âTheyve heated up the daily attacksâ.Actually, they dont have to go looking for news. There is so much to choose from. Donny is the source. The media react.
True. They have no doubt warned their families of impending absences... as they anticipate crisis management meetings. Will Iran be the target this time? Just dont let him near the nuclear codes please.
Has anyone ever heard Donny apologise saying âSorry, I got that one wrongâ? Instead, he claims it as a success ! I suppose his base will find a way to support that claim.Please America.... Remove this narcissistic idiot and start to reverse the damage he has done (trade wars, partnerships...) and the future damaging impacts he has ignored (the enlarged deficit, climate change, potential global trade-war recession...).
We arent to believe that Donny acts this way? There is nothing in the article to make me doubt that this is a 1 reflection of events. They are just reporting this idiot as he is... based on leaks coming from WH staff... those that have to work with him.
Strange that many of Donny's supporters have gone relatively quiet on this one.Just a few futile attempts to justify his stupidity.I feel so sorry for the thinking Americans.
Yes. What a week. Imagine being in Donnys team of fire-fighters! Every day will start with a whats he done now meeting.He may be pleased with his no emails stance but videos are out in the public (YouTube) domain and it seems incriminating recordings may soon have wider audience.Hoisted by his own petard springs to mind.
Totally agree (although Im more an agonistic atheist because I have no proof God exists or does not).Our world certainly has to deal with religion in both passive and aggressive forms. There is bigotry and misconceptions in abundance, I suspect due to lack of education and âbrain washingâ by the ill-informed or those that have agendas.By all means have a Religious session but cover all variations including non-belief.
I do find this polarisation brought on by Trump, quite sad.Americans are brought up to believe they are the biggest and the best. Its ingrained in their psyche. Just look at their movies. They are a nation of immigrants, of varying beliefs, of educational extremes etc. So its not surprising that someone like Donny, will appeal to a section of their population.However, in NZ, we never had this âwe are the bestâ belief. Our pride comes out of âpunching above our weightâ in sports or film or scenic beauty etc.I had thought therefore, we had a more normalised population. Not subject to radical extremes, as perhaps could be expected in more âextrovertâ nations.So it is also with a degree of sadness, I see some Kiwis rallying behind this idiot. Ignoring his myriad of faults, believing that only he tells the truth... and thereby sacrificing their own integrity. I must be naive. I thought we were better than that.
Time for the banks to get on board?I would have thought it was far riskier to lend a couple $700,000, rather than $100,000.More work for them in the short term I suppose but theres a good chance these satisfied customers will stay with them.
And another potential impact... NZ was No.1 on the Corruption Index, meaning the least amount of corruption. Just ahead of Denmark. Something to be proud of. I guess this will adversely impact that as well.
You did see that there is a condition in the plea deal, that he cooperates with Mueller? And that he was Donnys Campaign Chairman for a period of time. And you still think he has nothing to provide?And good luck with that red-wave. Donny cant go on p*ssing people off and think there is no impact.
Two points:1) I do find it hard to accept that an agent gets a %. 2 houses: 1 at $900k and the other at $450k. Does the agent do twice the work for the $900k? I think a region based fixed fee (eg: $5k) + a selling price % (eg: 0.25%) approach may be better. 2) How do we compare with overseas? 2.5%~3% seems to be fairly common here, I have refused to pay over 2% (which the agent accepted) but I have seen that UK is 1%-1.5%.
Another one bites the dust ! There have now been over 30 departures from Donnyâ's administration.Unfortunately it appears that the replacement will be no better at protecting the environment.I guess Trump supporters will some how defend Pruit. Interested to see how, though.
I wondered when âfakeâ would raise its head. Note: We havent got to conspiracy yet. This was Donnys internal meddling. Although openly asking the Russians to search for Hillarys emails at his rally, might come back to bite.
Perhaps Donny was right... âI only hire the best peopleâ. Unfortunately for him, many of these people have morals.Over 30 have departed from his Administration. It seems some decided to stick around to keep some semblance of order.
And being a bully doesnt either (as we will see in the coming months).I get tired of Party As initiative immediately decried by Party B, just because thats what they think they should do. If in opposition - oppose, ridicule, decry... I cannot recall when an opposing party offered support.I live for the day when they can work more closely. eg: Building more homes is a good initiative. We have ideas that could assist....
I suspect Hillary may have skeletons but nowhere near the degree of Donny. Obama, i feel is an honourable person that had a difficult job due to the lack of support by Congress etc.
