  1. No. It's about power crazed US leadership. Also underpinning the trend for tourists to reschedule their holidays to lessen risk of authoritarian intrusion on private citizens. Currently the USA is on a downward spiral of respect and trust under trump's so called leadership.
  2. Australian political leaders do care about Trump's influence on world trade due to Australia's trade relationships with both US & PRC. Currently trump's tariff war with PRC is having a negative impact on the Australian dollar, trade and share market.
  3. Quite the opposite it's you who should seek counselling with your cult like infatuation of Trump. I only draw members attention to Trump & Cos reported egregious actions. Concentring nationality I assume you haven't bothered to review forum rules or deliberately ignorie them - which is it?
  4. Since you asked...Trump family are thoroughly corrupt. trump is unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA.
  5. The most recent absurdity, following Jeff Bezos giving Melania Trump $40 million for rights to Amazon to produce a fawning “documentary” about her (so much for the anti-trust and labor law enforcements against Amazon), is Trump’s suggestion this week that Warner Brothers/Discovery could escape his FCC’s ire if they gave Don Jr. his very own hunting show. Behind the fatal Trump flaw MAGA can't even defend | Opinion
  6. I did not write the OP. Where does the article claim Vance is on of the richest men in USA?
  7. Deflection 'cause OP is in reference to trump family, not Biden's
  8. Interesting OP... It was bound to happen. Encouraged by the ease with which many big American institutions have caved in to their demands, the Trump regime — that is, the small cadre of bottom-feeding fanatics around Trump (Vance, Musk, Vought, Miller, and RFK Jr.) along with the child king himself — have overreached. Trump has finally met his match as he fights 3 unwinnable wars | Opinion
  9. No doubt other doggy / corrupt activities for the family will continue; where will be the demands for investigations from the GOP??? Total silence probably. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were awarded 750,000 shares in Dominari Holdings, according to a new filing–currently worth $3 million–for joining the company’s board of advisers, an entity with little evidence of functioning before their appointments. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2025/04/17/donald-trump-eric-dominari-holdings-advisory-board-3-million-stock/
  10. Google is your friend, issue covered by a number of credible media outlets e.gt. A new U.S. intelligence assessment found no coordination between Tren de Aragua and the Venezuelan government, contradicting statements that Trump administration officials have made to justify their invocation of the Alien Enemies Act and deporting Venezuelan migrants, according to U.S. officials. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/us-intelligence-contradicts-trump-claims-linking-gang-venezuelan-120935126
  11. The determination is the most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting the president’s rationale for deporting suspected gang members without due process. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/04/17/us-intelligence-tren-de-aragua-deportations-trump/?utm_source=alert&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere&location=alert
  12. America's trend to authoritarianism is gradually accelerating... Trump, like many authoritarians, seeks to trample all institutions that oppose him by withholding federal funding and using executive orders to target law firms hired to represent his perceived enemies. Nine law firms have already surrendered and agreed to provide nearly $1 billion in pro bono work for the administration’s pet causes, and Columbia University acquiesced to the administration's demands before federal cuts could hurt. 'Echoes what I’ve seen': Dictatorship expert says Trump threatens 'the American project' White House removes wire services from press pool The White House decided that rather than restore full access to the Associated Press after a federal judge sided with the news organization, it would just eliminate the position for wire services in the rotating press pool altogether.

  13. Approx 40 years away from London, been back to London twice in that period. Have UK, NZ and Australian citizenship. Lived in Switzerland, Holland, Spain, NZ, Australia & Thailand. Regret mot managing being able to live for a year or two in Israel and USA.
  14. Jews lost "ownership" of the Promised Land long before 1500 years ago. BTW you may like to look up how they physically gained the 'Promised Land" it's a matter that is keep very quiet, but par for course in those times. Europe has demonstrated hatred to Jews for centuries, some contend a damn site more so than the Islamic world. Lookup why Bentwich was one on the main instigators for a Jewish homeland (he basically closed his eyes to the existing Arab population)- do some more research.
  15. Stupid idea in the first place to create the State of Israel in the middle of a hostile population / area - what could possible go wrong - lol
  16. The war can end tomorrow if Israel ceases expanding settler population in West Bank and cease civilian killings in West Bank and Gaza When will Netanyahu seeking revenge and blood lust cease? It's a question many Israelis are asking, but he's deaf to their demands.
  17. Netanyahu has ample demonstrated his will to direct his armed forces to kill and to commit crimes against humanity such as blocking all aid into Gaza for the past five weeks or so. Do Yes i do believe him when he declares his wishes to kill all Hamas people in Gaza which would incorporate killing and injuring the innocent - absolutely no doubt whatsoever in my mind along with the opposition in Israel.
  18. Ok. I wouldn't trust Netanyahu one inch. Sadly with him in power and Hamas IMO I do not see peace any time soon; hopefully I'm wrong, but there doesn't appear to any solution to the continuing expansion of Israeli settlers in the West Bank contrary to UN resolution, nor Gaza. IMO Israelis have lost all creditability with their ongoing daily killings in Gaza and West Bank.
  19. <snipped for brevity> Try reading from the "horses mouth" Benjamin Netanyahu says his country will not rest until all Israeli hostages are free and Hamas is destroyed. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-19/benjamin-netanyahu-vows-to-destroy-hamas/105069174
  20. The article I referenced originates from a well respected and credible media outlet. The article provides detail of the experience of the deported party. You may well disregard content from the Guardian as you dismiss nearly all content from the "left" without reason., It is up to you to prove it is misinformation in summary - put up or shut up.
  21. Tariffs are an excellent pathway for corporate / government corruption. Let's wait and see what leaks in the coming four years
  22. The Israeli government have publicly stated they will continue with the elimination of Hamas even after all hostages have been released; ain't much of an offer is it? With the excessive killing every day I seriously doubt Israel will eliminate motivation for acts of terrorism going into the future. In the meantime Israel is still killing civilians even though they claim they have excellent intelligence e.g. today's killing of six brothers who had been providing humanitarian aid in Gaza. Israel has now completed occupation of two buffer zones in Gaza, I can't see peace any time soon when one takes into account 700,000 settlers in The West Bank. How the poisonous relations between Palestinians and Israelis will be resolved I do not know.
