Just finished watching "Trial 4" on Netflix.
I can well-recommend it but I probably should stop watching these types of Docos because I curse and swear all the way through and just finish up angry at the end of them.

Yeah, I had to stop watching them, they make me irritable for a day or two after watching them. Their justice system is broken as ****.

 

[gringo2011]

Again involving Trump! Hahaha

Ah, yeah, he's literally stopping Sleepy Joe assuming the job he got elected to. If you can't see how the two of them are inextricably linked with out seeing bias, then you have Trump derangement syndrome derangement syndrome.

 

[gringo2011]

Saw that, might give it a watch. 'When They See Us' is similar and I really enjoyed that.

Just to wind you up more your buddy Trump said the 5 guys should have been executed even though the DNA evidence exonerated them. He's super just as well as super smart.

What's that got to do with Biden's corruption?

You are obsessed with him more than the pro-Trump lot haha

To wind you up more - not as bad as the '94 crime bill

I thought we were talking about his brain fades? He's still not as nutty as Trump even with some kind of cognitive issues.

Again we aren't comparing them. We were discussing Biden. I guess you are just trolling me now.

Adelaide and SA could enter a lockdown again due to botched quarinite

If only we had a federal government that was competent enough to sort out quarantine and border control instead of pushing every responsibility on the states.

Who cares about Trump and Biden when we have scotty the treasonous campaigner in charge.

I hope they contain it quickly.

I also hope the SA residents are wearing face masks from their moral high ground.

A glowing endorsement not doubt.

I think we can all agree that regardless of the ongoing litigation. The current admin should be working with the president elect admin. Especially with COVID running rampant in the country.

This assumes a bipartisan approach is both valid and understood and that the US actually gives one iota of shit towards health care, which given that say a universal scheme was akin to socialism and bad and piss off Mexico, I'd assume not many shits were or are given in that regard, as that takes humility.

No, so long as its enshrined that the worst of us can have access to things to kill and the right to hold and use them as well as ability to go off grid and vanish, people play second fiddle to desire, and desire is greed. Can't really have a christian nation with capitalism, they don't exactly work as intended.

So it’s the federal government fault. Looks like Victoria and south Australia are off the hook. Seriously that is hilarious.

Is that trump maniac still refusing to concede? Been without power for a week.

Where do you guys see the United States in 4 years time ... Will the country be better off and if so in what way.
Trump had his America first agenda with a conservative right leaning direction and in time "Trumpism" and "The Trump Years" will stand or fall with what has come before and what will come after.
What direction does Joe Biden take his Democratic party ..Is he under pressure to lean more towards the left and adopt more socialist ideas.
If so how will that sit with nearly 50% of voters who favoured a more right of center approach?
How does Biden unite a country that appears to be so divided?
In 4 years time will the right get stronger or will the left forge ahead.

We have a prime minster who is not interested at all in leading and palmed off border control and quarantine which are federal issues to the state.

A real PM would have mandated a national quarinte program ASAP, mandated strict lockdown and mask rules ASAP

I do find it funny that you are anti trump yet support the LNP who is run buy someone as incompetent as trump, more corrupt then 3rd world nations and say its all good

Trump might cause more problems , dividing the Republicans, which would only make it easier for the Democrats to hum along on Cruise Control.
Watch Kamala Harris get plenty of exposure.

Well its a real tweet but the issue is who "owns" that twitter account and what do you think this is actually about?

UN Watch is not the United Nations its a seperate NGO run by Hillel Neuer - International lawyer, human rights activist.


As for reviewing human rights, well every member is reviewed on a periodic basis so unless you subscribe to the theory that the west is best and "owns" the right to tell every other country what to do and how to do it - western democracies must be reviewed as well.

As to the actual review process - you can read about it here.

United States’ human rights record to be examined by Universal Periodic Review on 9 November

GENEVA (4 November 2020) – The United States’ human rights record will be examined by the UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Working Group for the third time on Monday, 9 November 2020 in a meeting that will be webcast live.

www.ohchr.org

"The United States is one of the 14 States to be reviewed by the UPR Working Group during its session taking place from 2 to 13 November *. The United States’ first and second UPR reviews took place in November 2010 and May 2015, respectively."

"The UPR is a unique process which involves a periodic review of the human rights records of all 193 UN Member States."

Perhaps if the current administration had taken more notice of the 2015 report and the commitments USA made, then perhaps the racial violence on the streets may not have occurred.

Sect B Civil rights and discrimination

Profiling and excessive use of force by law enforcement

The United States is dedicated to eliminating racial discrimination and the use of excessive force in policing. The vast majority of police officers in the United States are committed to respecting their fellow citizens’ civil rights as they carry out difficult and dangerous work. But where there is individual or systemic officer misconduct, appropriate response is required.

Presidents have power until the next inauguration date.

However unofficially this period tends to be very lax full power as the president is meant to transition to the next one, however don't see Donnie doing what Obama, Dubya, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan ect ect with making transition easier, and add in Mitch McConnell who will stop anything Biden Tries to do.

I still think home quarantine probably would have worked quite well, if it was compulsory jail sentence for breaching it.
( only excuse - medical emergency ).

As it is, the security from the Hotel Quarantines was a bigger problem than any people who came back from Aspen and partied.

W.A. don't seem afraid to use their jails .

Well that’s just made up rubbish but go for it. Not sure scomo deliberately devides the country or is a complete maniac like trump. Secondly does he run the borders how he wants and forget what the states want? Imagine the whinging from the likes of you if he said to the wa premier we are opening up your state finally what has the borders got to do with poorly run quarantine? And when did the government event run quarantine. Actually when did we really ever have quarantine apart from illegal immigrants?

We as a country should have just used Tassie, NT or some of our refugee islands as a place.

Shoving all returning people into hotels in the CBD being the best idea reeks shithouse federal leadership who plamed off any responsibility. Trump did the same in america, just we have less people and more space to cover our arses.

I suppose those in quarantine will grateful that the ADF aren't running the show.

'Shocking' extent of alleged war crimes by Australian troops to be revealed in report

The findings of a highly secretive probe into allegations of serious misconduct and potential war crimes by Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan will be "shocking" and "disturbing", according to an expert on Australia's military culture.

The federal government is responsible for border control and quarantine matters and they abandoned their pos t during a time when they had to step up, they did not do a job at all for shit they are meant to do, The LNP was meant to run quarantine, The treasonous swine known as Scotty from marketing abandoned this state.

McGowan has made the right choice with his borders, Trusting the LNP federally to do their job is something nobody smart would do.

You are Anti Trump yet voted for Australia's Trump and his Trump Party.

Tasmania is an island off an island already, It would be the most practical and smart thing to do.

It would be common sense, but you are AussieTrump66 so might fall flat for you.

Again made up rubbish. How can wa do it right but some other states can’t? Comparing trump to scomo just makes your iq seem really poor.
