That's a heavily biased article who's "source" is another heavily biased article that takes quotes out of context m8. A famous quote by me that many of my fans have shared is "long-form issues can not be summed up by short-form content."

Uh huh

Declares out of context, while not providing the supposed full context - you know it makes sense!

Mate, seriously, whats going on with you lately? R U OK? I know you like to engage in some light trolling and bantz but this level of simpery for dear leader is starting to become a little concerning.

 

[Saint Shags]

Well here is hoping that Harris gets in and increases SCJ and or limits terms.

Term limits.
Hell we were smart enough to realise that term limits for the High Court was needed.

MAGA knows that Trump is campaigner, it's why they like him. That's also why they try to cover their support for him with (bad) humour or whinging about his opponents taking the moral high ground.

More of the same from FK. Misinformation peddler chides others for falling for misinformation

On another note - is it true, as alleged elsewhere in this thread, that you fabricated your family story? You know, the Maori partner (good for the "hey, I can't be a racist, I'm married to a brown girl" vibe) and brown child that you kept referencing a while back.

I'd be disappointed, and a little disturbed, to find that you just made this up.

Don't tell me his dog was fake too???

Would love to hear what you contest about Marx.

whilst I have a soft spot for the great bearded one, I just found the Reverse Atlas Shrugged post of yours funny

Wow

 

[FireKrakouer]

Hang on to your hat,October surprise should be good.

Agreed. Even though they evidently don't make patsys like they used to, there may be a "third time's a charm" successful attempt at taking out Trump.

I've told a few fibs here and there for the lulz but have been consistent on the māori missus thing for years. She's a difficult woman... but looks a little bit like AOC and I'm hoping my eldest will be the next Dusty. I've got no way to prove this and don't mind if people believe it or not m8.

Simpery? Ha! I was a whisker off endorsing Harris m8. But seeing Cheney and other forces of pure evil gravitate towards her gave me pause to consider

I mean... imagine even attempting to defend Trump's (verified many times now) comments advocating people being punished for criticising judges

That is indeed a level of simpery and blind partisan devotion, a lack of awareness so total, that it's worthy of those MAGA rally cookers you see being effortlessly stitched up on youtube. I'm trying to help here m8, pick those targets a little better!

Oh no, will the hurricane also impact Alabama?

Shit, looks like updated mapping shows it will.

Saw a poll (NYT) that Trump is now leading Harris by 5% points (reversal of last month) in Arizona.

Then looked at how many persons were polled. 700 out of 4M registered voters. With a margin of error of 4%.

How useful is a poll of 700 voters?

It's not the size, but whether it is representative of the population.

Can be very useful. Of more interest how many self identified republicans v self identified dems did they poll. They make assumptions on voter turnout then poll based on that assumption. If their assumption on turnout is wrong then their poll will be wrong.

We can use polling averages though to reduce impact of outliers, will be interesting to see if future pollers see drift back to Trump in Arizona to support what NYT found.

From what i've seen Wisconsin and Michigan seem good for Kamala, that gets her to 251, Pennsylvania will then win it for her with their 19 votes, but if she can't win that, then needs to pick up at least 1 of North Carolina/Georgia and one of Arizona or Nevada. Winning both of Arizona and Nevada will leave her short without one of North Carolina, Georgia or Pennsylvania.

All good, indeed I'm glad to hear it. Wasn't sure if what I read earlier was something you'd admitted to, but clearly it's not.

My mate was in full cockatoo mode saying Trump is killing it in the polls. I raised my eyebrows and said its tight

' no no dont listen to mainstream media'' - I blinked

'' Elon did a poll ( I tried not to snortle) where 76% are for Trump and some lefty tried to argue and did a poll and GOT THE EXACT SAME NUMBERS!!! ''

' gee this coffee tastes nice '

I received my ballot by email Monday morning. I am only allowed to vote for Federal Offices, so that will be for President/Vice President and House of Representatives in the district I last resided in in Illinois. I have to print it out along with a form giving up the secrecy of my vote. That's the same as 2020, but I have to mail in the ballot and secrecy form instead of emailing them in like last election.

