Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
Last post by PaulP -
Trump is pretty easy to criticize, and whilst IMO all the criticism is deserved, despite the surface theater and pyrotechnics, not much has changed under his rule. Endless wars, bloated defense spending, desertion of the working class, growing inequality, wage stagnation, diabolical healthcare system, weakening of environmental protections, increasing surveillance and police state conditions for US citizens, and many others are byproducts of a 2 party system that has been wholly captured by the donor class for decades. 

In a counterintuitive way I "like" Trump, because he clearly doesn't care about surface niceties. He represents the ugliness and brutality of an unconstrained capitalism, capitalism in its purest state. Everything is transactional, everything is for sale, and laws, protections, future negative outcomes, people etc. be damned.

Trump's narcissism is reaching extreme levels now.  The John F Kennedy Memorial for Performing Arts Centre in Washington (named 2 months after JFK was assassinated as a living memorial) has had 'The Donald J Trump and....' prefix added.  The change was voted by a Board that was selected by Trump himself. and the letters were added the very next day, despite the fact that it would require Congress to agree to the change.   

To top it off, the new class of battleship to be built by the US is going to be called the 'Trump Class'........

This country is doomed if they don't get rid of this self-centred flog.   They'll be changing the US Dollar to the US Donald next.

One of the surprising things about the odds at this stage is that St Kilda shades us by just the one line of betting.
I'd have thought they would be higher.
They may have been a month ago, with their new recruits, but with players like DeKoning, Silvagni and also Max King having interrupted pre-seasons it's probably made a few people a bit wary of committing until they see how they recover.
It's variables like that which will have premiership odds move around a bit in the months ahead.
