The Lefties are devastated to learn that their beloved foreign funded and controlled GetUp! terrorists who tell them what to say and think are going to have their water cut off by DUTTO.

The GetUp! terrorists are on borrowed time just waiting for the axe to fall. Like a turkey just before XMAS!!!!


So, you're just going to ignore what you don't like, keep peddling your baseless lies?

Quality.

I guess facts and reality were never really your strong suit.  No wonder you don't like GetUp!.

Looks like I nailed it,

The point is, none of what you're saying is born from any sort of personal concerns, they're ideologically driven and you're being told what to say, and what to be outraged over.


The reason you can't reply is that you don't really understand the issue to begin with, you've just got talking points you repeat.  Since they don't cover "why" you don't like GetUp!, or how to deal with entities you do like who do worse than GetUp!, you'll just revert back to name calling and personal attacks.

You're more transparent than glass.

The reason I never trusted him was because of his history pre-politics.

All I knew of Donald Trump was that he was that rich guy in Home Alone 2 at The Plaza Hotel.

(Christmas Tradition, every year we watch Die Hard, Home Alone and Home Alone 2 ever since I was young)

Then 9/11 happened.

As I was about to leave to ride to school, the 2nd plane hit.  We stayed home that day as we had friends who live and worked in New York, some in the WTC.  I didn't really know them but it shook my parents.

From then on it was a massive topic around the house.  Thankfully our friends were fine but some at ground zero on the day.

Then we saw that Donald Trump was credited with searching for survivors in the rubble and we heard from our friends that this wasn't true.  He arrived in a suit, took some photos and then he and his entourage left.  We didn't really have such ready access to the internet back then so there was no way to check or get more information, so we just had to trust them.

I've also got Scottish relatives on my father's side who lived in Aberdeen.  They also never had anything nice to say about Trump because he said such petty things about the people who he was trying to force to sell their homes and threatening them in the media, lied about them and the dangers of Wind Mills because he wanted ocean views from the course, not windmills.

It didn't take long to learn more about him after that.  Reading his books, his history and more recently the content of his twitter from 2009 you got a real insight into the type of person he is.

What we were hearing from our friends in New York didn't help.  The city, despite what Trump's fans may say, doesn't like him nor do they think they own him credit for saving the city.  He got millions and millions of dollars from the local government for his developments with no requirement to pay it all back, money that could have gone to bettering the city rather than Trump.  And many of the developments he did with great subsidies were not great successes.

But he and his supporters claimed they were and he was owed a debt of gratitude.

He's a loud mouth liar who unfairly taints the idea of a typical New Yorker.  He will attack people, especially women, very personally and thinks that makes him a great, powerful and strong man.

I've never liked him which is why I couldn't believe firstly some of the things he said very early on in the campaign but also I couldn't believe that anyone else did believe them.

He's lucky that he was on the apprentice for so long and had people who admired his character's wealth and power.  They don't know the true Trump and now that he's President, they don't want to.

Yet he keeps lying.  Now that he's in the spotlight, people are finding out from his past alone, just how much of it was blatantly untrue.  He was so desperate to be seen as better than he was that he even posed as his own publicist...

He is truly pathetic and weak, and that was before the 2016 election.

TLDR, his actions before and after entering politics paint him, very accurately, as one of the most dishonest politicians we've ever had so high in politics in the US and even AU (which includes Abbott) and a petty, weak, vindictive and devastatingly fragile ego-driven man.  I am not surprised that I immediately assume that claims he's makes are false, the only question is how false.

That's why fact-checking is so important.

As posted in another thread.

The absolute nerve of this bloke. The bloke has been earning a million bucks a year for quite a few years and is now asking strangers to pay for his legal fees. Unreal.

He's trying to frame this as a great fight for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. But it's not. He's fighting a breach of contract.

Oh but he was happy to throw his religious beliefs out the window a few years ago when, in an effort to gain lucrative sponsorships, expand his fan base and boost his profile he appeared on the front page of a gay newspaper!

