OTOH, watching his face when the some in the audience hold up banners with "You're fired!" and "LOOOOSER!" would be priceless! and we can be sure the media will be counting heads and comparing attendance totals to the last two inaugurations, for historical reasons of course. bronze is good, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US election affects every Australian, it's the difference between an erratic and unreliable President whose word is completely untrustworthy, and a new President who supports an alliance that is the bedrock of our defence. Perhaps you are too young to be familiar with the term drongo. Where did I say that the US election results don't affect Australia. I made it clear that now that the Democrats are in power, they will go soft on China and the effects are already being felt as the propaganda arm of the CCP has escalated it's threats to Australia. "You will pay" is their rhetoric. Saying that I don't cry or get emotional if Trump loses doesn't mean I believe the results doesn't affect Australians. I'm familiar with the term "drongo". You're trying me to flame me and bypass forum rules. "Drongo" means "idiot". I'd like to come back with a suitable insult, but let's leave it at that lest we start a slanging match and we both end up on a vacation. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to the poster who goes by that name. Therr is no evidence at all that dems will go soft on china. There is lots of evidence trumps trade war that was easy to win, simply wasnt easy to win.

A hypocrite to the very end! So delusional! I can’t wait for the 20th of January when he’ll be finally out of office! Like you, I look forward to it immensely! "The Final Meltdown"! Who knows what Mr Trump will do, but we can be sure that it will be richly comic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may now have an ally to trust. The evidence is clear - The Obama administration were cosy with China and they ignored military expansion in the South China Sea, even after the International court ruling. That's a problem for Australia, apart from them now wanting to punish Australia for wanting to investigate the Covid19 outbreak in China. Apart from that, there's volumes of video evidence of Biden's love of China. Edited November 8, 2020 by JensenZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is a genuine post, not trying to create an upset, but would somebody kindly tell me what type of far left progressive calls are being made? Or indeed what they mean. Any policy or proposal which is capable of having the word social (or more accurately its root) applied to it, ie: socialised medicine, socialised education, social consequences, social policies etc. "Social"> socialist > commies > "dang it! Where's my gun". It is as simple as that. It is so prevalent that the political spectrum in the USA bears no relationship to any which applies elsewhere in the Western World.

It's time for America to unite. And to heal," Biden said on Twitter. That wasn't their mantra after Trump won in 2016. That sentiment is from an other different USA. The Democrats changed the rules after Trump won in 2016. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's my gun". It is as simple as that. funny you should bring that up... In the early 1990s, Trump converted Mar-a-Lago from a private residence into a social club, signing a detailed “use agreement” for the property and conveying ownership to a corporate entity he controlled named Mar-a-Lago Club Inc. https://news.yahoo.com/mar-lago-taxed-private-club-233900115.html it also turns out he's voting in florida based on his claiming a communist club to be his primary residence. that's out and out vote fraud. that's a felony, so......should we.........lock 'im up? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first contingent of US Marines arrived in Darwin in 2012 under the Obama administration. But don't let that get in the way of your narrative the Democrats are soft on China. Actually, I'm looking forward to when the Mueller Report is released in unredacted form, without Barr running interference. It may help shed more light on why Trump was sucking up to Putin in Helsinki so assiduously. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No love lost between those two ethnic groups for decades. By all reports, she is highly competent and scary intelligent. Of course, Trump just calls her a nasty woman, his usual shtick for any woman smarter than him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After supporting for 4 years the most incompetent person ever to hold higher office since Nero you really don't have the right to ask that question. "Would she stand up to China if they began expanding their Country?" Why wouldn't she? Because she's a frail little lady? Let me tell you something; she's got more b@lls than the entire Trump household and she doesn't come with the stigma of being a draft dodger. Besides, she would have the entire US armed forces behind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
