Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

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 !

Don't you dare conflate the issues at hand and referred to in my post. This is about rascism and the president calling out to his patriot MAGA supporters "who love the country", that his words obviously refer to in my quote, video link and his earlier tweet quoting rascist calls of the sixties. I'll give you a hint, they aren't black and they aren't the pensioners at home avoiding the virus.

They are these type of guys, you know, like the militia style ones that should be out there hunting the tyrranical government police officers that killed their fellow citizen, you know, the "fine people" that were yelling and spitting in the faces of officials when protesting at the behest of their leader recently.

Or their friends

Or some of his other "good people" that certainly didn't vote for the former leader

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.

Can certainly agree with your first sentence and part of the last paragraph.

Trouble with the person that I think would bridge a lot of the racial divides and bring the youth along whilst taking a new post covid direction, is that Bernie is now another 4 years older and with an almost stranglehold of the federal judiciary and supreme court by conservatism, following this administration's stockpiling of positions, it's likely that change would be hampered by them.

Edit; watch how McConnell and co's fervour for hearings of appointees reaches fever pitch as the election approaches and despite his ridiculous blocking of a single Obama one about nine months prior to the last election, I reckon they will continue their ruse after November and right up until the inauguration of the next president in mid January.

Yes, of course it has gone this far backwards in three years. Which other the president since God knows when would have publicly called these type of people anything like good or nice, or mentioned shooting looters?

That's right, probably none in your lifetime!

Previous President’s wouldn’t been more outraged over a NFL player taking a peaceful knee to the ground, opposed to a police officer taking a knee to the back of a man’s head. Ironic that the NFL players motivation was to protest situations like the second scenario. Yet what outrages you more I wonder.

Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon is and always will be a confrontationalist and aggressive person.He has always attacked everything that he believes stands in his way no matter how benign it is.America needs leadership and a moderator in control of the country,that simply can not happen under his presidency.
At the moment 9 cities are in curfew and quite possibly more will follow if the civil unrest continues.The USA is poised on the brink of anarchy just as it was in the 70s with the Civil rights movement/Vietnam war .
It needs someone over there to take the iniitiative and pull the country together and not tear it apart as the twit on twitter likes to do.I have no idea who that person is but an alternative is required quickly

Bobby for president! 🙁

There aren't anymore leaders these days that would quote Sophocles or Aeschylus...

Bit of a worry with reports of the military having silencers on their assualt weapons, a social media blackout and then safe bot war, and a huge fire raging in Washington DC.

Remember when he told Iran the world was watching when they had all their protests? You could write a book on the amount of times his tweets have contradicted themselves.

Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon is speaking tough and bringing the armed forces into the mess now not just the national guard.Meanwhile he continues to blame so called left wing governors/mayors and terrorists(protestors) for the disaster that is unfolding.As always everyone else is at fault except for him.Adding fuel to what is already an alarming situation.

 

[jadtiger]

Just watched a video of someone driving a vehicle at speed through a line of police in Buffalo NY,unknown at this stage if any fatalities amongst them but it is clear that some are injured.
It needs someone with a calm wise approach to bring some form of sanity back to the USA urgently

We all know who he’d blaming if Obama was still POTUS

Imagine if this was happening under Hillary. All those pizza-gate buffoons would be salivating.

It's a very sad situation over there right now and really highlights the underlying hate that exists in the US. Greatest country on earth it is not.

The really strange thing is many Americans believe that the rest of the world envies them and wants to be like them.

Houston Police Chief @ArtAcevedo: “Let me just say this to the President of the United States, on behalf of the police chiefs of this country: please, if you don’t have something constructive to say, keep your mouth shut.”

Imagine a president that whilst talking about the second amendment rights in the rose garden, his trampling all over the first amendment rights of his suffering constituents can be heard in the background as they are unlawfully tear gassed and bombarded at his direction, so that he could have a photo shoot at a church.
