Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

That's the whole point mate, 'Murica for all the democracy 'we the people' talk it does, it is not one. Its a Republic. The irony of any Murican that spruiks freedom and democracy is mind numbing, but then again these are the people that on a whole elected Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon and Biden, 2 of the worst Presidents in history in a row. Its a 3rd world country with money. Just look at their health system, its an embarrassment the world over. Neither party will ever do anything about it as it appears an agreed upon thing to use it as a perpetual election promise. The collective IQ of that country is staggering, whether its the Qanon red til dead or the twitterverse blueanons, Blue no matter who. That's why I think Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon will be re-elected.

America is one of the wealthiest countries on the world but is also probably the most ignorant first world country on the planet.It has always been very insular in nature and poorly educated compared to the rest of the developed nations,this is a very dangerous combination especially with it's military power.
The worst possible situation imho is the rise of a dictator there which is why a Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon return to power would be a nightmare for the whole world

Stop with the blasé rhetoric, he was already in power for 4 years and a dictator he aint. The current President is busy selling/laundering billions of dollars in arms rather than brokering a peace deal and has the world on the edge of a nuclear war, not Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. But Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon was mean on Twitter, so I guess its close.

You are entitled to your opinion however it was Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon who tried to overturn his election defeat and was complicit in attempting an insurection against that result.That is very much dictatorial behaviour,i would hope that that whoever sits in the white house (USA) from whatever side of politics it is has a lot more respect for democracy then Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon does.

Both sides seem to have no respect for 'democracy'

The Obama administration was the instigator of the illegal coup in Ukraine which led to the crap over there.

The U.S. needs worldwide counterweights to bring out the best in their democracy.

Anyway the overwhelming majority of Europeans favored a more balanced diplomatic stance re Russia but got pushed into a proxy war for U.S. interests which will lead them to ruin.

Regardless of peoples political leanings id ask if you could watch this doco. Its very graphic but im sure like me you will find it quite mind blowing and unimaginable it is happening in this day and age. My point to this is not to bash any side but just to merely demonstrate the extent of things happening in the world that we probably should know about but have been deliberately shielded from.
Once again , its a crappy rainy day anyway so i hope people can have a watch and perhaps post their thoughts and reactions.

Great video. Lived in the States for a bit and it is a true shithole.

How many wars did Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon start? Biden on the other hand, You have no idea.

The democrates have been trying to overturn Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon's election since 2016. Still continuing to this day. Get your facts right. Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon told the legitimate protesters to go home PEACEFULLY. So much for incitement.

I have to agree,Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon never had a war while he was in office,he also visited Nth Korea while he also was allowed into the Chinese Forbidden Garden that no one else was ever allowed into..the American economy was performing very well also...
Yeah people hate Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon but have a look at the country now,open borders with illegals,defund the police and yet crime is at its all time high,drug cartels in fights with border patrols and on it goes...
Some people just have to look at all sides of the argument before making judgments....

The Biden and Brexit examples are much more akin to opposites than alike, and Australia shows differently as I type regarding the first bit, at least for now.

There would be some that would not vote for Biden again, but if Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon ran against him in 2024, he would fail again and by more than the 10% he trailed him last time around, losing the popular vote for a third time.

You hope.

We mightn't agree on too much, but we certainly can in the case of most of the information provided by this young Aussie on his channel being good and relevant.

I have been watching his Perun channel on YouTube for a couple of months now, since first catching it by accident. Most of it is just real meat and potatoes stuff on the conflict and it's logistics, the most important stuff.

Yeah but Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon wrote mean tweets and said that women with consent “They let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pu##y", so ya know, a total monstrous dictator that left unchecked would have brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. And he was impeached in the House for asking about crimes the Biden family committed and he basically literally walked 10000 people to the Capital Building and opened the doors and let people in with all the capital hill cops doing the same, so a total insurrectionist.

That's much more worse than anything the '10% to the Big Guy' could ever do, its not like he's handlers are instrumental in backing the world to the edge of nuclear wa.....

......Funny how the current administration has turned out to be everything the previous one was touted to be.

 

[BossHog]

You hope.

The problem the Democrats have is Biden is clearly senile so who knows if he will even make it to 24, the guy cant even remember which way to walk off stage with his little t-rex arm dementia shuffle that he does. And Harris is completely unlikable and unelectable. So what are they going to do? To make matters worse when the Republicans win the house in a months time they already have (various reports) anywhere from 8 to 14 articles of impeachment written ready to go against Biden, so just like the Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon tribalism impeachments he too will be impeached numerous times by the House just because the Democrats lowered the bar on impeachment so much it'll be the process forever now with whatever group is in the majority of the house. Its a head scratcher for the Democrats.

Back in January, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) mused about impeachment on his podcast. He suggested it had become more likely because Democrats had “weaponized” impeachment against Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” he said.

Go woke, go broke

One of these insufferable woke companies just got a touch of reality. They couldnt back peddle fast enough. Real life isn't twitter filled with blue'anon bots.

You’re wasting your time. Joined a few weeks ago, every post in here or the Ukraine thread. I’m not sure he even watches football. Putin apologist and MAGA. Best ignored.

Attack the person not the argument. Seems to be a common characteristic of your ilk. One can see why these threads are so lop sided. "You’re wasting your time: Others have clearly thought the same and left the 'echo chamber of wisdom and circle jerk' to your own thoughts.

I'm fond of Yoss, top quality poster.
But the 'putin apolagist' shit cracks me up

Not interested champ. Trying watching some games. I’m putting you on ignore. Got no problem with dissenting opinion but you’re a dull, tiresome far-right nutter so I’d rather stick with the adults. I look forward to seeing you actually make a post about the Wests Tigers.
