Jeff Sessions out, purge on!

I'm not sure I understand this, is Mueller not protected now?

	Tsk, tsk. Such unwarranted aggression and personal attacks. No googling at all, actually, the genocide of Tasmanian aborigines is very well known to most Australians. Of course, you have your facts totally wrong, again. The British exterminated some 6,000 Tasmanians. In your attempt to read something about this sad story, you probably saw that a few hundred (probably not as many as 900, but hey) aborigines who survived were imprisoned and/or shipped to the mainland. As for your other nonsense, all those accusations levied at "me", well, I wasn't around in 1901 and I played no part in any discriminatory practices in Australia. Furthermore, you're way out of line, yet again, with your claim that Britain led the way to free the enslaved people (whom they had enslaved in the first place) in their own colonies. I direct your attention to South Africa, for starters, not to mention all the other African colonies. And you obviously have no idea what the "White Australia" policy was; it had nothing to do with "shitting on brown people" in Australia and everything to do with selective immigration. (Hmmm, that rings a bell... clearly, you would apprive of that.) Why do you make it so easy for me to show up your ignorance and bigotry? But being the "out and out feckin liar" you say I am, I may as well renege on the commitment I stated above and ban you for repeated abusive posting. Or do you consider "happy little bunny" to be more offensive than "feckin liar", especially when the latter is (once again) completely wrong?

So you're not able to prove your claim that the British were responsible there being fewer brown people in Australia at the end of the 19th century? The rest of your post is something that I believe chief groupie StirB has some expressions for, he will be pleased.

I'll just leave this here. Chin up, sport.

Guess the elf is going back to the tree.

Anyways, I hope the Dems are smart enough to not waste time on impeachment. (The Senate will just refuse to impeach).

It would be nice if they acted like adults and did some work benefitting constituents.

Problem with the Dems is they do not have a message which is probably why the blue wave was smaller than expected.

Well that diagram with 4 pictures mentioning no death certainly has me convinced. That well researched link documenting the killing of 6,000 natives that 22Y posted certainly pales in comparison to your picture that cites no sources. Pictures are easier than reading though, aren't they?

	Perhaps I am in the minority here: I like Trump. I wish he was the president/prime minister of my country: Unemployment is the lowest since the early 70's, wages grew almost 5%, he was the first world leader who was capable to bring North Korea to the negotiation table, withdrew from that fool Paris Agreement, and is tough on illegal immigration, as it should be. Look the dump that many cities in Europa have become with this uncontrolled immigration. I think his language is politically incorrect many times but I prefer a politician that speaks his mind instead of one that plays the nice guy.

Trump was not the first to negotiate with N. Korea, read this.
Like after every other negotiation, N. Korea has not made any substantial changes to their nuclear program; they are still building nuclear bombs and missiles.

No European cities have yet sunk to the level of US cities; murders in Detroit were down to 267 in 2017 making it the second most violent US city behind St Louis.

	Unemployment is the lowest since the early 70's A matter of "at the right time at the right place". That's simply the continuation of a trend that got started by his predecessor, black Barry O. wages grew almost 5% A function of reduced unemployment. That said, feel free to demonstrate which significant group outside of the top 25% income earners got an above-average income boost out of that he was the first world leader who was capable to bring North Korea to the negotiation table That's simply nonsense. Clinton reached an actual agreement, as opposed to the warm air Trump got so far, Trump has no hard data agreed upon to show WRT NK. He keeps talking about denuclearisaton of NK whereas Kim expects denuclearisation of the peninsula. The latter includes warships, US warships in particular. withdrew from that fool Paris Agreement At best a matter of opinion. and is tough on illegal immigration Is he, more than his supposedly weakling predecessor? How exactly? See this article by factcheck.org. Again Trump is simply using the trend established under his predecessor Barry O. and yet again selling old wine in new bottles. I think his language is politically incorrect many times but I prefer a politician that speaks his mind instead of one that plays the nice guy. Apparently you also prefer being lied to. Effectively constantly.

Replies in blue above.

Oh, Loz. Loz, Lozzie, Lozzo. I love it when Poms let their envy override their critical faculties.

Thanks for the history lesson. 1788, you say? I'd never have known if it weren't for your piccies. I don't see any connection between the pictures and the brown faces argument, apart from the importation of a few indentured labourers from the South Pacific—in itself a highly amusing point, given that indenture is by definition a system of unfree labour, which rather puts a hole in your "bastion of morality" argument.

Or perhaps you thought the gold rush brought a steady stream of Africans and Islanders to Australia? Think again, Loz. There's a reason why Chinese restaurants are ubiquitous in rural Australia. 500,000 gold-seekers from Great Britain, 42,000 from China, and virtually none from Africa or the Pacific Islands.

How can you make this any better? Have you thought about shooting your feet before stuffing them in your mouth?

True dat. But you made me check the spelling. Schnaps in German, schnapps (for no apparent reason) in English.

You're sloppy. Had you checked well you would have found out that in English schnaps as well as schnapps is used/correct.

For some odd reason reminded me of the pistol club; drink all night, p#ss till dawn.
The extra p is clearly for for p#ss

I do have mixed feelings about this

If he is trying to stop Mueller then I am against

On the other hand he did many things relating to immigration and refugees I did not like but no guarantee any replacement would be better.

From his resignation letter "After two years of rising violent crime and homicides prior to this administration, those trends have reversed"

Then look at the graph below and see how credible is Sessions.
Trend for the last 30 years was down, he was cherry picking

The federal deficit increased $35 billion in October to a $98 billion deficit compared to the same month last year, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said Wednesday

The spike in the deficit was fueled by the Republican tax law, which substantially cut revenues without offsetting them. It was also inflated by a bipartisan agreement to increase discretionary spending.

Source

Top administration officials have repeatedly claimed that strong economic growth would produce a surge of revenue to bring down the deficit

Not even that, it's an outright lie. The "two years prior" are 2013-2015, IMHO the chart shows falling rates for both 2013-14 and 14-15. Perhaps check the underlying data.
