That Socialist Obama made some derogatory remarks about Australia but I guess that is OK in your eyes.
The only negative thing I heard Obama say about Australia is that our government is letting the Barrier Reef die.
That is quite true. I do not see that as being a negative against the country as a whole.
If Streep is going to use an industry stage to take a cheap shot at Trump, she shouldn't complain if what goes around, comes around.
Celebrity grandstanding is a pain the arse, but really, should the guy who is about to become the most powerful man on Earth give two f**ks what Meryl Streep thinks, let alone be Tweeting like a high schooler who got rejected by a girl he asked to prom? If he's going to try and have the last word with everyone who criticises him over the next four years, it's going to be a very long four years.
There's something to be said about acting presidential.
Celebrity grandstanding is a pain the arse. I don't want to listen to Meryl Streep opine on politics anymore than I wanted to listen to Charlton Heston opine about guns. But really, should the guy who is about to become the most powerful man on Earth give two f**ks what Meryl Streep thinks, let alone be Tweeting like a high schooler who got rejected by a girl he asked to prom? The majority of America didn't vote for him. People will disagree with him.

CNN call him a Russian spy and that he also has a piss fetish - with no credible evidence....
Ouch, backfired hard. CNN is a joke
At this point, CNN is not reporting on details of the memos, as it has not independently corroborated the specific allegations. But, in preparing this story, CNN has spoken to multiple high ranking intelligence, administration, congressional and law enforcement officials, as well as foreign officials and others in the private sector with direct knowledge of the memos.
Some of the memos were circulating as far back as last summer. What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations to the President and President-elect a few days ago.
I've sold my shares and am building a bunker. People have been saying that he'll be ok but it's almost a certainty he will have a negative affect all round.
My bad.
So CNN is fake news
Buzzfeed is garbage
Got it
You know that CNN didn't report on the contents on the dossier specifically because they could not verify it? All they said was the document alleged that Russia had compromising personal and financial knowledge of Trump. That seems pretty newsworthy to me, and according to their sources the information was credible. Why shouldn't they run the story?
Buzzfeed were the ones who leaked the full document.
From Tuesday...
From Zero Hedge -
In a fascinating retort by the left-leaning NYT to the story of the day, namely the CNN-BuzzFeed narrative based on an unverified 35-page memo allegedly prepared by a UK intelligence officer, even "the paper of record" takes the two media outlets to town, and in an article titled "BuzzFeed Posts Unverified Claims on Trump, Stirring Debate" essentially accuses them of doing what CNN has accused so much of the 'alternative media' in doing when distributing "fake news."
Here are the key excerpts:
The reports by CNN and Buzzfeed sent other news organizations, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, scrambling to publish their own articles, some of which included generalized descriptions of the unverified allegations about Mr. Trump. By late Tuesday, though, only BuzzFeed had published the full document.
BuzzFeed’s decision, besides its immediate political ramifications for a president-elect who is to be inaugurated in 10 days, was sure to accelerate a roiling debate about the role and credibility of the traditional media in today’s frenetic, polarized information age.
But CNN declined to include the specific allegations contained in the dossier — such as collusion between Mr. Trump’s team and Russian operatives — saying that its journalists could not independently verify them.
Roughly an hour later, BuzzFeed, in a break from typical journalistic practice, posted the document that fully detailed the unverified allegations to which CNN had alluded.
CNN also called Brietbart “the most prominent platform” for the Nazi salute and for “the white supremacists in this country.”
CNN has also been reporting attacks by 'Trump supporters', but somehow the retractions when proven false never get the same coverage.
I think the most apparent effect will be a massive increase in the wealth of the Trump family.
Kickbacks for government contracts awarded, special deals for Trump interests in foreign countries, that sort of thing.
I think it's highly likely he will overstep somewhere and be impeached. So he then just resigns and goes to live in the Bahamas.
I don't know if any of you have ever worked in the USA. I did many years ago. During the Vietnam War. America is a land of vast wealth and great opportunity. It will flourish under Trump who will take away all the regulations and treaties that are holding it back, provide jobs and lower prices .
