Let’s be honest. Crime is contained by police professionals including detectives trained to do the job. Not military personnel who are trained for something else.
haven’t been paying attention.
Your problem comes down to an absolute failure of your Constitution, Institutions and your political and electoral systems. Many changes needed but first you have to survive this shitshow that GOP been working on through MAGA & Project 2025 for decades. If you can’t see how they have done it you
Fill the streets sit down and stay for as long as it takes. India might have some ideas that will help.
Pretty safe to assume that if everyone who hates or dislikes trump votes he will not even get close to winning.
For sure something has to give. Maybe it will be the economy and mass unemployment.
Many speaking out so far have been white so don’t despair yet.
the economy and cause many problems at home and abroad. Interesting to see how it plays out. Could be easy if a few people grow a spine or very nasty. Let’s hope for the best.
I dread to think how this is going to end up. Unlike Hitler who had a great deal of support because the allies had dragged them to their knees and they had nothing to lose MAGA is a minority and many people have much to lose thanks to the previous administration. Let’s face it this mob will wreck
Everything he says & does sounds very authoritarian.
Thank you.
I suspect he only influences people of dubious mentality.
Trump didn’t appoint incompetents for nothing. Dictators don’t like anyone smarter than them on the roster so he doesn’t have much wriggle room. Just look at them all. There are backroom people much smarter and more dangerous than these pulling the strings.
Don’t need the files. The evidence from the victims should be more than enough.
Sounds like a possible outcome. What we really need is Trump on trial with all the girls he abused, giving evidence. Then bring Maxwell back under oath and see how it ends up. Don’t need the files.
Don’t get the W reference but I am Australian.
Correct.
The opposite. Woke as hell and proud of it. It’s in the dictionary.
At least a better one.
He is not your problem. Your Constitution & institutions along with your political & electoral systems are. How do you allow a SCOTUS to be appointed by possibly corrupt politicians & legalise gerrymandering & voter suppression. It doesn’t start to make sense.
All you really need to do is look at the way other countries do things. Australia being a good example of almost real democracy and having a political & electoral system that protects against extremism. The best of which is that you cannot form government without the support of 50 % of electorate.
Absolutely agree with you. All set up for your constitution & institutions to assist anyone who could set up the circumstances for a takeover. They’ve been working on it for decades.
You have to make government fear the public, not the other way round. Sadly your institutions don’t cater for such an outcome. Just the opposite in fact.
There is going to be no easy way out of this mess. Very interested to see how it turns out. Return to sanity or complete fkn mess with years of turmoil. I’m too old to care but good luck anyway. You brought it on yourselves.
Hope not but it could come to that.
Could there be conspiracy charges waiting with a change of government?
Somebody has copies. You can be sure of that.
They can be confirmed or denied by asking the victims. That is what should happen.
Very reasonable.
Did she mean Biden or Obama?
Why not?
America needs a party that is left of centre. Not two that are on the right. Some progressive policies are needed.
They want solid policies with commitment on health care & education.
And he doesn't even know him. Amazing.
Govern with empathy and compassion instead of hate. Thay's how you make America great again. Not the shit that MAGA admire so much.
And is that an almond croissant? The perfect combination.
A true statement.
Exactly.
I don’t care whether you are gay or not as long as you are a reasonably nice person. I hope I am but I’m not gay. But that’s just the way I am.
Does he not realise that putin despises him as a weak easily manipulated POS?
And a bad one at that. What a disgusting excuse for a human being.🤮
Exactly.
I hope you are joking.
Something that is so easy for a very determined group to achieve under a first past the post system. As you have found out to your very great cost.
The long term solution to your problems is to study the political & electoral systems of Australia. Almost unique, not perfect, but so much closers to rule of the people, by the people than any other method. It makes it almost impossible for any form of extreme politics to gain a foothold.
Never.
They might rush to border but highly unlikely they will do more. Lukashenko might not like the end result of that. Imagine the reaction of the people in Belarus if putin should fall & Lukashenko would lose Russian military backing.
There is only one way he could redeem himself and he’s not going to do that.
His aspiration will never be achieved. Twice impeached, numerous felonies, the worst and second worst president of all time. Incompetent and completely lacking in insight, empathy or compassion. A Nobel Prize could only be a joke.
just a commitment to health care and other things that decent countries provide. Taxes of 80 percent for people who have more money than they could ever need will be a good start.
That wasn’t why you lost the election. Do a proper survey and get the truth. My suspicion is that those that did not vote failed to do so because there was no progressive choice. Both parties are right of centre and you need one that is left & truly progressive. Don’t need much
If he got one the value would sink to zero. Like America if you don’t get your act together.
How many do you think he has been responsible for killing?
Do the same as Australia. Don’t permit the flying of Nazi flags or the wearing of their insignia. It’s not restriction of freedom but common sense. Don’t tolerate fascism or…oh no. You already have.
Up to you to elect a government that will reverse that trend. Not just reverse but get it back.
