Released by the FBI ? No released by the republicans. A cynic might say …..

But the meme you criticise specifically says "Beware of any ideology... be it historical, political, or religious".

So it's not claiming religion is about division and everything else isn't, as you claimed.

It is saying to beware of any divisive ideology, including but not limited to religious ideology. Do you have any points of disagreement with the actual meme content?

There are groups of people that believe different things. Who is best placed to decide what is divisive and what isn’t? We aren’t all the same and never will be.

Harris will end up beating Trump. My Republican mates are worried.

I think we're all pleased that Coles and Woolies are being held to account. Even if it's just tokenism.





This is Mrs Gronk after a big shop.

At least when Trump is defeated for a second time, the Republican party might go back to doing what it should be doing and is good at - offering a centre-right policies and a centre-right option for presidential candidate to the American people.

Instead of a megliomaniac personal political quest.

Yes, they need to find a nice guy that appeals to conservative traditions without feeling the need to be super weird. This “shock and scare” approach by Trump Dutton et al is designed to mobilize voters by framing elections as battles for the nation’s future; ooga booga action is needed ! to prevent the other side from destroying our way of life !

After a while, even the low information people will go, um really ?

Catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky, hey whoa
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go

Well we do have a housing affordability crisis (truth) and fingers are being pointed at the government for not doing enough (also truth). So if (the changing or abolition of) negative gearing isn't the answer, what is ?

 

[T.S Quint]

Hmmmmm, the Real Estate Institute of Australia thinks it's a bad idea to get rid of negative gearing. I'm sure they have no incentive to keep house prices up.

Their argument of there will be less investment properties which means less properties for people to rent doesn't stand up because it means there will be more affordable houses for people to BUY.

Less immigrants. We don't have the room for them. Once we have enough houses then let them in.
And tax the Chinese more if want to buy up our land

So.you design a pyramid scheme?.It's not sustainable unless want 100 million people
You need to establish a tower society similar to Germany. Stable populations.
We need less humans not more for the environment.
Bringing in 250,000 people from.the sub continent and dumping them out west isn't the answer.

Germany has the same skilled migration policy as us.

Anerkennung in Deutschland - Immigration of skilled workers

The new Skilled Immigration Act makes immigration easier for skilled workers from third countries.

Skilled migration made you a powerful millionaire. Family reunion policies attached to skilled migration is compassionate. That's what countries like us do. By saying "out west" I am guessing you mean more affordable ? BTW nobody who is accepted under the skilled migration visa scheme is "dumped". There are two types subclass 190 and employee sponsored 491. These people Make Australia Great Again.
