Turnbull was worse then the lot of them.

Yes that guy is a used car salesman...

Jumped on renewables after he put money into some companies

She didn't predict a Harris win. She said that there was a massive swing in Iowa.

There was a massive swing in Iowa. It was in the opposite direction as to that predicted by the celebrated pollster Ann Selzer. Credibility shot to pieces.

How the f**k do you lose to Trump!

Even the geriatric Biden with his dementia beat him...

How bloody bad must you be!!

 

[JokerEel]

Remember when Tony was campaigning and said your powerbill would go down $300 a year, then it doubled. Then Turnbull said they would bring down your powerbill by $300 if elected and their power policy got through, and yet their own party wouldn't vote for it.

The problem with power generation is that it has been sold off from the public sector to the private sector.

Watch a film called "Enron : The Smartest Guys in the Room" part of it shows how after deregulation of power companies, power prices went sky high because in a capitalist market people will be charged what the market can bare and sometime even more.

I am further left then the greens, but my first act as PM on energy would be to out and out nationalise the power companies, cut the profiteering out and then as a national resource work to move to better energy options.

Albo also said last election he would lower our power... Goes up! Got me good ffs

@MarkInTheStands for PM!!

What a good post to bring back

The lefties think there the moral compass of society.

Donald showed them speaking the truth and free speech will set you free

Trump "speaking the truth"!?! What truth?

Shout out to Hindy 111, whenever he be.

I was looking forward to him telling Pamela that she’s fired.

I don’t get the personal contempt of her, she came off the bench with injuries.

I thought Megan Kelly’s hit piece on her was ugly and defamatory

Anyone cheering for 1 side of a 2 party preferred political system is a bit of a dope in my books.
I'd abolish political parties and the parasites (lobbyists) who pander to them. Then you'd see some real democracy. After you banned pollies socialising with the captains of industry of course.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The Ukkies and Israel don’t have much longer to pursue their ambitions.

They may even try to amp up before Trump takes office and ends the killing.

 

[Avenger]

How did this go for her?
f**king idiot!!

One of the shows made a good point tonight, that Covid lockdowns etc might have impacted Trump "getting out the vote" in Nov 2020?

And that this time around those Republicans/Trump fans that couldn't be bothered last time had no excuse not to make the effort.

Maybe he spontaneously bought a ticket and got on a plane to fly over there and soak up Trump's new world order?

I normally avoid known conservative Peter Hartcher's columns, but his post-result piece in the SMH is a strong" WTAF" about American voters, Trump and democracy in general.

If Washington was father of democracy, Trump is undertaker

When Joe Biden took power, he said he would try to save American democracy. He and Kamala Harris have failed.

[strider]

Lol .... its true.

He is a clown what were they thinking .... i guess trying to follow the rule of picking a lame VP option to not show up the Prez. Only you have to scrape pretty low in the barrel to get lower than Kamala

 

[strider]

A guy I know cashed out last night on his Kamla bet then put it all on Trump at $1.65 and cleaned up. Booked a flight to Tokyo first class lol

What a legend.

The Ukkies might need to take stock ..... but Trump is balls deep with Israel, i think they will be happy about this result

 

[Gary Gutful]

More to the point, how bad is America travelling if these were the two best candidates available for the POTUS in a country of 360 million?

It’s Ok, just watch ch 7 news, I’m sure Michael Usher will do exactly what he did 8 years ago, put his hands to his face and mutter “what have they done”. Then again. ch9 news said repeatedly that a convicted felon now elected as President. So much for balanced views from our media .

All good. No-one watches those channels.
