Trump is a 'flip-flop' man who bullies and threatens.
When people stand up to him or push back he more often than not 'caves' and then tries to present it as the 'art of negotiation'.
If he can get away with it he will, and that's the secret to his demise.
The more people push back, the quicker the facade will fall away

There are even a few Republicans now who are starting to 'rebel', and are distancing themselves from Trump.
His support in his own MAGA base is starting to crack as the 'good ole boys and girls' realise he's a paper tiger.

You've got the governments mixed up again Shawny.  We have a Federal system with State and Territory Governments and the Commonwealth Government.  The latter has the misfortune of trying to deal with the lunatic in the USA.

My point was we have no politician remotely capable of standing up to a figure like Trump.

Albo nor that goose Rudd are not taken seriously by any country yet alone a super power.

You're point has absolutely no validity.

Any half-decent Australian politician from either of the major parties can stand up to the senile p1ssweak bully who is pretending to be the POTUS when he's not cheating at golf.  If you followed international affairs you would know that the Australian Government regularly takes an opposing and correct position to that of the USA.  The rest of the world has a playbook for effectively dealing with Taco, and Albo is one of the authors.

And Rudd, for all his flaws, has the balls to rightfully call out Taco as the village idiot.

Jacinta tells us the state is safe and our bail laws are the toughest in the country.

Yet an 11 year old stabs a 8 year old and police have confirmed no charges will
be laid as he is under the age of criminal conviction. He wore a balaclava had a fake gun and proceeded to stab a grade one child and a teacher. Did an adult crime so why allow him off scott free- Htf is this kid going to learn? Can you imagine in 5 years time what he will do. Juvenile detention is a min for this kid yet cant be charged.

Meanwhile at coles in Laurimar Machettes gang members terrorise innocent citizens going about their daily business - 2 of these criminals were charged yet unbelievably were yet again released on bail!! Can you fking believe it - nothing changes.

WTF has happened to our state - its out of control and regardless of which side of the political fence you sit on something needs to change and change fast.

The Laws and sentencing need major overhaulling yet nothing will happen as those running the state deny there is any issue.

Sad sad state of affairs

Are you near laurimar shawny?
I know a lot of residents are losing their crap over this and it appears people are very close to pitchforks and torches.

It's kind of predictable what our finished team will look like.
People will go for what they're familiar with.
Hayward will probably be an inclusion most will agree on, but other recruits will struggle to get a jumper.
And fully fit with no injuries...it won't be a bad side.
There may be a sprinkling of newbies on the bench.

Our problems over the last few years have always been about fielding our best side.
It just hasn't been possible.
The only way it can realistically be achieved, without huge luck, is on paper (or screen)

But I suspect that what we finish with when this exercise is done will be very different to the side that actually takes the field against Sydney.
I expect all of Dean, Hayward, Ainsworth and Florent to be in the 23.
As well as Jagga Smith.

I have mentioned in another thread that Sam Walsh’s father, Wayne, is my grandson’s woodwork teacher.  That’s not exactly right, he is his “design tech” teacher.

Anyway, the young fellow has just brought his design tech project home.  Superb design and precise woodwork.  Great work by the lad but well done Mr Walsh!
