    People would trust each other more if people & their so-called leaders were more truthful. Trump is always full of lies - this is always revealed by the 'fact-checker' websites.

    I don't think Biden is the answer, but I am glad Trump has been ditched - getting him and his worthless grifting family out of the White House will be something America will never regret. Hopefully they will all be indicted and sent to Gitmo for life.
    The problem is that Mitch McConnell is still in charge of a Republican senate, which will make it hard for the Democrats to move legislation. McConnell is a slimy dirtbag who needs to go the same way as Trump IMHO.

    On the subject of Biden, One can only hope that he quickly realises his own limitations, and Kamala Harris steps up to the presidency. Looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was reelected which is great news, she is a shining light of American politics and will be great support for Harris.

    Meanwhile back at home, the capo of the LNP Crime Family, the lazy, dull-witted but cunning criminal Scott Morrison will be crying in his beer (that someone else paid for) that his fascist dickhead mentor Trump has been ousted, I look forward to a newly anointed President Harris flipping him off.

    There, that should trigger a few RWFW's.

    RWFW's, classic, I assume this is right wing fuckwits? CNN and the main stream media are not your friend.

    There's no need to worry about Biden realising his limitations, I'll give it six to twelve months max (if even that long) before Biden gets tossed by his party so that we can celebrate the first female "person of colour" (as it's trendy to say now) president of the US.

    Yes, 6-12 months is generous - I think Biden's clearly failing health will force him to step down within 3-6 months, elevating Harris to the presidency. I only hope that they stay resolute and indict Trump and his parasitic, useless family of leeches, then and only then the swamp will certainly have commenced being drained.

    SloMo should indeed be worried.

    It seems you managed to completely ignore my first and second sentence or chose not to address them.

    He won't step down of his own free will unless there's a deal been done.

    Ironically the VP elect is addressing the minions as we speak being shown on the always very balanced ABC news 24 channel and ticking all of the boxes, women in power, racism and climate change, I think she missed LGBTQIXYZLMNOP though.

    I would have thought the President elect would get the first say, apparently not?

    RWFW indeed = Right Wing Fuck Wit

    Ironically CNN were the only ones giving any sort of balance to the coverage of the election, it is Fox News (part of the Murdoch propaganda machine) that spews toxic bullshit for the consumption of RWFW's.

    Depending on what side of left and right people fall seems to determine which news they think is balanced or biased. They hear what they like so they think it's balanced.

    I just want actual balance, something sadly lacking in nearly all media, a business that sells advertising to make rich men richer and will play to whatever audience will further that cause. Don't forget that, like I said they're not your friend.

    I'm also always amused how many of the loving, caring, tolerant and non-violent members of the left (where I assume you sit with the term RWFW's) manage to have so little tolerance for people of opposing views and they're often the perpetrators of rioting, looting, violence etc when they don't get their way.

    And when it ends in shit and Donald Trump says people from both sides are at fault (which is painfully obvious to anyone with even half a brain) the very balanced media then shit can him as supporting or dog whistling to a white supremacist group that ironically has black members.

    The one good thing about Biden being elected and Harris taking over will be we don't have to get bombarded every day with every thing the obviously perfect people in media think they've fucked up for the next four years like we have with Trump. They should get a leave pass on pretty much everything, unless of course you watch the so called right wing media who will probably call them out on some shit.

    Yeah. Maybe her luck’s changed, if anyone deserves a break from Trump, surely she’s earned it.

    And over seventy million Americans (and I expect some intelligent ones) were prepared to give him another go too so I guess the alternative isn't as good in their eyes either.
     
    Unfortunately all politicians and nearly all people lie, can you hand on heart say you have always 100% told the truth, do you think Joe Biden always tells the truth?

    Please post one thing that Trump has said that's racist and please don't let it be wanting to control illegal immigration or protecting the country from possible terrorist attacks. I've heard them a million times, something that's actually racist.

    Do you have proof that he's corrupt (previous post) and a con-artist, I'd love to hear it?

    Don't get me wrong, I personally think he comes across like a dick and have no axe to grind for him either way other than I love that the main stream media hate him. But there's a lot of opinions formed from (usually) biased media reports and you've stated you're not left or right wing and you've made these claims so I'm very curious to hear your answers and/or facts behind them, thanks.

    Between the US election and the Virus , I wonder what else is happening in the world ???

    Who's right , who's wrong, who's a racist , who's not, who's a fuckwit , who's not ,,,, the list goes on... 
    If your right into your politics , good luck to you dissecting and debating all the bullshit at your dinner parties or down the pub etc...Its the same game, just different players.... At the end of the day Australia has to pick a side,, and the US with all its short comings, is far ahead of all the alternatives..

    If you want a scoreboard to checkout how the state of play is going with the new President ,,, just checkout the stockmarket over the next few weeks/months etc.... This is America after all ,,,, Money talks,, bullshit walks .... The only wild card is the virus.... As always,, Buyers beware,, Bet responsibly ....

    Joe and Jill went up the hill...... couldn't resist, I hope Joe keeps the pressure on China and maybe has some sort of plan on how to handle them while he is at it, if he blows it then 4 years from now some other bugga will get a go, if we are still here that is.

    Thankyou for addressing one of my points but if you read the first sentence of my last paragraph you'll know I don't "follow" Trump. I just don't believe everything that the main stream media (who obviously hate him, publicly at least) says or reports.

    Some people just vote on their strongest beliefs, as an example this pregnant lady in the voting cue was asked who she was going to vote for, her answer was the candidate that is pro life, end of story, god fearing folk can be a bit peculiar at the best of times, others vote with the pocket book, truly no president could be all things to all people.

    What will also be interesting to see is if North Korea and the middle east start acting up again once the new leadership team is in place. Trump seems to have made some progress there, like everything time will tell.

    Turnbull and Rudd are on Insiders at the moment, what a pair of tools. I wish ousted PM's in this country would just fuck off out of it (like Turnbull promised he would) and the morons in the media wouldn't keep going to them for opinions. They had their chance, got chucked out and now they're armchair experts.

    I think Joe won’t last long 77 & poor health then Harris takes over , could be a worry!

    I'd be ok with ex PM's being available for consultation to current PM's if asked but I suppose it's one of the prices we pay for the freedoms we do have.
    Rocket man is still making bombs, Putin does as he pleases, the virus has kept most of the misfits busy and the media has focused on it, Trump and China.
    Joe appears to be a right wing authoritarian, thinks he has to restore America's standing on the world stage, could be wrong about him, but the Dems in the past seem to like a good war, hopefully that does not happen this time around.

    Sure, Joe has had some gaffs - we all do.
    His age gives him all the experience, I think he will surprise many in a very positive way. The guy is genuine, Trump is like a deceitful 10 year old boy that doesn't like losing.

    I agree it’s a real concern. I’m wondering if China will test Bidens resolve by pushing their South China Sea claims and marching into Taiwan.

    As a side note, how come when I only quote the last post from GM that two other posts get included as well?  Makes it all rather lengthy and partially irrelevant.
