OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Maybe I'd be a little more interested if NSW Labor came up with better quality alternatives.

Not much chance while Trades Hall runs the NSW Labor Party. At some point in time these f**kwits will work out that the world has left them behind.

The only opinions that matter are the ones who are going to vote on her - the US Senate - and they are going to vote in favour.

If Trump gets re-elected he may get another couple, too.

How can he get others? They have to die before a vacancy becomes available. Are the lizard people planning to knock a few off ?

They will and She'll be appointed

If the Democrats weren't such a bunch pussies, they'd let the GOP senate know in no uncertain terms that if they're going to weaponize there current position in the senate to push the appointment through, they can expect a stacked court should the election go their way.

And then if they do win ( which is looking more likely than not ) follow through and make the appointments

Adhering to established conventions is a waste of f**king time if your opponents are prepared to ignore them anyways.

Broadcaster Alan Jones, no stranger to the nation's defamation courts, is embroiled in yet another case. This time of his own instigation.

His "retirement" from the 2GB Mornings slot in May – his show now runs four nights a week on Sky News – prompted dozens of retrospectives across much of the media. But one tribute, by SBS's youth-focused current affairs program The Feed, defamed him by its portrayal of him as a racist, a misogynist, a liar, and a paedophile. Or so Jones alleges, in a statement of claim filed in Sydney's Federal Court.

Alan Jones departed 2GB earlier this year and quickly signed an exclusive deal with Sky News.

He was allegedly also defamed by the imputation he was someone "who achieved his success as a broadcaster by habitually seeking to intimidate vulnerable people; as someone who in the lead up to the Cronulla riots "had sought to incite racial violence"; as someone who "secretly took money from companies to promote their products on air"; and as a hypocrite, for "although being a broadcaster [having] sued for defamation countless times"; and for "isolat[ing] in his country estate to protect himself from the coronavirus, despite repeatedly publicly seeking to undermine the risks posed by the virus".

Jones wants aggravated damages, noting the segment's "over-sensationalised manner", failure to seek comment, and continued publication after his lawyers sent a concerns notice on July 31. The suit being filed only late last week, SBS has yet to file a defence.

He might decide to stack the court now the Democrats have normalised the idea.

I'm not the one making the allegations

But you did make an allegation. You alleged that because I don't know the signatories of this political message that I can't claim they're politically motivated. Why else would they do this? Do you have an alternate explanation?

 

[Gronk]

How the f**k can he stack the supreme court when there only 12 members and they are lifetime appointments ?

I made no allegation, however you made an assumption

you see the difference ?
