A motion filed by [Australian] Greens party MP Jeremy Buckingham to the Upper House of the NSW parliament calling Trump a "revolting slug" is passed without objection.

Not even Obama accomplished pissing our allies off that bad. Impressive! And he isn't even in office.

Yes, quite an accomplishment. He's winning bigly already.

Generally, I'm the type that doesn't care what another country thinks of us when it comes to policy, the military etc. But I can foresee a scenario where the world gets together and effectively blacklists us. And there's not a lot we could do without military intervention.

China is the world's manufacturer now. All America does is throw valueless money around and PO people at Barry's whim. We simply arent needed right now and we wouldn't be until they all turned on each other as history shows they invariably do.

Now normally, we could weather it. We have all the resources to survive. But liberals would never let us use them. THAT would lead to a civil war. So really, someone like the UN, China or Russia doesn't have to lift a finger other than saying "You're on your own America" and we'll finish ourselves off internally.

All that over Trump? At this point I would not be remotely surprised.

NSW is one part of Australia.  New South Wales, the whole country did not do this.

Oh well that makes it OK then. Only a major part of an allied country went on record officially calling your candidate the equiv of pond scum... which is BTW, an unprecedented event in world history. So nothing to be concerned about

So far.
