Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[Logique]

The silent supporters of Trump were out there after all. This must give great hope to some of our Australian parliamentary cross bench Senators.

Trump will hire the best staffers for the White House, and won't be as beholden to donors and vested interests like the Clinton machine, with their highly compensated speaking tours, otherwise known as pay for play.

See through the media spin, of which there'll be plenty in coming days. This is a chance for a fresh start in the US.

Just think, the Supreme Court judges won't be appointed by a Clinton administration.

I wonder why our party leaders are more eager to work hand in glove with an uncouth foreigner for the good of the country, than between themselves ... for the good of our country?

I know that I speak for many of us here in expressing the bitter disappointment that the Trump Presidency has already delivered. Not 24 hours after his election we see a backing away from the mass deportation of illegal immigrants we all had hoped for. I know we have all sat quietly at our local Klu Klux Klan chapter meetings knowing that Trump was our man, only for us to be the first thrown under the bus of.
This will be the first order of business at the lodge next Tuesday night, see ya'all there.

Dry those tears ya salt mine.

We might finally engage more seriously with Asia. Bill Shorten eating a big spoonful of s.hit and kissing up trumps a$$, hmm maybe not.

I haven't seen this much butthurt since brexit.

Socialist French president Francois Hollande is looking a bit foolish.
Said some undiplomatic things about Trump but was first in line to congratulate him.
His 11% approval rating might take another hit.

Even bankers and corporate titans are dressing up and clearing their schedules to line up around Trump Tower, forget about these "statesman".

They know where the power is... so better hurry up and find more pleasant words than "pleaasseeeeeeee... forgive me. I didn't mean it!".

Trump better smarten up and do something for the masses, else he might be the US last president.

I mean Obama destroy that bs politics of speak softly but carry Wall St's water. Not because he change it, but because people had hoped that he would and he screwed them.

You know, fool me once, shame on you; fool the fool again can't be fool again Bloody W.

If it ain't Socialism Luu, then why was Gillard always sucking up to Obama and why was Bill Shorten backing Hillary Clinton ?

Obama and Clinton are certainly not conservatives......Clinton's lies have come home to haunt her.

Obama and Clinton I and Clinton (was) II aren't Socialist. Not in the sense of caring for the unions or the workers or the plebs.

There's Bill's NAFTA which screws the American workers; There's Obama's TPP and TIPP which will further screw the workers - this time all over the world as well as America's.

Then there's Obama appointed whoever Wall St and corporate America tells him to appoint - bailing out the banks but giving diddly to the people who lost literally all their wealth.

Then there's the environment... The Native Americans and other greenies have been protesting the North Dakota pipeline for months now... what with the dam pipe running over Native American land, over sources of drinking water for tens of millions. What has Obama and Hillary done about it? "let see how it plays out for another few weeks."

There's the practically non-existent renewable energy investment he was on about; Clinton bragging about her promotion of fracking all over the US and the world.

It's nuts that we think Obama or Hillary are lefty. They're just as in the pockets of the masters of the universe as any politician could be. Anymore and they'd actually own a couple corporation of the not "not-for-profit" kind.

I see Kim Beazely hasn't lost his ability to talk, and say nothing.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/33158782/pressure-will-mount-on-aust-beazley/#page1

The ex-Labor leader is predicting there will be a lot of unhappy people in the United States to whom Mr Trump will have to reach out.

"But that's their problem, not ours," he told ABC's 7.30 program on Wednesday night.

"Our problem is with what he intends to do in the area of foreign policy and great pressure is about to come on us."
Some of his initiatives would seriously disturb people, leaving Australia to play some form of mitigating role in the southeast Asian region.

"They'll come to us privately and want to hear from us privately on what we intend to do about it," he said.

"We're going to really have to sit down and think through how we handle our responsibilities because running away is not an option."

He said government ministers should turn up in greater numbers in the US and get themselves into senior policy decision-making zones.


