OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[the phantom menace]

New MAGA hat soon to be available

Make Albo Go Away

addendum, take that idiot Bowen with you

But if you buy this new one Delboy, what will you do with your current Trump one?

You can't wear them both at the same time... unless:

TikTok just shows you what the CCP wants you to see, which is anything that makes Westerners hate each other.

The deliberate and manufactured divide as a distraction tool between left and right in a 2 party preferred electoral system has been doing a great job of that long before tiktok or youtbe.

I see a lot of fundamentalisms in this thread and quite frankly it's bloody disturbing.

votes are still being counted e.g. California has only counted 60% so has about another 7m votes left
looks like trump will be a bit up on 2020 (maybe 74m) while Harris will be well down on what Joe got

Absolutely true.

Bruh he tried to claim that the worm brain guy was a democrat. He may have worn a blue tie in the 2023 primaries, but as you read here, nobody bought his BS.

The Kennedy family, having a proud tradition of being Democrats, all distanced themselves from him. The older family members, well they gracefully decline to comment. His brother Joseph and sister Kathleen have actively spoken out against him.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. drops his Democratic primary bid, will run as an independent

The decision by Kennedy adds a wrinkle to a 2024 race that's heading toward a likely rematch between Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican ex-President Donald Trump.

While Kennedy has long identified as a Democrat and frequently invokes his late father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle President John F. Kennedy on the campaign trail, he has built close relationships with far-right figures in recent years. He appeared on a channel run by the Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and headlined a stop on the ReAwaken America Tour, the Christian nationalist road show put together by Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Polls show far more Republicans than Democrats have a favorable opinion of Kennedy.

So in your eyes on the basis of smear campaigns, he was never a democrat .... ok .... failed gronksplain

He always said he was a democrat ... and they all loved him campaigning for environment issues ..... he campaigned for a bunch of democrats for decades - gore, kerry, clinton, obama

but when he started raising anti war and health issues, he got on the wrong sign of the big corporate political donors ... and well, thats a political death to any american on any side of politics these days .... dont f**k with the oligarchy's money spinners

He was gonna run in the 2023 democrat primaries, but they f**ked him over .... cos they want puppets, not a president who will have their own opinions ..... they analed him so he gave them big f**k you ... when he was still in the race as an independent he was mostly taking democrat votes away from sleepy joe cos many dems didnt want joe .... probably plenty of those votes went back to democrat when they propped up the next inanimate like object for the anything but trumpers .... in the end he aligned with someone who will give him a chance to have a voice

Cmon admit it you were wrong.

There was no insinuation. As I said, I am not singling anyone out. Fact is there was a considerable amount of rascists, bigots and paedophiles who felt content to be who they are when Trump was in power last time. It is sure to return them from hiding this time around. If it doesn't hit close to home then why worry??

I don't think the Democrats ran a very good race overall. Particularly changing candidates when they did. They lost. My post still stands.

Pedophiles? ... lol ... i think you are mistakenly thinking the Hollywood highflyers were going all in endorsing Trump ... wrong side mate

Nobody is bought it mate. Nobody bought that Clive Palmer was an independent and nobody buys your bullshit either. Puppets lol.

If he was a true Democrat like his family wouldn’t be in bed with all the luntics. What a circus.

RTBU is reported in the media today to be ramping up industrial action from Novenber 14 - the specific details are in this notice:
https://fightingforourfuture.com.au...trial-Action-Km-Reduction-24-Hour-running.pdf
Basically, they're refusing to work at all unless the government starts running the entire suburban and intercity network 24 hours a day on Thur/Fri/Sat nights.

Plus the work bans on how many kilometres a day they can travel, meaning that by Jan 1 the most a suburban driver could work in a day would be a single round trip to Penrith, or for intercity they could basically only work a single one-way trip on most lines.

I'm going to assume that without a breakthrough there is going to be a heavily reduced timetable from that date.

And also, since when do unions get to set government policy? It's not up to them to decide they want half the fleet operating at 3am on a Sunday morning because they want their members getting paid a bucket load of shift penalties and overtime for working then.

Light rail to slow to a crawl as union ramps up demands

Sydney Commuters face frustratingly slow light-rail trips as industrial action linked to a wages dispute between drivers and...

www.standard.net.au

From the article:


“Drivers will set a 10km/h speed limit on all light rail services in the city from Monday, as part of escalating industrial action, the Rail, Tram and Bus Union said on Wednesday.
The speed limit will only be lifted if the NSW government cut passenger fares to 50 cents, the union added.”

The f**king arrogance of the unions. The RTBU and the ETU are really f**king this state over with their greedy and completely unreasonable demands. 50 cent fares? Lol.
Current fare income for PT is about $1.25 billion a year. Just a quarter of the actual operating costs. Sydney transport is actually really cheap already, with a $50/week cap.
They don't give a shit how much more it costs us NSW taxpayers. Imagine cutting fares to 50 cents? How many schools and hospitals won't be built with that loss of income?
Anyone who supports these actions should have a good hard look at themselves.

Do tell, which Hollywood highflyers are (allegedly) dabbling where they shouldn't be?
