mhaze,

You're demanding evidence for a claim I never made - because it's easier than addressing the one I did.

I never said senior Democrats diagnosed Biden with dementia before the debate. I said many acknowledged concerns about his age and capacity, and that those conversations were allowed to happen within Democratic circles and the media - unlike in MAGA circles, where even raising concerns about Trump is treated as disloyalty.

You’ve now moved the goalposts to finding a Democrat who said the word ‘dementia’ before the debate. That was never the claim. You’re just shifting the bar to dodge the point I made - and supported with examples.

As for the Goldwater Rule: again, you’re misrepresenting it. It bars formal diagnoses from psychiatrists without direct examination - not all public comment or concern. Dr Zoffmann did not offer a diagnosis. She said his behaviour was consistent with a known condition and that further assessment would be appropriate. That’s both cautious and ethical - and again, she’s Canadian. The APA’s rules don’t apply to her.

You also haven’t addressed the fact that countless unqualified commentators “diagnosed” Biden for years, often in much stronger terms - and no one on your side raised ethical concerns about that.

So far, you’ve:

-Rewritten my argument,
-Misrepresented professional standards,
-Moved the goalposts mid-discussion, and
-Still not refuted a single point I raised about Trump’s behaviour.

You're not arguing the facts. You're policing what people are allowed to say about someone you unwaveringly support.

The obsession of some Australians with Donald Trump, when the man is American, elected by Americans, doing what is best for America, is pathetic and old womanish.

Even Andrew Bolt has caught the Anti-Trump disease.

President Trump is not interested in you; he is not even interested in talking to our silly little Prime Minister.

Albanese and Dutton are our problems. Neither of whom can hold a candle to Donald Trump.

The performances of these two clowns during the current election campaign have removed any doubt that Australia's biggest enemies don't live in America or China: they live in Canberra.

“ Australia's biggest enemies don't live in America or China: they live in Canberra”

Congratulations old son, you finally got there.

Don’t vote: Self respect and personal dignity preclude you from participating in the destruction of the Australian way, dead and gone!

See if you disagree with this:

With The school holidays upon us, lets look at young Donald's report card for the first semester.

Economics FAILED
Geography FAILED
History FAILED
Human Relations FAILED
Every Thing Else FAILED

Dear Parent,

Your son Donald is a bully and a brat, the type of child I do not want in my classroom! Donald has no aptitude for learning what so ever, he's a criminal, and should be locked up, not in school. I dread the first day back next term, Donald will be in my class once more, I beg you please, keep the little rat at home! My life depends upon it!

Parent teacher interviews are in the first week back, don't come, don't bring Donald, stay home, my nerves could not stand an extra five minutes with Donald.

Kind Regards
Teacher.

Australia seeks stabilisation with China; China seeks to DEstabilise Australia with its malign intimidatory tactics, and will have the upper hand until Australia pushes back.

China’s aggression and bullying against its neighbours (and Australia) has increased in recent times, and all our “leader” has done is wish it didn’t happen!

China has told the US that it cannot stop them from establishing a sphere of influence in our area; and people who are not aware of this will also be unaware that the US made NO COMMENT at all to the threat. Why would they when Australia just ‘wished China wouldn't bully us’ and left it at that!

One commentator has written that the prospect of a Chinese standing military presence in our region (the Cook Islands are the latest tinpot bit of land available for a base to cave in to the Communists) is ‘haunting’ our defence planners. Really? It certainly doesn't seem to be haunting our “leader” and the bloke posing as defence minister - the one who believes that the desire of Russia to establish an air base 1400kms from Darwin is a lie because one of the BRICS told him so.

China has the Albanese government caught like rabbits in a spotlight; and there is no feeling that a Labor-lite Dutton government would be any different.

Australia is in big trouble. But too many people want to rubbish Donald Trump, the only hope for Australia. Idiots!

What makes you believe China would even need to fire a shot; the place is a Communist rag tag already.
And for a view of the what if, look at the plight Trump has left Israel in. Trump whims it out globally. You’re right on that one.
Trump has nil interest in anything further afield than the US perifery
.
We should in my view, be playing the Chinese game by allowing them in to bump around a few of the US assets.
Once the US Kings of greed feel their assets are threatened, the US will come running.