This isn't about freedom of speech or freedom of religion. It's about money. That is all he cares about.

I am on the side of kids....I like to believe every child should be given an opportunity

if you call them names or have too high expectations  then expect to be disappointed.....its up to us to make this as normal as possible....be optimistic  and not pessimistic   might help..

Look, the issue is very simple here.  Folau made an offensive comment on social medial that is against the code of conduct.  That is why he was fired.  Had he being a non christian, and made the same comment, the same would happen as well. 

So this is not a question of religions freedom, but rather code of conduct activities.  There are plenty of Christians out there.  And you dont see them going around uttering non sense that gays are going to hell.  In fact, you will see alot of Christians out there, in the community helping out marginalized people including those of LGBTI communities.

I think whoever in the Australian Christian lobby is handling this issue should be fired.  Its no wonder church attentions are declining over the years especially among young people.

Poor light, try not to choke on your latest obsession when you're not uncontrollably posting emotional threads about me.

How many threads have you started fantasising about women with male genitalia now?  I've spotted at least 3 but I'm too afraid to look for more,

Michelle Obama a Man.. ?

Jacinda Ardern was Born a Dude !

Frederica Wilson is a MAN

And that doesn't even count all the times you bring it up in other peoples threads.

Looks like you could use a drink...

Free rent init.

Given your fragile and emotional state, all is forgiven.

Mods, can you please do something about Light accusing people of being Paedophiles again?

It's getting rampant.  I stopped counting weeks ago after it reached 10 accusations but it hasn't stopped, and that's just me alone.

Surely this is one of those situations that it "depends" on right?


Well said.

Then you haven't read the thread, dear, but no worries, I'll help you out.

The world's biggest source of slavery is indentured workers - illegal migrants who are blackmailed to work for a pittance. One of the biggest markets for this form of human trafficking is the good old US of A.

I have also identified Nepalese sex workers in India and Rohinga fishermen in Thailand as other similarly exploited people who work as slaves. Indeed, they have uncovered mass graves in Southern Thailand of Rohinga refugees - the ones, mainly older people, women and children, who couldn't be put to work.

I hope that explains that, dear. If you don't want to explain what religion has to do with this, no worries. You're free to pick any of the tinted races you want, identify them as Muslim, and tell us all what rotters they are.

You can then say that such hypothetical Muslims were just obeying their sinister prophet, thus pretending that all Muslims are at risk of doing the same as them. Then, you can say, you see? Aren't these tinted races terrible? WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE.

If we say, but hang on, who said they're Muslims? You say, well, they're tinted, aren't they? And we say ah.

Cunning, no? It's worked for you for many years, and if anyone asks any pesky questions, you brush them aside as apologetic blowflies.

You'd pass them off as Islamic blowflies if you could, but the only Muslim on this site is smarter, fairer, nicer and far more articulate than you. FD keeps asking him really dumb questions to catch him out, and in the process, proves what a silly old sausage FD is.

Also, the Muslim's not tinted, which disqualifies him from being the Ooga-booga you're really out to get.

So unfair, no? You'd think they'd at least play by the rules and be tinted. FD would be happy if they just confessed to being Muslim.

Hypothetically, I mean.

Why do you assume this privatised police force is there to help the unemployed? It shows how little you really know. They are there for one reason only - COMPLIANCE. Scrapping them and the associated red tape would save billions without any impact on services because they hardly provide any services.

The Coalition only introduced them because their mates are making an absolute mint out of this bloated gravy train and the Coalition get paid kickbacks. Labor's not got clean hands either - have a look at what Kevin Rudd's wife does for a living.

And it's a massive waste of money. Many of these providers operate out of offices that are only open for one day a week. How much money is being wasted renting all of those offices? That alone is sufficient to show that the system is bloated and it can be streamlined with deep cuts without any impact on services at all.

