  1. I'd like to hear what Tucker "the defender of children" Carlson has to say on this. Then again maybe not.

  2. HOW LONG BEFORE HE DISAPPEARS? Or gets s sudden illness, or trips and falls down the stairs.

  3. Go check he bio she was only a county court judge for a bit over 2 years. The rest of her career she was either into politics or was using her political stance to get elected as a DA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanine_Pirro For someone touted as this "judge" she's very light on experience, but then facts don't matter to Fox viewers so why would details?

  4. Yeah I agree. My first impression was how FAKE this looked.

  5. As an Australian I totally agree. We knew what he was like and tried to warn the Brits when he went there and we tried to warn America when he went there. NONE OF YOU LISTENED. Our best hope is that either the Brits or the Yanks do us a favor and give him a southside send off. Southside send off? Its Chicago slang for being vanished. I went to college in America

  6. Your right. Note how Bongino isn't yelling about the truth like Hannity tries. For Bongino its all about how you stabbed Trump in the back. Trump isn't King of America and never was, but Bongino talks like he is. America was founded on a revolution to throw out the ABSOLUTE RULE of a king and his lieutenants. James Comey describe Trump as "acting like a mob boss". Look at how Bongino is talking, its like a Mob lieutenant.

  7. I'm wondering if this is all just one giant joke like an SNL skit. I will not be surprised if he just turns around in the next few weeks and says: GOTCHA I wont be surprised if he's making a film titled "Politics: It's really this Stupid!"

  8. I'm an engineer and have been trying to point out that we just can't simply pull technology out of our collective ass. Turn switch from coal to clean energy takes time and the coal industry has done so much delaying of replacement technology we really are in a very, very bad place. I'm Australian and my first major revelation was 4 years ago when I did dippy little consult job where I had to do a Power Point for a Taiwanese outfit into Australia's future energy needs. We haven't built a major base load power station on our eastern side since 1999. Our population has gone from 20 to over 25 million in that time, because the coal industry has held up any and all development. The lack of supply has almost quadrupled our basic power costs. To get past it we need a bunch of large base load power stations and those just can't be built overnight. Even coal fire power stations can't be built fast enough to help. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  9. The real problem is the hypocrisy of the right wing of politics. For sure the far radical left have stupidity in abundance, but the right have this incredible hypocrisy. The moment they can they impose their rules and values on others. Look at what has just happened in Texas. Look at how the gun lobby defend their interpretation of the 2nd. They demand governments prevent unsafe people (criminals, mentally ill,... etc.) owning guns and then they prevent those governments doing background checks. I just argued the other day with a clown over the right to have a political candidate review an election count. When I reminded him of how SCOTUS intervened and STOPPED the Florida in 2000 he went nuts. This is the biggest issue with tribal politics facts don't matter, rules don't matter, laws don't matter only what the tribe wants matters.

  10. That's not just a question for America its a question for every Western Democracy, because every Western Democracy has its populists. This is Prof Mark Blyth (Brown U.) on Global Trumpism. Yes its long but also worth it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGuaoARJYU0 Its from July 2020 and the Q&A is incredibly insightful because of how accurate it was.

  11. One of my favorite quotes over the past few years. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Although its aimed primarily at America it does apply to EVERY other nation to some extent. I'm Australian and we have these sorts of people too. We can easily swap out United States and put in Australia and it would work just as well. I was in Canada for work a couple of years ago and they have them as well. We know the Brits fairly well and they have no shortage of them. The still keep sending them to Australia. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Go look at any international news broadcast and you'll quickly realise everyone has these people. What's different about America is how many of them speak in front of a microphone no matter how stupid they sound or look.

  12.  @PRiMETECHAU  Actually we have been doing that in Australia too. I'm an aerospace engineer and some of our recent military spending has had ZERO OVERSIGHT and much of it is horrendously overblown. Most people now know the sub deal with the French was a monster cockup of staggering proportions, but several recent purchases are also equally stupid but for less money. The upgrade in naval facilities in Perth, the new sub base on the East coast and the new tanks for the army are 3 of the worst engineering decisions I have ever seen and I have seen some doozies in my time. Watch that space because I intend to HELP rattle that cage. Its not that I am against those purchases its the amounts that I know are wrong.

