I think you're being optimistic.

You know those internment camps the tin foil hat wearers kept saying Obama was building, well it was actually the repugs & their backers.
They will be used to house any & all that dare to disagree within the 100 days.
America will be a police state akin to North Korea by 2020

And fools like Fred & Cods will be cheering & willing it to be that way here under Dear Leader Morrison/Dutton or the outside runner Abbott.
All, of course, being advised by Herr Abetz reading from Great Uncles hand book

Why not ?  Let's find out if there is some substance behind the support .

for fat steve and his fat wife, sitting on their couch in a durrr state , eating maccas and watching HBO and thinking that the "pinnacle of their existence" is the "reward" of "sitting on the couch" and "contributing no value whatsoever"...things are about to turn really nasty.

Trump is "evolutionary pressure" of the (hopefully) epic kind.

Those who are going up in life will find it easier as the anchor of socialist BS is removed from their necks.

Those who are going down in life will be getting one almighty jackboot up the ass. They will learn quickly to start to climb or they will continue on in cry baby self pitying purgatory , but, for the first time in many decades their whining and sooky sobs will fall on deaf ears.

Other world leaders will see that this "evolutionary pressure" , this "scorched earth policy", this "purifying by fire" is effective and eventually welcomed by an envigorated electorate and will follow suit.

socialism which is already dead in russia and china will die in the west as well.

Rugged individualism will become the gold standard.

Also.....what sane American is really going to stand proud shoulder to shoulder with this bloke as the President of their United States of America who seems to have the personal integrity, decency and honour of a sewer rat spawned by an orangutan father and a bonobo monkey mother.

Best illustration/comparison of that is Obama and Family and Trump and Family.  He is rich and 70 and his 'mail order??????' Bride is 46.  That ought to piss some people here right off, no?

He is a bloody joke, and how he ever got elected has me stuffed.

Probably not daily tantrums we will hear about, but behind closed doors the paint would start peeling off the walls some days. He will try to rule by decree anyway, and so abuse his powers.

longweekend58 wrote on Jan 12^th, 2017 at 7:58am:

I don't think the economic effects will be felt this quickly. Later on though, the economy will start to struggle, especially with Congress taking no action to lift the minimum wage which has been US$7.25 an hour since 2009. This will cause homelessness to increase, poverty to increase, and the promised jobs not to materialise.

He has promised to introduce an alternative, but like you I don't believe he will keep many promises.

Trump will have problems with Twitter, such as sending out tweets to the wrong account on several occasions. He will inherit the official @Potus account but will mix his accounts up.

longweekend58 wrote on Jan 12^th, 2017 at 7:58am:

An accurate assessment.

longweekend58 wrote on Jan 12^th, 2017 at 7:58am:

Also accurate.

Only one perhaps, but I also expect hundreds of people to be locked up as "terrorists" for various assassination plots. Americans will consider all their options including those enabled by the Second Amendment.



Other predictions:
* Within six months, many people who voted for him will no longer admit publicly to doing so.
* He will keep some promises, such as building infrastructure. It won't be enough to prevent the economy from stagnating starting in 2018.
* His plan to cut taxes without a source of funds will cause the US deficit to increase by 50% within 3 years followed by another downgrade in the USA's credit rating.
* Republicans will take a hammering in the 2018 midterm elections, making no gains in the Senate, losing 40 HoR seats and with it losing control of the House despite the pro-Republican gerrymander in roughly 30 states. (Historically the midterm elections have tended to swing against the President's party.)
* Liberals (American liberals = left-leaning) will mobilise to create their version of the Tea Party movement, with Bernie Sanders being prominent.
* His approval rating will reach record lows not seen for any previous sitting President. (Lowest was 19% approval for GW Bush in early 2008, Trump's approval will go below this.)

matty wrote on Jan 13^th, 2017 at 11:40pm:

Trump was only elected because the Electoral College is biased towards Republicans. Hilary won the popular vote.

FACT - the last time a first-term Republican president won the popular vote was in 1988. The only time a Republican has won the popular vote since then was 2004.
FACT - No Republican presidential candidate has ever won the popular vote but lost the election. It has happened to Democrats 5 times and twice in the past 20 years.

