Rumour of the day - Trump stole his "Extreme vetting" policy from a well-known travel sites' "Extreme moderating" policy. Somebody should sue him!

My one and only comment on the matter :!:

Hmm ... The positions of Minny and Daisy are straitfoward.

Now need to consider Huey, Duey and Luey.

Not to mention Scrooge McDuck, let alone Goofy!

I like the way the Adelaide Advertiser managed to include the big fight on the front page.

This thread has deteriorated again.

Yep, but you can't really expect too much from such a divisive topic. The 3 taboo subjects are as they say. "sex, Religion & Politics"! Always going to rouse passion

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Yes understand that for sure. I just don't accept that passion has to lead to all the name calling. Difference of opinions can be polite and not keep point scoring against other AFF members.

Yeah - but they stuffed up the title of the undercard fight. It was Trump vs Trumble

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Our PM Trumble has got a title bump, from the yanks.

All hail President Trumble.

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Well not everything you read in the US press is negative about Trump-

Retired General Electric CEO Jack Welch says his two-hour White House meeting with President Trump and other business executives “far exceeded my expectations” and covered issues ranging from immigration to financial regulations to women in the workplace.
“I’m telling you it was one of the best meetings I’ve ever been to in my life in terms of real stuff, real issues being discussed,” Welch told the Herald by phone last night. “No phony baloney. Nothing like that.”
Welch said he has met with nearly every president since 1981, and found Trump surprisingly well-versed on topics, engaged and genuinely focused on the task of creating jobs.
“Real guy and really concerned about every worker in the country,” said Welch. “Solid, down-to-earth, on top of the issues. The guys at the GE plant in Lynn would love him.”

Re: 2016 US Presidential Election

Saturday Night Live recreates the Trump-Trumble phone call.

The scene then sees Trump ring Turnbull, played by SNL regular Beck Beckett.
“I hear there’s been a lot of blowback over your Muslim ban,” remarks the Prime Minister.
“No there wasn’t, everyone loves it” replies Trump. “And we had to do it because of that yuge massacre at Bowling Green.”
Things go from bad to worse when Turnbull brings up the refugee deal. “President Obama said America would accept 1,200 refugees,” explains the Prime Minister. “Your country’s compassion will not be forgotten.”
“No refugees, America first, Australia sucks, your reef is failing, prepare to go to war!” shouts Trump, before abruptly hanging up the phone.

Hardly surprising - Welch was a fellow corporate tyrant (though nowhere near as bad as Trump), and was probably a role-model for the "You're fired!" quote.
