Well, for better or worse, The Big D.T. is back in the White House!

Surprising, as I was almost convinced by the many media outlets that Cameleer Harris was a shoe-in. And that I think is the essence of the media - tell the masses what they (the media and it's owners) want often enough and forcefully enough and they will bend to the media will. The polls were hugely wrong, the political 'experts' were wrong, and so were the so-called religious nerkles who claimed that God was on their side(and Harris') side. Sort of reminds me of the standard badge on a nazi soldier's belt buckle: GOTT MITT US.

Well, seems they gott the wrong one on the line...?

....and Ms Harris (her new title very soon) didn't even attend her election party! Wow!

Wow, the overnight transformation by news commentators and so-called experts, backflipping like mad. A number already blaming "Cameleer" for not portraying herself more differently from Joe.

Wong has come out saying that the US/Oz relationship will be stronger than ever, and that all previous comments regarding Trump are now null and void!

It will be interesting to see when Trump reverses the "trans" decisions regarding the US military, and when that dress wearing Admiral takes early retirement!!

As the dust settles after the US election what have we learned , that endorsements from Hollywood actors don't count for much , that the great unwashed will vote according to what affects them whether it be unemployment , immigration or inflation and finally pollsters really don't know shit.

I made a bet of 1 pint with an ex RAAFy mate that Trump would win. Al Webster (the mate) passed away 3 weeks later I miss him and will devote my next Imperial pint to the great man. You are right about the bullshit media CJ - I hardly watch the talking heads of a morning - You tube for me.
