Welcome back Belly,

You were missed.

Hi Belly! How the B Hell are you? Good to se you alive & kicking. Don't think that means I'll go easy on you, I'm still just as argumentative, & I can tell you are too.

I look forward to a few jousts.

Dear Belly,

It's amazing - the calming effect your return has
had on me. I am so happy to have you back.

I agree with you that politically - many voters are
unhappy with the major parties and they appear to be
looking elsewhere as to who to give their vote to.
Mr Trump scares me as well. Especially his administration's
recent acts of taking children away from illegal immigrants
and putting them into detention. Thousands of
kids have permanently
disappeared and are unable to be traced. Who does that
and gets away with it? Isn't that human trafficking - and
a criminal offence?

There is one competent woman who should be in the next USA presidential campaign.
She is Professor Stephanie Kelton, longtime economic adviser to Bernie Sanders in his role as a Senate minority leader.

no surprise to you Belly but I think Trump is about the only bright light in politics today. I know their are others but he stands out to me as one of the few who fulfilled his promises. I would like to see him drain a lot more of the swamp but heh what a breath of fresh air.

thanks for the welcome you two and yes good to be back in your company, old mate got your words about me leaving, while I did not handle it as good as I could ,would do the same if it took place we, all of us, give and take a lot, and often we are wrong too, Paul? well yes still ALP still active in the party, others may be interested to know understand our branches are further left than our party,and yes still willing to challenge my own side if needed, have been active on facebook, just not the same!
