In which the bromancer delivers a post-election special ...

 

Whenever the pond seeks guidance on American politics, it turns to a rude, terrible representative of the lizard Oz mindset …on the principle that it takes an undiluted loon to explain loonacy …

Yes, this is a post-election analysis, not about how the United States might be a winner as a result of its wretchedly divided condition, but how the Donald is a winner … but then why not a narcissist lover to explain how narcissism and relentless lying remains the best way forward, not for the country, but for the Donald …

To achieve this remarkable feat, and never mind the juxtaposition with that press conference, the bromancer had a couple of goes at it …

Yes, it's remarkable, the GOP are united behind a cheat, a serial liar, a con man and a snake oil salesman, a veritable Elmer Gantry of politics, and it takes a bromancer to understand the achievement ...

A return to normal in American politics? Well the pond suggested at the start that the bromancer was a terrible, rude person peddling fake news, and it seems that's the new normal …oh that Richard Nixon could see his tradition so nobly honoured ...

But the bromancer had only just got going ...

Actually, US voters didn't have any choice about the Donald. He's there for at least two more years, but the notion that the US has settled for more Trump is a sublime distortion of the kind the pond expects the bromancer to deliver …

The country is remarkably divided, but it takes a bromancer to scribble a line proposing that the Donald represents "continuity and even normality" …

Yes, he does, but it takes a full-blooded, full-throated loon to celebrate a loon … and naturally the reptiles dressed in a Lobbecke to guarantee the bromancer cult status ...

There's absolutely nothing like a bromancer reading of American history, and his predictions for the future are equally sublime, though only the pond is likely to remember them and bring them back to haunt him ...

Yep, in the bromancer's world, the Donald is a continuity … an extension of Obama … which reminds the pond of last night's joke, that shortly the Donald would reveal he was actually born in Kenya ...

And there you go, it's a normal result, we live in normal times, carry on regardless … 

Oh, and there's a goodly supply of reptile-preferred soma pills available at the door for your office water cooler …a

And now standby for the news that Jeff Sessions is the first domino to fall … and the Donald is off to meet Vlad the impaler in Paris …

Yep, no sooner than the digital ink was dry, the Donald had made the bland assurances of the bromancer seem even more stupid than they sounded when he was pounding them out with his digital pen …

How much more will follow as the madness unfurls?

Yet all the reptiles, and so the pond had to offer was the sublime fuckwittery and bizarre effrontery of the bromancer "nothing to see here folks, everyone is quiet on the Donald front" kind ...

By the end of it all, the pond yearned for some decent down under political sanity …

You know, the kind celebrated by David Rowe …

Sheesh, after that, is anyone brave enough to venture off for more alarming Rowe here …?

The pond wondered if it had room for the savvy Savva, but where's the harm? You see, she too had words on the US political landscape, and its relevance to politics down under ...

Oh dear …if the pond reads Savva aright, what she is saying is that the United States has a buffoon as its leader - confirming the pond's understanding that the bromancer buffoon was celebrating a buffoon - and now Australia has its very own buffoon in the shape of ScoMo… 

And so the only question remaining is how much buffoonery Australian voters might be induced to swallow …with the help of the reptiles doing their very best in every way to help …

Panic and fear, and a most excellent sales pitch … for a buffoon ...

Say what? Malware's doing a special celebrity round this night on the ABC, and GTN is representing him, and the new pitch includes this sort of twaddle, and never mind how he fucked up the NBN?

Having just left office after serving nearly three years as the 29th Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull possesses a unique and incredibly timely understanding of the current geopolitical moment. In that role, he forged lasting connections with leaders around the world and speaks to the influence that their politics have on the world at large. During his tenure, Turnbull was also involved in key policy decisions that have not only altered Australian society but also have international implications for other countries facing similar issues – same-sex marriage, environmental conservation and energy crises, global trade, cyber security, and the ever-worsening refugee crisis.
Prior to taking public office, he was also a successful entrepreneur and businessman who worked his way to the top of a major global investment banking firm and founded several businesses at home and abroad. Extremely intelligent, humorous, candid and charismatic, Turnbull shares his valuable insights into issues that are impacting the world. (here).

Why it seems he spent almost his entire time solving the climate science crisis by explaining the virtues of dinkum clean Oz coal, oi, oi, oi ...

It's a most excellent pitch, though the pond could have dressed it up a little more in the ABC style, by saying that Malware possesses an absolutely and totally and completely unique understanding of his sublime sense of his own self-importance, but sadly this would have distracted from the savvy Savva message, and she's got a gobbet to to ...

Uh huh … well if the pond is still up to reading the sub-text in the savvy Savva, there's much residual bitterness in the Malware camp, and it seeps into every savvy line about the ScoMo persona, wearing thin everywhere except the deep North … and there's an almost ghoulish anticipation that he's about to turn into a train wreck …while the entrepreneurial Malware can gaily trip about, speaking on almost anything that moves him, until he moves the country to boredom or to tears, or on truly dire occasions, to both ... ...

Oh lordy lordy long absent lordy, the pond is almost tempted to watch their ABC tonight but possibly will just settle for the transcript …

There's only so much absolutely unique mayhem even the pond can absorb in one day without feeling the effect described by Pope this day, with more papal analysis here …

Oh and what's that knock on the door over at Rowe's house? You see, the pond might have to issue a trigger warning about visiting Rowe ...
