Don't get me wrong here, But I LIKE Donald Trump.

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, the fifth Roman emperor, was popular with the members of his Praetorian Guard and lower-class commoners in Rome and its provinces, but he was deeply resented by the Roman aristocracy. Most contemporary sources describe him as tyrannical, self-indulgent, and debauched.

 

Anyone believe in re-incarnation?

Trump and the Republicans have DESTROYED any hope of a RULES BASED  Country. What an example to the REST of THE WORLD.  Nev

That “beacon of democracy” has long been corrupted; just one example of how easily their politicians can be bought:

There is only one question to ask in relation to Trump.

 

Why?

 

Why take all those documents, move them around, and fail to return them when requested? What has he got to hide? What secrets do they have that he is so scared of them?

Remember Nixon's tapes?

a) he likes to collect souvenirs

b) he likes to show off his superior knowledge

c) he may have stuff he can use against people

d) he may have stuff he can make money from

e) the government wants it back which is reason enough to keep it because it’s ‘his’’ and nobody is going to tell him what to do.

f) he won the last election so he’s still the real president and can do what he likes.

Because he's an arrogant <insert worst noun you can think of here>

So he thinks.

Whats the phrase that has been getting thrown around with the brittany higgins case,
"don't theorise conspiracy, that which can be attributed to ineptitude" or something

[onetrack]

I love the screeching from the Orange One and his idiotic followers about the "massive (Democrat) corruption", behind any attempt to pin charges on him - but conveniently ignoring the fact that he's going to be judged by a judge he appointed himself!! Corruption of the Justice system? Nah, only the Democrats do that!!

[facthunter]

Spoiled BRAT needs "Bottie" smacked and get confined to the corner till he learns how to behave. It's ALL about HIM and always will be. IF HE gets in it will be revenge on everyone who didn't help him and the ultimate disaster for many   of the US and the world community. USA's Republicans are Instrumental in  the destruction  from WITHIN that TRUMP is.    Nev

How low can Fox go?

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

Sadly their press is less regulated than ours

 

And Fox is the most watched cable channel apparently

Is that a trick question?  There is no end to the depths they will go.  Whale crap in the Mariana Trench is miles above Fox's ethical standard.

[Jerry_Atrick]

Think it was more a rhetotrical question.

Nice to see Rupert's back on the payroll

[willedoo]

Saw this photo with an attached 4th. July comment "What kind of American patriot salutes a North Korean general?".

The photo reminds me of a particular Australian peanut PM saluting president George Dubelya Bush.

Maybe He's shading his eye from the limelight. I see "Little Rocket Man" keeping an eye on him

Interesting assessment of what is likely to happen if Trump gets re-elected: https://theconversation.com/politics-with-michelle-grattan-author-bruce-wolpe-on-the-shocking-consequences-for-australia-of-a-trump-24-win-209138

Sometimes I wonder if the U.S. has reached the point of no return when it comes to lunacy. It's bad enough that a whacko like Trump is the Republican presidential front runner, but then you get loonies like Robert Kennedy Jr. running for president. The poor dude should be in a psychiatric ward getting professional help, but there he is, aspiring to be the next president of Loony Land. One saving grace is that he has Buckley's chance of getting the republican nomination; he even makes Trump look relatively sane in comparison. Like all good paranoid conspiracy theorists, Kennedy is getting crazier and crazier. Delusion multiplies the more they indulge in it.

 

One of Kennedy's latest dreams is that covid targets caucasians and blacks, and that the Chinese are mostly immune from it. To counteract that, the U.S. is running secret biolabs in Ukraine to gather Russian and Chinese DNA so the U.S. can target people by race with germ warfare. No, problems, just your average presidential candidate.

Interesting article about administrative policy plans quietly being developed by pro-Trump Republicans in the event that he (or some other Republican) wins in 2024.

If Trump gets back in, Ukraine is stuffed. He's basically said that he would tell them to cede land to Russia or else he would cease arming them. No wonder putler loves him. If Pence got in, I guess they would stand a chance.

[facthunter]

If Trump gets back in the world is finished because Democracy would be finished in the place that constantly espouses it but doesn't practice it. All that matters in the USA is MONEY and having your brain rusted solid when it comes to having principles. We are not far behind here either.  The main concern is the $#!t they get fed  by the media and Greed.   Nev
