What sort of a person takes pleasure out of somebody else’s sadness? Fair dinkum.

Abortion is legislated separately in each state. It has nothing to do with Washington

Except trump said he would initiate a nationwide ban.

Are you serious? That flog has been sprouting shit infesting this thread for how long? Deserves what’s coming back her way.

As for sadness? Unless you live in the US, what’s there to be sad about? Has she lost a loved one? Port let her down again in the finals? Bit melodramatic don’t you think Jenny?

Anyway that's fairly predictable i thought. The posts in this thread prior to the election were... bizarre

Australians deeply caring about an American presidency too makes no sense to me. Surely it goes back to a personal issue that they're projecting? Like what exactly are you celebrating or commiserating?

Americans who voted for trump i can understand, can't have an open border and expect no consequence, just a basic function of a nation. A shame the bar is set that low i guess

This whole board did during Port's finals campaign to be fair.

The American people obviously saw her the same as me and many others, a vacuous vessel that didn't believe in anything, or stand for anything, that a maniac like Trump could absoltely obliterate her tells you that.

It says volumes that a man as depraved and corrupt as he is can defeat a woman 1000x more qualified - and far more decent than he’ll ever be - and you and your like minded misogynistic white male privileged friends cheer it on and laugh at what will be the fallout of this decision, for millions of American women in the years ahead. You are even worse than I thought you were.

Women’s rights in America were marched back to the ****ing 17th century today. It’s not even remotely ****ing funny or comparable.

Really? Makes no sense? They’re a highly influential country and our politics quite often mirrors theirs. Just look at the recent abortion bill that almost passed here, you’d have to be incredibly naive to think that US politics did not influence that.

This absolutely will have significant influence on our politics, and Australian lives as a result. It makes perfect sense for people to be invested in it.

I do however think it’s pretty depressing how many people are deeply invested in it but most likely couldn’t tell you who the opposition leader is at any given moment.

In QLD this last election the new premier recently voted to ban abortion. This is the same path Australia will head down, it’s only a matter of time the privileged white guys get their way.

 

[Coopers]

It's not an opinion - it happened

Mao's rise wasn't until the late 40's. You can hardly blame the US for that

lolwut

Reckon you need a lay down.

Has it dawned on you that women actually voted for him? What about their rights? You’re sounding like an unhinged lunatic

Obviously it's a world event given their power and for us the cultural links, but there's something off about people riding it deeply to the point of them pretending they know better than actual Americans who should lead their country

Think there is a witch trial of some sort going on tomorrow

Goody Clinton may be the first to be charged with witch craft, has to be some sort of dark arts being used to have a notorious pork swordsman like Bill under her spell.

 

[George Kramer]

Mods think this thread has run its course, close it and direct everyone to the quality election thread.

Don't be foolish. Every woman wants to kill their unborn.

Jenny melodramatic?? Nooooo.

"We will be the next Italy" - Covid in Australia
"He has his finger on the red button" - terrified last time Trump was in charge
"Disgusting rapist" - NRL guy that the court found not guilty

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Well, this thread went exactly the way I thought it would tonight.

Down in the main Politics board, just as popular there as well.

Someone that’s been in the job before isn’t 1000x less qualified than someone who hasn’t.

Job performance is part of being qualified.

first market reaction to base metals outlook under Trump. Ozs key exports inc iron ore and coal, are clearly heavily and disproportionately to China. Huge tariffs on Chinese goods into US = higher inflation, higher interest rate and a likely recession. Well thats what Elon thought anyway

Metals drop after Trump’s win

Metals bore the brunt of global commodity price losses after a US election win by Donald Trump, while oil, gas and agricultural commodity prices recouped some losses.

Trump recaptured the White House by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency, following a campaign of dark rhetoric that deepened the polarisation in the country.

Oil prices flattened after falling by more than $US2 per barrel earlier on a stronger US dollar, with some analysts and investors saying the earlier decline was an over-reaction to the election results.

Although Trump has long backed US oil and gas production and could introduce heavy tariffs on imports which dampen economic growth and demand for fossil fuels, US oil and gas production already hit record highs under former US President Joe Biden, said Jacob Mandel at consultancy Aurora Energy Research.

Benchmark European gas prices flattened out after rising slightly earlier.

Precious metals were still down, with gold prices at a three-week low, while copper lost nearly 4 per cent and is set to post its biggest intraday loss in five months.

For other metals, zinc became the worst performer of the base metals complex. The galvanising metal prices declined as China’s steel industries could face headwinds as Trump pledged to boost local US manufacturing.

The copper market is pricing in the long-term direction of Trump’s policies, a trader said.

Trump said he would “rescind all unspent funds” under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Biden-Harris administration’s signature climate law to decouple the global supply chain from China, which includes hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies for electric vehicles, solar and wind energy, and increasing production of strategic minerals.

“Gold will be torn between the risk of rising inflation, potentially slowing the pace of US rate cuts, as tariffs are rolled out and continued demand for safe haven assets,” Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said.

Commodity prices started to fall overnight as traders started to price in the likelihood of a Trump win.

“This scenario is expected to bring about the promised tariffs on imported goods, particularly targeting China, potentially triggering a new wave of trade tensions and economic disruptions,” Hansen added.
