Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

[jadtiger]

The schisms in the USA are getting wider and not just based on politics or race.Inequality and poverty have made it a very divided nation.America badly needs something to unite the country Covid-19 could have been it but being indecisive and downgrading the issue by the administration at the start only made a larger chasm
The last 6 months in the USA has seen the greatest challenge i can recollect since the Cuban missile crisis and the racial equality problems of the 60s.They need compassionate leadership but i am buggered if i can see it happening in the near future even after the election.
I am perfectly sober and very thankfull i live in Australia and not the USA,i certainly think we are failing badly on climate change here and could support the underpriveliged more but it is a far better country than the USA

Twitter have the nerve to fact check him and he signs executive orders. Can you imagine if Twitter actually did their job and policed all his other unhinged, baseless accusations of murder and corruption. He’d call Jack Dorsey a traitor and call for his execution.

Great post and one on which we can almost totally agree, though the effects of policies and deregulation are paramount, remaining at the heart of the issues, both for the economy and environment.

The disproportionately low taxes on the rich have only exacerbated society's chasm since January 1st 2018, and despite the rhetoric, the country was not in good shape, as it's current collapse shows. I will post something more recent to show this when I see it.

You posed the words **"Can you imagine if"** above and maybe the stable genuis should be thinking such of himself, as should his people. Such as, can you imagine the difference if he had acted in response to the needs and safety of his people, when told what was coming by medical officials in February, as quickly as he has in his own interests this week?

That Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon is not soaring in the polls shows just how poorly he has performed, as history shows that even a half arsed approach easily wins the public sentiment. That he has deferred to others is the reason his support is historically low.

Edit; Not personally acknowledging the ticking over of 100,000 deaths as it passed, will only further the public anger.

Yeah, your modern taxation version of 3 people having more wealth than half of the country works great, as the millions not having health cover and standing in food lines today clearly shows. Not to mention those millions working a 40 hour week, yet only earn an amount well below the poverty line. Great system.

How did your latest championed tax cuts from 2018 work out, that's right, they didn't and there is plenty of data to show it.

@GNR4LIFE So going back and looking at your posts, you were pushing for Bloomberg, then Biden then Mafia boss Cuomo, still think any of those have a chance or are you happy with Creepy representing your values as a liberal?

I’m interested to know how you think Biden is racist for what he said, but you will presumably make a case for how Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon isn’t after he told 4 congresswomen, 3 of which born in the US to go back to their own countries.

It doesnt matter what i think, its what your own party thinks about it. Imploding.

I bemused by the obsession with US politics on this forum. I thought GNR was Australian so i'm not sure why his party would be situated in the US. There is enough rubbish in Australian politics without focusing on the rednecks from " the land of the free and home of the brave " ( except if your poor, Hispanic or black).

People protesting George Floyd’s death - Thugs

Lunatics turning up armed to the Michigan Senate House - Fine people. Liberators.

About time that this mongrel government finally gave up on their illegal Robodebt actions, of which Morrison was the initial architect. All Australians should be angry about this, costing us a lot of dollars, separated families and tragically many lives as a result, the true number we will never now.

Typical late Friday announcement of that they don't want discussed.

And that clown Stuart Roberts delivers the news. Only the class action has forced their hand. More money to be paid out.

Scomo's certainly racking up the wins. if this continues another Maccas Engadine experience might be unplanned.

Yeah, and Twitter censored this exact tweet in a basically up yours approach to his so called executive order earlier in the day, that has been described as little more than a signed speech.

Hard to believe that Barr as Attorney General can act in such a sycophantic manner by standing alongside the rambling buffoon in this charade of a supposed order signing, which wasn't even a signing. He knows full well that he is talking crap but allows him to do it nonetheless, knowing that he should be representing the people, rather than the buffoon.

Edit; thought I'd add a photo of him when he wakes up to find out.

I have been out for nearly 3 hours and have come back to the find the foolish president of the USA is actually condoning and exhorting violence in a tweet which twitter has blocked.What few brain cells he had to start with seem to be deserting him

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He’s gonna go ballistic. Expect another multi tweet meltdown. Don’t be fooled though, part of him would love this. He needs a boogeyman. He needs someone/something to be at war with.

The tweets were deliberate to generate that exact reaction. Now he can claim censorship and blocking presidential speech. He may be a lot of things but stupid isn’t one of them.

Riots and civil disobediance is a very poor outcome and reflects very badly on anybody who wants to reach the highest position in the country.America is now reaching a very critical point a decent leader is needed now more than ever,sadly they only have an egomaniac who thinks only of themselves.
America does not need racial issues to go with covid-19 but that idiot dosent seem to care about "collateral" damage

On one hand you are right, but on the other, the last few weeks he’s been as unhinged as he’s ever been in the last 3 years. The incompetent way he’s handled the pandemic has got him tanking in the polls, supposedly even internal polling looks bad. His response has been to go off the deep end, openly making murder allegations, patting armed lunatics on the back for trying to invade a political building, now threatening to go in and have people shot. It’s as if he’s starting realise there is a genuine possibility he won’t survive November. The scary thing is, if he loses in November, he’ll get even worse. There’s no telling what kind of damage he’ll try to cause between November and January. He won’t care, he’s only out for himself.

"MAGA is make America great again. By the way, they love African American people, they love black people. MAGA loves the black people", when asked about his tweets for his MAGA crew to come to the WH protest stoking more racial violence.

Maybe watching a bit more media and comments of African Americans about there previous President and deaths under his watch and how nothing has changed .. these comments were from the coal face IN THE RIOTS not in a studio or on fox news !!
But hey that does not fit into the agenda of types on this site that are fixated one way ! Very sad actually that some can not have as overall viewpoint !

 

[Tiger5150]

America is broken and dying and both sides of politics in the US are responsible. Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon is NOT the man to fix this and neither is Biden. I dont know who is but Biden is incapable and is a sock puppet of the Democratic machine. Years of the Democrats and the MSM pedalling a fake narrative aimed at the transition of power and wealth and the Republicans railing against with mindless obstruction have sown the seeds that are fruiting today.

A lot of us look on from afar as weird spectators like it is a sport and we back "our team" without the understanding of what this means for us as Australians and for what it means on a global basis. Nature abhors a vacuum and as the US crumbles that which will fill that void will not be beneficial.
