Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

Shocked I tell ya

How ****ing stupid are these people?

They saw what happened in his first term. Why are they surprised? They were warned repeatedly.

I’m sorry but if you were warned then there are consequences for your actions.

People need to learn the hard way.

 

[kirky]

Oh dear

I think the appropriate response to anyone who voted for Trump is “you were warned but you knew better, I know you don’t want to hear this but there are consequences of your actions”.

Yes the way you talk to a child and a teenager to teach them to be morally and socially effective people

I liked the Police Union complaining yesterday about the release of the Jan 6 insurrectionists .. I mean he repeatedly told everyone while he was campaigning he was going to release them and give them pardons

Which part did the Police Union miss?

FMD .. the dopey campaigners endorsed him

It’s absolutely unbelievable these people pretending they didn’t know
Has everyone who voted him in been living in a cave for the last decade?

 

[PeterSalt]

The usual projection from Trump sycophants.

She's such a campaigner

I like reading some of her brothers posts online when he tells everyone what a lying, sell out campaigner she is too. He usually makes some very valid points

You do need to remember that Trump has the intelligence of a third grader so most of his MAGA supporters can relate to his messages.

The movie “Dumber and Dumber” comes to mind.

You would think the AU Govt would be looking at it with interest as seeing what they can avoid.

I think the main issues were not messaging on inflation and cost of living and allowing the now suddenly gone immigration issues to become bigger than they clearly are.

But Biden, whilst clearly still better than Trump should have stood down earlier and the Democrats would have got the message earlier that the US is not ready for a Black female president, regardless of her talents.

If you break it down, the Tories in the UK lost for similar reasons, although they had some other baggage.

They need to pay really close attention to what’s happening with young voters - especially male voters. What messages will resonate with this group? How do you authentically engage with them?

Also, while I agree with you that the immigration issue is being blown way out of proportion, I think the horse has bolted on this. Many people just will not hear common sense on this right now and don’t want to be educated on the nuance around why immigration is needed. Fighting it might be futile for this election cycle.

Controversial opinion but if they want to get ahead of the curve and win the election, Labor might need to bite the bullet and throw a bone to the rising anti-immigration sentiment. Ride the wave, don’t fight it, and announce a once off, big-ish reduction in immigration numbers for a year.

Grab the headlines/hashtags, take the wind out of the Coalition’s sails, win the election, then get back to our usual, sensible, long term immigration strategy in the hope that by the time the next election cycle comes around people aren’t quite so deranged about this.

Caveat that I don’t think this is sensible or the right thing to do by any means, this is purely thinking about what it might take to win the next election.

Yeah I prefer '**** around find out'

 

[OneGreatClub]

Well, when they tell you what they are and all that

 

[kirky]

That didn’t take long - if these losers commit more crimes and those crimes have nothing to do with Trump, Trump won’t be granting them another pardon, he will hang them out to dry. If it doesn’t help him, he won’t care.

Jan. 6 rioter whose case was tossed after Trump pardon arrested on pending weapons charges

A Florida man who prosecutors alleged attacked police with an explosive device on Jan. 6 was arrested on pending federal gun charges, according to court records.

Too little too late.

Because they are stills and not video of a salute. By all means, show us the videos of them doing the salute.

Surely, you ain’t that dumb? Sorry, already knew the answer to that.

And Musk projecting yet again because he doesn’t use propaganda

Bicks you will be happy to know that European countries like Australia are significantly increasing their renewables to record levels....

Graph shows increase in wind, solar & gas. Decrease in coal & nuclear.

‘Rising star’: Europe made more electricity from solar than coal in 2024

Report reveals solar power generated 11% of Europe’s electricity, surpassing coal at 10%

If you want to see crying, look at your cult leader. Fragile baby having a tantrum because a bishop asked him to show some compassion

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

One thing I agree with Trump is that this ridiculous war must be ended... so even though he missed his ridiculous 1 day deadline, he succeeds very soon ending it. Not only should the USA be upping sanctions, all countries should be... along with using Russian money for the Ukraine rebuild.

Ukraine war briefing: Depends what Trump means by a ‘deal’, says Russia

US president threatens Putin with sanctions and tariffs; Bill Browder calls for all of Russia’s frozen $300bn to be spent arming Ukraine. What we know on day 1,065

www.theguardian.com

So far Australia has contributed $1.5B. To the world it costs around $750M per day. What a waste of money & worse human life & homeland. Imaging how this money could be used better to improve standard of living for everyone...

Still can't believe in 2025 we have posters defending the Nazi Salute

Don't get me wrong, I'm not surprised, but far out, the mask is definitely off isn't it.

I can't believe we have clowns interpreting an innocent gesture as a nazi salute. Pathetic losers.
