Americans, the 'house of cards' metaphor was used for a reason in the British and US versions of the TV series...

Its the same reason the first little pig had his house of straw blown away with one huff and a puff.

Why should the world be held hostage to an American fiasco, writ large, of life imitating art?

Ha, ha, good spot!

If only the US and the world just needed an edit function to end this (very American) political psychodrama.

So you think Hillary has qualities that would enhance he office of President?

Marla! My favourite bitch. I love the fact that you're American. I never met any Americans when I was living in the UK, and in all my years in Australia I haven't met a single, solitary American, and yet all my life - even going back to my China years - have been spent watching and listening to American actors and actresses on the screen.

Oh, I tell a lie. I've just remembered.

When I was around 7 years old at school in Hong Kong I was absolutely mezmerized by this beautiful American girl with loooong hair who sat at a desk on the other side of the aisle. I don't know what was going on in my 7-year old mind, but one day she turned to me and said ... "Why are you always staring at me?!" Previous to this she had been totally ignoring me.

I said nothing, but turned a bright red and didn't dare look at her again. 

Marla = alarM

Be alarMed whenever Marla arrives to put in her two dimes worth.

Jus' sayin'.

How is he qualified?

Another thing about sociopaths and narcissists - They are instinctive like animals - No capacity for introspection. They seek refuge only in their deluded sense of self-image even when its clear its based on pathologically grandiose delusions...

Take his latest drivel (below) - "I'm a truth teller. All I do is tell the truth"... What does that mean in real terms.. Maybe six year olds might actually think they can get away with trying to convince their peers they never lie... But even by then they're aware that its a scam.

"Even though I'm supposed to be the smart one" - By whose measure? Smarter than whom? Einstein? His kids? The dog next door?

Stay tuned... This man's rhetoric is quickly going to descend further and permanently into an infantile babble as he attempts to protect his (extremely) precarious sense of self - To prevent perceived psychological collapse, in the shadow of which a sociopath / NPD fears he is perpetually living.

Let's not forget, this nutjob lead the Obama birther fiasco.

Hilary is back into 1.25.

those are getting down to Black caviar odds, so she will almost certainly win.

she shares a big butt with Black Cav  and they would appear of about equal intelligence

Sure they will. The problem is they're outnumbered by women and every ethnic group Trump has alienated.

Trump hasn't even tried to bring other groups into the tent, and this, if anything, will prove to be his undoing.

And if Hillary gets in we'll see how close America gets in to widespread social unrest. Very close is my prediction.

Well I would have thought  you'd want a change of government (Trump) considering the mess you just posted up.

aquascoot wrote on Aug 12^th, 2016 at 12:34pm:


That just about sums it up.

He wins either way, and will no doubt be joining the rest of the world in being an audience to Hillary Clinton turning out to be a disastrous wrecking ball in the Oval Office.

It's going to be 'Theatre' whatever the final result in November.

Hmmm...I worked for years in the US...long time ago in the 70's for tech companies.  My younger brother married an American woman and happily lived there until his recent death from a heart attack.  Me and my family have been there many times in more recent years for long holidays across the nation.  From what I can see, Trump is exactly what America needs - a sharp deviation from the norm of suck-azz politicians leading the country down the gurglar.  Hell, when he has served his two terms he can come down here....get citizenship - just like a bongo-congo athlete, and be PM....and sort us out.
I look forward to him changing everything, backing down to no one, and letting adversaries know he has Trident subs, ICBM's, and a massive fleet of strategic bombers....waiting for orders to launch....Then watching him tear up junk FTA's and more encompassing trade treaties that have stuffed the US - much like our Labor/Liberal eunuchs do here.  Great times ahead - if Trump wins...more of the same western surrender monkeys if the bubble-head Hillary wins....short as her tenure will be....before she's off to the nursing home.

Or off to the neurological clinic.
