Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

[Abraham]

This is such a load of BS its not funny. The left never owns anything … ever.

From the Bernie-bro who shot up the republican baseball practice, to Ralph Northam dressing in KKK attire, to Bob Menendez rooting underage prostitutes, to Justin Fairfax and Keith Elliston's rape allegations, they own up to nothing! You've made this comment before, and it was a lie then, just like it's a lie now.

And by the way this mosque shooter is an ex-communist, ex-anarchist, ex-libertarian, current eco-fascist and Pagan. He explicitly states in his manifesto (that we aren't allowed to talk about) that he despises current conservative politics.

To label him 'Right Wing' is absurd.

Why can't people just say that he is a psychopath instead of trying to stick him in a box that they can then use to demonise their political rivals. Its pathetic.

Here we go again, someone arguing against the opinion of all professionals that I have heard, along with everyone I have ever discussed the effects of a governmental narrative with, including right leaning mates, yet believes strongly in a deity. Go figure.

Must think that they carry on with such crap for no reason or political gain.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Has anyone from the left ever accused the right of framing them?

 

[Crucible]

Ah,I thought I was the only one that seemed to have a clue about the looney left. Im glad there are like minded people on this forum. Having said that, The Liberals have done an appalling job Federally and put an unelectable Premier to run the State, proving once again Head Office folk don't give a fig about what we think. As for Labour. Bill Shorten as PM ? Think I might move to Norfolk Island. Do they have Fox 502 ?

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Look over there, it's all Labor's fault!

Of course Morrison won't put Hanson and other right wing nut jobs last. Their views aren't too far from his own as his own reported statements have shown. Hanson is only a little more spiteful in how she says it.

 

[Abraham]

Without any substantive backing (your weird bedfellows not included), i cant take what you say seriously.

I don't think anybody does.. or has.. ever.

 

[Abraham]

And just as a side note, cut the "deity" BS out.

Your a confused atheist, congratulations, you don't need to mention it in every second post.

 

[Crucible]

But it is !!!!

 

[Tim Sheens]

So someone who posts on here as a loud and proud right wing, gun toting, anti Muslim, greed is good Christian does not want to another to mention a deity in a discussion relating to a religious killing.

The unfortunate Slomo Shouty McShoutface compares unfavourably with Jacinta Adhern. While Scotty the Clown attends Shire Live, it is Jacinta who demonstrates the real values of caring and love for her people. Don't worry, come may, we will have Manus and Nauru available for Shouty, Duddon, Abbott, Porter, Hunt and all the other ratbags from the rabid right.

 

[Abraham]

An Atheist walks into a mosque and kills 50 people, and you want to take a condescending swipe at my Christian faith?

It takes a special type of un-selfaware ignorance to do that. No surprises there at all.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Alright settle down, no more personal attacks thanks, otherwise posts start getting deleted.

 

[Crucible]

Would expect nothing less from the looney left than your stunning piece of prose. If bereft of anything intelligent to say, just attack. It's always been the looney left's approach to everything and its great that we have such a cross-section of society on this forum. We have the intelligent, well informed and mature and then we have you.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Let us wait for Scooter to release the unedited Cabinet minutes from that particular meeting, so we can all judge what our caretaker PM is really like. Interesting the press have multiple sources
corroborating what the Flim Flam Salesman said. As for the looney left that would mean a moderate when viewed from Scooter's position

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Check out the POTUS’ twitter feed over the last couple days, then you’ll see what loony really means.

 

[jadtiger]

There is little chance of that happening we will have to wait the required number of years before it becomes public.CYA is very much in vogue with the current pm

 

[Tim Sheens]

Fair enough, though very minor (in my view), I allowed myself to engage with someone that has a history of creating foes.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Jacinda Arden is such an impressive leader, and brings such humanity to the world stage.

Today's reference to Gallipoli reminds me of an expression the All Ferns soldiers had on Gallipoli when a soldier complained about conditions which were ridiculously tough. His mate would say "next you'll be expecting flowers on your grave".

 

[Crucible]

I agree she has been impressive, but to suggest she 'brings humanity to the world stage' is a little over the top. Most people in North and South America,Russia, China (should I keep going) couldn't tell you where NZ is.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Jacinda Arden is such an impressive leader, and brings such humanity to the world stage.

Yeah, sure is. Well prior to the tragedy, she has long been prioritising a message of kindness, empathy and well being.

I remember seeing the contrast with our leaders a little while back when they were back to back on TV and the difference was stark, with an emphasis on control and numbers on our end.