  13. Actually that 2.5% is far more important than Farron has played it. More and more often elections are being won by smaller and smaller margins. Not necessarily in individual seats where there's a clear advantage, but across the broader spectrum. People like Mark Blyth and others have been commenting on this recently. Further 2.5% is the sort of number that decides POTUS these days. North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada were all decided by less than 2.5% With Michigan being 2.78% So Trumps bark is more like a rattle snake bite. There's lots of noise intended to scare and a poisonous bite. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  15. Republicanism is now the world standard for hypocrisy. They howl and scream about culture wars and yet they throw culture bombs incessantly. They scream about freedom and democracy as they strip other people of their freedom and democracy.

  16. He was interviewed on Australian television and they lacerated his attitude. He describe himself as a "provocateur" and basically got laughed at. His complete lack of anything resembling substance was there for anyone to see. He was a joke BEFORE he got banned. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  17. How do you think the rest of the world feels about a country with enough nukes to fry the planet a few hundred times, that has 74million of these clowns who still think Trump is the Messiah.

  18. TO ALL: The graph David shows is here -> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/ Just above the graph David shows is the cumulative graph. If you put your mouse on the ORANGE line you can see the cumulative number day by day ON March 2, 2021 the Texas Death toll for COVID-19 was 44,474 ON April 2, 20021 the Texas Death toll for COVID-19 was 48,850 an increase of 4,376 ON May 2, 2021 the Texas Death toll for COVID-19 was 50,567 an increase of 1,717 As of May 31 the Texas Death toll for COVID-19 is 51,727 with 12 more Texans dying yesterday. The sources for that data include the Texas Department of State Health Services. There might be Republicans who believe in science but Lauren Boebert DOESN'T BELIEVE IN MATH

  19. Your part right, it wasn't just those films its the whole Hollywood romanticising guns issue. Think about the American films on War. Irrespective of whether it was the War of Independence, the Indian Wars, the cowboy land wars, the 1st or 2nd World Wars Hollywood has been 1 giant propaganda machine promoting the "Good guy (or girl) with a gun" fantasy. How many people did John Wayne kill on film? I honestly don't know but I'd bet its in the 100s if not over 1000. Arnie Swartz once commented (as a joke) at the premier of one of his films "We toned down this film. We only killed 250." or words to that effect.

  20. A couple of people have pointed that he might not be well. He's always appeared as calm and in control, but the other day he was holding a page and his hands were twitching and trembling. Its wasn't major but it was noticeable.

  21. Like is anyone actually surprised by this. Trump doesn't believe in most of the Bill of Rights. On the 1st - He only believes his speech should be free and others should shut up. On the 2nd - Its fundamentally about public safety and the right to protect yourself and he's advocated beating people up at his rallies. On the 3rd - He violated the city of Portland's 3rd amendment rights by placing uninvited troops onto the streets. On the 4th - He had those UNIDENTIFEDABLE officers grab people off the streets of Portland without reading them their rights into unmarked vans. And lets not forget that he signed the Bill that lets the FBI, NSA, CIA...etc. track your internet usage without a search warrant making all the stuff Snowden blew the whistle on now legal. On the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th - When has he shown any consideration to the rule of Law or due process? He just broke with 130 years of NOT executing prisoners (2 so far) during a transition and letting the next President handle it. At the same time he just Pardoned 4 mass murdering mercenaries who work for the brother of his Education Secretary who doesn't believe in public education. On the 10th - How did he treat the state of Oregon again and how has he treated the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania and their right hold elections how they want???? FYI - I'm Australian and know this stuff. How did 74million Americans just vote for a guy who clearly doesn't? ✋😲🤚

  22. I'm Australian but went to college in America. I love the people and the country but this garbage wrecking the place and it needs to stop. As an Australian I feel ashamed that an Australian (Rupert Murdoch) is in the middle of this. He just has his people pump out this endless stream of complete crap. And this is not just wrecking America its wrecking democracy across the world.

