Old Donald speaks about himself in the third person quite a bit.

Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon himself in the debate said he was ***the best president ever for black people*** with the ***possible*** exception of Lincoln.

LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964....but ok.

Of the 45 Presidents who have been in office, I reckon he’d be lucky to name 10 of them. When he goes on about being the greatest President since Lincoln, he probably genuinely believes it, because he doesn’t have any grasp of what Presidents of other era’s achieved.

You talking of Biden ? He seems not to know who the President is ! Oh dear be carefully what you wish for .. we all should be concerned of someone that could be so powerful and senile... hate will prove the greatest downfall!

I think the last 4 years has shown we can survive senility in the White House

I agree 100% with Joe here, the world cant take another 4 years of George...

Some context. The guy is not the sharpest, but he clearly still has a residual amount of a stutter that is displayed almost every time that he speaks, including in that clip and most importantly he is talking go GEORGE Lopez.

Senility ...... and incompetence, deceit, lies, weakness, subversion of the truth, a warped sense of reality under the guise of "fake news", social division; just a few off the top of my head. They (the USA) are already the laughing-stock of the free world and they won't survive four more years of Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. What then ?

As I say HATE will be the destroyer !there is no silver lining here..

Hypothetically, if a video surfaced of say....Don Jnr, engaging in sex acts and drug taking, with underage girls, you reckon you might read about in regular news sources?

Where is this video?

It exists, it has been widely distributed, originally uploaded to Chinese website...

Your point kinda makes my point, does it not?

Looks like the amateur psychiatrists are out in force on this thread.

It's not that different here. Australian High Court judges are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of cabinet (which acts on the advice of the Federal Attorney General). In the past, a Liberal government has appointed Sir Garfield Barwick (who had been a Liberal government attorney general) and a Labor government has appointed Lionel Murphy (who had been a Labor government attoney general).

The main difference is that the appointments are not made for life. The judges are required to retire at age 70.

I saw this article and it reminded me of this discussion we were having.

https://www.afr.com/companies/professional-services/kirby-and-gageler-top-liberal-judge-scores-20201021-p5676l

At least on the analysis done by this study there does appear to be a correlation between who appoints an Australian High Court judge and that judge's leanings on particular issues.

Very poor retort from Morrison on Victoria reopening motion in
parliament right now.

Just catching up on Frydenberg's effort, which was even worse. Without discounting the suicide death of the son of an acquaintance, that he alleges was because he lost his job and leaving aside the aged care issues, what about the many many lives lost due to their government's wholesale illegal Robodebt policy actions.

This is what the media has become: the Washington Post says "we must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation - even if they probably aren't".

Utterly ridiculous.

And it was funny how twitter was furiously purging any account that showed, linked to, or discussed the HB sex tapes - while at the very same time, was allowing the Guiliani video to trend. Anyone who thinks there are not different standards is blind.

the script says Biden... we can't alter the script of the left
or maybe Joe public will and vote 4 more years

For mine, the Hunter Biden laptop and its contents are the biggest story in this election. Not necessarily because of a potential link between Hunters dodgy actions and Joe, but because it has really laid bare the media apparatus and the social media complicity. People wring their hands that Russia or China or Iran are "meddling" in the democratic process. This pales into significance at the way that the US media and social media are actively curating the election result.

The Hunter Biden laptop, its contents including the emails, photos and videos were released by the New York Post, an established newspaper that is over 200years old. Immediately facebook, twitter and google locked into action crushing the story. The New York Post had its twitter blocked and if anyone tried to share a NY Post story it was banned on Twitter. The NY Post is still banned on twitter and it is not possible to share or link.

Also immediately we saw the US media (minus Murdoch outlets) jump to "this is Russian disinformation" even though the DNI has stated that it is not.

Why is it important? Well it is possible that all the Hunter Biden laptop and emails etc prove is that Hunter is a grub of a bloke and if Joe is truly not involved then it probably cant be held against him.....OR....Joe Biden the future President of the most powerful nation in the world was complicit and receiving cash and equity from China, Russia and Ukraine. Either way it is a story that needs to be heard out.

Ive seen many here suggest that the crush on the story by the MSM and social media is justified because the story seems dodgy and hasnt been verified. Well it is being investigated by the FBI and Senate Committee and that is story in itself. This is not the role of the media. The story is real, a reputable paper has published it. It is not up to Twitter to crush it, that is not how free press works. A media outlet has run the story, if it can be proven false, that is what defamation/Libel/Slander laws are for and they should be sued into oblivion along with Guliani.

Additionally TWitter and FB have extended further. Bret Weinsteins "Unity 2020" programme, Articles of Unity was designed to establish a viable third alternative and was running a campaign to run a moderate dem and a moderate republican together on the same ticket. It was going to be Dan Crenshaw and Tulsi Gabbard. Twitter has blocked Unity 2020 and Articles of Unity and it is still blocked, Bret Weinsteins FB page was banned and he was notified that there was nothing he could do about it and that it "had already been reviewed" by a human with no recourse. When he mentioned this to his many followers he was contacted by LIz Bourgeios (not her real name) and told that is was a computer error (despite previously stating it had been reviewed by a human). This is Liz Bourgeois Twitter page, see if you notice anything about the person in charge of Facebook comms and closing down pages on a politic basis.

The story has gone down like a lead balloon.

Thats kind of my point GNR. Are you suggesting that its gone down like a lead balloon because there is nothing in the story?

To be clear a story with corroborated emails that potentially tie Joe Biden to receiving equity based on CCP cash as well as potential other deals in Russia and Ukraine is nothing and nothing to see here?


I could see an argument that Hunters Bidens drug taking, sex vid's, allegedly with a minor are a reflection on Hunter and not necessarily Joe but the emails regarding the venture with CEFC, you see nothing in that?

The fact that the story has been crushed is the scariest part of this campaign.
