[2016 American Presidential Thread]

^ exactly re the divorces etc.

Surely there will come a time when an elected leader will have nudes out there? Professional or private. So many dick pics...!

I actually find the idea that a potential First Lady has nudes out their quite indicative of our times and representative of American/western culture.

Who are these people? So fucked up.

[Britain votes in favor for Brexit]

Sadly it's true. But the thing is, all along they wanted to use this as the perfect excuse to justify the triggering of a second manufactured financial collapse. It will make 2008 seem like a walk in the park. I am still appreciative of the fact that 48% of British voters were sensitive enough to understand what the implications now are

Watch the City Of London's "gambling privileges" (entire UK economy as of now, thanks to people like Thatcher) being savagely butchered. When I read some of the comments in this thread it makes me realise how deluded some people living there are.

Anyway like I said this is not about the EU being a good thing but about how those that voted against the EU seem to really believe they are now "freer". LOL. In the kind of world we live in, looking at the bigger picture, economically and militarily, it's a decision that makes absolutely no sense.

This. It's just so short sighted.

I don't want to imply that all who voted leave are xenophobes but id be willing to bet at least 50% of that group are.

This is a victory for conservatism and the power of fear.

[Britain votes in favor for Brexit]

I'm shocked too. Had no idea there was this much nationalist, xenophobic animus in Britain.

Nationalism is on the rise everywhere - I'm shocked at the complacency people have about it.

[Britain votes in favor for Brexit]

This has really put me on a blue funk... I'm pro remain...

[Artificial skin against wrinkles. MIT discovery. Madonna?]

Yeah, I'd like to know why Madonna never fixed those very noticeable wrinkles under her eyes and on her eyelids, what with ALL the MAJOR plastic surgery fans insist she's had.

I don't want to start shit but those lines, although natural, curve the way they do because of the mini or full facelift she had years ago (or whatever it is you think she has done). Natural line but not a natural curve.

Some woman do continue to fill similar lines but that's when you head into scary territory...!

[American 2016 Presidential Election thread part three]

Now that I think about it, maybe political gridlock is alright. I'll sleep better at night knowing that if Trump were to win, we won't be able to do much anyway.

I can totally picture him getting extremely flustered and regretting all of it once he starts getting a bunch of paperwork and long ass instructions about protocols and boring ass U.S. government bureaucratic shit

I hear and agree with what you are saying. The problem is that I feel Trump unlocks the hideous undercurrent that exists the US (and in all countries), fueled by ignorance, bigotry and hatred. Once that genie is out if the bottle and given political endorsement, that's when hellish possibilities seem no longer impossible.

He would leave a far more poisonous mark on the social side of things, as most right wing leaders do.

[2016 Australian General Election]

I hope Tony Windsor makes a comeback and knocks Barnaby Joyce out of his old seat.

Tony Windsor is such a decent politician... Barnaby needs to be flushed.

[2016 Australian General Election]

If the election was today I think the Liberals would win but they would lose seats to Labor in the process.

I'm glad the gloss is fading on Malcolm. His personal popularity always masked his true colours. It's been refreshing to see Bill Shorten finally have a voice in a few issues but I don't think he's strong enough to win the election.

I dream of Tony Abbott losing his seat but I think the chances are slim. His electorate is full of baby boomers and they love a right wing conservative!
