Donald Trump might or might not be a dead duck, but unless you start taking an interest in Recognise, white Australians could be dead ducks if the 3% Aboriginal populatiion gets itself into the Constitution. You all need to start prioritising.

I don't tend to give a lot of weight to allegations from an anomomous person from so long ago and at such a politically charged time. Far more substantiated claims against both Clinton's and Trump. Neither Hillary or Donaare is fit for office but it's almost certain one of them will soon hold what's generally regarded as the most powerful job in the world. Neither side has any moral high ground unlike the many memes I've seen reposted (mostly sourced from Occupy Democrats) pointing to Trump failings and suggesting deep character flaws in those who might support him over Clinton. Those in my view will amuse Clinton supporters but just leave to posters looking blinkered to most.

I'm not quite sure just what it says about us, but not one of the prime western English speaking nations has had a candidate for PM/President at the last elections, that any thoughtful person could want to vote for.

Just look at what the UK, Canada, Oz, & soon the US have had to elect to the highest office in the land. The treatment Abbott received shows us what the elites will do to any regular bloke who stumbles into such a position today.

Is it that these people are much worse than what we had years ago, or is it that with modern communications we actually know more about them. From my perspective it does look as if some, Obama, Clinton, Gillard & some others, are deliberately trying to disadvantage the people of these countries.

It indicates to me that western civilisation is at the "Mobs of Rome" stage in it's history, & will not survive much longer. We should all bow down to what ever gods may exist, & give thanks to have lived at the very best time & place ever to be a peasant on this earth.

I doubt our grand kids will be so lucky.

Hey R0bert,
Yes the claims are unsubstantiated, and little attention should be paid to them, however:

It's not just the rape claim so much as than the bigger picture.
Virginia Roberts worked at the mar-A-lago too (owned by Trump since 1985); before she worked for Epstein, and the girl in this current case also says she worked there.
Epstein frequented this establishment, it's where he found Virginia Roberts.
Epstein's girls may have recruited other girls from there.
Questions arise whether Trump ever flew on the 'Lolita Express' to Epsteins 'Little St James Island' in the Virgin Islands (there are allegations).
Trump certainly knew Epstein had a preference for younger (not necessarily illegal) women, and he was likely a big spender at Trump's Miami establishment.

This could be one of Epsteins girls making false allegations or there could potentially be some truth to it.
Either way, it all stinks a little bit too much for me.
Whether there is anything to it, I don't know.
It may very well just be BS and most likely is.

The question of whether anyone has anything substantial on Trump and whether or not he could be blackmailed is a matter of concern.
But I think if they had anything on him they would have used it.

The thing is Bill Clinton frequented that island too, and the whole thing may be the one issue that neither side (or the other elite that also went there) want a light shone on.

This should be interesting....

It appears that the question that started this thread has been answered in the negative. Trump is not a dead duck.

I can't celebrate what appears to be a Trump win but do feel massive relief that the Clintons are not likely to be back in the White House, that Hillary won't have opportunity to push an unnecessary fight with Putin.

I'm undecided if this will be a big enough wake up call to the establishment parties to put their houses in order, I doubt it. Electoral floggings in Australia never seem to lead to any real soul searching by our parties. I seriously doubt that Trump will be a good president but hopefully this has seen the end of the Clintons as a political force.