  23. Its technically impossible for Rudy Giuliani to fart - his mouth is never closed long enough to build up the back pressure.

  24. I'm Australian but went to college in America on a sports scholarship (late 80s). In those years I got to see some of the best in America and the American people. The earliest I can remember the USA chant was "the Miracle on Ice" hockey match. That sorts of highlights the change that's happened. At that time it was sort "our nation has achieved something" and America has had a lot of achievements to be proud of. Landing on the moon, the Olympics, film, television, music, arts. The American College sports system is incredible - I know I was a part of it. I was sort of fortunate in that all my frat brothers, classmates and teammates had all done civics in high school. They gave me a sort of hands on education about the Constitution. They had pride in the Constitution but it was pride born from education and understanding. I have asked about it and apparently during the Bush years civics education was defunded. These people in these videos and this stuff they scream and rant about is just ignorant garbage and it nothing to be proud of or chant about. FYI - Yes we have people this ignorant and this stupid in Australia as well.

  25. Since you bring up sci-fi here's one of my favourites. “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” - Isaac Asimov (edit) but to be fair there's similar cults in every nation.

  26. Never forget the most important fact of a Fox viewer - "We don't care. We believe what Sean, Tucker, Laura, Jeanine and all the others say." I'm Australian, we tried warning the Brits what Murdoch was like when he went there and we tried warning America - nobody listened.

  27. Its American Right Wing Libertarianism logic at its finest. "We demand the liberty to strip you of your liberty!" "We want small government with no regulations on us, so that we can force our regulations on everyone else."

  28.  @Seriouslydave  Yeah kind of but there's a difference. When right wingers get government money its a payment for providing services to society. When anyone else gets government money its socialism.

  29. That's blunt but about how I feel. Like David we shouldn't take pleasure, but we shouldn't waste an ounce of sympathy when there are those who have genuinely been hurt.

  30. Lindsey Graham (on twitter) "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." 7:03 am · 4 May 2016 That's the exact time and date because its still there copy & paste, like I just did.

  31. He doesn't simply know the comprehension of his voters he knows what motivates them. I you look at Trumps career and note his time with pro-wrestling. Look at his rallies and they are the same thing. At pro-wrestling you have people operating in a fantasy environment where you hope your hero wins. EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE KNOWS ITS FAKE, that audience wants to believe its real (at least at some level). Trump is simply using that same narrative with the same audience and HE KNOWS they want to believe the fantasy - so he fuels it. How you beat people who WANT to believe in that sort of fantasy - who knows????? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  32. Everyone needs to shut and let the Trumpsters talk and talk and talk. Let them say what they like. Sooner or later one of them is going to say or do something truly stupid (they can't help themselves) and when they do just stand back and let the FBI/DOJ throw them in jail. Look what just happened to Alex Jones. He couldn't help himself.

  33. Its not just American democracy its Western Democracy. America might be in the worst state but make no mistake EVERY Western Democracy is in trouble. I'm an Australian engineer, who went to college in America. We have all the same shite here in Australia. I was in Canada for work a few years back and it was the same there. We get the news out of Asia, Europe and Britain and its the same story in all those places. Its certainly more blatant in America, but make no mistake its EVERYWHERE. We have all allowed a tiny collection of hyper-wealthy insanely selfish people (usually referred to as the top 1% or just 1%ers). I've spent a chunk of my COVID downtime trying to workout how to handle mangers better. They keep pressing idiotic project strategies. Most of them have economics degrees so I started watching people like Mark Blyth (Brown U.) who's a political economist. He looks at how political and economic systems interact, which suited my engineering background because he uses techniques very similar to system engineering. Back in June 2019 he did 3 lectures at McMaster U. in Canada. One on Global Trumpism, which is easy to find. The other 2 were on "How we got here." and "Can we have it all." The talk on "How we got here" is really interesting because it covers the last 120years of economic history. He uses an analogy of 3 computer systems and how just like with real computers they need to have either of both their hardware and software upgraded. He explains that we should have had a major upgrade after the 2008 FGC and it never happened, because the top 1% were bailed out. Instead of cleaning house we made it worse and we now have this insanity where the top 1% get everything they want and the rest of us get smashed. They control our governments, media and courts. Orwell said it best "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever."

