Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump he does exactly what it says on his tin.
That’s not to say what is in the tin is especially nourishing. Personally I would not like to be sitting down for a steaming bowl of Trump every day for the next four years. The Americans voted him in and it’s their lot now.
But what is surprising is how surprised the US media is whenever Trump makes a policy announcement.
First we had the immigration bans. The US media went into a profound almost anaphylactic shock over that one. Trump had promised it and he made good on his pledge.
Since Trump concluded his European tour WaPo, The NY Times, Politico, the New Yorker and The Atlantic among many others have reported almost breathlessly in musings of the “will he, won’t he?” type regarding the Paris Accord.
Full column here.
So upset I forgot the link.

It’s done Henry.
Trump signs HJR69 into Law allowing the slaughter of Alaskan bear cubs and Wolf pups.
You’ve just gotta be bursting with pride for your man dontcha?
Absolute prick that he is.
Bollocks dear Bella, language young lady you made your humble correspondent blush. But I digress and can assure you I am not a fan of anything being killed and my Princess and I have long been Vegetarians. You cannot judge against any President, Prime Minster etc by one single act, if that were to be the case we would not have any Governments would we as all Governments take seemingly unpalatable decisions from time to time! Cheers, enjoy your posts but an “F” for Fail on this one.
“seemingly unpalatable decisions” ???
Bollocks Henry, aint nothing ‘seemingly unpalatable’ about shooting baby animals for kicks.
Your psycho phony hero ORDERED exactly that.
I do apologise to your obviously delicate sensibilities HB for using Trumps common social media nickname but consider yourself fortunate I stopped there because I believe this orange idiot is the devil incarnate.
He continues to prove that every single day.
Cheers yourself.
Oh dear Henry, I think others ARE judging yet one more bad decision by Trump’s government.

Shocking stuff don’t you think?
Trump is the greatest threat to humanity on the planet. Oh, ably supported by a couple of simpleton Qld’ers.
My my we are such a mature little man. Still paying those private school fee’s?

Looter Andrew Robb’s part-time consultancy with Chinese firm Landbridge earns him – wait for it – $880,000 a year. No wonder he pissed off when he wasted $20million on the failed Trans Pacific Trade deal…he knew darned well it would be a fizzer! Ian ‘Sandpaper Throat’ McFarlane did the same,,,pissed off from parliament…on a million a year with some mining consultancy…talk about a conflict of interest. Ferrgo ditto! This should NOT be allowed. How about a FIVE year wait before they do this stuff….and also they can draw on their supa as well!
Maybe you should join the Communist Party dear BASSMAN you have swung hard left my dear fellow! Cheers.
One of the most significant cultural exports of China will be bribery and corruption.
That has been the modus operandi of the place for decades.
I am particularly curious about the sale of Darwin harbour – it just does not sit right.
The other question I have is why did Labor walk away from a FTA with China and the Libs signed up.
Is the FTA still a secret?
That should read “contents of the FTA”
we was robb ed
Yeah, in light of the latest revelations, the Darwin thing has a bad smell about it ……….
Conroy on yerlist
Agree Bassy. That disclosure re Andrew Robb was most disturbing. Not to mention Dastyari once again in the spotlight – but back in parliament already, isn’t he?
He never left the Senate, but he’s back as the Deputy Shadow Whip in the Senate.
It strikes me that at least he was pulled up before any relationships with the Chinese turned truly corrupt.
Andrew Robb’s Amakudari looks truly worrisome, though – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolving_door_(politics)#Japan.
Hehe, fair comment, Rhys.
Must say that bizarre incident where the mayor of Ipswich was caught trying to escape Qld with $50k in hard cash was hilarious. So many on the take it would seem.
Qatar….interest piqued
Somebody probably wants all their gas Smoke.
sigh… had to happen

Yep – we do not import terrorists with immigration!
Just another failed crim looking for a headline.
That’s what lone wolf terrorists usually are, Dismayed. They are still terrorists out to kill innocent people.
Another one bites the dust JTI with the passing of John K “know all” Watts, a West Aussie footy legend, who managed to snag a flag in his first of three years with Geelong.
He had over 270 games in all with my old team East Perth in the WAFL, Geelong and as captain coach of Hobart in the TFL. Better still were his 13 interstate games for WA, where his pugilistic skills preceded a protege in mad Mal Brown.
JK thought he could sing, with a couple of tragic melodies getting a run on Perth radio who were obviously desperate. He did however have a long post footy career in radio,,and let me say he would not get away with what he did these days. One lasting legacy is the Geelong theme song which JK wrote.
He started life as a copper in Perth and worked with my mad Irish cousin by marriage. They were their own bosses back in the sixties!

