You'll miss me when I'm gone.

Who else would tolerate Greg. Agnes has even got her party frock out in the hope I'll take her somewhere.

Firstly, I reviewed my recorded programs and that silly woman (Kate Ellis, as it turns out) wasn't on The Drum but on Q&A. Not that it makes much difference, the ABC being a lefty globalist station, they still haven't slowed down from their thinly disguised disapproval of Trump in their news commentaries and programs

Kate Ellis is a Labor shadow minister and if she had any credibility she would have offered a reason why compulsory voting would have produced a different result, but she offered nothing, and there was young people in the audience listening to her brainwashing diatribe. By the way, that Q&A audience was stacked with anti Trump people, there was only nine Trump supporters, indicated by an impromptu show of hands, when asked by Barnaby, a member on the panel


No reason offered, no credibility, Ellis needs to be ignored (shadow minister for Early Childhood Education, of all things)

Don't go, Bogie. We'll vote you in.

If a majority votes to throw you out, no worries. We'll just shift the goalposts.

Will we include Laurie Oakes, poor guy, tryin' to eat his bit of pizza with his nervous shacking hand while watching Trump gather 270 +

On a commercial station of course, but even I was feeling his pain. How long has he been a journo?

Oh yes, and then there was Greg Sheridan .....

Their voting system was never meant to provide fairness or unfairness, it was meant to prevent mob rule and it's excesses. The original intent of their constitution was about freedom ... and resisting "freebies" from government. For longevity of their Constitutional Republic

But over the centuries, certain amendments, the 14th, 16th and 17th crept in and now there is a proposal to get them out. They are causing problems that are bringing the US to it's knees, however under Obama's watch, nothing was being done. The United States has a better chance now of getting those adversarial amendments struck out under a more conservative President and Congress. The 14th, 16th and 17th were never properly ratified so a repeal process is not necessary I believe, just a line drawn through them

But again, their voting system is a cross between indirect and direct elections, and it's not for foreigners to tell them how it should be or that it needs changing in any way, Americans only will decide

That's right, but they've been advantageous to the usurpers who kept them there

Congress is elected at the same time .... did you miss that while the vote counting was going on?

It's not for us to question their election system, no more than you'd agree to them questioning our way of doing things

That's a sudden turnaround, glad you admit the Libs and Labs are mob rule

The US was never meant to be a Democracy, it's a Constitutional Republic, placed at about the mid point along the political spectrum, whereby one end of the spectrum has no government, the other end having full authoritarian government
