Nice to see many countries standing up to Trump over his threats to cut aid if they vote at the UN, supporting a two party Israel-Palestine resolution. Boo to Canada and Australia who abstained. Cowards and unprincipled.

Yes, and Canada and Australia should have had the balls to vote for Trump's bully tactics as well, instead of trying to please the sensible majority and suck up to Trump. It didn't work

You say I am good, I will say you are good. That means we are all great and wonderful. I;m glad that are all satisfying themselves while the rest of the 7 billion are facepalming.

 

I'm looking to see what or if the US does anything with aid and trade, based upon the UN vote. Can't wait. Can't wait for the rest of us to slowly but surely reduce US involvement in day to day lives.

It's an adaptation of Psalm 135:

 

Praise the President!

 

Praise the name of the President, give praise, O servants of the President, who stand in the house of the President, in the courts of the house of our President!

 

Praise the President, for the President is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant! 

 

For the President will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

Trust me when I say Australia is not effing happy with this. 

 

 

 

On the bright side, Turnbull and his crew of effwits know they're on the way out.

Glad to hear it mate.

 

My dad and mum divorced, he met an Australian women, that's all good, I was just a kid. Ive been there a lot, have an Ozzie half brother, they are all great. North Queensland, Sarina and Pinnacle. He went to school with Wendell Sailor. While I have these ties, its a bit annoying that Oz sides with the US as it does, i.e, Trump. While its fine, and sensible to side with the US, as NZ does to a decent degree, its good to hear that the Trump fix is not embedded. 

 

If everyone is sensible, you can sometimes have your cake and eat it too.

 

NRL, cricket, rugby, a great rivalry. When our EQs hit (ChCh), Oz was here. When you guys have Victoria wildfires, we were there. That what I prefer to balance it with.

Sarina

 

 

Spent some months in Sarina on my epic trip to FNQ in the late 90's.

 

Lived in a tent and caravans with my 2 dogs.

 

Sarina is one of my favourite places in the whole country.

 

The most beautiful beaches. And turtles.

Lost my post, ugh. Dad worked in Plane Creek mill, engineer. He was instrumental in building the mini mill, now known as the Sugar Shed. I was last there in April, when he was crook, and May when he passed away. Dang. The people up there are awesome. 

 

"Too easy mate" 

 

RIP Tom
