President Kamala Harris
She is doing a great job. And she made a great pick in Walz. So far, Vance has failed every test, and Walz has shined. Their problem is authenticity, one of the major absurdist planks of Trump’s campaign, in which the scion of a New York real estate empire accuses his rivals of being “east-coast elites”. Walz, unlike almost every other high-profile Democrat going back decades – including Hillary Clinton’s affable and somewhat Walz-like 2016 running mate, Tim Kaine – is not a lawyer. He did not go to Harvard or Yale, a fact he is proving happy to weaponise. If Walz has the energy of a dad reminding his grown-up kids to stay hydrated, he is also, on the evidence of the first day of campaigning, still very much the high school coach running the cafeteria at lunchtime, using all the modes – sarcasm, booming aggression, sudden, sharp mockery – that traditionally keep feral adolescents in order. Walz said to the crowd in Philadelphia: “Like all regular people in America’s heartland, JD Vance studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and wrote a bestseller trashing that community … COME ON!” He was named the ranking member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs in 2017. He focused on issues such as veterans’ mental health, suicide and pain management. He also called for funding to research medical cannabis treatment for veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain. Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard before retiring from a field artillery battalion. Have you ever taught High School? It's very hard work, so is coaching a team to a state championship, and 24 years in the National Guard is not easy work either, and 12 years in congress is not a slouch. I realize that conservatives are desperate to find something, with some traction, that they can use to criticize this man, but that's going to be a very difficult job. He's an impressive man, he's a great orator, he's energizing the crowds and right now Harris and Walz are doing something that Trump and Vance just simply cannot seem to be able to do. Get people excited about progress. Both Trump and Vance now appear to be very dull and humorless compared to Harris and Walz. I think the Republicans are simply floundering at this point, and Trump's entire campaign is lost. They're using the silliest little things to attempt to discredit Harris and Walz. Yes Walz did have a drunk driving incident, fortunately nobody was killed, he fessed up to it, he stopped drinking, which is a lot more than you can say for the vast majority of drunk drivers, and he's a really good man. He's such a good man the Republicans don't know what to do with him, they've completely lost any sense of messaging, the campaign is floundering like never before, they're heading toward a massive and humiliating defeat, they seem to know it, and desperation has set in. Vance by comparison seems very phony, very insincere, and does not seem to even have the ability to relate to common people. If you doubt that, check out the donut shop scene on YouTube that is one of the most awkward exchanges I've ever seen. -

Gun permit, licens
What do they have to defend themselves? There are guns in every country, legal or not, and in the ones where you can't own them, others still have them illegally. -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
"Trump has always made clear he will hand the decision on abortion to the states, he can't be bothered with it". A total abdication of responsibility. Having loaded the SCOTUS, then pushed for and claimed victory for overturning Roe v Wade..... he walks away from it all. Not only is it despicable, it shows a total lack of moral leadership....... leaving the States to decide they can murder babies after birth to demand no abortions whatsoever is atrocious. -

I Love Donald Trump
Yep - other than a couple of posters - it is all just insults and abuse. I feel like I am talking to teenagers and trying to tell them something they dont want to hear. The majority dont listen and just throw insults back - and when asked for reasons they say 'because'. -

Australian Aged Pension
To qualify for Age Pension you must have been an Australian resident for a minimum of 10 years in total. Additionally, for at least 5 of these years, there should be no break in your residence. The 35-year rule for the Australian Age Pension refers to the Australian Working Life Residence (AWLR) requirement. To receive the full pension rate while living overseas, you must have been an Australian resident for at least 35 years between the ages of 16 and pension age. However, it's important to clarify that this does not require you to have been working during those 35 years; it only requires that you were physically present in Australia as a resident during that time. If you have fewer than 35 years of AWLR, your pension rate is proportional to the time you spent as an Australian resident during your working life. For example, if you were a resident for 20 years, you would receive about 20/35ths of the full pension rate if living overseas. -

Obviously not, I had you pegged as the law abiding citizen you obviously are, I was speaking purely hypothetically. There's always ways around every issue.- 1
