They have a massive debt that is a juggernaut of it's own. You're Fired!!

They have plenty already.

"Communication and friendship" with a fundamentalist Islamist? We've tried that in Afghanistan . I think it's "eye for an eye " time.

Nuke the joint.

Trump Enterprises is the latest rumour.

Donald has done a corporate filing for bankruptcy many times but if you knew about investment in skyscrapers it's often many parties not paying up that leads to the bankruptcy. So far he is pulling back US spending with his rhetoric alone.The wall is an expense ,not a waste.Stopping migrants is a cost saver. AF- you must run a country like a business whether Lesbians don't get free workshops, migrants don't get entry, Transitioning students get nothing for a sex change or whatever other frivolity the worker cannot finance.

Saw some minstrels on vietnamese TV today which got a huge laugh in the Ka-Phe. Never gets old.

The one thing he seems to excel at is running an economy. House,or business, macro or micro the cash is not flooding out of the country for once. i'll own Trump-he's absolutely genius so far.

So are half the cross dressers in my basement.

Yes DC. Nobody showing up to the Brownlow would be a wonderful innovation. Costly also to the right people.

my excellent one liner reply got scrubbed but it was funny .

It is a reality show Macca. Well put. The reality is the only concern for him is running it as a profitable business to the exclusion of all the time wasting concerns. That will help the most people out of poverty in the quickest available time. get your head around it.

Pity about The Age. I had many friends who worked there before it became a tabloid mish mash of mental junk. I noticed an article that begins with the headline "Dear Men,It's not OK to comment on pre-teen girls looks." WTF? How about ,"Sweetie you are covered in dog poo and it's making me ill just looking at you-go shower". or "You look very pretty today darling ,but not in a rape attracting kind of way, just a sort of pure and innocent way that I'm sure will disappear when you learn at Uni that I am actually just a misogynistic,patriarchal ,gender stereotyping and bias perpetuating animal who is degrading you with my complimentary assessment of your appearance and gender". The other articles that start along the lines of "Stop saying" ,"Don't call me",etc are not only embarrassing for this once great paper, it's bad grammar. Makes me long for the days when I would meet up with my Journo mates(male and female) and head to the strippers opposite for a few beers before going out to pick up with my undeniable charm. Journos parties were fun in the old days too.Plenty of dancing,kisssing,drugs and music. Bet the gatherings aren't much fun these days. I hope they have a third and fourth toilet for the unspecified genders in the new offices ,because that's the most important issue facing us it seems. I wonder if they realise how ridiculous they are and how intellectually demeaning they are to themselves. If I had a vagina it would allow me to write some of the most abysmal diary entries about my own perceived injustices and pass them off as Journalism. When is it going to end? I hope soon.

Also liked the tweet; "Obama lost the primary vote but he still ONE" Why Donald and Rupert feel the need to tweet is beyond me.

I believe he was attending the Muslim womens fashion show with BBO Earl. They had to leave early because somebody issued a Veiled threat.

Doing well so far. Can wait till he gets serious.

The best thing to do is take to the streets and rant and rave like a deranged lunatic with a tummy full of sugar.There's nothing else for it. How dare the Americans exercise their democratic rights and not vote for the woman!!!

Jolly good Show!!

My trouble is they alienate and stereotype themselves by believing such nonsense. if they don't really believe it all they should say so but of course the penalty for that is death. Of course I know they can't ALL be hardliners. There is no justification for the recent actions of their brethren and those who have some reason in their heads need to challenge the text or else teach it somewhere else. If I were to preach the things written in that text I would be quite rightly imprisoned.

Dear All, I'm battling by having struggled off the opium den floor with some reluctance. My guide has gone completely insane,spouting gibberish since the last rattan caning that I personally thought was delivered with my usual restraint. But a trader must trade,so in search of precious goods I go! I have obtained a significant amount of bear bile,powdered rhino horn and birds nests,enough to swap for a Harbourside mansion in Sydney upon return. Other aphrodisiacs I must obtain are proving rather difficult amongst the lustful,wanton tribes of Western Indochine. Next stop is Siam who I believe might be seeking a new king.If there is one place a man does not need the title to feel like one it is there.Please forward your purchase requests through the usual channels before I leave western Indochine.No need to request the obvious as I have forwarded a large package of that to West St Kilda,near the old Gat. I notice a travel ban exists in the states which Should free the airport of the riffraff.Timely and wonderfully done by the Silverback I must say . On the G and T front,I have had to head to the Rex in town to partake of a proper one and I'm thinking Raffles might be the safe bet in Pnomh Penh.There are lots of photos of grown Germans holding children's hands in Pnomh Penh which I thought rather vulgar.No need to advertise an economic staple in the modern world. Anyhoo, best be off for a late Tiffen of rare birds- the edible kind ,down at the club. See you very anon. Cheery pip and cheers . Biff.

So AF, The one issue facing modern,secular society is the medieval doctrine that seeks to destroy the other things you mentioned . You will see it questioned and fall to pieces in the next decade . Concentate on questioning what you learnt whilst others did actual work to pay for your impressive knowledge of how terrible the white straight man is. You might be ok defending all this colonialist,capitalist ,conservative science one day . Keep an open mind Tiger.

Well cut and pasted. You don't possess the ability to think for yourself . Ive told you I'm an atheist,not Christian,not KKK,not a Nazi. Everything you've posted I've read before yet you attempt to hijack gay rights,women's rights,fake news ,anti Nazism and every other cause célèbre for your multiple band wagon of sympathy. It doesn't work any more son. The grown ups have decided in nearly every western democracy there is. We cannot tolerate the blind dogma and Taqiya dupes like you spout in the face of Islamist hostility to our freedoms. My qualm is with the doctrines of the Quran and the Hadiths.More closely to home- the Bali bombings, The other stuff you raise is as relevant to me as a recitation of "The Female Eunich at a bux party. You won't have the intellect to survive , let alone pay your hecs debt without a govt grant One piece of personal info I'll share is that I I was partnered to the former President of Melb uni feminist organisation and she was African. We lived together for two years and I supported her through barrister school. She couldn't argue herself out of a paper bag and like you is a time wasting,self indulgent,holier than thou attention seeker with a grab bag of notable causes I knew before I finished high school. You are not over educated, you are just a tax burden. Do something useful with yourself by educating Muslims to the disgusting precept and conceits contained in the book. Argue the unifying texts of Islam and not all the other non sequiturs carp you think is useful knowledge.Next time reply with some immediacy. Try trusting your own brain and stick to the subject.

So you read the whole thread except for post 45. In relation to WW1, German expansion into Northern Africa played its role in the conflicts. Those states that sought to replace French and British colonial overlords with German liberators found themselves involved in both conflicts. Read post 45.

Another thing they can do is take a look at the career of Bob Cowper. Made a triple century for his country then headed off to Monte Carlo to build a new life in the banking world. We have seen enough bluff at our club to know they get more than enough. Pendles brought the NFL into the equation. we don't have 300miilion people to pay for their financial ambitoos and the AFL would do well to ignore the goings on in the US and just leave the game alone, remove the match day experience failures and cut out the copycat cringe worthy crap.
