Thanks ami. I'm British but have Aussie citizenship via my father. Lots of family in Sydney - I will be curious to see their reaction to the Trump phone call. Pretty horrified I imagine. Australia really has always seen itself as close to America. I do worry as Australia has it's fair share of the far right. Look up a rather odious woman called Pauline Hanson whonleads the zone Nation party. She's Australia's Nigel Farage.

What the fuck do you do when your DH is killed on a special forces mission that seems to have been poorly planned and compromised - then the President decides to associate the death with himself and to use it to make a point?

That must be so hard.

The US has managed to stay ahead in many areas, from science to business because it has attracted the best from all over.
If it's no longer welcoming to migrants, they WILL flock elsewhere.
Put that together with a failing education system, and you end up with a failing country.

Yep. Add insult to a terrible, un necessary tragic death.

Great thread. I can't say it's the best, but I will happily co-fund a wall between it and the most beautiful best Archers thread?

In fact Trump invited Pauline Hanson to his inauguration but she was 'too busy looking after the people of Australia'.

Bore - I suggest you might need someone more like Frederick Douglass to be her Angry Spice. Someone that makes regular and important contributions to society all the time now and will just be recognised more and more. Grin
