OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[T-Boon]

Again, i already said that is true. I said that I posted the first link referencing that Biden was the one that halted construction on the wall. I quoted that portion and the rest of the story in the article is irrelevant to my claim. Learn to read Twizdumb. Where am I claiming that Trump didn't say that?

Biden should be erecting walls so he can dump in private.

 

[ImTheMan]

Seriously, the past two or so pages are some of the most childish shite I've ever seen in this forum.
Why can't you lot just agree to the fact that your political alliances will never align, not matter how much or for how long you all argue your own case.

The thread is over, Suity has saved our souls!

Let's celebrate with one of my favorite political songs:


Anyone have any competitors? It's Obama's only good performance

 

[Bandwagon]

no real reply again from Bandwagon.

Have you added something more that requires a reply?

I musta missed it.

 

[Suitman]

Oh dear.
And so it continues.

 

[Bandwagon]

That's your forte

So after 3 years of f**king up the border I'm meant to be impressed that after canceling it he seems to be taking interest in it after the damage? Please, get rid of the Gronk (Biden)

Your leftist media "comedians" literally mocked the wall from 2016 onwards and now they are trying to adopt it as your own after canceling it? Weird

Biden's next policy: Let's Make America Walled Again

I'ma just gonna leave this here

[Bandwagon]

And so it continues.

I dunno what you expect Suity, this here's a thread for politics and current affairs?

Now US politics is all kinds of f**ked up at the moment, and it aint likely to be getting any better any time soon. But it is entertaining.

Cheer-leading aside of course.

 

[strider]

Ok so it’s the vibe. “She looks drunk and cackles” is no different to the superficial “he mumbles incoherently” applied to Trump / Biden. There’s videos! Not the most intelligent way of assessing ability and leadership, but here we are. Populism and identity politics drives passionate opinions

===============

No she isn’t “in charge” of borders.

Can I just say something about borders. The government sat down with the Republicans and said ~ what do you think needs to happen at the border, where does money need to be spent, what strategies need to be implemented. That committee then drafted a detailed bipartisan bill that would go a long way to combating the flow across the southern border. It was a package that was carefully crafted with a lean towards republican ideals.

What has been happening since February? The MAGA merkins sabotaged it.

Republicans kill border bill in a sign of Trump's strength and McConnell's waning influence

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell encouraged GOP senators to pass an immigration and Ukraine aid deal. Just four of them supported it. In the end, even he voted no.

www.nbcnews.com

Senate Republicans block bipartisan border security bill for a second time

Democrats had forced vote to try to prove argument that Republicans are not serious about situation at US-Mexico border

www.theguardian.com

Yeah cool, Republicans are shit stains too .... they are all politicians. They all f**k around .... f**k knows how we trusted any of their leadership in recent years. .... BTW your source article says some Democrats also voted it down.

The other fun thing about USA law making is they f**k everything up with bills that are multi purpose. ie that one is also dishing out a f**kload more war money .... how does anyone know what those who vote against it are voting against. I believe many werent keen to keep funding killing people in Ukraine.

=======

Oh and ... seems like she did have her fingers in the pie ... maybe my terminology was a bit gruff

The heat was also on for Vice-President Kamala Harris, who was making her first trip to the border since being tasked with immigration policy by Joe Biden more than three months ago

Kamala Harris takes heat from both sides in daunting border visit

Vice-president faced with colossal task as migrants live with brutal reality of arduous journey and border restrictions

www.theguardian.com

=====

People on the frontline not so happy with what Biden n co did ...

They took the most secure border in our lifetime and they unsecured it,” Morgan told The National Desk during an interview on Tuesday morning.

It's not just the U.S, France turning their back on the globalists, about time too. Goodbye Macron, Albo and Biden. The Damage your ideology has done to anyone but boomers and champagne socialists is a legacy not to be proud of. It's time for the populist reckonings! Don't leave the basement anytime soon neckbeards

The crumbling of the French establishment

The surge in support for National Rally reflects the abject failure of Macron’s technocratic centrism.

www.spiked-online.com

"What was once unthinkable is now very much thinkable. RN could yet claim a parliamentary majority in the second round of the elections on Sunday. That means that, by this time next week, France may well have an RN government, with the 28-year-old Bardella as prime minister (he says he will refuse to form a government if he cannot command a majority of seats in the National Assembly)."

