Looks like the US presidential election will be Trump vs Biden.

Bernie had to beat Biden in Michigan today to still have any realistic chance of getting the Democratic nomination yet Biden has won. Bernie won Michigan 4 years ago against Hillary (who then lost it to Trump) so it's a major step backwards for his chances.

The don has delivered again. Pulls the trigger on a federal emergency package 

some have predicted the floor has already been reached on wall street. Time will tell, but one thing i do believe is this will be all over in a few months and the economy will start the long way back to prosperity.

The same "don" who a fortnight ago called coronavirus more fake news?

In desperate times desperate leaders do things to try and salvage their jobs.

Italy is in the mess it is in; in part because the health system is crap.

You missed the point.

A fortnight your mate "don" called the coronavirus more fake news?

Last night he actually did something because suddenly it is no longer fake news. Why is that you reckon?

Under the direction your mate "don" the USA's CDA are rolling out testing at a rate of 11,000 a week compared to South Korea doing 20,000 tests a day.

Yep he's doing a stellar job a fortnight after he babbled on about it being fake news

And BTW I'm not stressed, just very disappointed to see how people are carrying in Aust with the panic buying etc.... thought we'd be better than that

Talk of A$1.4 trillion (US$850 billion) stimulus package in the States including (potentially up to $1000) cash payments to each American adult.

Both Trump and Boris have changed their tunes because the number of corona cases (since the 100th reported case) was exponentially growing on par where Italy and Iran was two weeks ago. The UK chief med said <20,000 deaths would be a 'good' outcome.

Yes no doubt the "open borders" brigade of the left would've handled it all so much better.....as evidenced by their totally non-partisan & measured reaction to the initial quarantining of people on Christmas Island....

A fortnight your mate "don" called the coronavirus more fake news?

No he didn't, he called the Democrats criticism of his response to the crisis "their new hoax", not that the DNC propaganda wing that masquerades as the MSM in the US these days would ever clarify that for all the gullible fools who blindly consume their constant shytestream of hysterical agenda-driven bollocks...

Sanders has dropped out of the presidential race.

Shows what a bit of enforced isolation can do for the creative juices.

Another example of Trump lies. The footage is spliced together to give  a wrong impression of what she actually said.

Thoughts on Ardern banning fiction books?

If anyone can defend that I’ll be astounded

The most overrated politician of the modern era

Not actually a ban on fiction books but a ban on online delivery.


But why spoil a good story with the truth.


Are you a Trump lover?

You knew EXACTLY what I was referring to.

1- banning of fiction book DELIVERIES is absurd .. stuffing ridiculous
2- I think Trump is a tool , but that is completely irrelevant
