democrats are fanatical. They have been living in a crafted bubble for a while. They have actually watched over the end of the west in real time.people often wonder how the USA has descended into such chaos.
its the low quality of the people who manage to rise to the top.
Not much cream, but plenty of froth.
Below is an interview with the US Secretary of commerce, Gina Raimondo.
In it she says she is not familiar with the BLS.
When ideology overtakes common sense, things go pear shaped quickly.

I agree Mick, particularly the Democrats who have a tremendous ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.people often wonder how the USA has descended into such chaos.

I heard that Russell crowe threw he's piece in and he was actually spot on the money.I agree Mick, particularly the Democrats who have a tremendous ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I barely watched the DNC but was struck by the dissonance between the present Democrat party and working Americans, particularly working male US voters. I got a similar feeling before the 2016 election and in fact predicted Hillary Clinton's defeat.
There is no arguing that Trump is a nasty piece of work. If anyone goes low, he can go lower again. The Dems seem to have a mantra now of using the same tropes in any interview on any topic to attempt to slam Trump. They will fail because they are not down in the dirt people. The are mostly disaffected far left or college educated and Nepo women. They are gents and ladies with a few outright mad Gaza gremlins pushing a message that means nothing for working families. They have lost the Jewsih vote and are now desperately trying to get it back.
Walz seems to be their token white working class male. I can see him fall on his face.
It is a shame to see a great party fall on its face, twice in one decade. Kamala I haven't mentioned which means I guess that she is a liability for them.

This a worldwide problem. The ALP will get kicked out next Queensland election.The map below might help to explain some of the things that happen in the USA.
More than half the population in the US live in the 7 megaregions outlined in various colours.
These mega regiois occupy about 15% of the land mass.
The other 48% live in the non shaded areas, in 85% of the land mass.
In our recent ten week trip in the USA, we specifically aimed to see as many of the National Parks as we could.
So naturally, we spent the vast majority of our time in the 85% area.
We saw hundreds of pro trump signs, ranging from complete billboards to small bumper stickers.
We saw two Biden support stickers on cars, one in LA, and one in Seattle.
It became obvious that trumps support lie in the rural and semi rural areas of the US.
We spoke to quite a few Trump supporters, being careful to let them know we were from Oz and had no axe to grind.
Their responses were varied, but can best be summed up the statement that they want their old way of life back.
Mom, Dad, two kids, the dog, a big family wagon that took them dressed up in their best Sunday clothes to Church along wide safe streets , and most of all, a government and other busybodies that kept out of their lives.
I did not want to disappoint them by suggesting that those days are gone forever, no matter who wins in November.

U.S. Apology and Compensation: The U.S. government initially defended the action as a tragic accident of war but later expressed regret. In 1996, the U.S. reached a settlement with Iran, agreeing to pay $61.8 million in compensation to the families of the victims, though the U.S. did not admit legal liability.All the hand wringing about the supreme court decision recently about giving the president immunity seems to ignore so much history.
If indeed this is a new get out of jail card free, why was George Bush never inducted for this?

It’s convenient, and maybe even a bit comforting, to just sidestep this as classic Trump overstatement and showmanship. But the record is very clear that his rhetoric has grown more ominous and his policies more draconian over time.CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.
It’s exhausting and bewildering to follow it all. But tuning it out is a luxury only afforded to Americans so long as Trump remains out of power.The mainstream media cannot report every outrageous remark, or they would do nothing else. Even those shocking comments that do get reported tend to make just a blip. The next day, if not the next minute, Trump is telling another lie or vilifying another public servant or issuing another threat. Yesterday’s shocker is soon crushed beneath today’s, and then tomorrow’s, until it’s ancient history.
Did you notice the democrats basically stole all John Howard's policies.I watched a small portion of the debate.
Based on that small sample, Harris won the debate, in that she was less of PIA than Trump.

All of the above is true, but it matters little in terms of how the punters see it.Did you notice the democrats basically stole all John Howard's policies.
I'm too biased to make a call on the debate. Harris promised a lot but they are actually in government. They probably could have done it already if they were going to do something.
All I see is more taxpayer pain.
I think the soundbite of "Why hasn't she done it already" will play hard. There an unease with the amount of illegals flooding the country that is also pretty visible.All of the above is true, but it matters little in terms of how the punters see it.
people who have been screwed in the past only want to hear that a candidate is going to fix things, they are not interested in the hows.
So much of politics in the USA is visual, short catchy soundbites, and the ease of speaking lies without anyone pulling them up on it.
Either candidate only has to convince a very small number of the swinging voters in each state to win.
The rest are welded on to each candidate.

The other optic was that the ABC moderators were debating for her whenever it went unscripted. There were clear biases. It's funny that these are rarely in unfavourable conditions for Democrats. Where as Trump will go on anything.