Mass public incontinence.

matty wrote on Jan 13^th, 2017 at 11:40pm:


I could explain quite easily, but then it would require it to be understood by a person with more than one eye and a non-partisan brain and clearly, this is not you. Trump didnt even win the vote in the USA and overseas, he hs despised. People think he is a first-rate conman, a jerk and a possible Russian Puppet, even if unwillingly.

No go ahead and be confused about this.

Grumble, bumble, fart, grope a couple of girls and then lay a few bricks in the wall. Good days work then start all over again the next day.

When the leftards and their media realise the sky's not falling; they'll move onto someone or something else.

Rosie O'Donnell Addresses Being an 'Annoying' Celeb
BY NICHOLAS WHITE

POSTED ON DECEMBER 31, 2007 AT 3:20PM EST
Rosie O’Donnell is answering up to an online poll that found her the “most annoying celebrity.”

“I, apparently, am the most annoying celebrity, according to Parade magazine,” O’Donnell, 45, states in the video blog, made while in a swimming pool with two of her four children. “Frankly, most celebrities are annoying. So, I agree, celebrities are annoying. The fact that I am one is annoying, and I suppose I am the most annoying – but, whatever.”

Nearly 2,000 Parade readers voted in the poll, with 42 percent calling the former View co-host the most irksome – followed by Paris Hilton, with 24 percent of the vote.

you find me annoying because I don't support the narrative that makes you feel better.
I'm good with that.

longweekend58 wrote on Jan 14^th, 2017 at 11:44am:


A bit close to the bone.

00 days of Trump
I can see it now
Trump identifies all Australiab politicians and senior public servants as traitors and worthless
He invades Australia with no opposition as the Australian military recognise the accuracy in his words
There is a mass culling of all politicians and senior public servants resulting in the most prosperious time ever experienced by Australia

The remaining public service is decimated as public servants told to work or get out, 80% leave

Insurance companies are raided and all directors are charged with robbery
They are all sentenced to death for the seriousness of thier crimes

AuntieM wrote on Jan 14^th, 2017 at 2:49pm:


If you have a memory extending past 2008 you might have noticed that everything about Trump and this election is unprecedented.   Normally, a inveterate liar would not be elected. Trump did. Normally, a candidate who admits to sexual assault, not paying staff and having nos knowleget or interest in foreign relations would not be elected. Trump did. Normally, a person with zero experience in public office and a record of multiple bankruptcies, scandals and illegal activities could not be elected. But Trump was.

THIS is why there is such outrage and concern. It is as if there was some mass insanity that occured to get him the votes while the rest of the world and much of America says... WTF!

No one is saying that Clinton was cheated, although North Carolina did exactly that. What people are complaining about is that Trump continues to demonstrate just how unsuitable by virtue of skill, experience and temperament for the job. 

Do yourself a favour and at leat understand why much of the world is very concerned about Trump - a man whose opinion on almost every topic depends on who he spoke to last.

longweekend58 wrote on Jan 14^th, 2017 at 2:58pm:

A lot of people have been saying that Sanders was cheated.

He would have defeated Trump quite handily.

What we had was an election campaign that resembled a contest of rock-paper-scissors. Trump beat Clinton in the election, who beat Sanders in the primaries, who would have beaten Trump in a fair contest if given the chance...?

Bam wrote on Jan 14^th, 2017 at 3:43pm:


I think that is highly presumptuous and probably not even remotely true.  Do you think there is even a single Trump voter that would have voted for Sanders? And without less Trump voters, Trump will still win.

The sanders claims are unfounded. Primaries are rugged affairs and complaints about unfair behaviour comes from both sides all the time. Sanders lost, that is all. He would have lost even worse than Hillary.

That is a fantasy.

Yes, Clinton cheated Sander but she would have had the Democratic nomination even without cheating. Sh lost because - among other things - she is the kind of person who would cheat even when in a winning position.

AuntieM wrote on Jan 14^th, 2017 at 2:49pm:


Warhawk like Clinton


Had Trump been the one with a stronger position on intervention the very same people claiming this would have been saying that they want a strong President that will stand up for America.
