If you want to make US elections free from bibery... Well, you can't! That's the way it's always been.
If you REALLY want to make US elections free from bribery... spend some money on education!
An uneducated electorate will vote for billionaires every time!

Wow, that was a brilliant response?
Did Trump approve that message?
I'm in awe of this new-found imaginary US power.

Are these police, ICE agents, Special Forces, Army, or the people sworn to defending the American Constitution?

American news/commentary/podcasts/ humour is so disgusting, I just can't listen anymore!

Does "at a price" mean Britain can't afford it, so we'll ask the Chinese to lend us the money so THEY can build it?

If only Australia wasn't so big?
I've been to Netherlands and can see why roads, electricity transmission, national infrastructure, might be cheaper and more efficient there than Australia?

Normal US politics.

I don't see why not? If a majority of politicians vote that way.
You know this is never ever going to happen, don't you?
Nice idea though.

Love the poem!
But this genocide is about keeping Netanyahu out of prison?
Just like Putin's war on civilians is about keeping him safe from his army?
Like Trump is deporting refugees to concentration camps to counter claims of weakness?

So it goes to Trump's friends in SCOTUS?
For all those good Americans jumping up and down, claiming a win at last, don't get your hopes up!
The system is rigged.

Reading the history of Empress Wu, I learn that the Chinese court sat on mats before the ascendence of the Indian Buddhist establishment, then they sat on low chairs.
Totally irrelevant?
Tudor beds were not only valuable but also symbols of dynastic power?

Just one.
If America is so proud of that Constitutional Amendment - you know, the one about the right of a well-organised militia to bear arms, to protect democracy - then why is Trump still in power?

Who could have guessed American money was influencing our elections and perceptions of racism?

It's what Queenslanders voted for?
Well, the ones in the bush?

Do we really need another populist movement "to fill the void"? Jeez!
Why can't we first fix the parties we have, hold them to their promises and manifestos, abolish the House of Lords (save a billion?), and, in the digital age, demand a realistic democracy?
Make it work!

A '60's child too... remembering protests.
A lot has changed?
No-one not immediately affected by war and corruption seems to care any more - other than possibly donate a few dollars to a charitable cause? I mean, how to change the world when corporations and billionaires are trying to destroy it?

I suggest all Australian Police Forces recognise the misogynistic failed youth they are currently actively recruiting will empower the Sergeants who some of us think might be.. a lilttle bit?... corrupt!

This is what happens when the last employment resort for bullies whom failed at school is the Queensland Police?
Mind you, given LNP policies, it's not a job I'd like to do?

I saw a beautiful butterfly today, hover over a brilliant red hibiscus flower, then fly away.
And I spent the next hour wondering why he or she did that?
Wasn't the hibiscus beautiful enough? Or the butterfly not hungry? Who knows what happens in the real world?

Is that Holley clip a quote from Red Dwarf?
Do you think current Qld govt. ministers watch old episodes of Red Dwarf?
If not, they bloody should!
I'd so love to see the crew replace this cabinet!

Does anyone in Texas take any notice of the Ten Commandments?
More Texans follow the oil price, bitcoin and Trump?
Then retire to Florida.

It's the judicial system that should be of most concern?
When you've got a system like America, on the face of it democratic, where judges are elected and Scotus appointed by the Presiddent - then, in this century, corruption is the rule?

Why isn't this post getting heaps of likes, even comments?
Is it because Americans are so ashamed?
I get that.
Like Brexit, Aukus, it's always hard to admit you've been conned.

Thankyou for the information! I shall read it carefully before further comment.
(But at first glance it looks pretty bad for the Bronze Age?)

Why is Penn State polling Israelis in Israel about Gaza?
Who paid for this?
Did Penn State have IDF approval?
I can't imagine such a survey would be possible without Trump's approval (for fear of retribution) or IDF for armed access? Can anyone believe such propaganda?

Can we just do the science and not worry too much about insurance premiums in the US, the people whose disdain of climate studies caused much of this problem?

Is the NAS still a thing?
I'd keep quiet about the zebra fish connection?

I prefer the Old Testament!
The Bronze-Age history. Before Jews got Russian names. When you were not allowed to kill pigs, sleep with.. ok, that might be alright?, eat fish on Fridays (or is that NT?), and slaughter all your enemies! That bit is still working?

For some Americans, for most Americans, Reality TV is now much better than realty?

Why am I not surprised that penguin poop has a significant role in Antarctic ecology?
Am I surprised that humans, cows, pigs and chickens have an even more significant role in the ecology, lobster, crab and oyster beds of the East Coast USA?

Please, when referring to kid's cereals, specify that you are referring to US statistics and not kids, or cereals, in general?
Americans do this all the time! Assume American studies apply to everyone? It's so not true!
Europeans won't eat American meat, Africa doesn't like American GM corn!
