Unfuckingbelievable . We have seen how the CEOs of the biggest corporations praise the Don in order to get what they want . Journalists asking questions he doesn’t like get sin binned . Not only that but threats that Australians will pay a price for it .
Yep, but would argue it is very believable.
The USA unless there is some major push back soon is down the path of a fascist state.
Only way out it seems is for blue states to start playing hardball, start withholding federal taxes, leave the union, whatever it takes.
You cannot win by playing by the polite political rules and norms using traditional institutions when you are dealing with this kind of regime, as history clearly demonstrates.
Australian government take note!
Thanx crew : Anyone else got a feed on the Aussie ABC reporter John Lyons (vs) Trump in the Octogon
https://7news.com.au/news/donald-trump-blasts-australian-journalist-in-h...
ABC John : "You're Hurting Us Mr Prez!"
Trump : “In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now, and they want to get along with me,” Trump said.
“You know, your leader is coming over to see me very soon.
“I’m going to tell him about you. You set a very bad tone.”
When the journalist attempted to ask the president another question, Trump cut him off, telling him “quiet”.

Good. Government funded ABC needs to be put in their place. This isn't Australia buddy, you're with the big boys now.

Eh?
John is a respected journalist, asking a valid question.

Reckon you should move to the USA mate.
Australia doesn't seem right for you.
@burleigh , care to tell us all how Trump is making America great again ?

Mate, i watched the live senate hearing last night with Patel. No news filters, just as it unfolded. It was one of the most disturbing and disheartening things i've ever seen, and i'm convinced now, that America is truly fucked. To the point i wrote to a friend over there and said, if you need to get out, there's safe haven here as long as neccessary. It's going to get that bad, it already is that bad. The deflection from Patel and the way he was allowed to weasel out of answering any questions with truth and clarity, and continually blamed the other when put under the pump,...it was wild.

"this isn't Australia buddy, free speech, public interest and freedom of the press isn't tolerated here"..

This is hall of fame ridiculous Burlz.

Yeah SR,
I cannot see how they will get out of this situation without major bloodshed/ internal conflict. I hope i am wrong.
The blood lust unleashed and tolerated in Gaza is going to make its way to the USA.
Pure hate it seems on both sides.
China meanwhile sit by and watch the decline.
Again, Australian govt take note.
Burls has got a stiffy "The big boys" ..... fuckenhell
The irony of Burlz comment is it took an Australian journalist to ask a question the US journalists are too terrified to ask out of fear of retribution.
burleigh wrote:Good. Government funded ABC needs to be put in their place. This isn't Australia buddy, you're with the big boys now.
In the land of the First Amendment, apparently.
Yep, ABC journalists are all a very trustworthy bunch of people. No agenda at all. Geez you boys get wound up easily.
Did anyone ready the txt transcript between kirks killer and his transgender lover?
Freedom of speech = getting threatened by the pres apparently.
Why couldn’t Trump after he said his children were handling the businesses just leave it at that and remain calm ? He became defensive, angry and threatening. His wealth has grown by over 3 billion since taking office. Looking forward to the 4 corners follow up story.

What ya reckon he might be corrupt? Also maybe also like under-age girls?
Never I tell ya. :/
@burleigh , you said in an earlier post that CK was very good at debating and that professor’s never turned up to debate , not sure if you were implying because they weren’t smart enough. This young student completely schooled him on how to debate and his tactics are explained on how he try’s to manipulate his followers like yourself with blatant lies and false statements, I don’t expect you to watch it as you are deaf & blind to the truth . Just my opinion of course .
?si=WtHQMHtbz47TJJD7 Does someone being gay threaten you so much burls?
Add that to your history of racisism and xenophobia and you are well on the way to qualifying for US citizenship!
"I'm going to tell him about you"
It's pretty fucking scary to think about what is going on inside that head of his considering his position.

Trump has grifted his way from less than AUD $1 billion (with a billion in legal actions against him, so his fortune = $0) to over AUD $12 billion since Biden's presidency. All of it liquid, all of it growing. His stirring/scattering/signaling stoking his extended international cabal's fortunes..
how's the bizarre phenomenon of World Liberty Financial crypto.. (not that I understand any of it or follow it, had to look the name up, completely forgettable name..) - it's acting like War Bonds and a pyramid scheme combined, people investing in Trump's War, believing the dividend will be a brighter future with them on top. (This might be the greatest grift of all time in a couple of years.. and just like the end of any great heist film, the team of criminals will disappear in an explosion of smoke leaving nothing but carnage in their wake).
Let’s not forget Trump the rapist/sexual abuser is a great man to some.
“You know, your leader is coming over to see me very soon.
“I’m going to tell him about you. You set a very bad tone.”
When the journalist attempted to ask the president another question, Trump cut him off, telling him “quiet”.
Next question to Trump should have been "Can you name the Prime Minister of Australia?"
I bet a $200 million dollar ball room he wouldn't have a clue.

