OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Bandwagon]

You realise Colorado is being appealed and so he has actually been re-instated until the appeal is heard.

Everything i have read says there isnt a snowballs chance it wont get overturned.
The reason given is insurrection, yet no one has ever been charged with insurection. They even claimed its not the legal definition of insurection, but instead the dictionary definition - lol, Its the vibe.

Its funny how they all say trump will destroy democracy, yet the same people are falling over themselves to prosecute a political opponent, hence they are the ones f**king with a democratic process.

Yeah, the judgement never actually had him off the ballot, they ruled he's off the ballot, then granted a stay on that until the day before nominations are finalised, pending either an accepted or denied appeal to the supreme court.

If the court agrees to hear the appeal, until they make an adverse finding he's on the ballot, if the court rejects a hearing, or no appeal is made he's off.

As for the necessity to be charged with the crime of "insurrection" that's up for debate, the 14th amendment excludes on the basis of participation or aiding insurrection, and says nothing regards how that is qualified.

So that'll be up to the court to determine, not a bunch of folk who would equally claim no one was ever charged with collusion.

Imagine having to deal with that many states.

Aus is unworkable, I can’t imagine what it is like in the Divided States of America.

Yep, am aware. Sounds a bit like Jarryd's final appeal that apparently is still in the works?

Either way, from the US things I've been reading the tide seems to be turning against the Trump man....

True, I can't even imagine what a clusterf**k having a federal government and 50 different states must create.

If Biden is re-elected I am predicting he passes away during his term.

I can't believe you are allowed to run after the age of 60 in any country

 

[the phantom menace]

True, on both counts.

I think it should be mandatory retirement for pollies at 65 years of age (or 67 years, or whatever the pension age is now for the rest of us).

It should be based upon your ability to control your own bowel.

I'm lucky I don't have to get up to piss in middle of night but when do I am just getting a bucket. I'll piss in that.

A good summary/explanation of the issues at stake.

Campaign to remove Trump from state ballots kicks into gear

Challenges are under way in several US states, based on an obscure clause of a constitutional amendment enacted after the Civil War that disqualifies officials who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.

Of course, since Trump stacked the Supreme Court with supportive judges when in power it wouldn't surprise if they do all they can to arrive at appeals ruling favourable to the little orange man.

Bloody unions causing delays to the new overseas-built trains... oh, wait. This has nothing to do with unions - just poor contracting started by the previous state government .

"In a statement, Transport for NSW said it had requested some modifications to the Spanish-built trains for the amenity of passengers and staff following consultation with a range of stakeholders."

"Asked whether the dispute with the CAF-led consortium had been settled, the transport agency said commercial discussions continued and were confidential."

Three years late and $826m over budget: More delays for Sydney’s new trains

New long-distance trains were meant to be carrying passengers a year ago. Now, another set of modifications to the fleet of Spanish trains has been ordered.

Is this a good or a bad thing? Need someone or someone's who obsess over politics in other nations that has no discernible bearing on their day to day life to come in and and weigh in with overwhelming outrage.... Or endorsement....

Iowa win shows Republicans buying what Trump is selling

The former president’s overwhelming caucus win is yet another sign of his huge popularity in the modern-day Republican Party.

I cant see Biden being around in 5 years time tbh to serve another 4 years on top of this year.

So it will more about who the Vice President and that will be on Democrates to take on Trump.

Biden will be 86 years old by the time 2029 comes around when the 2nd term finishes.

The bloke already looks like is ready for a nursing home now having to get his diaper changed.
