The Power of Reason Down Under
It is truly amazing to watch Sky News in Australia and to see & hear so much logic & reason, which the American media lacks. Sky News host Andrew Bolt simply states the obvious from the perspective of an outsider looking in. He wonders how President Trump can be so far behind in polls when there is so much enthusiasm for him. He says what is clearly true about the potential for violence - it is clearly more likely if Trump wins and - it is clearly more likely to come from the left.
We may take it for granted, but I doubt we will ever see such awe inspiring devotion to a political candidate as we have seen from those who have come out for Donald Trump. The repulsive leftist Michael Moore stumbled on to it when he said "every beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump." Those working stiff's also love their families and America. The same America the left wants to burn down.
In Arizona there was a massive car rally for the President. In Hickory Regional Airport in Hickory, NC, massive lines formed to hear the President speak.
Meanwhile democrats are nervous about the early voting in Florida (a state that counts ballots before election day)
https://nationalfile.com/democrats-panic-over-miami-dade-voter-turnout-after-gop-ahead-in-early-voting/
Will this be the end of polling as we know it?
Will PA (which has no postmark requirements for late ballots) become the site of a major theft?
Will the nation face a new level of violence the day after the election?
Has reality already struck?
I leave you with the words of one of America's greatest Presidents:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”...Ronald Reagan
Make sure you vote!
Everyone in America knows Donald Trump is a liar , crook, and cheat. Everyone knows it, other than the slugs we see on Trump rally videos that appear to have the IQ of a sack of potatoes.
But most Trump supporters know he is a pathological liar , lifelong crook, and a cheater. Yet they will vote for him anyway, and some quite proudly.
The country has to resolve this issue, one way or another. What the hell is wrong with these Trump suporters?
It is not "nothing", the fact that they have a complete disregard for truth, it is "something".
"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing or all the other.".... Abraham Lincoln
True today as it was then. We cannot co-exist.
You've just described many politicians. Many of whom you have voted for.
How do you justify THAT in your head John?
Over the last four years there have been literally thousands of articles, and dozens of books, demonstrating that Trump is unfit to hold elected office.
Trump supporters almost never address the reality of any particular situation, they just ignore the mountains of evidence that Trump is corrupt and pathologically dishonest, and thus unfit, and they instead fall back on the idea that "all" politicians are like that.
If its true that all politicians are like that why is it only Trump who has had thousands of articles in reputable newspapers and magazines stating that he is unfit for office?
The truth is that Trump supporters have cynically decided not to care what kind of scumbag trump is because they think this is how they "own the libs". It's a tragedy for this country.
There are top military leaders who have said Trump is unfit to hold the office of president.
There are former members of his own cabinet for god's sake who say he is unfit to hold the office of president.
There are dozens of former federal prosecutors who wrote a public letter saying he is unfit to hold office.
NONE of these people said so because they are Democrats. NONE.
What do you have to have, a brick building fall on your head in order to wake up to reality ?
Your opinion and the truth are parallel lines John.
Which by definition will never intersect.
There are top military leaders who have said Trump IS fit to hold the office of president.
There are former members of his own cabinet for god's sake who say he IS fit to hold the office of president.
Horseshit. None? The Lincoln project for example is full of "Republicans" right? Problem is most are all never Trumpers and complete RINO's. No Dems my ass.
Another set of parallel lines. Reality and your opinion of reality. No intercept forthcoming ....
no, they said it because they are globalists... who are having their asses kicked
My advice to you is don't join a debating club.
1. The people known as "never Trumpers" are not the former members of his cabinet, the former military leaders that have spoken out against trump, or the list of former federal prosecutors.
2. and most importantly, the fact that some members of trump's cabinet have not called him unfit DOES NOT mitigate the importance of the one's who have called him unfit.
ALL of his cabinet members should be willing to say he is a good president and worthy of re-election. BOTH his Secretary of Defense (Mattis) and his Secretary of State (Tillerson) have said he is unfit for office based on their experience with him. Tillerson famously called Trump a moron.
Find me one other example of a Secretary of State calling his president a moron DURING his term on the cabinet.
Trump supporters deny reality to the detriment of the country. That is the sad fact.
My advice to you is get with current events.
Learn what a RINO is.
Learn what a never Trumper is.
Learn how many current and former cabinets members, high ranking military members, Senators, Reps, Americans support Trump
You'll keep losing this debate badly until such time you inform yourself appropriately to the real facts.
Not to mention you will probably lose the POTUS election ...... again.
Again, ALL of the cabinet members and high military leaders should be willing to say the president is fit for office , not just some of them. I guess you don't get it.
all of them are globalists john... they are also against our energy independence.
the "central planners" can't have/allow an energy independent - sovereign usa.
they want the usa to kneel, and that ain't gonna happen
Again, all of them don't.
I guess you just don't get it.
coming to grips with the factions that exist in our supposed "two party system is not easy for some to understand.