  34. Great comment on how far back this idiocy goes. I'm Australian but went to college in America and was there in the late 80s when televangelism was making it way into peoples lives and they started getting caught out like Jim Baker was. Its so sad to see that America has continued down this path to where that many people see Trump as a viable alternative to reality. By the way America isn't alone with this stuff. We have them in Australia too. I was in Canada for work 3 years ago and they have them as well. Go watch the news out of Europe they are everywhere. There's a great meme going around about how the village idiot used to be restricted to the village but now with social media they can link up and spread their idiocy. I think Joe Biden's greatest challenge will be re-engaging these people with reality. So far his hiring of people from Goldman Sachs and McKinsey doesn't make me confident.

  35. Yeah but Trump supporters don't care. I'm Australian but have a good friend in Pennsylvania and I hope for him and his family you guys send Mehmet Oz packing. An Australian TV crew was in Pennsylvania just before the 2020 election because it was a swing state. There was a cook from a diner who had what I think sums up the politics of the entire Western World. He said "I just wish the career politicians would just go away." Right now Australia we've just started our next federal election campaign and that EXACTLY sums up how many of us feel. We've just had enough of the career politicians who promise everything and deliver nothing. Best wishes to you and the people of Pennsylvania.

  36. None of the other 9 Amendments that make up the Bill of Rights never imagined that the people would turn on them and flip them back on the American people. I'm actually Australian but went to college in America (late 80s). I did engineering but a bunch of my Frat brothers were pre-law. So I ended up being asked a lot about how Australia worked and we had many conversations about the Amendments. These days I can barely believe what's happening. Americans used to be proud that because of civics classes they understood what their constitution was and importantly WHY it was great. These days I feel the US Constitution is one of the great tragedies of modern society. Without it the modern world as we know it might not have existed. Do you know that the reason every developed nation has a police force independent of the military is because of the 2nd Amendment. It comes from that bit about a "well organized militia" being important to public security (and safety). Prior to the 2nd no country in history had a civilian controlled police force dealing with crime and security. It had always been done via the king's or emperor's or regent's central command using their military. Go check your pre-revolution history and try and find mention of police officers. The colonies weren't a police state because the police didn't exist. It was a military dictatorship ruled over by military officers and policed by their troops. The entire Western World has the founding fathers to thank for so many basic freedoms. They might not be spelled out in our laws or constitutions the same way but we got them because the founding fathers did what they did. It took me many years to realise that my frat brothers were right about many things. Its why I now consider it such a tragedy that the nation that gave the world this incredible gift of "basic human rights" is the nation tearing it apart. As for Rupert Murdoch. We tried to warn the British before he moved there and started doing what he had done here - they didn't listen. We then tried to warn America what he was like when he moved there - you didn't listen. Every nation has some people who they wished never existed, he's one of ours.

  37. He's got nothing to lose. Note what he describes about those who are effectively trapped by the Republican base (as in the voters). I wished they talked about why the base is the way it is. I would have like to hear him speak about Fox, OAN, Newsmax, etc. and how they have pounded the Republican base into the enraged fascist mob they've become. While the Republican base lives inside its Fox-OAN-Newsmax conspiracy echo chamber there's not much of a future for America. Over 74 million voted to re-elect Trump. That's more than the entire population of countries like France and Britain and almost double the population of Canada and almost 3 times the population of Australia. I would like to hear guys like this talk about getting those people out of those echo chambers and reconnecting them with reality.

