OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Gronk]

Susssssan just said in her presser that she wants the royal commission to examine antisemitism and far left neo nazi extremism.

The first question from a journo was ^^^ bruh .

Red faced, she danced around and said that she wants the royal commission to investigate the far left AND neo Nazi extremism. FMD.

I think the far left hold their secret meetings at the same place as ANTIFA.

What a surprise.
The same thing has been continually happening in Russia, although their deaths have been mysteriously falling out of hotel or apartment windows.

Interesting take from a Venezuelan living in Australia.

Interesting... but a small sample size.

He asked her what the Australian Venezuelan community thought, which didn't seem like a small sample size to me, assuming she represents that group.

I don't like what America did, but it seems a lot of Venezuelans may have had enough of the dictatorship.

Sure thing, no-one is saying the guy removed was a quality PM. Wasn't it the opposition leader that beat Trump to last year's Nobel Peace Prize too?

Just making the point that if you asked an Aussie ex-pat representative overseas what they think of Albo (or any of the previous PMs), you'd probably only ever get a view that at best reflects the views of 55% of Australia

She is talking like being released from being kidnapped. Nice. That’s great for them.

However the emancipation of a country from a dictatorship, should not come with a lifetime cost. We are back to the Tony Soprano playbook. Tony does something good for you and all of a sudden you find out that you have a lifetime debt to the “family”.

The Trump administration plans to control future sales of Venezuelan oil and hold the proceeds in US accounts, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said, making the clearest statement yet on Washington’s strategy to bring the impoverished nation’s crude to market and control its most valuable resource.

I know why they did it; she was just pointing out that a lot of the local people might now be better off.

That wasn't why Donny boy did it, though, much like he doesn't give a f**k about Greenland as a security issue. It's all about their rare earth minerals. No one is stupid enough to buy his security issue crap.

They are celebrating Trump?

I have'nt been keeping up with the news. So are the Venezuelans happy or are they angry?

And is Greta invovled in any of this yet?

They are celebrating being liberated from the dictatorship. For them, it's not all doom and gloom, but they also want their country back sans Trump.

 

[Gronk]

There you have it.

If there are two girls held hostage by evil geniuses, SuperTrump will save the girl whose daddy has the most money.

Sans USA imperialism*

Imagine having won 94 seats and destroying the coalition to only f**k the country up and allow Pauline Hansons party to start to be your biggest problem...
Albo probably should walk now if they want to stop the rot.

If they called an election now Pauline would have a fair chance . Albos been exposed badly and majority want him gone. He basically just says whatever he thinks people want to hear. That's not a leader in my eyes. A leader should be firm and have direction. Something he clearly lacks.

I think a majority of Australian's have woken up to how bad the 2 major parties really are.

Albo somehow has become a worse PM than Scomo. As you said he is no leader.

That graph shows that people are walking away from the coalition in greater numbers. Susan Ley is not the answer.
However, there's no way Labor loses the next election with the majority they have, whether Albanese is the leader or not.
The rise for PH's party probably has a bit to do with Barnaby jumping ship. Nothing more. God knows why.

 

[King-Gutho94]

The Bondi hero Ahmed Al Ahmed has landed in New York, attended a Jewish charity event, been on CNN, getting more opinions on that shoulder.

And said Donald Trump is a hero who he would love to meet.

My gut reckons the left will try to cancel and crucify him.

Nothing more? I would say it's because people are sick of the 2 major parties.

I agree Labor should still win the next election though currently they are losing 20 seats Ley is a terrible opposition leader and just a place holder until someone better comes in.

The main take from this should be that the 2 major parties need to change or they will lose even more.

I laughed pretty hard when he said he wanted to meet Trump.

All those lefties won't be able to differentiate that they can still support him even if he likes Trump.
