You could just say YABU, lurker and leave the thread wink

I could if someone pointed out why I was

Go for it lingle! There is no such thing as unimportant...Ok maybe there is but I can stand to be corrected

I do think it is inevitable that in the general whirl of news we will put up stuff that isn't correct and it would be great if people can post corrections. This should come with evidence and ideally a link to a reputable source, not just shouting that we are all biased and wrong! (Obviously that paragraph was a general statement not aimed at you lingle )

Anyone see the SNL skit portraying Bannon as the Grim Reaper? Very funny.

I think there are quite a few Americans that think they can do it alone

Unfortunately, the world doesn't work like that.
As Clinton said "It's the economy, stupid'

We live in a globalised world. That's brought massive issues.

Bigly see? bear training. I'm sure he's a teacher.

When Trump did his 'Australia' tweet last week, that really surprised me.

What Australia tweet is this? As far as I'm aware the Australian PM refuted the allegations that it was a hostile phone call, and even tweeted as such?

Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!
3:55 AM - 2 Feb 2017

I'd call that pretty confrontational...

An amicus brief.

From tonight's Fake News Show. For context they were discussing an article that surfaced in Macedonia claiming Angela Merkel is Hitler's daughter (born via artificial insemination)

What Australia tweet is this

The one that Trump tweeted.

Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!

Plus they are refugees, not illegal immigrants and there was never an agreement to take thousands.

I've found this on Turnballs response:

"While Turnbull told reporters he would not comment on the content of the conversation, he did deny that the US president had hung up on him, insisting the call – which lasted for 25 minutes instead of the hour afforded other world leaders – “ended courteously”."

Do you have Twitter? If so, do you follow Trump?

It's fascinating.

Plus they are refugees, not illegal immigrants and there was never an agreement to take thousand

One person's refugee is another person's illegal immigrant...

But 2 + 2 = 4

Have you read 1984?

Ooh badger I must build up suspense!

Aaarrghhh lingle now I shall go to bed wondering about the shoe copyrights. I shall not sleep a wink I tell you

I haven't seen anyone posting about Randy Rainbow who I utterly adore. He's just made a video about the Bowling Green Massacre which us worth a watch but my favourite by far was his Sound of Music take on the presidential debate

Bless. The thing is though, I've seen too much Yes Prime Minister - it COULD be interpreted as a blatant attempt to curry favour.

I'll be generous - but will he give a speech?

That was the one last night, I believe, at his "winter white house." Article seems to be saying that people are accusing Red Cross of being hypocritical condemning his stance on the Muslim ban, yet allowing him to host it.