Totally agree. A friend kept saying... âthey are playing more like the ABsâ. I expected their fitness to be a big weakness in the last 20, but not really. Well done the ABs / Well done the Argies.PS: I still dont like their âgrass cutterâ tackling. I think it should be banned. Legs dont bend that way as Laumape found out. I hope he recovers quickly.
A shame that you feel that way. It would be interesting to run an international-sports poll to see if your accusation has any substance. The stats on European football fans would be interesting.
So an autocratic decree is the solution? Didn't really work, did it. How many Harley owners and those associated, will vote for him now? A pity something more presidential was not offered (such as negotiations), especially with US allies.
Twist the news to suit Glen. Eg: Warren Buffet said âIm not in the business to attack any president, nor do I think I should beâ. He also said... âIt does not feel like the economy is growing at 3% [annual growth]â. Doesnt really sound like an endorsement Glen.
Trade wars... businesses pay more if they can afford to or they go under. If they decide to pay more, they have to pass it on to their customers. If they cant afford, they go without and the business goes under. In what universe is a trade war a good thing? Donny is treating international trade like a game-of-chicken but hes playing with peoples lives. Please hide the nuclear codes from him !!!
Interesting man - I guess he does fit that category but High IQ ! Its the 2nd article in as many days, stating that WH staff are trying to tone down Donnys stupidity. No doubt the Trumpeteers will label this as fake news but Bob Woodward is named as the other author and is held in high esteem in the US, due to his Watergate investigative journalism. Be afraid Donny. Be very afraid. Your walls are closing in.
I think most would concede that there is a problem with China but Donnys bullying tactics are not the solution IMHO.As the author highlights, if Donny hadnt attacked his partners, a united front to reign in China, would have been far more effective. This is what happens when an idiot refuses to (or cannot) acknowledge that diplomacy has a place.Bring on the mid-terms.
I dont agree re anti-Crusaders. I feel the majority of people recommending that Ryan retire, expressed the view out of sympathy for him/family and the desire to do best for him.I am also worried but do agree with your last statement: he has good medical advice around him, so let him make his own decision.
Good to see an informed view, especially as its from outside NZ. So many decry the success the ABs have had, as bad for the game. Others claim they must be cheating or the refs are always biased towards the ABs. Poppycock! Every competitor pushes the limits. TV coverage is so good now, we become armchair refs with instant replay. Every miss by a ref generates an accusation.Every sports person aims to be the best... thats why we have Olympics etc. Its up to the challengers to improve.
Run a poll in NZ, Aus, Canada, Germany, France, UK... (ie: G7, NATO), Scandanavia, China and any African & Middle East country... Theres probably a few Ive missed but lets see what eventuates.
So pleased that this had been put right. I feel sorry for the French though.I feel the rules should be amended to allow the ref to allow his/her own judgement... Specifically that in this case, it was just an unfortunate accident.
An argument looses credibility if the concept is exaggerated... âeverything to the right is labelled alt right.âMore often, we hear the term âright wingâ or âconservativeâ, which is fine. âWhite Nationalistsâ, âKKKâ etc is the Alt Right and not fine...IMHO.
You are referring to that Award winning paper with actual investigative reporters, that were instrumental in uncovering Watergate? But stick with Fox News if thats where you feel you get your âtruthâ.
@poopersnooper... I find It shocking in that Trump actually has support from people that are prepared to ignore his racialist, childish, bigoted (and soon to be proven unlawful) ways. If this is stupid... I freely admit to it.
Total BS. It is his job to ask pertinent questions and it is the presidents job to answer them accurately, not belittle a reporter for insisting on an answer. This is bullying, as the recipient cannot fight back other than request an answer.If you cant see the video alteration, you would at least acknowledge that his âExcuse me maamâ has been removed.
Irrespective of where the money came from, 2 women were paid to keep quiet so their situations wouldnt taint Donnys presidential aspirations. Im surprised your lot are not claiming âfake newsâ again. Chickens are finally coming home... as many of us predicted.
âNo, as hes in office so not entitled to it. Thats why he signed over control of his companies. A president isnt supposed to have any business interests to avoid a conflict of interestâ.You do realise we are referring to taking govt grants in 2001/2002 based on 911? Whats it got to do with Donny being President?
Actually, evolution is a fact. Dont take my word for it. Go to a museum and look at the armour soldiers used to wear 100s of years ago. They were quite small due to their diet. As the diet improved, they grew larger. Perhaps investigate anyone who studies nature. David Attenborough for example. Both flora and fauna evolve based on their environment. If they dont, they die and the survivors carry on with that âimprovementâ.