A better model: abolish the privatised providers, abolish the other compliance burdens and ridiculous red tape imposed on the unemployed, reinstate the CES and introduce a Job Guarantee. So much money can be saved by scrapping the current bloated system that the savings could easily fund a $75 a week increase to Newstart. Alternatively, it can fund enough work for a Job Guarantee paying award wages for three days' work a week for every unemployed worker in the country.

Trump supporters often think they're alphas because they admire Trump and see themselves in him misunderstanding his desperate actions as that of an Alpha. 

A deeply insecure, easily triggered into a twitter tantrum meltdown man-baby who has to lie about every achievement he has ever had, has to attack and lie about those around him to bring them down so he looks better in comparison, who despite being gifted one of the most incredible golden spoons and starts in life still managed to fail over and over because he has an enormous safety net, who has to pay women to have sex with him and can't handle the slighted bit of criticism or even push back from those he handpicks to be in his inner circles.

Great role model...

I totally agree, in regards to Trump winning in 2020.

SadKangaroo wrote on Aug 6th, 2019 at 7:58am:
You really do yourself a disservice by posting like someone who can barely grasp the fundamentals of the English language and the written word.

Your hypocrisy aside, I agree with you about some of the problems with the left, but for different, real reasons, not the fanciful pseudo-psychology you employ that has the single goal of defending Trump and even rewriting history to do so.

It's not just the left who are at fault, the right has some major fundamental issues that is fracturing the country.  Their hyperpartisanship is destroying their own lives.

Take the farmers, they support Trump but it's his policies in trade and foreign relations that are destroying their lives and livelihoods on a scale never seen before.

He's running the budget into the ground now throwing out billions more in handouts to them, all because of his trade war with China.  Even if he's out in 2020, the damage is already done.

China is already going to Brasil for their Soy Beans and Russia for their Wheat.  Just because Trump is out doesn't mean they'll come back and if they do, it won't be at the same level (prices they pay for the goods) it will be lower, that's what happens when you're trying to sell from a point of utter desperate weakness.

But if there is one thing Trump is good at, it's fabricating his situation to hide the desperation and weakness at the foundation.

And on top of that, when the smaller Farms, the real voters, the silent majority, they won't be able to weather the storm like big agribusinesses and multinationals and they'll end up having to sell their farms to these companies who can and it will further consolidate the food industry in the US.

I almost want Trump to win in 2020.  He is wrecking the country but if he leaves office before the consequences of his actions reverberate through the industries he's destroying and the economy at large, whoever is in office after him will get the blame. 

He needs to face the music, people, even the most blinded hyperpartisan need to be slapped out of it.

What is happening to the farmers is 100% the result of Trump's policies and that should terrify him.  Those regions with even a moderate swing will cost Trump 2020. 

This is where the Dems should be focusing.  Yes healthcare is important, education is important, but these people are facing the death of an industry as we know it, all thanks to Trump, and this isn't even factoring in the hardships they're facing that will only get worse as a result of climate change, this is pure economics, driven into the ground, by Trump.

Imagine farmers not being able to sustain their businesses and the US losing their food security, or even more upward pressure on food prices once the industry has been taken over by big for-profit corporations who can set the prices.

America needs to wake up before it's too late.

But again, I almost want Trump to win.  I want these idiots, the Mech's the Scoots, the Trump and the QTards to get what they deserve.  To reap the rewards of what they've sown.

Almost.

I'll still fight for what's best for the people, which is the removal of Trump come 2020, even if they'll fight against it at every step.

Every trait he displays is that of an Omega desperate to climb the ranks but doesn't have it in him.

The lies, the reality distortion, the taken credit for others work, the shirking of responsibility, the petty childish attacks, the paying women to sleep with him, he brags about being intellectually superior to others, when he's not, the twitter meltdowns, all he's missing is a neckbeard...

He might be the President, but he's still an Omega...

All of his success is despite himself.  If he didn't have daddy's money and the constant bailouts of friends and family he's be nothing.

Never forget that.

You worship an Omega...