Not at all. And what are you on about re: racisism and xenophobia?

Trump wasn't even sure of what Albo's office is called.. 'leader'.. haha.
He'll probably make a call and dob John Lyons in to King Charles..
No amount of evidence or reason will ever persuade an idiot, or a fanatic. Burleigh is either, or both. He was utterly convinced (and still is) that Trump is going to make Amercia great again (and he still may, but only if you value (or are willing to totally ignore) things like racism, bigotry, lying, corruption, enriching the rich, double standards, inciting insurrection, unconsitutional use of power, etc). He was convinced that Trump was the only guy who would stop the wars, in fact in January he asked where all the Swellnet doubters were now that Trump had stopped 1 and had 1 to go. That one hasn't aged too well. And, from memory, he told us that the left were shaking in their boots about the Epstien files and how fun it would be when Trump released them. Empty vessels make the most noise.

He is probably getting confused with another country, a country where once there was an aspiring artist who Trump may look up to admiringly.

got a boy and a girl tree, @VJ..? or good bee population and cherries in the area?
off topic
We have one tree, there's a tree at the end of the block and bees are healthy around here. We're going to plant a couple more, the idea for the garden was a fruiting garden. 'Scruffy', the local Mr Currawong, likes to fly off with a few cherries held by their stalks, so we have to share. I usually give him a limb. Honeyeaters (Red Wattle birds) are the worst, will pick the blueberry bushes clean before they even ripen!
AndyM wrote:basesix wrote:Is it a political assassination, @AndyM? was john lennon's?
dude was an influencer.. (albeit a very political one, but not voted in to office,
or having to answer to anyone) shot by a crackpot who's motives aren't known.I'd be a little mindful of the comparisons chosen at this point -
and the divisive rhetoric.. usa is such a sick swampy minefield
of politics defining every moment and event and tragedy.can mental illness, cult of personality, generational poverty, hate speech, detachment from reality, social media silos, an impoverished health care system, get a look in? let alone responsible gun ownership.
.. seems super convenient for those wanting to control from the top if the prols and plebs want to make everything us-and-them political, neh?
I think for sure it's a political assassination.
Kirk was overtly political and totally partisan.
Like Malcolm X, MLK and Ghandi, you don't have to be voted into office to be assassinated for political reasons.As for "can mental illness, cult of personality, generational poverty, hate speech, detachment from reality, social media silos, an impoverished health care system, get a look in", some of those were what I was talking about when I said I'd care if Jacinta Price was assassinated.
Been thinking about this as well Andy M, for sure this one is a political assassination. I've got the feeling it's on the scale of the people above too, hard to confirm as it's happening live and we don't have 50 years of history to understand the significance of what's going on right now.

No, my own words Burls, except part of my first sentence has been attributed to Mark Twain, but apparently falsely. I'm not perfect, and am often wrong. But I believe I can differentiate between opinion and fact, and I also try to bring nuance, and understanding of different points of view into my opinions, so I guess that leaves a greater margin for error than a fanatic's approach which is all-in.

Bruv, this is actually you:
sorry everyone else. Gonna stop spamming the boards with sniping for now. Oops. Is it too soon to say sniping?
Trump should change his name to Neville .
Nobody gets a warmer reception.
Cant imagine a "MAGA nutjob" as many of you liked to call the killer here would be in a relationship with a transgender person.

Ahh, yep. Quite a set of morals you're working with there.
Definitely won’t be the last nutjob to murder another nutjob in the divided states of america .

No its not, its a 'baited' question for which he rightly got sat down and told to shut up. What do you expect Trump to say? He wouldn't have a clue about how much he's worth from day to day, he's a billionaire who's fortune depends on the stock market, would you prefer him to say "well I was worth 5% more yesterday but lost those gains today due to stock market going down this morning". He is a snarky, snide ABC labor hack looking for his gotcha moment in the sun.
Hi Peter Reynolds , would you like to have a crack at how Trump is making America great again ?
