    No, i don't support that. Especially deporting people with mental illness. This happened recently around here also: Man with bipolar disorder deported to Netherlands after living in Canada for 58 years

    I think it's disgusting.

    No, he isn't some scheming machiavellian.

    He is however a gifted salesman, which is why taking contradiction positions doesn't hurt him like it would the average politician.

    I feel like people in houses like yours, as lovely and glassy as they are, shouldn't be that casual about stone throwing.

    If someone disagrees with me they have no sense of history, etc. because I say so.
    Is that the line of reasoning and argument because if so it is sorely lacking.

    Trump at his press briefing today:

    “I can only speak for myself.”

    Translation: “I am currently deciding who is going to be the fall guy to make this go away.”

    No. Leoluca's idea of over two decades of Putin supporting Trump betrays a lack of historical knowledge.
    Your idea is just made up.
    But that wasn't the point of my post. The point was that adding whacky theories now does a disservice to the quest for truth.

    Whacky?

    I'm honestly curious...

    So you don't believe Russia, and every major power for that matter, works to flip people in rival nations? That they look for people with vulnerabilities that they can exploit, cultivating that dynamic for years in many cases? That money is often the lever they use in these operations? Really? Or is it the 20 year figure in particular?

    It makes me appreciate our system so much more, because they're literally the posterchildren for bad public policy. And then they look at strikes and go "so backwards", chuckling to themselves with the assumed superiority of a nation whose citizens rarely visit other nations.

    (Of course, they don't chuckle too hard, lest they hurt themselves and are up US$7.6m for a briefly trip to the hospital.)

    Holy ****.

    Now I'm expecting Trump to recite the lyrics to "A Boot Up the Ass, It's the American Way" as his speech, then have Toby sing the song.

    And get us all killed.

    Yep.

    Plus, when you Aussies decide to have a jolly old protest - you casually shut down the House of Representatives. More than once (if memory serves me correct)

    The rest of the world has ended dictatorships and corrupt governments by doing just that.

    Sit down son. Adults are talking.

    So what exactly is the nature of the Russian investigation at the moment with regards to the Republicans? Are they looking at collusion in the sense of ratfracking (hacking of the DNC especially), with the Russians essentially playing the role of the Watergate burglars, or is it more a look at identiftying any people in government are vulnerable to Russian interference due to blackmail or payments?

    Strikes and civil disobedience I completely agree with. But rioting is more often than not counterproductive. Plus, outside of the most developed nations where the social safety net is strong, when you torch random cars in a working class neighbourhood to convey your grievances, you're destroying the livelihood of the very people you're ostensibly mad on behalf of. Who is helped by that?
