What’s disappointing is how the so called greatest democracy is falling so easily and how the so called checks and balances can be side stepped so easily.

I’m dead set worried everytime i turn the telly on now , in case a war has started.

No need to guess who those enemies are.

Same way the ‘social contract’ can be ripped up. Just takes someone willing or insane enough to throw a punch or steal/destroy your property. They know that the only immediate options are capitulation or escalation. Then imagine the transgressor’s best mates and family are the police, judge, media and half the onlookers.

I suppose there’s the real possibility of a military intervention if things go too far (they have already, but you know), Trump didn’t exactly endear himself to the armed forces last time. But they’re stacking that deck too.

They said they’d do these things. Then America decided not to vote, cos Kamala or some dim shitferbrain thinking

I think we might be surprised… I’m sure they’ll dream up some imaginary threat.

They only have to put a finger, even one from tiny hands, on the scale, and it would tip.

He could ride off into the sunset for having stopped the Russian invasion for good, rather than whatever his master plan is.

The Congressional voting in two years time would be looking a bit shaky.
Martial law may be imposed, thus no elections :wink:

Nothing the Republicans are doing now indicates that they expect to face genuine competitive elections in future.

Putin’s Russia was always the model. They will be as easy to get rid of as herpes from here.

What a disaster.

Yep, there will be sham elections.

Wonder if I’ll get arrested next time I go through customs for my voting record.

Supreme Court has already decided against Trump a few times, will have to be in the spotlight soon

Could you share the verdicts from Supreme Court that have gone against Trump, cant recall Trump having a hissy fit about the Supreme Court as I’m sure he would if a decision goes against him.

A question for you Stealthbomber -
Are people you know scared about what is happening? What’s the general consensus of what’s going on?

Why do you say China are less trustworthy than Trump ? You’ve been listening for so long to the incessant anti-China sentiment emanating from the Septic propaganda machine, to the entrenched Australian right-wing plutocrat, capitalist clique and their mouthpiece, the Murdoch media, as well as to the right-wing Lieberal party, that you can no longer see the alternatives. Start with the fact that China is our biggest trading partner and that it’s not Australia they have a problem with, but the Septics - who in fact are the source of our biggest migraine.

Check out the number of Septic bases here - it’s around 12 iirc. Check out the details of the shameful AUKUS agreement, whereby we’re paying billions and billions to our Septic imperial masters for nukilar submarines we don’t need for our defence (as they’re too big to operate effectively on our continental shelf), and which if they ever get into service will be run by the Septics themselves as if they own them, rather than take or dollars in payment.

Check out who, apart from the five or so Australian billionaires, own the biggest share of our industrial wealth, if not Septic “investors.”
I could go on ad nauseam, but no doubt you get the picture…
