What has Trump done now?

[old man emu]

Trump has earned a place in History. He has single-handedly destroyed a global civilisation that took oveer 7000 years and billions of lives to create. And the members of the Republican Party of the USA are co-conspirators.

That's a certainty.

 

However i cannot give him credit for single handedly destroying a global civilisation. Civilisation (not always civil) will stumble on regardless.

The tangerine toddler has simply acted out all the hidden failings of the world order. Failings that were previously dormant, or simply hidden, and until he came along, weaknesses were slowly eroding the moral fibre of world order.

 

For instance, governments of most countries have always suffered from CEO type rot. The job description calls for a ruthless, results driven psychopath, usually overpaid. 

It doesn't call for a considerate egalitarian, fairminded person. 

 

The USA has a history of overt selfishness. Their glorification of capitalism overrides the welfare of the populace. Politics and War is all about making money. It's just that tRump makes it so obvious. As with our Australian system, both major parties are plainly in the pockets of the megarich.

That is certainly not ethical.

BOTH major parties? DO you really think so? The Libs are almost extinct and they were supported by the mega rich. Perilous Pauline is supported by Rinehart and Worships Trump. 

  LITTLE to be PROUD of is supported by Coal and Gas Interests, and represents Bugga All % of the Population. Labor is never supported by the Media or the Rich. Nev

Yes, Nev.

And labor signed off the obscene Woodside gas deal, and also passed special laws to enable the foreign owned salmon fish farms to have special pollution exemptions. So I say, 'both major parties.'

One party is the shyte party, and the other is the shyte lite party.

Just because one is a bit less dodgy than the other, doesn't make sun shine from it's orifice.

Not a very Deep and Meaningful assessment. Labor has a bad business Plan. Trying to help people who have no money to show their gratitude Just WHO IS the Other MAJOR Party Pete? Nev

I understand and agree with your view that Lib/Nat coalition is in poor shape, but in our political environment, they are still considered 'major'. Even though they only represent a minor threat at present. 

 

I hope you aren't suggesting the examples I gave, are in some way making the poor better off?
