts his face on billboards for his state visit one minute, he's declaring a trade war on them the next.

The one guy he hasn't turned on is Vlad. He's in deep there, that's for sure.

You're right: no one in the MAGA cult is going to change their vote and no Dem is gonna vote for Trump just because his ear got cut by a piece of plastic flying off the overhead speakers.

However, the danger is in voter turnout.

I fear the Dems with be apathetic, whereas the MAGA cult members will be fired up and anxious to vote.

I hope I'm wrong, for everyone's sake, but it does look as if America will re-elect a rapist & convicted criminal who steals money from kids' cancer charities come November.

A sad state of affairs.

And for those who say "Look on the bright side - if Trump wins it'll be his last term. He can't serve a third", my reply is who's gonna stop him?

He's up three percent across the board, and growing. He's up even further in some swing states -  exactly like Sleepy Joe was in the polls same time last time round.

You know, the erection he RIGGED.

It's not over yet, JS, but what are the chances?

Accept the facts. Get medicated if need be.

We're going to need it for the next four years.

On the flip side, if America does become a dictatorship, we can always go with Chi-na.

Remember, this time, Americans support it. It's not some random whim like 2016. The big fella has been perfectly up front. They know he doesn't mean only for a day. They know he's in with Project 2025. They know he plans VENGEANCE.

That's the one thing he did give them straight. It's the defining point of his whole campaign to date.

America will get the leader it deserves. It's the rest of us who'll be forced to suffer with them.

We will make America great again, no?

Oh, I think he'll stop him, Greggery. The big fella didn't want the presidency in 2016. He's only running now to evade justice and prove he's not a complete failure.

Thing is, he likes the crowds. He likes everybody going up to him, tears in their eyes, and saying "sir..."

When it comes to actual power, he has no interest whatsoever. Policy - none. His total motivation is butthurt vanity and VENGEANCE.

WITCH HUNT !!!

He'll still need to evade justice in 2029.

It's not like he's gonna stop breaking the law anytime soon.

Maybe he'll keep sitting in the oval office, but hand over the power to Eric.

How so? All he has to do is direct the DOJ to drop charges - something Sleepy Joe could easily do for Hunter.

That gives him four more years to lean on prosecutors in Georgia - the very crime he's already been charged for, demanding 11,800 more votes, which is one more than what they need.

All future federal crimes can be pardoned by JD, who'll get the job when the big fella steps down. That's easy.

That leaves 34 NY felonies, where he'll get a slap on the wrist.

Forget about it, Greggery. The big fella's home and hosed. He'll be retiring in Mar a Lago, with a Nixon-style pardon, only this time the Republicans will be loving him for it.

That's the real crime here, dear. The American dream is DEAD. The Republic has already been bought, sold and paid for.

And Melania, as we both know, isn't moving anywhere. She's so over him.

Still waiting for the medical report that says the rapist was struck by a bullet.

Will you have it by tomorrow?

A simple yes or no will suffice.
