Trump stopped wars brings troops home! keeps sweet with Oz, record unemployment (pre covid) for all races, reins in China, peace in the middle east, operation warp speed fastest vaccine ever for any virus including this Chinese one, my perception is as crazy as he is, he has done a lot of good.

Interestingly Trump is allowing 'some' transition activities to take place, not really a declaration of a win is it

umm Trump has done little to support us, in fact he put tariffs on us, not much better than the Chinese.

Just digressing a bit, the Democrats seem to have got America involved in most of their wars whereas here it is the opposite side of politics that get us involved in wars and Labor brings them home

Trump stopped wars brings troops home! - they were tired and done by the time he got there, lucky timing but props for not inflaming

Keeps sweet with Oz - not entirely, but hardly a challenge

Record unemployment (pre covid) - again the hard yards were done

peace in the middle east - seriously going to give Trump that?

operation warp speed fastest vaccine ever - not here yet and he had nothing to do with it, its a global effort


But yeah, Trump would claim it was all him.

Do we want to start on what his stuffed up? Most of it he inherited but he hasnt made anything worth while any better, the country is the worst its ever been. He may of not instigated it all, but his opened the wounds and thrown salt in. It takes diplomacy to control chaos.

Oh let me guess, he will also claim record economic growth rates post covid too?

I think you are getting yourself confused here. Please bear in mind that mail in ballots weren't instantly counted the moment the Judge made the decision.

Trump petitions court -> Mail in ballots are put to one side whilst the rest of the votes are counted

Trump cases get thrown out (during the day)-> Mail in ballots are counted, finishing at 4AM.

Quote:
try harder next time
I'm as critical as the next guy and I have no horse in this race, but it's very important you realize that what the Trump campaign is saying in the press is completely different to what they are actually putting before the courts.

For example, here's the ruling a Republican Judge made in Pennsylvania:

https://assets.documentcloud.org/doc...5174406541.pdf

No mention of voting machines being rigged, voter fraud, 'dead' people voting or anything like that. That case revolves around *2* mail in votes that were declared invalid because they didn't follow the correct procedure. From there, the Trump team is trying to extrapolate that ALL mail in votes should be declared invalid because *2* people didn't get the chance to amend their faulty ballots.

The Judge points out that he's not in a position to disenfranchise nearly 7M voters because 2 people didn't fill out a form correctly. Also any court case has to prove jurisdiction first, that this is the right court for this case to be tried. The judge points out that he literally doesn't have the power to remove 7M votes, hence it was dismissed.

It's not a conspiracy, just read the court documents. That's where the 'facts' are. It's the same reason why they've distanced themselves from Sidney Powell. There was no way they could prove *in court* what she was saying was true.

Obama (by your inference) did the 'hard yards'? Yeah, maybe with his husband Big Mike.

Trump's employment/economic victories are Trump's alone, not the groundwork of Obama, the worst president ever...

You may want to sharpen your quoting skills, I feel dirty your comments and reply are within mine.

Reset is way over due (if we are talking about a proper recession), and why would I care about how someone wants to control me in a country I dont live in.

If only Trump supporters were so passionate about their local councils and governments...actually no, best to keep yelling at the TV and educating your mates in the union so you can all stick it to the man.

-pathetic answer. How so, Australia and US relations have never really been an issue and good to see ScoMo finally distance himself, ScoMo shoudl have done it ages ago.

Record unemployment (pre covid) - again the hard yards were done
-says you lol? And you?

peace in the middle east - seriously going to give Trump that?
-how was good old barry + slow joe going with it? No idea what you are going on about, Trump is not a diplomat

operation warp speed fastest vaccine ever - not here yet and he had nothing to do with it, its a global effort

- yes he did, started in January - he was on it very early - slow joe argued he shouldnt stop flights from china when he did - started what? Border closures, is that your vaccine? FFS...every country closed borders once it was generally understood what was going on, the US just happened to be one of the first to cop it...still not sure what that has to do with the vaccine. Of those claiming they are near a release what does Trump have to do with them?


But yeah, Trump would claim it was all him.

- the country like EVERY country is in a pandemic - derrr - again what? Does everyone forget the other 3 years he was in office? Naturally Trump is not to blame for CV19, but he did nothing to help his country and unite it...how is that detergent going? Remember it was all going to just float away ina month or so? masks? frickening anything and it is still a shambles..but his all over it yeah?

Oh let me guess, he will also claim record economic growth rates post covid too?

as a long term member you know that it is against the sites T&C's to talk about Australian politics - so that is why people are getting into the yankee election

Nothing would give me greater enjoyment than to talk about Aussie politics here but I fear the hand of god (aka RussellW)

have you forgotten that infamous phone call between the Trump-miester and Turnbull

relationships between Aussie and USA have never been better hahahahahaha

I see SCoMo has told USA and China to settle down, which is interesting coz he inflamed the relationship at the start of the serious COVID
