Can we expect strong condemnation of Trump over his proposed lifting of sanctions on Russia in exchange for some ''really great'' deals? She didn't hold back on Putin in the UN calling the shooting down of MH17 a war crime and calling for strongest action on this crime 38 Australians died in that crime. She and Turnbull cannot let down the families of those dead. Will Abbott still shirtfront Putin or get in line behind Trump and screw the victims?

INTELLIGENCE INSIDERS NOW CLAIM THE TRUMP DOSSIER IS "A COMPLETE FRAUD!" @OANN The intelligence insider is apparently none other than former campaign director Corey Lewindowski, who is now a conservative commentator with OAMM So his two sources for having nothing to do with Putin are co-consprator Putin himself and his former campaign director. Doesn't get any better than that |

What a piece of trash, a failure at business, made his money from salesmanship, caused thousands to lose their savings when his casino tock crashed, sells worthless Trump University degrees , says he has won even when he has lost, never admits or concedes anything only attacks,counter attacks and sues, a showman who got elected because he was on The Apprentice for 14 years, and advertised Pizza Hut etc, a real man of the people you suckers who voted for him
It is truly the end of civilisation President TrumpSunday 15th January at 8:30 pm (65 minutes)
Who is Donald Trump? From his early childhood
in Queens, where his father taught him to be œa killer, to his
triumphs and failures as a flamboyant real estate baron, casino owner
and reality television star, Trump developed the character and
personality that he would put before voters as an unorthodox
presidential candidate. With new reporting and interviews combined with
sections of the acclaimed film, 'The Choice 2016', Frontline reveals the
man who will now bring those qualities to the White House.

He should get Whale to help him with his inauguration speech ... that would be interesting.
What price someone takes a pot shot at him on the day ... there seems to be enough unpatriotic, hateful left wing democracy deniers out there, and the majority of them were unhinged BEFORE he won the election ... and I'm not even counting the US Citizens, who were actually eligible to vote!

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

Oh, I thought you may have been talking about the country militarizing artificial islands in areas they have no claim to, which happen to look over routes which see $5Tn of trade pass through per year.

I am, and according to Mr Tillerson at congressional hearings last week, US partners in the area, including Australia obviously, will step up and be the ones to form a blockade. What will that do to our trade relationship with China?

Australia has pretty successfully negotiated our way between both China and the US, our first and third biggest partners, drawing the best from both relationships while staying pretty neutral
It sounds very much like the US under Trump wants us to choose sides. Yeah, I know what they say today doesn't necessarily bear any resemblance to what they will do, that is how he got elected, but this is pretty serious. Inflaming China on One China policy and calling them out is not in our best interest.

I've been ostrich like since Trump was elected I'm afraid. Don't look and it will go away! It's all too horrible to contemplate. My gripe with Trump is not his politics ( such as they are ) but I see him as a deeply flawed character and if history teaches us anything it's give a deeply flawed character any sort of power and very bad things tend to happen.
PT is right. We will be asked to choose between China and the USA if Trump has his way. Heaven help us with our current government making the decision!! |

Going Away Gift: Obama Just Expanded Surveillance Powers For Donald TrumpJANUARY 13, 2017 By Josie Wales The Obama administration just handed even more power to the incoming Trump administration to invade the privacy of American citizens. The recent approval of new procedures for an existing executive order will allow the NSA to share the private data it collects with all 16 agencies of theUnited States intelligence community. The 23-page outline of the new procedures lifts previous limits placed on the way information was filtered before being disseminated to individual agencies. “As he hands the White House to Trump, Obama just unchained NSA from basic limits on passing raw intercepts to others,” NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden tweeted Thursday. Gone are the already flimsy privacy protections that required NSA analysts to review data before handing it over to other agencies like the CIA, DEA, DHS, or others. Whereas prior restrictions required analysts to shield the identities of innocent parties and other personal data before sharing only the information deemed pertinent, there are now no filters whatsoever. All agencies will have the freedom to dig through “raw signals intelligence information” under the new procedures, which were signed by Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch. After evaluating the information, the agencies can apply rules “minimizing” violations of privacy. That’s correct — only after privacy has been violated can it be protected. That’s not exactly how it works, but it is now the law according to Section 2.3 of Executive Order 12333. The document was originally signed on December 15, 2016, by the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr. According to Clapper’s general counsel, Robert S. Litt: This is not expanding the substantive ability of law enforcement to get access to signals intelligence. It is simply widening the aperture for a larger number of analysts, who will be bound by the existing rules. RFID Scan Blockers – Available for Free (Ad) ACLU lawyer Pat Toomey disagrees, explaining: Rather than dramatically expanding government access to so much personal data, we need much stronger rules to protect the privacy of Americans. Seventeen different government agencies shouldn’t be rooting through Americans’ emails with family members, friends and colleagues, all without ever obtaining a warrant. The new procedures require agencies to submit written requests to the NSA describing the raw signals intelligence sought, how it will be used, how it will further its mission in a significant way, and why the information could not be obtained through other sources. While the purpose of Executive Order 12333 is to target foreign and counter-intelligence only, if an agency uncovers information that incriminates an American citizen, the agency is required to turn the evidence over to the Justice Department. Many of the requirements listed in the document for targeting American citizens have been redacted. And if all else fails, any U.S. Intelligence Agency can legally obtain personal information on any citizen with no warrant under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. However, with these new procedures in place, that may not be necessary anymore. If Barack Obama is so concerned about a Trump presidency, why is he giving the future president such a terrifying amount of power?