I can understand their frustration but cant agree that the ABs are âgetting a free rideâ with the refs.I would have preferred a warning to both hookers and it probably would have been that way if the face wasnt involved. Poor choice of target by the Aussie (and I would have liked to have seen what upset Taylor so much. There was word of a slap?).Re Aarons support line of Ben, it went to the TMO. There was no word of holding back the defender nor changing direction to impede.
Unlucky to lose more like it. If memory serves... won the 1st, lost the 2nd with 14 on the field, drew the last when the ref reversed his played-the-ball-in-an-offside-position call. The replay clearly showed the Lions player dropping the ball like it was a hot potato, when he realised his mistake...
So the media should find a positive for every negative or visa versa? They should make up a story to keep the balance?At least Donny would have some justification in his Fake News accusation, if that was the case.
I was certainly surprised at the type and disappointed with the number of AB penalties. Brody and Sam had a shocker each. Surely these school-boy errors are simple to remove from the game?Anyway, lets take nothing away from Ireland. We werent good enough. They were. Well done.
Criticism can be leveled when the the ABs start to fail but Hansen does have a pretty good track record in this area.Skill, fitness, temperament and experience would seem to be reasonable assessment measures. Richie will get his chance as he appears to have 3 out of 4 boxes ticked.
#metoo is an initiative to be commended but it should not be abused.She has apparently tried to justify her actions under the guise of Female Abuse... shameful.Officials have a tough job as it is. Glad to see that the fines were upheld.
I dont think you will find very many US politicians on either side of the divide, who will not concede that the the Russians did interfere and the FBI have advised that they continue to do so. The question is: did Donnys team look for assistance or actively encourage it? Surely this is a valid question that everyone would want answered?
Perhaps the NDA would hold more weight if both parties signed it? As Donny didnt, he instructed his lawyer to find a monetary arrangement (towards the end of his presidential campaign, for a âdallianceâ approx 10 years ago). Hmmm.
Not totally up to speed on McCains politics but it appears he was honourable, thoughtful and willing to take on concepts from both sides of the House. A President the Americans could of been proud of, unlike the current incumbent.
@catb. Just to be clear, this Wags thought they all played well. A little rushed at times with miracle passes to opposition. A little nervous (as to be expected) with not finding touch... but all in all, a great result, good experience for the newbies and a great effort from the Argies as well.
But it is global. If we were talking Aussie Rules or American football, I could understand your point.I guess you are trying to say that soccer is THE global game. The one where oiks get paid millions, prima donnas take dives, the refs are given no respect, scores seldom get above 2 and fans fight in the streets. Is this a beautiful game?
Because Donny has polarised everyone. And the vast majority of us really do have trouble understanding how this idiot manages to still have supporters after the lies, disrespect, nepotism, cruelty... Etc etc
Very little from the âreplace B.B.â squad. Cmon (yeah the) boys. Time to admit you got it wrong.An apology will go a long way to getting you back into the âI have a credible view pointâ group.
Agreed. As I have commented elsewhere, it seems the Argies have been coached this âgrass-cutterâ tackling style. Seems very dangerous and should be outlawed.
Perhaps best to find a sport that gets you excited and allows you to appreciate the skill, team work and stamina on display.All this negatively is not good for you (and adds nothing of value).
I could be wrong but my understanding was that it was effectively 2 different tours. One to Japan and one to Europe.If we think of SH as the CEO of a company, he has to do what he and his advisers feel is best for that company. Seems to got it right so far.

So the media should find a positive for every negative or visa versa? They should make up a story to keep the balance?At least Donny would have some justification in his Fake News accusation, if that was the case.
All Blacks v Ireland: Hansen says Ireland are top team in the world
I was certainly surprised at the type and disappointed with the number of AB penalties. Brody and Sam had a shocker each. Surely these school-boy errors are simple to remove from the game?Anyway, lets take nothing away from Ireland. We werent good enough. They were. Well done.
Time puts US President Donald Trump on its cover - with sobbing migrant child
You should switch off Fox News
Mark Reason: Richie Mo'unga call shows All Blacks are mouldy in comparison to Crusaders
Criticism can be leveled when the the ABs start to fail but Hansen does have a pretty good track record in this area.Skill, fitness, temperament and experience would seem to be reasonable assessment measures. Richie will get his chance as he appears to have 3 out of 4 boxes ticked.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen lays down challenge to midfielder Ngani Laumape
I think Ill stick with Hansen and his advisors. They seemed to have done a pretty good job.
Kiwi Grand Slam semifinalist Belinda Cordwell rejects Serena's sexism call
#metoo is an initiative to be commended but it should not be abused.She has apparently tried to justify her actions under the guise of Female Abuse... shameful.Officials have a tough job as it is. Glad to see that the fines were upheld.