We've got a good share of crazy left wing propaganda pushing kooks here on NT.
Five articles a day is a very dedicated kooky if nothing else though .....
they actually believe they can change someone's mind... LOL
always a good laugh
Everyone knew who and what Donald Trump was before the 2016 election. Democrats have spent four years telling people what they already knew.
Yes, the country does need to resolve this issue but the Democratic Party refuses to go away. Have you considered that a vote for Trump is a vote against the Democratic Party? The Democratic Party not only chooses to ignore half the country; the Democratic Party deliberately punishes half the country.
Democrats refuse to listen. Democrats have planted their holier-than-thou heads up their back hole. Democrats don't give a great brown splat about the United States. Democrats biggest concern is what's in it for them.
There are far worse things than Donald Trump. And Democrats have been promising to do those worse things.
Did you know that a lot (some) (many) Trump supporters are crackpots ?
Ah yes, the Hillary "deplorable" gambit.
Keep at it John ..... knock your candidate and yourself out.
Perfect!
People who are psychologically, intelligence wise ,and morally , unfit for office should not be in office. It is an incredibly bad example to the country, and of course their narcissism, corruption and stupidity can do great damage.
You made a mistake in 2016. Now is the day to correct that mistake and move the country on.
I'm not going to stand here and say every trump supporter is a good person. A lot of them are dregs. If they weren't they wouldn't be supporting a serial liar and crook to run this country for four more years.
Actually you smeared all 62 Million of them.
Your words:
"Everyone knows it, other than the slugs we see on Trump rally videos that appear to have the IQ of a sack of potatoes."
Yeah. And there are a lot of crackpots supporting (and advising) Joe Biden.
Stating the obvious isn't newsworthy.
I did not vote for Trump in 2016. But Democrats nominated someone worse than Trump.
Democrats have repeated what they did in 2016. There isn't a 'good' choice on the ballot for 2020, either. Joe Biden isn't any different than Hillary Clinton.
If Trump pulls out a win, there will be protests and riots because Democrats will refuse to accept the election. If Biden wins there will be protests and riots to force Biden into giving them everything they want.
Democrats are going to be protesting and rioting for the foreseeable future no matter who wins the election. Time for the Democratic Party to go.
And did you know that same thing can be said for virtually any group of people in the US--including Democrats?
naw--probably never even occurred to you!
No Texan, once again you are wrong.
Actually the sack of potatoes line wasnt referring to all Trump supporters, as a more careful reading of my comment would reveal to you.
You didn't say some in that quote.
Your anti Trump rhetoric here is a clear and constantly present indicator of just how bad the butt-hurt still is from 2016.
No one expects any different from you John
You are completely free to ignore facts and reality, JR, but please don't expect anyone else to join you in La La Land.
Vic, this is exactly what I said. I'll leave it to the viewers of this seed to decide.
We have a member that lives down under. I would trust her word on what is going on over there.
I know, a distinction that a biased mind could never make or understand.
One persons word is an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
A viable opinion from the source.
I lived in australia for 4yrs still keep in touch.
besides the hate, the trump love is strong down under as well.
Watch out, Sparty will say that is just an opinion, nothing more....
I know who you are probably talking about and i agree but it is still just one persons opinion.
Which should be considered accordingly.
Wow, always have to go negative don't you folks.
I was just stating a simple fact. You don't like it?
Too bad, it's still a fact.
How was that negative? Just pointing out how a person I used as a reference was called just an opinion. I think it would be prudent to hold the standard...
it is.... and nothing more.
so what?
To our readers:
Note the way hard working decent Americans have been characterized (smeared).
Don't like it?
Get out there and vote - against them!
ya think they will vote to end our newly found energy independence?
and the millions of jobs that go with it? not likely.
trump -vs- O-biden
working people do not vote for higher gas prices
God that was awful. A real economic crusher for most of the US.
Incidentally in my neck of the woods we are about 30 cents a gallon lower that that right now
1.60 here
I think it may have given Donald Trump the final push he needs - Pennsylvania!
The nail in the Biden campaign's coffin.
You know what, it is here also, about 1.90. Michigan is a high gas tax state. About 40 cents a gallon last i checked
I buy Diesel now at about 2.10 so haven't bought gas since this summer
Fact check: Expectation of high gas prices with Biden win ...
Oct 15, 2020 · According to a report by CNN, the average price of gas was $2.40 when Obama left office. The national gas price average as of Wednesday is $2.18, according to …
CNN? LMAO
those low prices were in spite of obama not because obama.
as biden and harris plan to end fossil fuels? a whole nother kettle of fish
LOL. Now THAT is funny.
I thought so also at the time.., and still do.
but I guess you are going to try and tell me obama opened federal leases for drilling?
energy independence.... that was all trump - not obama.
This election is a referendum on progressives. They are unfit to govern, educate or censor us.
They want to burn down the country, the Constitution and all it's values.
Get out there and vote - against them!
Yep, spot on in all cases.