WOW, that is a deep and far reaching analysis, hope they didn't pay much for it.
I think Bill Shorten, handled it better, put it out there.lol

To be fair, Beazley have to go round and round because you can't just tell ministers of a sovereign nation of yours to better head over to Rome and be told what to do.

How do you make the only superpower and the richest country the Earth has ever known wealthy and powerful again?

Theoretically, you could rebuild your infrastructure, create jobs and make healthcare and higher education much more affordable. Get rid of "tax incentives" for "investors", put more incentive towards new high-tech, or low-tech manufacturing and R&D instead of financial engineering, high risk speculation and corporate welfare.

Then you can make it strong again by not bloody have wars everywhere with everyone. Keep that resources at home and them weapons well sharpened instead of being blunted by endless use and over-expansion.

That or you could start to kill more Indians, take the other half of Mexico and carry on with that plan of 1812 to take Canada too.

Dear USA Republican people, can Australia clone your President elect to replace our Prime Minister...We badly need a man like Donald Trump here in Aus.

We will also shift Cory Benardi from the senate to the lower house to be your deputy Prime Minister and some where along the line we will fit in Pauline Hanson.:aus:

 

[Macquack]

How do you make the only superpower and the richest country the Earth has ever known wealthy and powerful again?

Good point McLovin.

I think Trump can make a few more wealthy and a few more powerful and he will start with himself.

 

[Macquack]

You have to give the guy credit.
He defied the odds and proved everyone wrong. I don't think anyone thought he could do it.

How can you defy the odds on a two horse race?

How can he prove everyone wrong when more than half were never proved wrong?

And Trump had the audacity to say that the election was rigged.

Good luck America, you are going to need better odds than 50/50.

Trump listened to the people of America and that is more than I can say about out two hopeless leaders in Australia.

Pauline Hanson listened to the people of Australia and that is why she is blossoming.....Stand by for the next election in Queensland...Hanson will hold the balance of power.

 

[Muschu]

Let's give Hanson to the USA to help Donnie out..... Throw in Palmer as well....

I'd be sad to lose such "talent" and intellect but if America is to be become great again then I'm prepared to suffer.... In fact delighted to do so.

No way...We need Pauline here.......The only place Palmer will be thrown is in jail.

Pauline is a listener and that is more than I can say about Turnbull and Shorten...One is as hopeless as the other....Turnbull does not listen to anyone and Shorten only listens to his trade union masters.

I think the Liberals will rue the day, they swapped Abbott for Turnbull.

Pauline will do well, because all Australians can chose between, Mr Beige or Mr Cream, pick a colour.

Or to put it more simply, does middle Australia, want to be shafted, or shafted.lol

We have a crisis and neither Party is accepting it.

This whole question about sub-ordination to the United States in a sort of broad policy terms, this society of ours is a better society than the United States.

Well here is an analysis, from the U.S.A as opposed to our self centered rhetoric, if you wish to read it.

Trump never listen to anyone. He has never give a crap about anyone but himself.

So he'll disappoint a lot of his core supporters the way Obama has disappoint a lot of the lefties.

Trump won because voters who would have gone Democratic didn't bother turning out. They're sick of the likes of Clinton and doesn't hate Trump enough to line up for someone they dislike.


if Trump has any sense, he will change the way American politics is run and really benefit the masses. If he give them the same old bs, which is very likely seeing the kind of person he is, god help US.

I have a feeling, and this could be just my optimism, is that the yanks will get organised and demand Trump to shape up... and so he will. That the public will scare Trump and his handlers more than the monied interests that Trump will do right by the people. Then he will be its new FDR... That or the Republic of USA will go the way of the DNC under Obama and Hillary - and if that happen, it will not be because people just stay home and stay quiet.

Here is the typical sensationalism our journalists revel in.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-10/protests-break-out-in-response-to-trump-election/8013024

An extract:
In New York, thousands of protesters filled streets in midtown Manhattan as they made their way to Trump Tower, while hundreds of others gathered at a Manhattan park and shouted: "Not my president."

WOW, thousands of people, in a City of 8 million come on get a grip.

Just another example of the vocal minority, getting more air time, than the silent majority.
