Well, in 1987, we (Australia) rejected his application for a casino licence because it was more than clear, very obvious in fact, Trump was owned by the mob. That's not nothing. His bid failed "on the grounds of sound repute, probity and integrity". And now, the US see fit to give him a country.
Comments
Again, if this is true, Australia is NOT one of our real allies.
For starters.
One of our conservative politicians, was the the guy who spilled on George dipshit, talking about the help russia was giving trump.
And of course they wiped that away, said he took money from the Clinton's.
We've tried to help you dumb pricks.
This is your problem mate

The Apprentice TV show was his PR moment to promote a different image. We can thank Burnett & NBC Y’all‼️

BUT ...
Your boy Murdoch is arguably the single most destructive force in the US today, and has been for almost 40 years
No Murdoch, no Fox News ... no Trump
Thanks
Bob's NOT your uncle
Your comment was right on and yes, AU got it right on this fucker
Just pointing out the terrible effect of one Australian on our politics. Unfair? I don't think so, but OK
Not blaming you for that any more than it'd be appropriate to blame me for Trump
He came on here talking about how Australia got it right on Trump. They did. No argument
But any Australian who wants to comment like that needs to be reminded about Murdoch, one of their own
It's not this guy's fault
Just noting a historical fact
Also yes, Murdoch is a prick.
Didn't mean it that way
That's it, right there
(leaving a few out for brevity, such as YOU, Gym Jordan)
Like WWI>German angst about the Armistice>Blame Jews>Hitler>WWII>Holocaust>60M dead in WWII
Everything is connected
If shared truth still existed, Trump would never be President & we'd band together to stop him.
But weaponized disinformation has left a large portion of the US population ignorant of the threat we all face.
244m eligible voters
77m gop 31%
74m dems 30%
3m 3rd party 1%
90m didn’t vote 37%
Also, Elon probably hacked this last election. No way does trump take all of the swing states in a vote where he didn’t win 70% or more of the popular vote.
But don't forget that Hillary won the popular vote by 3 Mil, despite colossal double hysterical GOP/FOX/Kremlin propaganda and lies, Comey bomb 10 days prior to election, and Bernie Bros vellifying Hillary along with MAGA.
2024 - RIGGED AFFF
of this country is racist and uneducated. In addition, turnout for our elections is abysmal because millions are either lazy or just disillusioned with the whole government. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Media destroyed, like totally destroyed, peeps' ability to reason. Maga Americans are addicted to the rush of cortisol fear, hate provides &, thus, choose to live in ignorance bc, unlike fact & truth, it keeps the emo coming.
Yes sexism and racism resulted in people voting against their own interests.
But we don’t give in. We don’t retreat and we cannot take on a defeatist attitude.
"I's not the votes. It's who counts them".
Dems. Did NOT. Count. The votes.
In FL and TX the independent monitors from DoJ were not even let in.
In 2016 Elect. was rigged in 3 states that voted D for decades prior to 2016 -PA, MI, WI to barely get him enough electoral votes. By 2020 he was twice impeached, twice the loser of popular vote in history of the USA.
Election 2024 was rigged AF in all swing states D before/in 2020.
That's about 30% of voters.
About 22% of the total population.
A lot of people didn't pay enough attention to really know what they were voting for. I think we were too comfortable as a society and beleived that America was safe from something like this.
Obviously we're not.
This constant refrain of "i didn't vote for him!" is not helpful. Do you think the people who DID vote for him are going to claim responsibility?
30% don't even vote because they feel it's pointless in our system.
And our primary system is even more hogwash. Every state has different rules/day of voting/eligible voters/candidates.
But now, not even a choice.
We had no real voice in this ever.
And sure. Blame us. But the average voter isn't going to change the constitution. That's beyond difficult to do and is seldom done.
Georgia (the country) has been protesting for over a month.
France held massive protests against their Nazi candidate when she was caught doing Nazi shit.
Ukraine has been fighting a goddamn war against Putin rather than accept his puppet president.
Outside government buildings. State captitols. Even at our National Parks.
There are protests on goods and services that supported this mess.
The phone lines to congress are buzzing with calls (mine are some of them).
Why your country is so apathetic about voting is beyond me.
I'm pretty pissed off with America as a whole.