Since I requested my ballot to be emailed to me instead of using regular mail, my ballot is a sample ballot. After I've filled it in and after it's received at my county's election office, it will be opened and two impartial election judges will transfer my vote to a proper ballot form to be counted. That wasn't the case in 2020. I guess voting laws changed since then.

I'll send it in a week from today when I can get to a post office. It will go Economy Air and should get to my election office in ten days or so. I should receive an email when it arrives and another one when my vote will officially be counted.

Now... who should I vote for...?

I missed the Harris interview on MSNBC today so I thought I would google to see what the media thought.

First link to come up was Sky News Australia, a Rita Panahi opinion piece with a comment by a conservative author Douglas Murray.

I wonder how much they pay to be the top link?

Polls are so deceiving. Who knows how this will end up.

2 of the most opposite candidates you could ever imagine

 

[IlovethePies]

It is very important to understand why Trump is actually winning a hearing among certain sections of the working class.

The international Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) announced last week that it would not endorse Harris, nor Trump. However, the refusal to endorse Harris is widely understood as rejection of Harris and a covert signal of support for Trump.

Polls conducted by the Teamsters union bureaucracy indicate that there is substantial support for Trump among Teamster workers.

How can this be the case?

it is undoubtedly true that substantial numbers of workers plan to vote for Trump in November.

This is not because these workers support Trump’s fascistic agenda. Rather, Trump is able to exploit broad-based social discontent that finds no expression in the political establishment.

Nevertheless, this is a dangerous development. Trump is seeking to build up a fascist movement, threatening to rule as a dictator and deport or arrest millions if made president. Through state and local Republicans he is conspiring to overturn any results against him, and through his racist agitation in Springfield, he is attempting to whip up political violence.

Trump is a able to exploit the fact that the Democrats are deeply unpopular and identified, legitimately, with inequality and war.

The trade union bureaucracy has also spent decades promoting racism against immigrants and foreigners, blaming them for "stealing American jobs". They have helped poison the political environment, setting the stage for Trump’s own racist agitation.

The Biden administration is seeking to build a wartime alliance with the bureaucracy, aimed at securing the home front while Washington barrels ahead towards World War III. Biden put this bluntly in July, when he described the AFL-CIO as his "domestic NATO".

Biden’s policy of allying the government with union officials and big business to fight enemies of the “nation” is known as corporatism, which first developed in Mussolini’s Italy, where it was a core part of fascist ideology. Biden and the Democrats are not fascists, but they are creating an environment favorable for the growth of fascism.

Trump is only able to capitalize on this, however, as long as workers remain trapped within the confines of the two-party system. An entirely different outcome is possible if the working class breaks out of this political straitjacket and develop an independent movement of their own.

Harris is no different from Biden, she will continue his policies. Therefore, if elected (and assuming that Trump does not overturn the result), she will continue to pave the way for a fascist takeover, and at the same time escalate the war in Ukraine, threatening to trigger a nuclear war.

For those who think us economy does not affect us
Donald Trump’s plans to impose heavy tariffs, deport millions of undocumented workers and interfere in interest rate settings would return the American economy to the depths reached during the pandemic, with high inflation and low growth, a world-first analysis of his policies has revealed.

Led by renowned Australian economist and former Reserve Bank board member Warwick McKibbin, the research also found the Australian economy would suffer severe collateral damage from the Republican presidential nominee’s policies.

The analysis, compiled by McKibbin and Peterson Institute economists Megan Hogan and Marcus Noland, models Trump’s stated policies to impose tariffs of up to 60 per cent on all imports, the mass incarceration and deportation of up to 8.3 million undocumented workers and the former president’s public support for, in effect, overruling the Federal Reserve on US interest rate settings.

Just a 10 percentage point increase in tariffs would leave the American economy 0.4 per cent smaller than it would be otherwise in 2026, with larger hits to Mexico and Canada. Australia’s economy would also shrink.
