I agree, however drag them out here and get the club to cancel their memberships….oh yeah, they are not members, sorry.
Mate, I don’t think you are well. I’ll leave it at that.

I wonder what my reaction to watching Trump having his brains head blown out off live on CNN would have been if the shooter had been successful.
I watch weekly on the news dead children and the like being carried off in the arms of grieving blood soaked relatives away from the source of the blast or shots. And as I do, I take another delicious mouthful of curried chicken or whatever I'm having for dinner that night, pat the dog, sip a nice chardonnay (it's fine with chicken!).
Perhaps in Trump's case I might have microwaved some popcorn. Why should I have cared? The dead young children on the news didn't have the opportunity to choose to become decent people. Trump did and chose not to.
I hope the Republicans get their arses handed to them. That they should so willingly and shamelessly nail their colours to a repugnant and devisive populist to guarantee 30% of the vote regardless of what vile things he may say or do or has said or has done .... they deserve to be punished.
You don't always get what you deserve but there's hope.

Political violence is a terrible thing and should be condemned... If it happens in the west.
Collective punishment. genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Palestine. Not so much apparently.
A Trump victory would leave Australia handcuffed to the whims of a narcissist
America is not well, and it will take a long time before it gets better, if it ever does. If this is not the time to take a hard look at how we approach and deal with the US, when will that time come?
Good article. It is not just culture wars. There are clear dangers to Australia relying on a country with a President and VP who are isolationists.

Most people in this debate don’t necessarily want this ‘idiot’ to be president. But how bad must the Democratic Party be that they are willing to vote for an ‘idiot’ because there is no one representing the old fashioned, conservative leaning working classes?
JD Vance is one of them, he is young and still working out his ideals, but at least he has come from these people, a much truer representative.

FMD , just seek some help.
Trump is considering dumping Vance, Fresh - watch this space. I wonder why?
He is just an act - full of sh*t.

No substance. Just culture war b*llshit about a soft drink at his inaugural speech as VP. Does that kind of stuff blow your hair back?

He’s human and having a laugh at the the modern nonsense of racialising everything. He understands their narrative. JD is married to a brown Indian Hindu woman, he is not racist, he just laughs at the crew that see racism in everything.
Waste of a VP pick for Trump. Trump already had all the crazies. He gets nothing more from Vance. Just the same crazies. Very few would have read Vance’s book nor care for his life story.
Now Harris is the Dems pick, and the contest is back on, Trump would have been well advised to attempt to increase his base as an invigorated Democratic voting base is 7-10 million more (obviously this is not often reflected with the electoral college). Trump would have been better off picking Tim Scott.
From FoxNews - Vance has negative favourability of -6. Record breaking territory:
CNN data guru says JD Vance 'making history' as first VP pick with negative favorability following convention | Fox News
Harry Enten said Vance is 'underwater' and may not give much of a boost to Trump as he attempts to secure Ohio

I liked Shapiro. 19 electoral votes for Penn as well. Presidential material. He will tear Vance apart on stage.
Mark Kelly is terrific, a fighter. But Arizona has just the 9 electoral votes.
For those who questioned whether Kelly’s marriage/relationship history may have played a part, well…..Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, a rapist and p*rn star f**ker when his wife was pregnant. Therefore I don’t think it would be something the Republican’s would have touched.
Where has this been confirmed?

Harris is nominally pro-ceasefire in Gaza, Shapiro is pro-Israeli occupation. Personally I think Kelly is the better choice, but hard to argue 19 electoral votes in Penn against thousands of dead or displaced Palestinians, I guess...

Massively wrong choice if true. The Democrats were facing a divide amongst young voters for their silence on Israel's actions in Gaza.
With indications many were considering voting independent or not voting at all in protest. So to settle for a pro Israel war senator, in what will likely be a super tight election. No the smartest choice to win back some voters.
