We are going through the same change here we have 2 parties in Labor who are left leaning and Liberal who are right leaning however there is also a third party called One Nation which are taking votes from both parties at increasing rate.
If One Nation were to govern in their own right it would be a fucking disaster for us however it would send a message to the major 2 that if you dont stand for working Aussies then you can fuck off which can only mean better outcomes for the future
It's like an NBA franchise selling its aging stars and tanking for 4 years so that they can rebuild.
Very few owners & general managers have the guts to do this. They gotta put fannies in the seats.
We are blessed that through a little luck Trump was elected - else how would this tear down occur? It's a miracle.
Meanwhile, Trump is keeping fannies in the seats.
When the Nixon impeachment hearings hit the small screen in the 70's - a generation of pissed off kids were inspired to become lawyers.
Maybe Trump will inspire a generation of pissed off kids to serve politics for the right reasons.
Trump isn't gonna rebuild after what he has wrought. Hopefully, politics will be changed. Some unknown will come out of nowhere. I think of Jimmy Carter after Nixon. Good guy wanting to serve for reasons that were pure.
Hopefully, this is our future. In the meantime I love the chaos & havoc. We will survive (not all of us) the carnage. We always do.
'Murcia 2.0
Mate, as far as your homeland security, any invaders would have to deal with your allies, as Commonwealth countries (among others) would be there tomorrow, not a few years down the road. Mopping up in WWII and the prosperity from imperialism before and after produced this big daddy "right of passage"mindset. To think they do this for anyone but themselves is a farce and I would love to see Don screw things up even further and watch them go it alone. Fuck em. The U.S. has played the fear card over and over again to justify their skull fuckery and now they elect a nut, the biggest bully yet, who wants to ramp it up so they can continue. When you propse a 2 thousand mile wall it is based on fear. And, why does everyone hate us? Haa ha ha.
Keeping Americans safe at home. What a fucking joke. Take a look at one of many countries where personal saftey is simply not there. And this great god given war machine does this, this and this because they've got their public lapping up the worry.
If Americans won't say no to a Trump or anyone like him I hope the rest of us do.
i thought you might have listened to Trump's inaugural speech...he said America will be an example of democracy for the world, but we will not insert ourselves to advance another country's struggle for democracy...their freedom is their own choice/fight, we will stay out if we have no stake...
and i agree with him...why bother? because the US winds up being hated, young Americans die, and it is a huge financial burden on the US
so the pledge of John F Kennedy is cancelled ("Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty"); great rhetoric, but as a policy it is obsolete...
it's our country first now, just like the rest of the world has acted all along
ps...I'm cheeky? just who the hell is the American here, who is butting in as well as saying his country should be in charge...

U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.

What a steaming pile of crap. An example of democracy? Some example, you don't even care for your own.
Same sentence, "we will stay out if we have no stake". Pretty much your foreign policy since day one, minus the part where covert operations, initiated by your country, designed to gain control, have left a trail of destruction.
Yeah, that burn it all down line of thinking is moronic. This isn't progress. The only things getting done are a march towards theocracy. The main areas of concern for those in power are Obamacare and social issues like abortion. You line up the countries that don't have universal health care or abortion rights
and the list is entirely comprised of Africa, Banana Republics, and middle eastern theocracies. Not a single civilized country. The closest thing to American mainstream conservatism is middle eastern theocracy.
We've never been less free, the theocrats ideas have never been less popular, yet they Trojan horsed their Stone Age thinking like a parasite on the belly of a populist who appealed to the growing idiocracy and now think they have a mandate. The Republicans haven't elected a president in nearly 40 years not born a millionaire. It's absurd. Silver-spooned fake tough guys talking strong and fools lapping it up.
By the way, I wasn't referring to Roger despite him being quoted by limitless. I don't put him in that camp even if I a disagree with him occasionally. He's a reasonable guy. His interest is always more financial. Guys like him and sanlmar aren't cheerleaders for Trump, just optimistic that maybe something positive might emerge systemically from Trump. I'm simply pessisimistic that he has the ability to accomplish any of that, while being convinced his underlings will have much more success with their Christian Dominionist goals.

lots of truth there...you're more sanguine than me
but the question I asked a while back, to which only Barry hazarded a response: "Why did so many people vote for Trump?"
my thinking: fed up persons that believe they can no longer realize the American dream of having a better life than one's parents
here are the specifics:
allowing illegals to burden the country socially & economically, subsidizing the lifestyle of foreigners plus allowing 2.8 million good paying US manufacturing jobs to go to China after allowing them to enter WTO in 2001...
the benefits of free trade have not been distributed fairly in their mind, thus protectionism and reducing government service to illegals score well with the Trump voter
those that voted Trump are pissed and want their needs taken care of now...
years of mismanagement has led to the Donald...
btw...I live in California, I voted only for the propositions and 2 candidates...in my mind the propositions give the citizens the clearest way to direct government, and I respect of why the proposition process exists: it came about in response to decades of political corruption by chiefly the Southern Pacific Railroad -- -my vote for president was meaningless (California was preset Clinton), and I voted for 1 friend running for office another (he lost)
