Looking at the numbers and Donny T actually has all three major investment / Share indexes up by 20% since he took office.Originally Posted by plague
Might be a coincidence but if I was investing in US stocks I'd be very happy with him so far.
Hard to imagine anything positive coming about if Vinegar Tits Hillary was in office.
Oh these past few days have been so batshit Trump can't even get on the front page.
Press secretary going bananas in the New Yorker.
McCain pulling a heel turn straight from WWE.
Trumps over there offending the Trans folk and we're all "shush it Donnie we busy"
So much fun.
imagine the riots in the streets if any nation in the developed world tried to get rid of their universal health care?
where's the protests and burning shit to the ground in the US?
why are we hearing more about Republicans opposing this than Democrats?
why are the Democrats such an ineffective opposition?
is it just because how do you oppose such batshit crazyness?
Dont be that guy.
Horn had him on pts even by the rejudge.
How is it bad outrager? Get with the prog. Trans dont have to go to war. Party up for them they live a long life.

i aint for one second going to begin to understand the absolute detail of this health care debate.
but it sure as shit sounds like neither side has a good plan, but they think the other guys plan is worserer.
again, I'm cheering for chaos, therefore I'm in heaven.
No one is denying how poor the optics are on this administration at the moment, but it has brought up a pretty interesting situation.
As Dunster has alluded to, the US economy is showing signs of 'improvement'. And yes that's not 'everything' nor is it all Trumps doing.
But.
Would the American people vote the bloke back in if indeed they became a more prosperous country?
Would getting better trade deals, fixing the energy supply and lifting real wages be more important than how many communications directors he goes through?
I know which things I'd care about more, but man if he actually 'makes America great again' how the hell do you combat that in 2020?
You will never fix Healthcare in the USA because it will be an inconvenience to Pharmaceutical Companies, Corporate Finance / Banking Sector, Insurance companies, and a whole host of other large and powerful organisations.
Then you have the educational institutions running a monopoly and restricting the production of medical practitioners and staff to keep their prices high......
I mean .. where would you even start to attempt to fix the situation in the USA ?
The solution is more doctors and nurses and less investment into drugs which essentially do nothing other than line the pockets of the rich.
i mean its like the guns issue huh.
the 'problem' is so beyond where any other developed country is so where the hell do they even look to for help?
So how do people feel about the Prime Minister donating $30m of tax payers money to Foxtel ?
http://www.smh.com.au/comment/blunt-...01-gxmyq3.html
It's supposedly for Foxtel to broadcast 2nd tier sports in Australia. But the reality is it's a way for them to exercise their market power so as to restrict the growth of smaller players like BarTV and so on in the market.
Like all Liberal Members in Australia Malcolm Turnbull hates competition and free markets.
Umm how about they actually remove the anti siphoning list
It actually means that FTA TV get first dibs at it
But it also protects the sports on it by creating a bidding frenzy
As a result after NRL AFL Cricket V8s etc have got the 7-9-10 channels cash
There isn't a hell of a lot left over for the sports not on it
As a result Foxtel can pay **** all for their content as they are competing against not much for rights to the HAL NBL Super Rugby etc
Let them compete on everything
See what happens
It would shake things up if 7-9-10 had to embrace Basketball Soccer Union or something else as they had no sporting content
While ever the govt funds it's own media entity I've got no problem if they subsidise others.
After what happened with the EPL and Optus there isn't a politician in sight willing to do anything about the anti-siphoning list.
But what did Optus do wrong really??
They came in and purchased the rights
The bitching coming from those who blowing up as they don't have Optus or are too tight to pay for it
Reality is there is **** all wrong with Optus coverage of the EPL and it compares more favourably than Foxtel use to do back in the day
Agree Optus is miles better then Foxsports with the EPL
Good job by you not understanding the post.
Optus did nothing wrong.
But at the moment fans bitching about it are bitching at Optus.
You think the next time it happens some politician gonna stand in the line of fire and go "yo it's cool that's on me".
Good luck.
****s yelling about what??
Seelriously they haven't been deprived of the opportunity to watch it
They just have to go about it a different way
How they been disadvantaged here??
They just yelling at the sky here
About as useful as us asking Gypo CEO for refunds based on the Jets not winning games
But it's not the governments media entitity - it belongs to the people. The governments only role should be to provide adequate funding so programs can be broadcast equitably to anyone that wants to watch them.
The government could have provided the cash injection to BarTV or a TAFE or a University to broadcast these sports. That would have been more equitable and it would also have been of benefit to students or even the unemployed.
The problem with the public broadcasters now - is that they are effectively run by the same neo-liberal scum running the private sector organisations.
When ever I hear people calling the ABC or SBS left wing I can't stop laughing - it's not even close to being left wing in any sense of the term.
