OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Massive surprise one member of the swamp is wishing one of his mates all the best in his new job.

The stupid fairy floss haired f**kwit had 4 years to drain the swamp. Kearney didn’t get that long!

Plus Trump said COVID was an ‘easy fix’.

The swamp was well and truly drained before Covid hit. Now merkins are terrified they won't be able to feed their kids (or pay off their college debts) and so they voted in a bunch of socialists. The swamp will fill up again but another hero will emerge down the track.

Plus Trump said COVID was an ‘easy fix’.

For a federal government it is. Stop pretending it's your responsibility and let the states deal with it.

Most EU member states have higher Covid death rates than the US this week. Maybe they're each run by a Trump.

Ivor begs to differ.

He’s been brainwashed by Trump.

The most pro Trump Murdoch rags of them all.

On a serious note, if Trump wants to leave a legacy, he needs to underline his achievements and encourage his successor for follow up his good work.

Leaders, despite all their faults, are largely forgiven and as time passes they are recognised for their service. Here in AU Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Howard, Gillard etc are all respected.

If continues this whiney brat theme, nobody will remember him fondly. He is eroding that legacy by behaving like an African Dictator.

Trump will go out with a bang

The GOP Right in the US throw the "socialist" label at pretty much everything they don't like so as to discredit it.

The problem though is that there's little to no evidence of the DNC favouring labour over capital, and without that aint no one pulling a socialism.

I mean that's a very basic tenet of socialism. When you strip it all out, all you come up with is a bit of a progressive lean, with elements calling for the likes of medicare for all, and more mainstream I guess a more progressive tax system.

If that's the measure, Australia's gone to hell in a socialists hand basket.

So the guy who ran Iran Contra from the CIA end is wishing well to the guy he was using as a receiving point (as Governor of Arkansas) during that same Iran Contra scandal?

I'm shocked.

PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER, EVERYONE!

DRUMPF IS A TYRANT! THIS IS PROOF!

The funny part is in red.

Who are the official sources? The media?

Haha, no. It's the state legislatures that nominate their electors.

Don’t hold back merkins.

<cough> facts matter <cough>

Because there is no centralised federal election system, it has become tradition in the US that “decision desks” at media organisations make a call that states have been won by one candidate or the other when enough votes have been counted. States that are too close to call – such as Nevada and Georgia at the moment – remain in the balance until a network “calls” them.

I'm glad you didn't include Rudd in that list.

You’re powers are weak, old man.

No, it’s simply an example of acceptance, grace and acknowledging the importance of peaceful transition.

Even Hillary manned up.

It wasn’t an accident.
