OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[the phantom menace]

Trump is the most dire leader possibly ever to be elected.

Who were his main defenders in here... H111, Strider, maybe Avenger, and probably Pou

How's it going now fellas? Still liking what this chump brings to the table?

If the Yanks do eventually go to a new election and elect a democrat, I would love to see Kamala be the New AG to go after this dickhead.

Trump is a psychopath, but Kamala is a useless pawn who if not for good work on her knees would be flipping burgers at Wendy’s

One good thing about the US System is Mid-Terms, It gives the people the opportunity to tell whomever's in charge what they think.

That's a tad hysterical.

What Kamala Harris's years as a prosecutor tell us about her

A look back at the Democratic candidate's career in California shows her struggle to define herself to the public began long before she came to Washington.

Her career trajectory was the only thing that was hysterical.

she wasn’t picked on merit as a VP, it was to appease and appeal to the minorities. Old white man chooses younger WOC as future of the party blah blah. The plan for her to take over mid-term and usher Biden out the back door was abandoned when they realised even senile Joe was still a better option than this fruit loop, and when she was parachuted into a presidential race by default with a half a lap lead, she fumbled and stumbled her way into losing by the length of the straight. Fell straight on her face.

Trump might be blowing the US economy to bits, and destroying trade relations with the globe, but at least he has a plan, however ego-driven it is. His failures come about through haphazardly saying what he thinks out loud, but making the US stronger is always his target, whether rational or not in his approach.

That's why it would be interesting. If what you say is true she would fumble it worse then Merrick Garland, if its not the golden dick might be in for a rough retirement.

dont think we'll see a Lib PM for some time, it'll be ages before they get a majority back

don't underestimate the power of Labor to blow themselves up

 

[bazza]

IIRC most of the Teals are Libs who lost preselection

I don't think that is true for most. I don't think any were formerly members of a political party. though 20 years ago they may have found a home in the Liberal party

Dai Le was a former Liberal party member
Andrew Gee was a former Nationals
Andrew Wilkie was first elected in the Greens
Bob Katter is a former Nationals
Pauline Hanson is a former Liberal

 

[bazza]

I read somewhere lately ( maybe even here ) the average Liberal Party member is a 70yo White Male.

These are the folk that do pre-selection.

hence why some of their selections were so terrible

I said Teals not independents.

What you said was hysterical is that " if not for good work on her knees would be flipping burgers at Wendy’s".

She is a very capable lawyer, who certainly achieved more than most . Partisanship aside, it's not hard to concede that.

 

[bazza]

I said Teals not independents.

I believe Kate Chaney's uncle was a Liberal party senator and Allegra Spender's dad was a liberal MP
Don't know if either of them were actual members of the party

For the other "teals" I don't think they have any links to the Liberal party

It is funny that so many incompetent males rise to positions of power yet no one says that is because they are great at blow jobs

 

[the phantom menace]

It's because they're probably better at reach arounds....

 

[Bandwagon]

Besides, everyone knows women only ever gain high position if they're good at blow-jobs.

How else could that shit happen?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Not defending the Kamala comment, because it was stupid. But how did we extrapolate from Kamala to 'all women'?

His failures are due to a pure lack of understanding. He's the dope that thinks that the exporting nations are the ones paying the new tariffs. Now he can't understand why Walmart execs want to put prices up.

 

[Gronk]

That country with their mad merkins and guns. That aside, they do seem to have odd way of dealing with murder. It seems they are kinda outraged at some murders and really outraged at others.
