Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[OneGreatClub]

So if Trump and Elon’s antics cause a massive or even a depression, Australia will not be immune.
We had 32% unemployment and food shortages last time during the Great Depression in early last century.
I wonder if Elon etc think crypto will somehow protect them?
I wonder if MAGA will be laughing out the other side of their face then?

Did you live in Australia during covid? We went full Dictatorship, locking people up in camps who didnt even have covid. We rivalled China for who could lose the plot the most. It was inhumane, embarassing and illegal and an indicator of where the globalist tyrants (under both sides of politics) will take us.

Geez talk about rewriting history. You make it sound like Auschwitz.
Enjoy your life if H5N1 takes off,
if you can’t bear any inconvenience to protect others in society.
The ignorance makes me laugh. I bet you are a Trumper.
What do you think about what Trump plans to do with his camps?

The majority of bullying would occur at school. Plus from my limited knowledge of why someone would take their own life it would be many things that led to that decision. Singling it out to one reason of social media is incorrect is not going to change the numbers taking their life in the slightest. I think you will find that if schools actually taught kids some life skills instead of DEI, trans shows for kids and the myriad of woke rubbish they taught in the education system they would be better able to deal and cope with bullying. The govt should also stay out of the relationship between parent and child. It's up to parents to monitor what their kids are doing online.

Lets be honest here the govt is using this bill to introduce their digital identity and central bank digital currency. We all know we are heading down the CCP path where if you think something which the govt deems to be not in their best interests they could easily switch off their digital currency or limit how a person can use it. The left is very quick to make knee jerk reactions which decrease our freedoms while not adequately dealing with the problem. All the left cares about is power and that's why they are being voted out just about everywhere.

You need to get out of your bubble.

If you think we are going to be anywhere near the restriction levels of a communist state like China, Russia or North Korea... I really can't help you.

They won't even restrict 1% of potential information out there & i very much doubt it will be missed.

Any decent free speech will still be allowed.

If the majority of people don't like legislation we can vote them out the next election. If you don't like it Russia, you have no say & unfortunately you may be killed of you complain.

Democracy v Communism.

I think we all knew this was coming, too many bad actors constantly misusing the the privilege we had to spread BS.

I thought this was funny.

The Onion buys conspiracy website Infowars after $1.5b ruling against founder Alex Jones

Alex Jones owes $1.5 billion after defaming the families of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, claiming it was a hoax staged by crisis actors.

www.google.com

Places like infowars just freely spreads complete BS, now sure educated people like us realise it's not real, you'll notice many of our poster are completely unable to determine fact from fiction anymore.

I not sure if you saw a video I posted showing the Twitter handle End Wokeness is the same kind of stuff, people tricking uneducated and unintelligent people into believing things that aren't real, but they know their audience won't look into it.

I will give Alex Jones credit, he at least was brave enough to use his name when spreading this kind of crap. Unlike many X users and bigfooty posters.

Hopefully though more politicians like David Pocock are writing these kinds of things and not Peter Dutton or Albo

As much as Trump being reelected fills me with existential dread, I kind of want to see how this clown show is going to unfold.

It is going to be a hoot. Get your popcorn ready.

Here we go with a few possible predictions -

• Matt Gaetz won’t be Attorney General (way to go alleged sex trafficer and resigned so the Ethics Committee report couldn’t be released today as he was no longer a member of Congress).
• R Kennedy won’t be Head of Department of Health
• House in 2026 will flip back to Democrats so Trump needs to make the most of the next 2 years (rarely does seats not flip to the side who doesn’t have the presidency in the midterms)
• Rudd won’t resign and whilst he said Trump was a village idiot (which Trump is), how does that compare JD Vance comparing Trump to Hitler?

As I said this is going to be a hoot.

Trump Picks RFK Jr. to Be Head of Health and Human Services Dept.

Whether the Senate would confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic who has unorthodox views about medicine, is an open question.

www.nytimes.com

Hmmm. Free speech is obviously an important value but lets also be clear that misinformation has tangible and serious consequences.

https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/note-robert-f-kennedy-jr

Since 2015, he led a nonprofit called Children's Health Defense that engaged in relentless anti-vaccine propaganda. As recently as 2019, CHD (and Kennedy himself) were both involved in stocking anti-vaccine fears in Samoa, which directly led to a measles outbreak that killed dozens of children.

Worldwide the measles has seen a spike due to lower vaccine rates in 2023.

Over 107,500 died from measles in 2023 and were mostly children under 5 died from this totally preventable disease.

But hey, the anti-vaxxers get their thrills from spreading misinformation.

Still nearly 15,000 to count….however, I did concede and offer my congratulations to Ms. Zucco this morning.

Definitely remain on track to exceed 20k votes.

Congrats on the fight.

Grifters, the lot of them:

The reason we know about RFK Jr’s brain worm is that he mentioned it during a divorce deposition, to argue that he was cognitively impaired and therefore had limited earning potential.
Now he’s up for a cabinet post

R.F.K. Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain

The presidential candidate has faced previously undisclosed health issues, including a parasite that he said ate part of his brain.

Who on here was trying to claim RFK was a democrat?

 

[OneGreatClub]

It would be hilarious watching what choices Trump is making if it weren’t for the damage to children’s lives, education, future prospects, the future of the Ukrainian people, the possibility of a global economic collapse. The Foxes are in the hen house
And incompetents are running the show. Buckle up.

We can thank Reagan for that

More like Bush senior & Cheney pulling strings behind the scenes.

No .. maybe .. but Reagan has always been credited with changing the media laws that ushered in the era of Murdoch (Fox - it's news - well no it's entertainment - it's kinda news, but it might not be true) and shortly after Rush Limbaugh

You honestly think Reagan was making the key decisions.

Towards the end I think Nancy's horoscope reader was making the decisions

Ronald Reagan had alzheimers in his second term according to his son.

 

[PeterSalt]

On another note .. Bluesky has rocketed up to number 1 on the app stores as the most popular social media download

Twitter has taken a dive

The day I finally signed up Bluesky was gaining around 150K new users a day - only a 4-5 days ago

Bluesky is now pulling in a lowly 1 million users a day now

The twitter exodus is well and truly underway

lol .. wonder if don jnr will admit this about orange julius later .. nah, he's a useless flog

Has anyone done a head count on how many pedo's and sex offenders have been added to trumps cabinet

Kind of ironic considering these clowns spent the last 10-12 years pointing the finger, and yet here we are

They aren't worried as their cunning plan is to make one of them Attorney General!

lol .. more insanity from the face eating leopard party

I'm laughing and sad at the same time seeing the appointment of Robert Kennedy Jnr

He probably is dead set going to "eat the dogs and eat the cats"

Looks polio and a raft of other diseases will be making a comeback

 

[PeterSalt]

Should probably throw Obama, Biden and Jake Sullivan in this bucket as well

Ben Wallace understood

Surely the MAGAs on here are outraged by the choices.
Or are they showing their usual hypocrisy ?
