Talking Politics

Obviously internal polling shows #ScottyTheBigHoseMan is not doing well with the females so off to the hairdressers he goes.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him rock up as a Goal Umpire for one of the AFLW matches this weekend. Though images and clips of Scotty waving white flags around in an uncoordinated way may just break the internet

Where did I say I’m smart ?

I’ll tell you a story for one thing. Nearly 20 years ago I was living in Asia and I was good friends with a senior person in a US bank. That bank brought Bill Clinton to Asia as part of a world tour to do some lectures and Q&A. He spent 2 weeks in Asia and was paid USD 2 million. He did similar tours in Europe and South America. He has been doing a lot of that for many years and to be honest I’m surprised the Clintons are only worth $220 million.
Through links I have with the aid community I know a few people who worked in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. By far the biggest donor to the Haiti response and the reconstruction was the Clinton foundation. They donated and spent many $ millions and still do. The evil persona of the Clinton Foundation is not well founded by what they have done, which is a lot.
The accusation that the Clintons funded the Steele dossier has not a shred of evidence. The accusation that some secret Clinton shenanigans through their foundation was on Hilary’s server has not got a shred of evidence.
I’m not here to defend the Clintons who have done plenty wrong but these things are not facts they are wild theories.
Bill Clinton is of course also the last US President to balance the budget which he did from 1998-2001 until George W got hold of it.
I can’t really be bothered with more except to say that in an earlier post you said Obama invented quantitative easing. That is also incorrect. Quantitative easing was first used by the Bank of Japan in the early 2000s and the phrase was coined by the German economist who advised them. It was used by the US fed in the 2008 crisis but it was also used extensively in the UK and Europe at the same time.
When you bang on about the left as if it is a club or even something that can be defined you are way off beam. The world is far more complex than little boxes for people to fit into.
I’m unsubscribing with Ant
thanks for sharing the story Sin. Interesting.

I was talking to my partner, who is on social media a bit, and she said that the overwhelming response to Morrison's hair washing from women was that it was really creepy/sleazy. He's lost his touch I reckon.
 
If Albo wants a majority in the senate all he now needs to do is take aim at the Greens about some of their policies that don’t fit ALP ideals.

For example the Greens want a complete ban on horse racing in Australia.

It might also win him a few more votes in the lower house.
