    I don't think we can ever expect not to marketed at to tell us what to think. Disguising it as news has kind of wrecked the old style communication channels though. The way to fix that is via the people not accepting any sort of bias from any news source though. Instead of us all gravitating the sources that play to our interests. :\


    And yeah, FFS please pick someone sensible. The whole problem started when Dems picked the worst possible easy option with Biden the first time imho. That was the moment for them to find another JFK or Bill Clinton style candidate who could make changes, like Trump is able to be seen as doing.
    Yes we can, it's called journalism. I want the facts and the good/bad about each side of an argument and to make my decision based off that. The American public has pretty much shunned the legacy media because they can't be trusted to tell the truth.


    Maybe you give them credit to do so but many on that side of the aisle are still pushing DEI etc even though it has been rejected my most Americans. Do they have the capability to look in the mirror, learn from their mistakes and read the room correctly? Their top future candidates stand for everything that the country rejected in November and I do not see that changing anytime soon.

      But hasn't Hunter pretty much admitted it was his now? Does anyone involved still question if it is his?



      So, did the letter come out after it was "known" like JT said or not? I don't know.
      He hasn't denied the laptop was his.

      But that doesn't mean that he is responsible for everything found on it years later!

          Yet another woke clown goes down in favor of a common sense conservative.

          Across the globe the woke virus is getting washed away and it is glorious to see!!
          Not often in this world many Americans know the PMs name, let alone the opposition leaders!

          I do think Dutton and the Liberals will win next time, but it really isn't the slam dunk Aussie media is trying to portray it as. Murdoch has a stranglehold on more than half the media here and another active conservative now has control of a lot of the rest. Unfortunately our major outlets are pretty much all about political manipulation. For instance, every single day for months the Sydney Telegraph shouts about antisemitism like it's a massive issue and happening constantly. But its not much more than a few hateful fools targeting one suburb with spray paint and meth addictions. Anyway, you need to view a lot of stories out of the Aussie media with a pinch of salt sadly.

            I do not know much about Aussie politics but the little I know about Dutton and Albanese along with the trend going on around the world, it seems that Albanese's days are numbered.

            I am going to see if any offshore books have odds on Aussie politics as I would bet on Dutton.

                  Sacking DOJ investigators and FBI agents for doing the work assigned to them is pure banana republic abuse of power.

                    Thank you, -163 is not bad odds for Dutton as I think he is far more likely than that to win.

                      Better odds than that around. Found 1.72+ for Coalition with little effort.

                      Still poor value imho.

                      Don't underestimate the independents' chance of taking seats away from the Libs/Nats.

                        If you are talking about, how many votes Trump won by as most Americans. It was not even a majority of voting Americans. 49.8% and voter turnout was only 63.9%
                        Thats just the voting public, there is another 200 million or so that are not.
                        Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president.

                        Kamala Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes cast.

                        In relative terms, voter turnout nationally in 2024 was 63.9 percent.

                        In terms of the popular vote, more people voted for someone not named Trump for president than voted for Trump in 2024.

                        Early election coverage described Trump’s victory as a landslide. But whether you go by the Electoral College vote or the popular vote, it was anything but. The 312 Electoral College votes that Trump won are just six more than Joe Biden won in 2020, twenty less than Barack Obama won in 2012, and fifty-three less than Obama won in 2008. Trump’s Electoral College performance pales in comparison to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s landslide victory in 1936 (523 electoral votes), Lyndon Johnson’s in 1964 (486), Richard Nixon’s in 1972 (520), or Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 (525). In terms of the popular vote, more people voted for someone not named Trump for president than voted for Trump in 2024, and his margin of victory over Harris was 1.5 percentage points. That is the fifth smallest margin of victory in the thirty-two presidential races held since 1900.

                          And less people voted for the dem candidate than Trump. Sugarcoating your loss will not change it.

                            Yesterday, acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove indicated a NY sheriff is under investigation for ignoring a federal warrant for a criminal illegal who reentered the country 5 times.

                                        And the reason the powers that be in the party said Joe you gotta go is because they thought he had a great chance to beat Trump after the the country witnessed his “stellar” debate ?

                                            I know you were replying to the most Americans part.
                                            Technically that is correct, but the fact remains that more Americans voted for Trump than the Democratic candidate.

                                            The majority of Americans who vote Republican or Democrat, rejected the liberal polices that the Democratic Party has become. Is that worded better for you?

                                                  Thats just the voting public, there is another 200 million or so that are not.
                                                  Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president.

                                                  Kamala Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes cast.

                                                  In relative terms, voter turnout nationally in 2024 was 63.9 percent.

                                                  In terms of the popular vote, more people voted for someone not named Trump for president than voted for Trump in 2024.

                                                  Early election coverage described Trump’s victory as a landslide. But whether you go by the Electoral College vote or the popular vote, it was anything but. The 312 Electoral College votes that Trump won are just six more than Joe Biden won in 2020, twenty less than Barack Obama won in 2012, and fifty-three less than Obama won in 2008. Trump’s Electoral College performance pales in comparison to Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s landslide victory in 1936 (523 electoral votes), Lyndon Johnson’s in 1964 (486), Richard Nixon’s in 1972 (520), or Ronald Reagan’s in 1984 (525). In terms of the popular vote, more people voted for someone not named Trump for president than voted for Trump in 2024, and his margin of victory over Harris was 1.5 percentage points. That is the fifth smallest margin of victory in the thirty-two presidential races held since 1900.
                                                  I was talking about DEI...you think 50% of the country is down with that and the whole woke experiment?

                                                  Surely even you would want the best of the best in the military, police and fire departments, no?

                                                  I couldn't care less about DEI in private companies(unless they deal with public safety), that is their death wish. When it comes to public safety and national security, don't you want the best person for the job regardless of color?

                                                    Is Mr. jackpot's stance that he believes men should be competing against women?

                                                          Yes, just like in 2020 it was the other way around. Damn, you laugh as much as Kamletoe. Still most Americans did not vote for Trump, it is a lie.

                                                            You should not be denied because of it either. What if you have 20 people (10 white males/10 other) that have basically the resume for 3 jobs?

                                                            I would never be for men, in women sports.

                                                            I miss read your post Jake. I didn't realize you were only talking about DEI.

                                                                I would never be for men, in women sports.

                                                                I miss read your post Jake. I didn't realize you were only talking about DEI.

                                                                How would anyone be denied due to DEI if one is taking the best qualified? In theory, that should be a colorblind endeavor if you are going strictly on qualifications, no?
