No mention of Chris Cuomo and NBC along with that swell Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo
Wrong team I guess

Biden mentioned that he should resign and has no power to do more, so as he didn’t pronounce his innocence, wrong team I guess.

Chris Cuomo is a journalist for NBC has a show in the u.s. and NBC basically not doing much about him staying quiet about his brother

I cannot understand what you want, the US leader condemned him and asked him to resign. The extent of his power and decision.

Meanwhile you are seemingly comparing it with our PM that pronounced one's innocence, shuffled two ministers around cabinet, refusing still to provide the report into the actions of his office and now promotes an accused rapist to be leader of the house when the deputy is available to fill the position.

This is not about party, rather that there is virtually no accountability in our government. Sure, it is almost certain that the PM and his office was responsible for the sports rorts, but his accomplice McKenzie is now back in charge of more funds from the bushfires that still have not been passed on.

Taylor, Tudge, Robert, Colbeck, Joyce, Taylor, Cash, Laming and others that will come to me later have all done things that in past governments would have had them out of cabinet.

Edit; placed Taylor there twice, but there is more than one incident, so warranted.

Good to see the victim card and what aboutism alive and well.

So Morrison has just avoided and refused answering direct questions on his involvement in what is known as the car park rorts, basically admitting he and his office were hands on in another party based colour coded spreadsheet misuse of public funds.

How can any reasonable person vote to keep this man as our leader.

Gladys should not be the NSW premier because of her conduct and there is no way that she should be allowed to use covid as a shield from scrutiny.

Same with Morrison last week, wants to spend half an afternoon with an often to the point of being incomprehensible Doherty Institute presser and walks away from questions almost every time they relate to him.

In the US, Joe Biden is doing some incredible things:

1. In the midst of a global pandemic, with the economy naturally suppressed he pumps more money into the economy (prints more) that has ever been previously created and in a crushed economy he manages to push inflation to a 20 year high. Massive inflation + low growth = stagflation. Good times ahead for the US and global economy.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-core-consumer-inflation-moderates-in-july-11628686146

2. Biden withdraws US troops and less than a month later the Taliban have taken over pretty much all of Afghanistan except Kabul. Biden withdrew 3500 troops. Next week the US are sending in another 3000 troops to enable the evacuation of US embassy troops and then get everyone out before Taliban take over Kabul. Does Biden not remember what happened when Obama withdrew early from Iraq? The US will be back in Afghanistan within 3 years.

3. The man who Joe Biden proclaimed as "the smartest man I know", Hunter Biden has lost his third laptop, supposedly stolen by Russians as he explains to a prostitute he is banging and doing drugs with and filming on his (fourth?) laptop.

Can you imagine the media storm if ANY of these things happened under Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon.?

Biden is a protected species.

Yeah the Afghanistan thing was easily predicted. The national forces are going to get done big time as the Taliban are better armed and organised.

I get the argument that they have been there 29 years, its effectively "unwinnable" etc, but the US only had 3500 troops there and whilst it was obviously dangerous, the injury/death rate for a Brooklyn Police officer is higher at the moment than Afghanistan.

IMO they should have hung around as an ongoing "peace keeping" mission. What is happening now is horrific for the people of Afghanistan and will ultimately spill over into the world. I think they (and us?) will be back there and it will be harder and more deadly (as it was in Iraq).

As I understand it this is a bipartisan approach, which is probably why it has not received the attention (or criticism) it deserves. Less appetite in the media when there's no political skin to be gained.

Agree. They were gung ho to do it in the first place so they should have stuck it out, especially with the upheaval it caused. Obviously the lucrative contracts have all gone off tap.

I obviously agree with you agreeing with me.........but the "Stuck it out" part I thought needs addressing. I agree with critics that its an unwinnable war and as such, there is no "sticking it out". I dont actually know what the end game is but I see it as a long term "peace keeping mission: and as such, maybe over time (like 20+ years) it might pay back. The cost of the current commitment is unbelievably low relatively. Obviously the only reason for the pull out is optics and politics.

She's on a hiding to nothing, and she brought this on herself. She'll be hoping for some other drama to take the attention away from her.

Global pandemic, Taliban seize all of Afghanistan, new cold war between China and US, climate change... I might watch a bit of doomsday preppers tonight.
