The attempted "clarification" by Agent Orange this morning is straight out of an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Larry David would be proud of those lines, probably sitting there this morning thinking "I wish I wrote that."

Bwahaha. the Orange Buffoon was reading from notes as he was giving his "clarification", they were sitting on the desk right in front of him and in full view of the cameras.

They're all type written, but there was an edit inserted, obviously by the orange illiterate, scrawled large in texta like a child would scrawl in crayon "There was no colusion" (mis-spelt).

BN it has resumed normal layout for me today. I do have to refresh to reply to any posts or initiate posts... but certainly a relief not to  have to scroll off the page through heaps of text :)

Pls note....do not re-post copy and paste on here unless a direct link...or short selected text, ....will that avoid problems in the future BN?

As I have said before a plot so ridiculous that if a movie was made it would be condemned for being so unrealistic. "Bravado- the unbelievable ineptitude and Corruption of Donald Trump"

This is part i find most amusing with anti-Trumps....

They are so focussed on how Trump won the election that they dont ever judge him on his actual performance as president. Its like they marked him as a failure before he even took office.

How he got there is less important in my opinion right now, as most americans with half a brain would agree he actually had been pretty good for America and its economy. 

Its like signing a player to play wing, only for him to excel as a prop. Stop worrying about why signed him and worry (or benefit) about the way he is performing.....

Zef ...a worry, such a worry.

The dill gets mixed up between "would" and "wouldn't"???

And he has the nuclear codes. 

Agree wholeheartedly with the Maslin family.

But Marki...the Dirty Reds!! (Sorry Slinky)

Yes, they would need brain <= 50% to agree to that...

Congrats Dan .. you and I are Super Fans ... this site recognises quality :)

Super Fans in our own lunchtime.

Eastwood was another player who we kept 3 seasons too long. Thank you for your great service to the club. 

bwahahaha!

......

bwahahaha!

Marki, I'm gonna tell you something you probably already know, or at least suspect.

Every marker you want to think of regarding the economy and it's performance in the U.S started yeaaaaaaaaaars ago, Yes under (oh no don't say it! but I will) Obama. Some even before him. Anything positive you see under Trump is just a continuation of trend, in spite of him, not because of him.

If you want to see what's happening BECAUSE of him. Start looking at the price of goods both imported and U.S made which are skyrocketing out of trend, Out of trend in the last few months or so which coincidently I'm sure.... not... correspond with his ridiculous tariff war, No other U.S President in history has driven Harley Davidson off shore

Now if you don't believe me, you can go look at all the trends yourself. Trace the lines and you will see they've all been heading the same way for yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears.

And I'll add, the buffoon, knowing (no he probably doesn't know actually, but Republicans would) that the "dip" in the market which is wholly expected and comes around every half to full decade, is overdue. It was expected last year, this year at latest. Most Presidents and politicians welcome it in the first year or term of their Presidency to get over it and be riding the rise into re-election and second term. In fact many deliberately bring it on early, to get it out of the way.

The buffoon is spending public money on anything, especially military, like a drunken sailor - and I might add TOTALLY against what normally conservative people like yourself would accept - and so he's super-charging the economy on BORROWED money. Republicans are happy to go along with it because if they can buy the dip out to post '18 or even '20 then it's someone else's problem and they can blame them for it.

And it will be somebody else's problem, because not only will they be dealing with the dip they were supposed to have in '16/17, they'll be dealing with the debt the buffoon is mounting up just to keep it away.

He is a f***in' Idiot Marki. Everything in his history, from day one of dad bailing him out with $8m through the 8 bankrupts INCLUDING a casino (like what idiot can't make money out of a casino?), through to his incomprehension of international markets would tell anyone not a complete idiot themselves that.

I think quantity is the word:)

I just finished reading the speil from Aaron Woods on the NRL site. He says he didn't leave because the Sharks are finals bound but because of the SC issues. I call bs on that one. He got here and saw the real state of the place and instead of rolling the sleeves and showing his real mettle, he bludged along earning big bucks under false pretences and bails at the first opportunity. Top role model....... what's the "in" word used on this site  pppfffttttt!

It is a waste of time arguing with Marki not that he has one.  Lots of people like to be ignorant  ..... poor poor pitiful fools.

And btw Marki, who mentioned how Trump won the election or cares.

There's a thousand reasons but the one I've consistently identified as the #1 reason wasn't Trump's fault or doing - it was because the Democrats put up the worst candidate in history and she deserved beating.

Just a pity it was by the 2nd worse candidate in history who then stepped up his game to become the undisputed worst President in history,

I'll leave you with this Marki, and I would really like to know -

Have you ever heard Trump talk on any subject for a reasonable amount of time and thought - he knows what he's talking about? Anything you've ever heard him say and thought - that's smart.

Has he ever taught you anything? Given you something to ponder over?

Anything he's ever said made you think on it?

Anything?

Anything at all?

Ever, EVER been impressed by his depth of knowledge on..... anything?

Think about it, just think about it.

I bet, there's not one single thing.

I bet I, or anyone else on this forum, has said more things you've thought were smart or insightful than anything Trump has ever mumbled. Any single one of us.

Even Tony!

A trade war is not good for the economy. To the contrary any short term internal sales gain is more than overtaken by a loss in export earnings. Very strong inflation wise...in simplistic terms which is different from simpleton terms which are Trump's domain.

Penrith strike again with no fuss or media circus locking in the beast Kikau till 2022.

Meanwhiile...back at Belmore.

Dean pay saying the dogs will be carefull
On who the sign & how much they pay
& seems very unlikly martin is staying
Slinky , eastwood has overstayed
Wish him all the best & may he find a new nrl
Team , our next recruit needs to be a centre
Hop the club notices this

I havent really listened to him at all. In fact i think the only time i heard him say anything at length was during his backflip on the separation of refugee children afew weeks back. 
But thats probably why i can differentiate his BS from his presidential performance. I dont play the man (coz i dont know the man) but i see his actions.

No doubt he is polarising, and no doubt he rubs off people the wrong way (personality traits) but at the end of the day.....SOMEONE had to be president and from what i see and what i hear from a couple of friends in the USA, he is doing a decent job.

I dont claim to like him. I just dont claim to dislike him

Agree tony.
Our team needs attention in the backs. 
Enough of this forwards mentality. Hasn't won us a premiership for 30 years 

It wasn't even a backflip. He changed the laws that were put down by our cigar smoking mate Bill Clinton. 
As supposedly as dumb as he is  he is still the best political leader in the world today in a world filled with piss weak men. 2nd term easy. 

Just checked the betting. We are paying $1501 to win the comp.
Can we Mathematically, Newtonian Physics, Bayesian Statistically and Hawking Radiation still make the Top 8?

I know you think you're funny Slinky with your pathetic Putin avatar and your summation of Trump but you aren't. Surely you're not that ignorant though I might be wrong.

Ignorant? 
Everything I've predicted about Trump has been correct. 

Slink.... best we can get to is 24 points (10 current plus win the next 7 games).
Usually not enough as you need about 28 with a decent F/A although this season we only have 25 rounds (not 26).
Top 8 is finished.
I'd say only reason betting markets still offer it is to suck some idiot in.
That and maybe they leave the door open for the Roosters and Sharks to get docked points for SC breaches......:D

Nancy take a chill pill.
The bloke got elected on some sort of majority. All Slinky and I have said is that he has done a decent job of it and don't be surprised if he wins another term. You might think 100% of the US voters think he is a lunatic or someone else can do a better job.
Point is, you are sadly wrong. 

You are the one sadly wrong but keep living in your dream world.
