  1. I'm Australian but went to college at U. of Illinois. I went to college with a few of Iowans and there decent people and there's no need to trash their state just because the GOP is this ridiculous. I can also say the same for states like Kentucky, Indiana and Wisconsin. I spent my first thanksgiving in Kentucky. Beautiful place and wonderful people who deserve way better than Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. I spent another thanksgiving in Cincinnati - great fun city. EVERY State in America I spent time in I met good people. I have to tell Australians all the time NOT TO judge America on just on the GOP. I also have to remind them that the insanity of the GOP is to a significant extent driven by Rupert Murdoch, a malignant creature we will never be able to apologise enough for. He's helped ruin the political systems in 3 countries - Australia, American & Britain. One final thing to remember the next time your trashing a state like Iowa. DO NOT FORGET the Democrats are so hopeless that they can't beat these clowns. Time and time again they lose and lose and lose to this nonsense. Do they ever stop and wonder WHY? And before you ask the Australian Left have EXACTLY the same problem.

  2. No need to panic the NSW Liberals have been doing similar shite for decades and will probably see this as an improvement.

  4.  @paulsultana8683  OMG are you that stupid or do you just have amnesia. For a Donald Trump wannabe Billionaire in politics we have CLIVE PALMER. For religious fundamentalist freaks like Mike Johnson we had Fred Nile and more recently Sco Mo & Co. For a maniac with a big mouth but no brain like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert we have Pauline Hanson and we keep electing her by the way. For corrupt sacks of crap all on the take we have the New South Wales government. I'd name names but there's just too many. Seriously Sydney is almost as bad as New York and Chicago for that stuff. For politicians doing insider trading we had the Joh Bjelke-Petersen government doing it decades before Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Dem & GOP goon squads. For dumbass tree hugging clowns like AOC who might care about the environment but are too stupid to get anything meaningful done we have the Australian Greens. For corrupt Lobbyists we could talk about Western Australia and Brian Burke or go Federal with Chris Pyne. For ignorant rural types that claim climate change isn't real as they watch their crops get destroyed like the GOP voters in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska & Iowa do we have the Australian National Party For arrogant self righteous corrupt ratbags who just say stuff they know isn't true like the GOP we have the Australian Liberals who like the GOP are owned by Rupert Murdoch. For dumbass clowns who lose easily winnable elections like the Democrats (lets not forget 2016) we have Australian Labor (lets not forget 2019) who like the Democrats are NOT owned but also "PWNED" by Rupert Murdoch. For letting corrupt consultancy firms manipulate our government and even after they are caught we just let them off without even a slap on the wrist lets not forget PwC, KPMG, EY or Deloitte. Who by the way are all American companies we let come here. For letting banks get away with outright criminal behavior like the Americans did after the 2008 GFC we did the same after the Banking Royal commission. On the straight up criminal front I have 2 wonderful examples for your amnesia. 1- John Howard, a trained lawyer who ignored international law and had us join the Invasion of Iraq where we helped get over 400,000 innocent civilians killed. 2 - Sir (gotta love the knighthood) Henry Bolte who despite being told that Ronald Ryan DID NOT SHOOT and KILL warder George Hodson because the ballistics said he was shot from an elevated position AND they knew the eye witness LIED about what he saw still went and hanged Ronald Ryan anyway because (and he told people) "We have an election this year and I need to look tough on crime." So whatever the FCK you want to post in future don't ever be so damn FCKING STUPlD to claim Australians can't be just as stupid as the rest of the planet. We might not do it to the same Olympic Gold Medal Class level of stupidity that America does but damn son we have done it for decades and still keep doing it.

  6.  @gabrielmccray3457  Yeah - but just remember Indiana has its fair share of idiots and bimbos. Or do you need reminding that Hoosier rhymes with loser.

  8.  @tiaroja70  Absolutely - there's unfinished business from last season, BUT we still have to deliver. There's 7 other teams and NONE OF THEM are interested in last season.

  9.  @Rjd-o2p  Yeah and we all have them. Another Australian slapped back at me earlier that it was an insult to compare our politics to America's and then I reminded them of our issues and how far back they go. The differences are: 1) Our issues aren't as big as America's; and 2) We don't have nuclear weapons or hand control of them over to maniacs..