Admirable Alaska.
with why you are in the mess you are.Too many citizens with nowhere to find help.
No they are probably left of you Dems. You do realise that most dems are considered right of centre although it is great to see many coming up through the ranks are more progressive. And you will need them if you want to attract more voters. Otherwise much too similar to GOP. That has a lot to do
Good for the staff. I would not want to make money catering to such a lowlife.
You hopefully will get a chance to recover from this shitshow. Miss it and it will be permanent. It’s up to you but don’t expect the rest of us to feel sorry for you. Trump in fact could be the best thing that ever happened to you.
Have you forgotten that most of the guns are owned by MAGA nutters and white supremacists.
That has yet to be established. Hopefully not all your military are snivelling cowards like your republicans.
I hope you are wrong because that is going to be tested soon & if you are right you will be in a lot of pain. Your only hope is that you are wrong. It’s hard to believe that real men do not recognise the evil that is present. At least the majority.
If only you had a way of enforcing that. You do but it’s unlikely to happen.
Sadly your country is FKD up and needs fixing. Unfortunately some very nasty people have been manipulating your outdated constitution & institutions for decades to the point where you have to accept what they are doing to you or fight back. The world is watching in trepidation to see what unfolds.
You got that right.
You have to be a certain type of person to worship extreme RW ideologies. It takes a high degree of greed and nastiness & probably a touch of psychopathy. Certainly no room for empathy or compassion.
He is indeed but the end is not far off for him. Doesn’t look like a very healthy man.
You need the whole country to block all the roads.
Australia has declared for a seperate state, which I hope happens.
And it isn’t going to get better till you remove the problem.
A tactic used by Hitler and Putin. To name just two and look at their success. One flattened his own county the other has created an Oligarchy while both were responsible for mass murder and misery. How far will your nightmare take you?
without at least 50% support from the electorate. Not perfect but would only need a little common sense to rectify. Without a revolution I doubt you could use it but you could at least recognise how bad your system is. If something doesn’t work and you keep doing it? What do they say?
The root of your dysfunction is your political & electoral system. Fix them and most of your problems would evaporate. The Australian system which is almost unique protects from dictators and extremes of politics because it calls on all citizens to vote and does not permit a government to be formed
Time for your military to step up and confirm their oath making it clear they are not supporting an authoritarian take over led by a budding dictator. If they make that clear now it will avoid problems in the future & reassure the people.
America. Where truth & common sense go to die. What a mess.
And it will still be a good excuse to bring in the troops to reduce crime. Strange really when you realise crime is going to increase as trump’s policies cause more poverty & therefore more crime.
Why do you think they were able to do all these things?
Nothing is more certain. It took 250 years of hiding your heads in the sand but now it is with you.
Didn’t she say Israel? Not Jews. There is a massive difference.
Don’t normally waste my time watching has been conservatives getting top billing but will have a look at it. Sally should be interesting.
beyond belief for you.
And to think it is going to get worse as the wealthiest are going to get some tax cuts while others will be getting higher prices. Almost sounds like a dystopian paradise, if there is such a thing. You have to put up with shit that, while existing at a lower level in other countries, is rampant
Being Australian makes it very hard to get my head around all the shit that goes on there. Is there nothing that happens there that isn’t complicated and designed to mess with your brain?
Makes sense. They already ignore it when it suits or get their pet SCOTUS to misinterpret it.
Whether or not you have ever been a democracy is debatable surely. It’s never too late though. Rule of the people by the people. When was that?
Ai is riddled with mistakes.
They are the symptoms & outcomes of the failures of what has led you to this moment. They are not the cause which began decades ago when evil people realised your country was set up for exploitation. Your constitution & institutions are obsolete.
I fail to see how a mature Country which has had 250 years to sort itself out has failed to recognise the failings in it’s constitution and institutions and not amended them to avoid the shitshow that has befallen you.
Won’t be much choice soon.
Makes sense.
It would appear a lot more is going to be required if you are to avoid dictatorship.
Sounds like a deliberate attempt by government to destroy you. Maybe they are looking for bribes to leave you alone? Seems very Trumplike.
That does seem a distinct possibility. If not true a little while ago it is going to get worse for sure.
You really are slow learners. Simple rule. If they say they are RW they only useful to the very wealthy. The dems on the other hand are still a bit RW but are trying harder to help more of you. If you push them a bit and there are some good ones coming along they could even help more of you.
The hypocrisy is staggering but at least it is one thing that is consistent. All you need to do now is fix it.
resources of the country. That would be a start in addressing inequality and the stupidity of allowing a small % becoming obscenely wealthy. Ignoring the problem is not an option.
Capitalism needs a bloody good overhaul or we are all doomed to failure. A return to services being solely the responsibility of government and not an investment opportunity along with housing, health & education. And then make Capitalism pay for the privilege of exploiting both the workers and the
It appears they do unless they have the same electoral system as America which permits a minority to rule.
