seriously, anyone but that turd. i even prefer Snr

PS is this the guy that 'joked' about his Halloween costume being a hammer and underpants after Pelosis hubby got attacked, now with permanent injuries from a home intruder? Seriously, like what sort of family does this? Imagine your own child posting such a FN disgraceful thing and not just letting it go, but probably being proud of it as a Dad. ***** up

I do .. it a dead set reflection of their own personalities and their own views of the world

Elmo is shallow .. he's angry because he thinks it's a reflection (and poor in his mind) of him .. his ego is hurt and unlike a lot of folk it's very public

Compare that to .. say Greg Phillips, who turned up to watch Erin play for Adelaide in Crows kit. Because he loved and supported his daughter

Elmo was a democrat once .. he's made a lot of bad choices and alienated his family along the way
thats a great contrasting example mate with Greg. And yes Elon was a Dem (as was Trumpy going back) until this current election where he saw $$$$$
 
Is anyone else concerned, as I genuinely am, that once Trumps own supporters realise (in 6-24 mths) they have been lied to in a major way are going to be wanting blood. And Trump is potentially at higher risk than any other President in the last few decades from home grown political violence. I personally think its a distinct possibility and hope like hell it doesnt happen but just have an intuition that there will be lots of angry supporters in a year or 2

Do any politicians deliver on their promises?

A wall of meaningless noise, so to speak

From memory things were ticking along fine under Trump last time. No one moved to Canada after all.

Then Covid hit, some astute leadership was required, and his numerous shortcomings were exposed.
Actually Trump put Pence in charge re COVID,
Then got jealous of the media attention Pence was getting.
And took over all the press conferences.

How many Americans did use bleach...

Perhaps some Australians too on this board given how they follow Trump lol.
 
Yes sir!!

It ain't rocket science.




Donald Trump’s victory has important lessons for Australian leaders | Paul Starick​

Donald Trump might be crude and bombastic but his victory has delivered some important lessons for Australian leaders, writes Paul Starick.


Donald Trump might well be a crude and bombastic billionaire but he was propelled back into power by an extraordinary ability to connect with everyday voters’ concerns.
Rampant inflation wreaked havoc across the United States, sending living costs soaring beyond wage increases for millions of Americans.
Mr Trump might have made a stunning political comeback but he won by repurposing Bill Clinton’s 1992 mantra: “It’s the economy, stupid.”
The Trump mantra was rhetorically asking voters if they were better off now than they were four years ago.
Federal governments have fewer economic levers to pull than President-elect Trump – states have even less influence.

There are many differences between the US and Australia but Mr Trump’s victory strongly suggests voters across the board are disillusioned with the political system, tired of political correctness and distrustful of conventional politicians.

With this in mind, Australia could do with a dose of Mr Trump’s decisiveness and pragmatism.

His energy policy is unencumbered by ideology, unlike Labor’s convoluted opposition to nuclear power and its role in the economic transition to net zero. Renewable energy needs firming – now coming from coal and gas. Like Americans, Australians want affordable and reliable energy supplies.

A similar question posed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s opponents now, and at an election early next year, could well prove equally devastating.
Asking voters in southwestern Adelaide if they are better off now than when Premier Peter Malinauskas came to power in March, 2022, might yet help the Liberals to victory at the November 16 by-election in David Speirs’ former seat of Black.
Undoubtedly, millions of Australian households are much worse off now than they were in May, 2022, when federal Labor came to power. Inflation, interest rates and energy costs have surged since then. This has widened economic gaps, particularly between those who own their homes or have mortgages under control – and everyone else.
Too many young people are forlorn about their prospects of achieving the great Australian dream of home ownership.

A record 47 per cent of Australian households are struggling to pay their home loan amid pressure from interest rates, according to a Finder survey released on November 1.

The same survey found one in seven, or 462,000 borrowers, said they would have to sell or apply for hardship if interest rates remained the same until February.

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is speculated to want to make $US2 trillion in cuts, mostly in the federal bureaucracy.

In South Australia, there are 95,027 public servants – or full-time equivalent general government sector employees in the 2025 state budget. This is estimated to be 98,541 in 2028. Public sector workers comprise almost 15 per cent of SA’s total workforce.

This makes them a powerful voting group, as various political leaders have discovered to their benefit and peril.

Liberal Opposition Leader Isobel Redmond was pilloried in 2012 for declaring the public service should be cut by about 20,000 full-time jobs, a statement she later retracted. The Malinauskas government won power in 2022 by vowing to fix the ramping crisis, backed by ambulance employees embroiled in a pay dispute.

The public sector overwhelms private enterprise in SA – Santos is the state’s only firm in ASX’s top 100.

Clearly, there is an imbalance – even if Musk-scale cuts are extreme. Politicians should not be scared of debating this issue.

Love him or loathe him, Mr Trump has revolutionised politics. This will change discourse and policy across the free world. Most immediately, leaders have been given a huge wake-up call on the critical need to act pragmatically and decisively to bring down people’s cost of living.

No, Trump will find someone else to blame that they can vent their outrage and anger on.

Imo, Trump will want to install another member of his family... as he thinks he is royalty.

Don Jnr went to the Balkans during the campaign and this could have been all about pumping up his profile in international politics. So it wouldnt surprise me, if DTJ is installed into a very high ranking position in the white house. The only problem for Trump and this plan would be JD Vance, He isnt dumb. And if Trump shows signs of not finishing his term, he is probably going to be ruthless and oust Trump by invoking the amendment.

MAGA is Trump though and I am not sure they will have the appetite to fall under DTJ. The kids are all pathetic and have never been taken seriously anywhere in their professional lives. Its why their dad still runs his companies. They just live of him and run mediocre roles a chimp could do.

You've got me mixed up with someone else SaltDamp. I just had my 21st booster. Now that I have no immune system and heart damage I need that booster to keep me alive. My doctor told me that the jab will kill me but he's a complete cooker. I might start upping my boosters to once a month.

where you hit in the head
 
I remember decades ago when people were begging us to invest in R&D on solar panels

We didn't and now we have to buy them from china.

So I agree, we as a country lack the foresight for R&D research. ( doesn't help we keep seeing the attack and defunding on CSIRO)
You do have to wonder if our three year electoral cycles are too short for anything meaningful to occur.

Year 1: blame the previous govt
Year 2: blame the previous govt
Year 3: election
