    No substance to the FBI reopening a criminal investigation against a presidential candidate. You what?

    You guys have been saying this ever since I was born and we have yet to care.

    Mind you...

    Canada is too busy up it's own ass to bother the rest of the world. Mexico, while apparently booming with industry, is raft with crime and corruption at every level entangled with the assorted cartels. Most all of South America is in a dire state of debt or being destroyed inside out by socialism (shout out to those protesting in Caracas Venezuela this very second). Colombia is in the midst of a 52 year civil conflict that has taken the lives of 220,000 people. Brazil impeached their president. Scotland tried to leave the UK. The UK is going to leave the EU (apparently) on accident (i.e. "I didn't know my vote actually was going to matter!", "I never thought we'd actually leave!"). Russia has submarines chillin' in the Irish Sea trying to piss people off. Spain is dead broke. Germany and Sweden are in the midst of a migrant crisis. France is too busy banning burkas to combat terrorism to care about us. Eastern Europe in general has plenty of it's own problems, nonetheless Russia strategizing to put a bunch of rockets on the doorsteps of it's every border (or figure out what part of Georgia they want to annex). The Middle East is absolutely fucked, without saying. Africa is absolutely fucked (Boko Haram in Nigeria, destabilization in Mali, etc.) Australia ceases to exist to the rest of the world on any day except New Year's Eve, when they get to shoot the fireworks first (or whenever you lot decide to play cricket with them). The Philippines is cleansing its population through the murder of whomever they consider to be unscrupulous individuals. Civil war in Myanmar. The king of Thaliand passed a couple weeks back amidst a political tug-of-war that's been going on for decades. Japan and South Korea are basically on "I wonder if the Norks are going to launch nuclear war today" watch constantly. China wants to help kickstart the third World War by fighting over some islands.

    But hahaaaa lol @ the USA, bruh.

    Admittedly I kinda just started going and going and going and kinda lost my mind here.

    What word am I looking for there..

    "Raft with..,"

    clearly that's not right.

    I just meant the huge fervor to do another referendum because all of those people basically said they ballsed it up and didn't even mean to vote Leave.

    I'd note that I'm an unashamed right winger and consider Trump to be outright dangerous, so it's not just "libs" who would consider his election a travesty.

    That's because you are only exposed to incredibly biased coverage on his candidacy.

    Hillary is lol levels of corrupt, incompetent, unethical, antidemocratic, etc, only reason you would vote for her is because you wish to see the promotion of Leftist positions at all costs.

    FiveThirtyEight has Hilary's chances coming in a little (down from 88% on 17-Oct to 75% today), but she was so far ahead, it doesn't seem to matter much.

    Not my problem. I still don't think he'll come close to winning, but Australia's (much higher) quality of life won't take a hit unless he nukes us out of his own idiocy. So, like, a 20% chance at worst.

    EDIT: Which one of Colorado, Pennsylvania, Viriginia or New Hampshire do you think Trump will crack? He needs to get at least one of them to win, even if he sweeps Nevada, Florida and North Carolina.

    Even if he wins, he won't just be able to stroll around doing what he wants anyway. Then you'll all be very glad of the 'blockages' that have stopped Obama turning it into a liberal nirvana over the last 8 years.

    If he wins, he'll have a Republican House and Senate so I'm not sure how that applies.

    Yeah but half of them will hate him and in any case, the other day I saw something saying the Senate could go Democrat (no idea if true, American politics is utterly tedious to me). Then there'll be the Supreme Court, the Joint Chiefs etc all counterbalancing the executive in other areas. He won't just be able to nuke Vancouver.

    Trump winning the Presidential vote and not the Senate makes little to no sense. The only reason the Democrats have a chance is because of NeverTrumpers. The Supreme Court is currently 3-3 with whoever wins the nomination picking their preferred justice to make it 4-3 and there's a remote possibility that they'll get to pick two.

    Don't forget New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

    You are sooo shook right now it's hilarious. Denying reality despite it being right in front of your face. You were wrong and I was right, how embarrassing is that? Aren't you supposed to be smart and objective and the voice of reason??? But I guess you're just as irrational and blind as the rest of the Leftist cucks currently experiencing a meltdown associated with having their perception of reality upended.

    Also being rich in Australia is roughly equivalent to lower-middle class in America. Cope harder.

    It's 4-4 with one open vacancy to make 9 justices, but yes you are correct.

    You sound twelve. I know you're not stupid, but you're coming across as barely literate. Wind back the bombast a little.

    Also being rich in Australia is roughly equivalent to lower-middle class in America. Cope harder.
    Have spent enough time in both to know that's rubbish. And I put my money where my mouth is - I could have taken a job in the US, and didn't. It was a quality-of-life decision, and I've never looked back.

    Look, I don't want Trump to win. But I have been saying on here for months that the polls would narrow as the election got close, so I don't know what I'm supposed to have been wrong about. From where I'm sitting, it looks like I was on the money at this point.

    This triggers me so much for some reason.

    "Yo dawg, I heard you live in a country that spans 3.8 million square miles, but all of it is shit compared to the 2.97 million square miles we have here in Australia"

    It's a big world, man. Your home city vs. Potential job city =/= Australia vs. the U.S.

    Okay, maybe this is just bad timing but the FBI releasing all that stuff on Bill Clinton feels like they're trying to influence an election.

    It's a big world, man. Your home city vs. Potential job city =/= Australia vs. the U.S.
    I've not experienced the whole thing, but I did have job offers in California and North Carolina, which involved visiting both areas as part of the process. I spent several months in Boston during my PhD, two months in DC, and a month and a half in Athens (Georgia). It's not the whole place, but it's a decent cross-section. Mostly east coast, I'll admit.

    The lifestyle in Australia is pretty amazing. New Zealand probably has it even better, but Australia's isolation makes it decently laid-back. You can accomplish things here, but the whole "ethos" in the major Australian cities is on maximising quality of lifestyle. It's a good place to be. Not to mention that we're at or near the top of almost every "quality of life" measure, for what it's worth. But it's more the general easygoingness of the place, coupled with the sensible social safety nets if you're into that sort of thing.

    Seriously though. Maternity leave and the metric system. Get it together, guys.
