Re: U.S. politics thread and Donald Trump - Putin's Cock-holster of U.S. Presidents

He’s addicted to lying , and whilst his critical facilities are now utterly compromised by dementia , he can still lie like there’s no tomorrow.

He might be running on fumes but his descent is steep enough to still crash over the line .

Re: Paul Gallen Vs Sonny Bill Williams

I rated him as a player of both rugby and its league equivalent. An ok boxer but I wasn’t interested in this fight . Met him briefly and he’s a lovely bloke and has a light and very humble charisma . Seems a sad twist on the old tall poopy syndrome that afflicts some people . The better person that ...

I liked SBW the Stan sports guy. Had genuine passion but clearly had a bias for his mates like that guy from Tokoroa. His meltdown over Eddie Jones was quite funny. Was quite limited as a rugby player but still quite useful - especially in the World Cup final. As for this boxing thing, there’s no w...

I actually don't mind Nisbett, truth be told, but he needs to get his eyes checked again after that commentator blooper. I’m used to him , but he’s nothing special . He is still the best commentator in NZ. His competition is lousy , and to a large degree any talent deliberately hobbled .