"All across Europe, populist parties are on the rise because – whatever their respective flaws or baggage – they are willing to challenge an elite consensus that has so manifestly failed"

Le Pen, Trump and Dutton incoming within months strap on babies

Worst market in the world? Good for old white pale male and stale boomers as Gen Z leftists calls them, bad for anyone looking to get in under Albozo. Looks like it's not the same for everyone in every country. As my comment about every country not having as bad of an economy before was deflected/ignored (e.g Japan houses for 250k in Tokyo with nationalist and protectionist low immigration policies), lets move back onto other unanswered topics! The place is currently cooked. I feel sorry for younger people that aren't getting any intergenerational wealth, you may as well throw in the towel at present. Time for change and it's coming, Biden didn't need to malfunction for us to shortly follow thereafter

Well yeah, housing affordability sucks balls. And it's all Albo's fault.

Australian housing is twice as expensive as the US

A new report suggests Australian housing is twice as expensive as that of the US and UK on a price-to-income basis. It also reveals that it’s cheaper to live in New York than most of our capital cities.

No Sarcasm!

Now do rental prices DOUBLING outside of Sydney after Covid hypochondriac policies, since the unprecedented immigration without the building program of a million a year Japan did for it's population with no immigration. Might not be Albo specifically but the party is in charge!

Joe Biden Mocked for Orange Appearance in Primetime Address

Mockery erupted online Monday night after President Joe Biden delivered a primetime address in which his skin appeared orange.

www.breitbart.com

ORANGE MAN BAD!


He is attempting to trick voters into believing it was actually Trump malfunctioning last week.

Took no journalist questions after, understandably. Trump up nationally and in swing states on every single credible poll. It's over.

Trump inches ahead of Biden nationally after prez’s disastrous debate: new poll

The survey of more than 10,000 registered voters, conducted between June 28 and June 30, found Trump with 44% support compared to Biden’s 43% backing.

Yeah, but what irks me the most is how all them brown folk created "the housing crisis" during Covid without even coming here.

They're taking all our jerbs and collecting all that sweet welfare and clogging up our roads sitting on their arse doin' nothing.

Strawman, not many care "what color" including me, or Trump or Dutton for that matter. I love all races if they are willing to leave "From the river to the Sea" at the door. A bit racist to assume white people aren't coming here too? We are quite frankly way past full in comparison to housing, only someone who doesn't have to race homelessness if one marginal thing goes wrong at the moment would be so glib.

They're taking all our jerbs and collecting all that sweet welfare and clogging up our roads sitting on their arse doin' nothing.

Yeah... Creating new jobs is nothing for Australians to get excited about when they are full before they get here. As for the latter, I'd be more worried about Shorten's NDIS honestly, strawman and hyperbole aside good luck living here on welfare unless they are getting priority public housing but as like medicare bulk billing it barely exists anymore under this lot. Mmm depressed wages from hyper immigration as some can literally not get an affordable rental away from there families never alone one near them due to nonexistent availability in a high inflation environment. Even if you have a mortgage good luck with the rates being on hold until they go up more. Albo is going to call it soon they can't wait any longer to go to election because they are all out of ideas.

History tells us two things

Firstly that every time the right need to boost their fortunes or deflect from their incompetence they'll scapegoat immigration / foreigners. Every. Single. Time.

Secondly, every time they do, there are dumb merkins who lap it up uncritically. Every Single. Time.

Fancy how ignorant you'd have to be to believe that the current housing affordability problem, that has been building for at least a coupla decades was caused by immigration over the last 18 months or so.

The housing shortage isn't a shortage of housing, it's a shortage of affordable housing. And affordability is a result of decades of policy, not a coupla years, only a dullard would attempt to contend otherwise.

1st paragraph, OK but it is immigration relative to housing not race. Deliberate choice to have historically unprecedented immigration when other countries have not. Unavailable and unaffordable housing affects an immigrant living in Harris Park aswell, nothing to do with race. Stop being racist.

2nd paragraph, OK? No one here is being the South Park meme "they took err jobs". So who is being uncritical?

3. That's great. It reached the tipping point, Albo accelerated it and did nothing to prevent. Type in a big regional area around our capital cities, oldlistings.com.au. Choose a working class suburb and then a house address up for rent currently on realestate.com.au, look at the prices per week from 2008-2020 increase slowly, then look at the literal doubling in price from there on. This is the data liberal party should source and show over and over and over. Several years compared to a couple of decides alright, nothing " over time" about it. Don't look at random obtuse example either. House prices not as dramatic but they may as well be with interest rates.

The 4th paragraph is the funniest.

"The housing shortage isn't a shortage of housing, it's a shortage of affordable housing."

I can't. I don't have to reply to this I could just end it here and let someone else make up their mind but it's low hanging fruit so I guess I will do the work for you.
Other than they need to build 2 more houses for every person currently arriving,