Donald Trump: The illegitimate US president
I dont think you will find very many US politicians on either side of the divide, who will not concede that the the Russians did interfere and the FBI have advised that they continue to do so. The question is: did Donnys team look for assistance or actively encourage it? Surely this is a valid question that everyone would want answered?
Donald Trump got a dose of Dutch bluntness from visiting prime minister
Some may say that showing his hand is exactly what he intended. Dont go in weak !Just my ignorant view.
Welcome to Scotland? No love lost for Trump in ancestral home
And he has perhaps given May a sympathy boost in being so disrespectful.
UN gathering puts further distance between Ardern's NZ and Trump's America
Trump is a politician !!! Good one !!!
More FM radio host Gary McCormick took on his daughter's bully
Theres no âlash outâ given or advocated. Its a verbal message to the bully that should have been delivered by the parents.
Donald Trump: The illegitimate US president
Perhaps the NDA would hold more weight if both parties signed it? As Donny didnt, he instructed his lawyer to find a monetary arrangement (towards the end of his presidential campaign, for a âdallianceâ approx 10 years ago). Hmmm.
Obama, Bush - not Trump - give McCain presidential farewell
Not totally up to speed on McCains politics but it appears he was honourable, thoughtful and willing to take on concepts from both sides of the House. A President the Americans could of been proud of, unlike the current incumbent.
Phil Gifford: All Blacks' dramatic selection changes paid off in Nelson
@catb. Just to be clear, this Wags thought they all played well. A little rushed at times with miracle passes to opposition. A little nervous (as to be expected) with not finding touch... but all in all, a great result, good experience for the newbies and a great effort from the Argies as well.
"Steve Hansen's decision to pick 51 players for All Blacks tour shows he has too much power",
But it is global. If we were talking Aussie Rules or American football, I could understand your point.I guess you are trying to say that soccer is THE global game. The one where oiks get paid millions, prima donnas take dives, the refs are given no respect, scores seldom get above 2 and fans fight in the streets. Is this a beautiful game?
French fullback Benjamin Fall should not have been sent off World Rugby says, red card cancelled
You raised it (rather than let it go).Still to be convinced it was not a penalty. The Lions player certainly thought it was by his reaction.
Welcome to Scotland? No love lost for Trump in ancestral home
Because Donny has polarised everyone. And the vast majority of us really do have trouble understanding how this idiot manages to still have supporters after the lies, disrespect, nepotism, cruelty... Etc etc
Welcome to Scotland? No love lost for Trump in ancestral home
Hmmm... I wonder if the blimp is hireable?
All Blacks in Eddie Jones' sights as England's rugby Premiership begins
Actually, this might be an area where Jones would win. Cheika seems more resigned to his destiny nowa days.
Beauden Barrett stars as All Blacks retain Bledisloe Cup over Wallabies
Very little from the âreplace B.B.â squad. Cmon (yeah the) boys. Time to admit you got it wrong.An apology will go a long way to getting you back into the âI have a credible view pointâ group.
Retallick and Laumape out for ABs as Crotty, Cane, Ioane and maybe SBW all return
Agreed. As I have commented elsewhere, it seems the Argies have been coached this âgrass-cutterâ tackling style. Seems very dangerous and should be outlawed.
"Trump says climate change not a hoax, but he's not sure of its source",
So we have a choice.... a large group of scientists or Donny. Perhaps Fox News said it was nothing to worry about.
New Zealand wins World Cup rugby sevens double - again
Perhaps best to find a sport that gets you excited and allows you to appreciate the skill, team work and stamina on display.All this negatively is not good for you (and adds nothing of value).
"Steve Hansen's decision to pick 51 players for All Blacks tour shows he has too much power",
I could be wrong but my understanding was that it was effectively 2 different tours. One to Japan and one to Europe.If we think of SH as the CEO of a company, he has to do what he and his advisers feel is best for that company. Seems to got it right so far.
Trump nixes $139m military parade, blames DC for high cost
Surprised he didnt say... âToo expensive. Well save that and spend it on the Wall !â.
Emotional Californians stop Kiwi firefighters in streets to thank them for saving homes from massive blazes
So proud of our firefighters and great to hear of the generosity and appreciation exhibited by the North Americans.
France player hospitalised with head injuries from 'illegal' AB tactics
Again Abalto ?
Donald Trump: The illegitimate US president
Lets try and keep focus on the subject. Hillary is a distraction that Trumpeteers bring up, in a poor attempt of âwhataboutismâ.
