After this's all over, I hope the U.S. gov't bills Trump for the damage he's done to our reputation

[Chankgeez]

Well, at least we've established that Trump is not a very good public speaker.

[D.o.S.]

Also that he apparently believes Fredrick Douglas is still alive.

I still can't bring myself to watching his "speech". Sigh.


That's really fucked up about Australia, I had no idea. Admittedly I know very little about most other countries stances on things like immigration, so that's sad to hear. Seems like Trump and your PM would get along great, but I guess not huh. Fucking assholes.

To be fair to our current PM, it is a massive shitstorm that he inherited that is the fundamental failing of the previous four governments to address seriously. Basically he two major parties employ it as a scapegoat to take the heat off of the fact that they arent really doing shit in Parliament oter than make life sweet for themselves sonce they privitised the nation. In addition to the fact that since the exit of John Howard ALL australian politicians have become sycophantic slaves to the polls and the whim of the public, it seems that these poor people caught up in the mess of trying to leave war and famine behind have become human tennis balls in the most disgusting game of political tennis the nation has ever seen.
But also, to be fair to out current PM, he should have had the balls to axe his loathsome and spineless cabinet, cleaned up shop and caught parliament up to the 21st century, instead of having to tolerate the closet PW Botha fans and keep wheeling the same old meat and potato racism and class division out to the Australian people.

On the subject of Trumps's statements there, did he ACTUALLY say that at an event for BLACK HISTORY MONTH?
Jesus Christ, like, i know we only have Naidoc week and our history is terrible, but fuck me, that is unthinkably tasteless and without a modicum of tact.

Kellyanne Conway is apparently pulling a page from the Borat playbook:

The math is questionable/wrong but it's hilarious.

Yeah, there's about, what, 5 Million refugees?
At the very least, it'd be a 1 in 5 million chance, but it's probably somewhere in the high thousands, if we're being honest about people and violence.

[Mudfuzz]

it's funny you know, no one ever talks about not doing or stopping things that cause refugees...

[jrfox92]

it's funny you know, no one ever talks about not doing or stopping things that cause refugees...

That's because the only thing that might stop refugees would be total invasion of Iraq and Syria.
If we did that, Russia might pull out, which would address the whole bombing civilians thing, but it's more likely we'd end up in a completely FUBAR'd war with ISIS on one side and Russia/Assad on the other.
So, it'd look about the same as it does now, just with a bunch of dead Americans to top it off.

that's not exactly where I was going… I'm talking about how our [the west] interference in the first place gets these things going...

Yeah, I mean, it's our fault this is happening in the first place.
But, there's no way the public would accept doing that shit again, either.
Not unless ISIS set off a nuke, or something.
