Amen

Throwing the full burden of climate change, and the host of other disabling innovations invented by the rich, impacting onto the poor, encourages the poor to rally with their armada of grievances behind Donald Trump or Hitler, or any other candidate who will listen, even for a moment, to their cries!

I say, suck eggs!

What shall it benefit a man if he should gain the entire world and lose his immortal soul. Nothing except if he hasn't one to lose, or already lost in beggar's bargain with the devil? And they, I Believe, self identify as haters and rail insanely against minorities or difference!

Republicans are not poor men but able to collect millions in private election endorsements and or party funds from powerful friends. consequently, America has the best democracy that corporate America and money can buy!

Most of these folk come from christian communities, families and very few are changed into beter more moral people when serving. President Nixon of Watergate fame being exposed as arguably the most duplicitous corrupt example, we would now read about in history books.

President Trump's moral are unquestionable, he doesn't have any! But would own the entire world if that were possible, and given his rep as a deal maker may well achieve that objective while he lives? Or later when he's moldering? Once he owns it all how can get more?

Me? I'd spit in his porridge and ask, MORE?

It surely is a sad commentary commentary commentary on life that we'd need another world war for them to find they one they haven't seen much of since Abe Lincoln! Or even a fair dinkum measure of Righteous, right minded, moral, human decency?

From the article.

"Any political party or president that does not lead the country in this direction is not fit to be in power."

On the one hand I'm suprised how often I see articles about the US on OLO. But looking past that, I do not like the focus of bitter rebellion I've been seeing. For at least three presidents in a row there has been a growing tension against the president in office by a sizable population and media that supports that aggression.

The aggression against Trump and the narrative to ignore any successes he's held, make me question this article and many articles like it. It's nothing more then aggression fueled propaganda. It's bad enough that the US has a to be split by this kind of agrees ion that is tearing the nation apart. Don't let yourselves follow in the same suit tearing each other apart over a a president that isn't part of your nation.

Republicans....Democrats....and neither could give a ff about Australia much less know where it is.
Ostralians should admit that they secretly admire and identify with the redneck Yanks despite their puff and bluster while claiming self determination.
Given half a chance they'd sign up with Trump in a heartbeat whilst feigning resistance, Ooooh No! what about our heritage!
Then there's the fact that there would be a mass migration of the Afro 'merican to the white sandy shores which would frighten any residual colour out of the jingo purists (hex hex +++++ perish the thought) should Australia be included into the US.
Fear not! Why buy that which is already possessed?

You're right that neither Republican nor Democrat parties are really concerned about Australia. Both focus on domestic issues first, then when moving to international affairs much of it is about the places that have ongoing conflict or on the verge of going to war with the US. I assume most nations have simular party lines that first focus on their nation, then go to concerns about nations that require military action or military preparation.

I don't see the US anytime soon trying to gain Australiaas it's own land. That said I think Americans and Amerucan leaders see Australia as an ally or at least a friendly nation to themselves. And so they do care about that and about Australia in general.

NNS,
Let's see how friendly if we were to say no to opportunistic military interventionism or is this friendship based on how Australia votes at the UN.
Australia has no conviction and abstains at best or goes along with the US.
Australia...champion of the underdog?....once!.....not for a long time

I'll admit, I don't know how congress or the president view Australia. But it is a place that (at least in my area) there's a trust and/or fanicanation towards Australia, and Australian people. Either because of family and friends that are from there, or because of what they hear from tourists visiting. It's based on that cultural outlook on Australia more so then political outlook that I say American view Australians in a friendly way.

That said. As to your point of voting against military interventions from the US. I think the UN is losing respect from many of the American people. Don't know if it's a majority or not, but if there was a vote to stop the US from (let's say have military action against North Korea) then I think people would say, bugger off. Same with helping and recoginizing Israel. On any other military issue it's a toss up on how many would support the UN's vote.

Their vote on Israel's capital for instance leaves much to be questioned on the UN as a whole.
