Make America Normal Again

Go imaround go.

Thank you for telling it like it is!

nothing wrong with pride in country, nanna or Artols

No one has to have pride in its current regime.

Just a couple of hours ago Trump has done a climb down in the middle of a war that was never needed. Pathetic and scary man. Oh, just a few thousand murdered in Iran, the regime completely and utterly unchanged, oil blocked, unspeakable things happening in the Lebanon, Gaza remains in tatters.

One moment Trump says he will bomb Iran to bits then suddenly oh we will extend the cease fire

Who can be proud about that?

A great example of how gerrymandering can change the politics in a state. This is what the people of Virginia are voting on. If this passes today, Trump is out in November.

As a reminder, this is happening, along with California's redistricting, because Texas decided to redistrict there mid-decade. It has started a domino effect of redistricting.

Just for info each states House seats are determined by population through the census at the start of each decade. The redistricting is typically done in the year or so after the census. Texas decided to redistrict in 2025 because they gained seats in the House, but those seats would have leaned left.

It has already started to backfire on them, but come November we will see Texas flip to Dem despite their best efforts.

There you go. The state will redistrict for the November election, and all future elections until the 2030 census presumably.

This was approved by voters. The GOP can't sue to stop it because the Supreme Court has already ruled constitutional, when California did it.

This is how you fight fire with fire unfortunately, and what it is going to take to impeach him.

Ohhh ... They are big mad.

If the man is a liar then I hope he was lying when he said Vote for me and you will never have to vote again

Thought this was interesting. It is always interesting to see the propaganda at work.

Another reason why we should could see the GOP start to do something about Trump.

10% approval rate.

The only way to fix these numbers is to do something about Trump, and with those numbers, they will be unemployed in November if they dont. All of them. Both sides.

The U.K. could be going through all this in a few years time if Farage gets in. Let joy be unconfined!

The GOP already found a judge to overturn the election in Virginia. This will end up at the SC at some point soon, I suppose.

I don't think that undoing the will of the voters is going to give them the reception they think they will get, especially since the Northern Virginia population was especially hard hit with Government lay offs.

On the news it was clear that oil prices are beginning to affect prices in the US.

And China will benefit.

Top work, Trump - stand off at the Straits

And for what?

Trump fired the Secretary of the Navy today. And no one knows why yet.

So that is 4 cabinet members down now.

Just getting worse and worse. Anyone who doesn’t agree with him- out they go. Frightening really.

And this is his response to the Virginia election.

Reminder that Executive Orders like this aren't worth the paper it is auto-prn signed on. An overview...

Also, the Constitution puts election duties to the states. So he can't just decree what he wants. I do feel like they are getting desperate though.

He was a good President by all accounts. I suppose all countries have their good, bad and indifferent leaders. The UK certainly has, it appears to be going through a period of bad leaders just now. Things can only get better, though. When you reach the bottom the only way is up, as they say.

Honestly! The two are totally polar opposites.

Although Starmer has definitely messed up (polite version), he hasn’t taken us into a war, crashed the economy, continually threatens and insults other countries and their leaders, threatened to bomb people into oblivion, insulted the Pope, allowed shootings to go unpunished, (ICE), boasted about being a Peace Ambassador, ranted and raved on X…. Need I go on?

I don’t recall anyone on here constantly dissing your Government in Australia, it would be nice if you stopped constantly slating ours please.

I don't know enough about the USA to comment on fiscal policy, but I do see both Mr Obama and Mr Biden as men of integrity, who were doing what they thought best for their fellow Americans. I do not feel that about the current President.

Good luck America and America, we have family in California and friends across other states.

There’s plenty of decent people in the USA, but even when Trump has gone it’s going to leave a very sour taste in a lot of countries.

Literally, God Bless America, hope thing stabilise soon.

I simply cannot understand one person backing Trump currently!

Unless Obama had a majority in both Houses, he would have had great difficulty in making major changes.
Does anyone know his situation in this?
He did manage Obamacare, which seemed to be impressive.

Absolutely. I was still in the US at the time. It was shameful how Republicans did everything in their power to block so much of the good he was trying to accomplish, regardless of how beneficial it was to the majority of Americans. His presidency opened my eyes to how insidious the Republican agenda was.

Now the Democrats are doing everything in their power to stop the Republicans, the only difference is the perception of the critics.

I fear there will be no quick resolution, politics in the US has become so polarized the balance will swing back in the opposite direction. In the meantime the rich get richer because they can take advantage of whatever system, however the US government changes I believe they will want less military involvement in Europe.

I think that the worry for other countries is the knowledge that if the current political system can throw up such madness, it can do so again unless some radical tweaking goes on.

Indeed. Let’s pray not.

Agree with Cossy.

Feel free to say what you like. I would probably agree, they are as bad as yours. Enough of the xenophobia though.

"I don’t recall anyone on here constantly dissing your Government in Australia, it would be nice if you stopped constantly slating ours please."

Albo is constantly under fire by one group or another but it's diverse and not of much international interest, he has lasted better than most Aussie PMs.

Yes the election duties are up to the states but some states are implementing DT election changes in advance. Im not sure but I think the postal service is under federal.