Clive should stick to his books and poetry. Because he is just about on his death bed which I am not happy about, he remains a funny man as can be verified by his latest piece in The Oz. I am prepared to give him some latitude. But…he is RONG! Strange though-Clive accepts the science that is prolonging his life with every fibre left in his body but has no confidence in 99% of the world’s scientists who agree that the earth is warming at an alarming rate, most of it caused by Mankind.
Mentioned below is a link put up by John the Baptist. It relates to near death experiences and what people believe in/don’t believe in as they approach ‘end time’. Clive satisfies all the criteria mentioned.

As sad as London is, it will give an electoral boost to T.May and possibly M.Turnbull. Something he would pray for a few days before an election. The Looters are like that, sadly. The Liberals here will milk this for anything they can get out of it. Just as they do with demonising refugees. I read today Dutts refuses a woman and her 3 children a visa to attend her husband’s funeral who has died at the tender age of 30 odd. Scum Morrison did the same thing. Looters, especially Dutts, seem to feed on peoples’ misery.
Do you seriously believe the MT would pray for a terrorist attack on Australian soil? You are in need of serious help Bassy.
Dear BASSMAN must have “inhaled” something of late, Razor, his comments becoming quite “shrill” and Left leaning of late! Cheers
…well son sorry to disappoint you, U don’t understand The Looters. If you look at them…blokes like Howard, blokes like Turnbull and Abbott would sell their grandmothers (arses) for votes. They think nothing of deporting refugees to places where they could face death. Now I am not saying Turnbull would wish anybody injured. No, he would just wish an electoral bounce off any even rumoured attack as Howard did re 9/11.
Dutton doesn’t mind abandoning people. He has form on this…Reza (23yrs, murdered), Hamid (24yrs, skin infection-ill for weeks. Dutton refused him medical assistance.), Omid Rakib (24, heart attack, no evacuation to a hospital by Dutton after multiple pleas), Kamil ( 34yrs, drowned), Fazel (27yrs, found dead under suspicious circumstances) Mohammed (27yrs beaten to death in solitary confinement). All refugees who have died in Australian detention centres since 2014 under the Looters.
Of course we have the torture of Cornelia Rau, the ‘deportation’ of Vivian Solon who after all was found to be an Australian citizen and had to be brought home ($2million in compensation), the $7million wasted on trying to verbal the innocent Haneef. No mate, this mob have form regarding cruelty and using forlorn souls as election fodder. Given the same circumstances Shorten may do the same.
Don’t vote for them.
Bassy,
If we are going down that line….what about the young people killed under Labors batts fiasco?
Obviously U missed my long post on that….go back to the last blog. Over 450 people died under Howard, industrial accidents…no Royal Commissions or investigations into them. The deaths were caused by greedy batt installers who did not train their employees and disregarded state safety laws. Nothing to do with Rudd although I did criticise him in that post…go back and read it…too long to repost here.
Maybe an unfortunate turn of phrase there Bassy? Nobody would wish terrorism on anyone. It is horrific, and lets all hope that we manage to thwart these evil bastards here
You need to read my post carefully…I said Turnbull wld not wish anybody injured. Just the threat or rumour of a terrorist attack wld suit him nicely at election time.
the cons have a history of cheering on desperate acts to further their own political agenda. Have you been to an optometrist in the last 20 years? Your “vision” is clearly flawed.
Dismal…..the Cons……you mean like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and the boys!
Well here’s one persons opinion on what should be done to combat Islamic terrorism:

Yeah right, of course! It’s that simple.

Lock them up too, or deport them. You should stay indoors too, just to be on the safe side.
What! The Saudis? Yer dreamin’.
