The Otherworldly Circus - The America Thread

It's interesting though. Using a colour as an analogy. You see green, but someone who is colour blind sees a different colour. Neither are wrong, they just have different views of the same thing. I think politics can be like that at times.

And adding to that is the tribal nature politics has become. Closer to home, Andrews was a love or hate premier here in Vic, Trump is much the same and that idea of a politician being cast like that is becoming increasingly more common.

I haven’t followed American politics much before but just find it alarming that he could become leader of the most powerful country in the world. Hard to understand how anyone can defend him really - even some of his staff and family have bailed

Even if you support a lot of Trump’s ideologies, I still don’t understand how you vote for him. He is a proven liar who will say absolutely anything that benefits him in the moment.

I am glad I am a Monarchist - you would never have caught me dead saying that pre 2016.

If Trump was our PM, the GG would be on to the King and see you later fat boy Trump.

As ive said before, I vote for policy, rather than the person. I'd imagine many are similar, but perhaps not.

Just interested, what policies did provide 2016-2020?

1. Tax cuts for billionaires
2. 52 miles of a wall between the US and Mexico.

He has no policies apart from number 1, which is sponsored by Musk, Bezo’s, etc.

Interesting viewing options tonight on FTA TV (yes, it still exists):

One of the ABC channels going with "Wag the dog", one of the Nine channels "London has fallen".

I recommend (nor will I be watching) neither, just flicking through on our smart TV...waiting for a DVD to fire up (yes they still exist too!)

I'm guessing neither movie was scheduled by chance, given next Tuesday (Wednesday our time). But who would actually be watching?
