OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[King-Gutho94]

I just cant imagine any Australian politician behaving like any of those American pollies.

Are we as passionate about politics as the yanks though.

For some Americans the politics for some is like what Sport is for us.

That's what leaders like Trump feed off

In Australia who really has a passion for politics unless your in it like you do for a sporting team or teams.

Put it this way no Aussie Pollie is getting a massive turn out to do a speech to sell themselves to the voters.

Pretty funny ... the look on their faces when she started was priceless .... they think they are kings of the world atm. Didnt see that coming ... lol

So the Pardon thing is ok only when Biden and the Dems do it??

I can't fathom how you extracted this from what I posted.

 

[Gronk]

You really need to be grabbed by your pussy.

You're doing that fake alpha thing again.

The reason for that is our constitution does not allow ‘absolute power’ like what the POTUS holds. If we did, more people would give a f**k.

So vote Greens instead

the greens platform is generally that people can be trusted to do the right thing and that they want the world to be a better place
That is not something that aligns well with miserable folk

 

[Avenger]

You're doing that fake alpha thing again.

And you’re virtue signalling again and fighting for minorities just because they are minorities. You’re a shallow moron.

Australians are too scared to let the head of state be someone from Australia - let alone give them power to do anything

We all agree that the pardon thing has been over used. Biden has used it not to release people from prison, but to cocoon people from vexatious prosecution.

Same way Trump pardoned his kids in 2020.

Who did Donald Trump pardon? What to know about Charles Kushner, Steve Bannon, other top allies

During his first term in office, Trump granted 144 pardons, which included distant family members, some of his closest allies and others.

www.usatoday.com

His kids? ... which one is his kid? ... his son inlaws dad? .... well thats a creative family tree

You find it so hard to even occaissionally just flat out say the people on your side of the fence suck sometimes ... cant just say what he did is f**ked and the exact same thing HE and others bitched n moaned Trump would do but is wrong .... gotta add some diversional cherry ontop to try and sweeten it .... oh its only cos the other side are baddies .... you are sooooo propagandised

 

[Gronk]

One day you will work out what it means. Better, you should point out which bits are VS right now.

Yep, he’s the fakest merkin who posts on here. None of his Eastern Suburb chums post in here, maybe he would go better in the Goosters political thread??

Well that escalated quickly.

lol, Biden does the exact same thing that the left and media were accusing Trump of doing. Now Pardons are a little overdone lol. The media are in a Tiz over a salute and how bored Trump was during a church service lol.

Meanwhile the Blue state of California is still burning…….

 

[hineyrulz]

Well that escalated quickly.

You tend to bring it out in people, I’m sure that’s a me problem though. Right?

 

[King-Gutho94]

I think the next 4 years under the Don is going to be hilarious viewing as a neutral observer to see the hard woke lefties not only squirm but be hypocritical over everything Trump does.

Some are already losing it and its only 3 days into a 1460 day tenure.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

What Biden did was protect his family from endless prosecution from this political enemy's but also open up his family and all those he pardoned at the last minute to scrutiny.

But if you haven't been noticing Elron is a Nazi you haven't been watching for the past few years.

Is Albo as bad as Dutton, no. Is he an inspiring leader, well he may have been once in his youth but time makes most people move to the centre.

The stock market surging on a trump election would have happened regardless of who took office, an election means the end to an almost 2 years cycle of doubt as to the future 4 years of the American "Experiment".

So what upset you this morning ?

Yes, some of us are that passionate and I've witnessed it and spoken out against it. Not all of us are, much like all the Americans who didn't vote.

I spoke at a large gathering some time ago when I was VP of our Chamber of Commerce and pretty much everyone up here was a Nat and even the local member National Party member attended most events.

There was an upcoming election and I spoke about local issues and that people should be considering them before they cast their vote and stop following their preferred party like it was a football team, as that is how passionate most, or all attendees were.

They literally didn't give a f**k about policies, as long as their "team" was voted in at state and federal elections.
Soon after I was nominated for president of our local chamber because I was non partisan, so it made a lot of people think.

That said, Its much worse nowadays, we are becoming like the yanks in that a lot of life's issues are based on whether you are left or right leaning and that is very apparent when reading people's posts here.

There is a lot of support here for a convicted felon rapist from another country, but hey, he bats for your team and that's all that matters, although I'm not sure how anyone could support either.

Politics is poison.

No, everyone was hyper-critical in this thread when he pardoned Hunter too.

Just saw this, Moron huh ?
