He speaks so well and hopefully the youth of America will get behind people like him and try to change things for the better. The Democratic party need to stand up and offer real alternatives to the Trump government and they can't achieve this unless they want to shake things up well and truly.

Exactly. Jake Tapper going on and on about Biden when he is not even in power anymore, and instead sane washing a lying, vindictive and corrupt person in Trump and his spineless idiotic minions surrounding him. Due process, rule of law, freedom of press etc is now out of the window. It is like a scary version of the Twilight Zone except it is real.

Yes. He now is owning the press and the courts. Only the American people themselves can stop it but I doubt it. With Paramount giving in to his crazy demands, it is like the final nail in the coffin. America might end up like Russia, North Korea etc where the entire press, courts and law enforcement is owned by the likes of leaders like Putin and his buddies. The way Trump's cabinet etc all just feign and crawl to him, it is going exactly the same way. So weird to see a country that opening and proudly cherished their democracy becoming like the places and ideologies that they all once fought against.

It is so infuriating. They just all cave in and by doing so, give him more and more power to do whatever he wants. Soon, it will be illegal to even criticise him in the press. It is fast heading that way. 60 minutes was a informative and excellent show with real investigate journalism. Slippery slope now to see what Paramount dishes up.

The supreme court are mainly Trump puppets. He made sure of that. Another nail in the coffin for American democracy as his minions are giving him more and more power.

I have got so depressed and weary with the constant Trump sane washing by the media. It does not matter what Trump does, his cult adores and supports him. Every single day, he says or does something dreadful and the media don't seem to be properly criticising what he is doing in fear of sounding biased against him. If any other president of the USA in the past had behaved how he behaved, they WOULD have been called out by the entire media and also supporters of their own party. Nixon was a choir boy compared to Trump but Republicans then called out his lying and corruption and did not excuse him. I used to wonder how Hitler could have fooled so many people and his evilness and fascism become all consuming with a once democratic and fair country but I can now see why. The fact that people are not learning from history is what is especially frustrating and frightening. I was watching his minions all taking about the Bombing of Iran and something was so sickening. They were mainly talking about him - how great Donald J Trump is. It is like a new version of Dear Leader. In the past, people supported a party - this is like a cult. The idiots he has put in charge, just praise and praise him like a lot of mindless morons.

Exactly. America is becoming a fascist country right now in front of the world's eyes and unless Americans do something and do something quickly to stop this such as mass protests, nobody giving in to his corrupt and unlawful actions - this will be so hard to reverse. The media also needs to step up massively. Trump is trying to threaten and silence the media and it is a MUST that they call him out. Instead, seeing so much talk of Joe Biden INSTEAD of reporting the destruction of the constitution, ignoring long held laws, intimidation of anyone that does not agree with Trump, his love of evil dictator leaders and hatred of democratic allies and obvious bribery is shameful. Jake Tapper especially is a disgrace. Spending all this time taking of Biden and promoting his book INSTEAD of calling out the incredibly real danger facing all Americans right now.

Admire him so much

Bruce Springsteen - telling it like it is. Trump has already done a childish crazy tweet about Bruce.

Agree 100 % Now Murdoch has sold Foxtel, I am hoping too the Sky News can go back to what is was 20 years ago which was a great news service. The Australian newspaper is nothing more than far right propaganda now. It always has been conservative but used to be a quality newspaper. Has not been that way for years now. Young people reject Murdoch and Trump like candidates though. That is so obvious now. If the Liberal party don't see the writing on the wall and keep going down the far right path, they will become obsolete. It is wrong that they are called the Liberal party as they are anything but Liberal. We will see if they try and learn from this election and start turning their back on right wing ideology and dog whistling the bigots etc.

I see some glimmer of hope for the world Kurt. The complete and utter rejection of all Trump like candidates in every single state of Australia was so relieving and a lot of people are feeling emotional about it. Considering a lot of our press ( ghastly Murdoch who has his tentacles everywhere ) was pushing for the Trump style candidates, was fantastic to see Australians come out in force against it. We also have compulsory voting here which means people have to turn up to the polls - even if they only mark the names off and do a donkey vote ! - but it keeps everyone informed and engaged. They can also do postal votes as well. I wish they had compulsory voting in the USA as I think there would of easily been a different result. People get too complacent or can't be bothered on the day etc when voting is not compulsory. Also, most of our voters were under the age of 50 and it has been proven they are less conservative than older voters and don't fall for the right wing garbage that the media serves up. Women in Australia also can't stand Trump or Trump like policies and that is another issue. I am watching a lot of American news shows and the difference between Fox and the others is staggering. Murdoch and Fox network has done this in my opinion. They admitted in court to lying about the so called stolen election but the worst part of the settlement did not require them to play that on the Fox network. I will be very interested to see how the Mid terms elections go in the USA and am hoping that the American people will stand up against Fascism.

Another fantastic thing is the Labor party won easily in every single state of Australia. It was an absolute thrashing of the right wing parties. Feel so relieved and proud of Australian voters.

I tagged our international members previously but interested also in the thoughts of our Australian members @San @Bitch I'm Christian @swimtoshore @Creepy Insane Person @Bretticus @Michael. @cardiganstarlet@Paul @xtaticboy82

@runa @Raider of the lost Ark @VogueMusic @Ciccone's Cheeks @ULIZOS @Kim @SOON @svperstar @MadFan @acko @promise to try @Cyber-Raga @Sanctuary1995 @VictorMarques @elijah @KalamazooJay @IsaacHarris @Martin B. @Genevieve Vavance @Nikki @Lolo @Kurt420 I know you all hate Trump and the right wing conservatives worldwide from the politics threads so bringing some good news about Australia completely rejecting the right wing parties - some who were using Trump's playbook tactics. First Canada and now Australia in the last couple of weeks. Some good news

I feel exactly the same Leebf. Lovely to see you on the forum again too. xxxx
