Reckon it might be too late for that. I think they'll whizz by us and instead visit next door where they can chat sensibly to Matt Damon and Kevin Sheedy's martians.

I watched the full Trump presser on Sky tonight

Leigh Sales getting taken to task, and quickly backs down, over her "outrage" that the press aren't allowed to spread lies
Especially seeing the ABC had it up on their website as well!

No matter what happens in the next 4/8 years, Trumps supporters will go on about how great he has been and how he has made America "great again". On the other hand, people who already have made up their mind that Trump is horrible will be saying he is the worst President ever

Bullshit. I just spoke to my mexican friend and he said Trump will be great for America. Granted hes a wall contractor and apparently just won some big contract, but I think he would have a balanced opinion on the matter.

The voters in the Rustbelt states that looked to Trump to bring back their jobs etc will ultimately be the ones who judge whether he 'made America great again.' Trump certainly has his work cut out for him on at least that front, given that protectionism policies doesn't work.

It's hilarious that they think a Republican billionare will be the one to halt the increasing funnelling of general wealth into the hands of the elite.

Hold on, you think economic socialism is responsible for distributing wealth to the top?

There hasn't been an economic socialist in charge of the US for over three decades.

As expected Trump has signed the order to pull out of the TPP deal. Although really it probably wouldnt make it through congress anyway. Still he said he would do this and its done.

The easy stuff to follow through on are things that require executive orders, where he only needs a biro and doesn't have to deal with congress. Some of his other promises won't be so easy to implement.

I have seen the article floating around and I get the point its making but its really irrelevant because if there were 7 women standing around and it gets signed it's the same result.

At the end of the day the abortion order was signed.
