Trump has struck his first blow at Australia.

Yeah but it's cool cos he sticks it up the lefties.

That deal was never getting through a Republican controlled Congress anyway, so it's just a photo-op for him.

A little story about Trump compared to Obama - when Obama used to sign legislation and executive orders, he would do so with a number of different pens so people could keep them as a memento. Trump doesn't care about that - he just plows through signing them because he's got better things to do.

Putting down and picking up a pen is such a waste of time. Just like changing the decor or posing for photos in the Oval Office.

err... Obama had a massively more obstructionist congress for 6 of his 8 years in office, making said souvenir pen quite a real thing. ACA, anyone?

Not sorry at all to disrupt the cool narrative of hard-signing hard-working Trump vs grandstanding pompous Obama.

And after beginning the rollback of the ACA the day before yesterday, what three epic difficult things did the Orange Emperor sign off yesterday?

1) the standard day 1 flip of "Mexico City" anti-abortion policy done by every incoming-party administration since Reagan
2) the uncontroversial (to his own) killing off of the TPP as promised
and
3) an uncontroversial but arguably grandstanding hiring freeze for all bar emergency/essential services, while his billionaire cabinet gets through congressional approvals.

Speaking of supreme narcissism, how about throwing away a worthless pen you used to sign off on the death of the policies your predecessor held dearest, just to show him again, ever-so-subtly, what you thought of his achievements? Not suggesting Donald is that far gone: actual evidence required

 

[ScooterBrother]

Yeah how dare Obama think of other people and what they might like. That empathy exhibiting arseh*le.

and Trump did use a couple of different pens and gave them to people for his first signing.

Not many would know this but I have it on good authority that he's actually a Port Adelaide member and he uses his 2017 membership pack pen to sign all his documents. He's not parting with that sucker for anything!

I may be wrong but I thing you're misreading Janus on that point. I don't think it was a stab at Obama at all.

 

[ScooterBrother]

Kochie has done a lot for Port and he can do some mean calcs.

His political views are absolute naff

Yeah I'm not a fan, it just feels very obvious and unimaginative.

Probably an unpopular opinion here but as far as titles go The Phantom Menace is easily the best of the lot IMO.

Ehhhh, I think implying "Trump has got better things to do" is pretty clear.

And its inaccurate anyway, Trump changed pens and gave them to people.

 

[bomberclifford]

Trump has struck his first blow at Australia.

Wasn't this the same TPP that we didn't want because it was too favourably geared to large corporations?

 

[bomberclifford]

Yes it was clear, that Trump doesn't give a **** about other people, where Obama did.

Perhaps it should be "The Sort of Last Jedi Because Rey Will Get Trained Then We Will Have Two Jedi and Then The Garbage Man Will Become A Jedi Too and Then They Will Have Jedi Babies Saving The Jedi Order Then That Kid Kylo Ren Can Be An Uncle To Them Because He Is Going To Turn To The Light Side Also Lasers Pew Pew The End"

I would have actually liked "The First Jedi" where they pilgrimage to the first Jedi's tomb and some heavy shit happens with lots of star destroyers and reborn from jedi knight 2.

The Last Jedi Strikes Back To The Future.

Tagline should be "No More Death Stars, We Promise."
