Why, he is happy to tell the world how great he is without any prompting .... but you are right about people needing to open their eyes and loosening their "rusted on" minds and look to see if all he says is true ..... well, it couldn't be could it, he says one thing and then claims he said the opposite and that was always his position on what ever, yet when a video shows him saying the original nonsense it's "fake news" ......
Planet America on the ABC is always an interesting watch as are the iview previous episodes, well, for those that can see the difference between what Donald claims is fake news and the tweets and press conferences where he contradicts himself regularly

Slipping away comes to mind as the polls put him further and further behind sleepy Joe. God help the world when the 77 year old alternative who has trouble staying awake looks good. Kamala must be rubbing her mitts together, gunna be the first black female pres when Joe carks it under the pressure of the job.

JB knew what he was doing when he chose Ms Kalama to be his VP.esp because he knew he may not make the term . Wow 77 is not old, Who cares anyway as long as they all stay over there. Country of total loonies.

Country of total loonies.

They must be. They elected The Clown in the first place!

[Shirley]

Reckon they will elect him again, interesting time ahead.

[Keith Morris]

"tanks" here---
If they don't elect him they can elect the other clown, now that they have two clowns to choose from.

I do hope he gets in. I really do!

I bet you loved to watch the fights at school as well Doesn't matter which way it goes as far as the fight thing goes, one part of the country who is already heavily armed and ready, will take on the other part if he doesn't get in and the place will fall into a civil war.
If he does get in, the country will simply revert to civil war with everyone fighting each other anyway... till someone shots the lot of them and a whole new bunch will need to be selected from the remains of the winning side ...... I wonder if they will be able to pronounce the Chinese names correctly???? Doesn't matter really, if they can't they will be shot ...... At least then America will get back to work, maybe not the way they'd hoped but they will be working .... or forming part of a very large compost pile

We had best be ready to clear out all the America bases in Australia if things start to turn bad, well send all the yanks home and keep the military equipment so we can fight off the inevitable invasion that will follow the toppling of the USA ....
It isn't a coincidence that China has escalated tensions around the world, it is preparing to go into battle if needed .... With the USA toppled the resistance to their aim of world domination will be greatly reduced ......
Many will still remember fighting the Japanese, I believe we will be fighting side by side in the next one .....

It will be at least 5 years before china is ready to go to war, they may have a very large army and ground forces, but they lack naval and air strength to fight away from their homeland. That's why they are building aircraft carriers and other naval vessels as fast as possible, so they can move to blockade and control places not land locked to them.

War today can't possible be played out as in the past. No longer can anyone conceal movement of armies, so surprise attacks cant happen unless satellite facilities can be shutdown and all sides are working towards that end. For china to invade either the USA or Aus without is knowing they are coming, is impossible today. Aus has the most advanced radar and satellite control systems on the planet, our over the horizon radar is light years ahead of everyone else and until this century we had the most advanced sonar tracking system on the planet. Then the government decide we don't need a state of the art defence industry, we'll just buy every thing from the northern hemisphere, irrelevant to the glaring fact, if something goes wrong with the supply chain, we are stuffed.

This is no different to the past, when Aus provided the japs with iron ore and scrap metal, which they used to build their war machine against us and now we are doing the same for china, giving them all our natural resources which they are already starting to use against us with their imposition of blocks on things we send to china, that they can get elsewhere. That approach will grow as the idiots in power grovel over how much of our resources and money they can give their vested interests to feed the chinese war machine.

Both parties in this country are hell bent on supplying the chinese with what ever they want as fast as possible to feed the insanity of economic and profit growth at any cost.

As for the USA, totally stuffed and it won't matter who gets in, their country is collapsing rapidly and if the rump gets in, it will be fast and furious down hill into civil war. If Biden gets in, he will probably drop dead quickly and Harris will become the first women president who will be the catalyst for the right wing to start a civil war.

As for our country, there is no hope of a recovery. Both parties are hell bent on clinging desperately to the past, all they can consider is major infrastructure which will put more of our money and services into the hands of their corporate world mates. Which means more toll roads, more expensive public transport, energy and a few short term jobs for the same select few. Aus has the highest electricity and other energy prices on the planet, yet we have the ability to provide energy almost free.
