Do you represent the transgender cohort? Are you of that persuasion? Can you tell me why I can't stick my nose where I want to stick it? Do I need a permit or permission from you? Posted by ttbn, Tuesday, 20 May 2025 12:48:22 PM

You’ve been challenged from the caverns of “Kitchy pop culture”. You dare to question! Shame on you as the new recruit! Posted by diver dan, Tuesday, 20 May 2025 4:04:59 PM

Thanks, Banjo. Another insightful and timely post.
You've sketched out a trajectory that helps explain not only Trump's leadership style but the institutional mindset he brought with him: one forged in a world where power flows downward without question, and loyalty is prized over truth. It’s especially concerning when that mindset is applied to the machinery of a democratic state. As you pointed out, corporate structures like the Trump Organisation aren't democracies. They function as authoritarian hierarchies. Add to that the intellectual malleability and neuroplasticity of a concrete bollard, and it’s not surprising that democratic norms start to look optional. What we’re witnessing isn’t just personal behaviour - it’s systemic corrosion. Loyalty over law, retribution over restraint, and branding over governance. The fact that this trajectory is still unfolding in his second term makes posts like yours more pertinent than ever. Posted by John Daysh, Wednesday, 21 May 2025 12:29:53 AM

Dear ttbn, . You wrote : « This non-American poster's obsession with Donald Trump is sad, to say the least; and the title of the post is nonsense. » . It’s good to see you’re fighting fit, ttbn. You had me worried there for a while. And as the morale seems OK, I guess the rest can’t be too bad either. Happily, none of us are alone here on OLO : http://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=Harry%20Belafonte,%20London%201977,%20the%20dtreets%20of%20London&mid=CCDEE98BF835C1EE5486CCDEE98BF835C1EE5486&ajaxhist=0 .

Hi Mikk,
ttbn can stick his nose wherever he likes, providing he can get it out of The Donald's rear end first! Posted by Paul1405, Wednesday, 21 May 2025 5:24:54 AM

Keep your hateful bigoted nose out of transgender peoples lives.