  39.  @xzqzq  Buddy there are plenty of channels where you can go and spout that garbage - THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. 1st: NO ONE is attempting to oust or overthrow the legally elected POTUS who at this moment is Donald Trump. No one has gone to the White House and demanded he leave or resign or anything else. A LEGALLY CONDUCTED ELECTION happened and HE LOST. 2nd: Forget Giuliani's bullshit at press conferences and mock trials. IN COURT WHERE IT MATTERS he's FAILED TO PROVE ANYTHING. 3rd: As for Michael Flynn, he has retweeted a call for martial law. That's seditious which might be hard under civilian law because of the 1st Amendment, but Flynn's ex-military and his oath to protect the Constitution still applies. He's accountable under the UCMJ and now facing a potential court martial.

  40. Its not an American problem either. I'm Australian and we had what we call a Royal Commission into our banks. Its a bit like an American senate hearing where its conducted like a trial and if you lie you can go for perjury. During the Royal Commission one of the major bank managers admitted (under oath) that his bank had defrauded 1000s of customers with false fees. He admitted to orchestrated fraud and enough of it to have the bank decaled a criminal organization. If a stockbroker, financial consultant, accountant or any normal person had done it they would have gone to jail and possibly been asset stripped. No one was charged let alone went to jail. They simply got away with it and even though they only stole small amounts it added up to millions. Before that we had the Panama papers that named over 1200 Australians. Nobody has been charged or gone to jail over that. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ I was in Canada a few years back they had a similar thing with the Paradise Papers. Nobody got charged there and nobody went to jail. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Trump and friends screamed about Hunter Biden getting a job using daddy's name, which he did. But Jared & Ivanka got positions in the White House from which they made millions. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ Clinton got photographed with Jeffery Epstein. Trump was photographed with Jeffery Epstein. Epstein's dead and so far nobody except Prince Andrew has been accused of anything. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  41. It goes back much further. He was the guy who gave Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz the plan for invading Iraq that ended in disaster. Its all detailed in a 2004 PBS Frontline called "Rumsfeld's War" I started a thread with a brief summary.

  47. I agree during his POTUS campaign there was an hour long sit down with him, a host and 2 undecided voters who simply asked him questions and he answered him. I thought he was brilliant. There was no BS, no hype - he simply answered their questions. He pointed out his main motivation which was the lack of people trained for what industry wants. I'm Australian but went to college in America. So I'm pretty interested in America from both a personnel view and from WTF is going with our most important partner. That point he raised about training people would have landed well almost ANYWHERE in the Western world. Because we all run very similar economic policies we have a lot of similar issues and training people for industry is a huge issue. Just go watch some of what people like Mike Rowe have pointed out in recent years. I actually thought Yang should have pushed to become Biden's Secretary of Education and see if he could undo some of the damage done by Betsy DeVos. He had some good ideas and could have found his feet in Washington. Instead he got into that NYC Mayor election where he got set up with that idiotic question. Even in Australia we heard how a couple of Democrat strategists got into his campaign. I have a friend who used to be involved in student politics and questions like that don't just come out of nowhere. That was a set up to put Yang back in his place. Its the sort of thing that happens all over the world when some young guy or gal comes in from "outside" the accepted party system. Its a real shame because his ideas on getting people trained were world class.

  48. TO ALL FROM AUSTRALIA Here are the links to the interview and the full program it was done as part of. A bit of background for those unfamiliar with Australia's ABC and the program called "4 Corners" this interview was done for. Australia's ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) no affiliation to America's ABC. It is our public broadcaster in a similar way to America's PBS and the British BBC. The program "4 Corners" does investigative long length stories the same way PBS's Frontline and BBC's Panorama do. This interview was done as part of a 2 Part special about how the Murdoch owned Fox News became Donald Trumps propaganda machine called "Fox and the Big Lie". The program included interviews with several ex-Fox presenters including Gretchen Carlson as well as the Sidney Powell interview. I have left a separate answer with additional background information about why Australia is so concerned about Rupert Murdoch's behavior in America.