This just in:
CBS now reporting that President Trump will win if he gets a good turnout on Election Day!
https:// cbsn.ws/35XqKZQ
Again I ask - Has reality already struck?
The latest Trump rally numbers are absolutely sensational.
From 20% to 54% of attendees at the latest Trump rallies are NOT Republican.
The Gateway Pundit is possibly the most discredited "news" source on the internet. Only Infowars has a worse reputation.
cnn and the nyt have been peddling conspiracy bs for yrs and you seeded all of it... LOL
Mr. Bolt is a conservative talk show host so his take on this is not unexpected.
A better understanding of how Australia feels about Trump is in this article, one of many with the same opinon in Australia.
Regardless of what you consider him - the logic is undeniable. Some said it back in 2016 - if those people at the rallies voted, the dems would be in a lot of trouble.
Are you really going to tell us that there isn't widespread enthusiasm for the President?
My response was to Australia's feeling for Trump. A counterpoint to Bolt. It's quite obvious that Australians hold Trump in low regard. So most Australians don't accept the logic of Bolt. You may want to address that.
Never said anything in that regard. There most surely is among Trump voters.
Kavika, some Trump fans live in a world of alternate reality. There is nothing to be done for it but to remove them from political power at the ballot box. They cannot be reasoned with.
Thank you.
Now it's "some". Well, John, some on the left live in a world of hate. Hate for America, hate for Christians, hate for Jews and most of all hate for American values.
Are you sure you want to go down this dirty road, John?
How about a civilized conversation?
Vic, Donald trump is not fit to hold office in the United States of America. That is as plain as the nose on anyone's face. He's not honest, he is completely corrupt, and he appeals to the worse instincts of his followers. Its enough of a tragedy that he was made president for four years. Now you want four more. No. If he does win there will be endless trouble just like there would be towards any other tinhorn tyrant. We dont need more of a psychologically, intellectually and morally misfit wannabe dictator that can't stop talking about himself. This is America.
You better be careful with that - you may get some of that back this time.
Progressives and their violence! ENOUGH! AS OF TOMORROW NIGHT - OUT YOU GO!
Must be kinda odd looking at the world through orange tinted glasses.
So, business as usual for Democrats, eh?
Tearing down and instigating against their President. How classy.
We survived almost 4 years of skyscreaming idiots blasting the President for every single word he utters, I am sure we can survive 4 more years of it if Trump wins.
Hmmmm...I wonder if any Democrats will look to their party and their candidates if Trump pulls off another HUGE upset, or will they be content to whine, cry, bitch and moan for another 4 years?
What a meaningful comeback!
I am not the one full of hyperbole...OMG the hate, the hate....When one will not even acknowledge the rhetoric coming from their own backyard.
Texan Donald Trump tried to blackmail the president of Ukraine into investigating Trump's election opponent by withholding military supplies to Ukraine until such an investigation was announced publicly.
In itself that should have caused trump to be removed from office, but the corrupt republican senate did not do their duty.
For that reason alone Trump should be voted out of office now. Of course there are , as we know, dozens of other reasons Trump should be voted out.
Nice deflection from my post!
Who is?
OMG the hate, the hate
It takes a lot of hate to loot and burn and murder. It takes a lot of hate to deliberately defame Brett Kavanaugh, It takes a lot of hate to accost people outside their homes, offices or restaurants.
Like the right wing agitator they caught breaking windows of a business? Like the kid shooting people? Like the donald fans now 'protesting' outside of Barr's home?
You've decided to go tit-for-tat?
There is no comparison. The left owns it. They began last inauguration day when they went nuts in DC. That is how they accept the results of an election.
I'm afraid it's true
Bullcrap. I could say the right owns it when they went nuts after Obama was elected.
Odd to me that you can acknowledge a tit for tat yet refuse to see what one side is capable of while pointing fingers at the other.
Sounds like American support, right around 20%
THE MASK IS OFF: Kamala Harris Endorses Communism Two Days Out From Election Day
Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris endorsed Communism with just two days to go until Election Day
.
never say the left is not communist again... it is official.
Delusional.
Are you actually attempting to deny the words coming out of her mouth now??????
Get real, buddy!
Here's when polls close across the US on Election Day http:// hill.cm/QCvHqcp
You heard what they think of you! You're still "Clingers" and "Deplorables" and today we heard that you are dumb - dumb enough to ignore what they will do to fracking & fossil fuels!
Send them the message!
Her understanding of human nature and "equitable" is sophomoric at best.
More empirical data that indicates she must have blew her way to the top because she is clearly dumber than a half a can of rocks
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette backs Trump in first GOP presidential endorsement since 1972
http:// hill.cm/JHTwHWw
We well make America prosperous again!
Final thought:
If we wake up on a cold morning in January 2022, and find a 15-person Supreme Court, a Senate without a filibuster, a nation without an Electoral College, and two more states admitted to the union, we will know that it's really 1984 and we let the progressives win.
Be back after the election
