Jfc already! How many times does this have to happen before Israel’s supporters fucking see it’s a feature not a bug.

Fuck Bebe, fuck the IDF and fuck every nation that supports this genocide (glares at Biden).

Well businesses are people too ya know!

The Finnish Flash could kick their ass.

My mistake. I believed that because Oz is a Commonwealth nation their system of gov’t would be the same as Canada’s. But Australia has a mix of UK Westminster style and US Congress style. They do still have a Governor General who represents the monarchy tho.

Probably because it’s proprietary to TransUnion. Needless to say it’s powerful and thorough.

Not if it’s an estranged husband/wife looking for retribution, or a stalker, etc. Lots of individuals would be interested in a single person’s info.

Australia is a Commonwealth nation so they follow the Westminster style … the same as Britain, Canada, etc. Senators would not be elected, they are appointed, and act as a check on Parliament.

The Australian Labor party has strict penalties for those who undermine its collective positions, and acts of defiance can lead to expulsion - a precedent with a 130-year history.

This is not unique to Auzzie politics. AFAIK every Westernized nation’s parties follow the same rule.

My question is if your nation touts its democracy as the best thing since sliced bread, how do you mesh that with dictatorial leadership forcing politicians to vote along party lines, especially on something like this?

Enforced conformity is about as undemocratic as it gets, yet I don’t see any big names standing up against it.

My rule of thumb is if the kid can ask a cogent question (just not the Why? or How come? ones) then they deserve an honest answer.

First rule of checking whose voice you should listen to – the amount of people who are vested in your ‘approval rating’ vs the amount of people actually stating the facts of what happened.

Whichever number is greater is usually the one that’s right.

Somebody should tell him he’s listening to the wrong people here.

Fuck the Shrubs, fuck Rumsfeld, fuck Kissinger, and fuck the whole American military complex that believes torture will bring out the ‘truth’.

You wanna know where cops get their mindset from? It trickles down from the military, the CIA and the FBI. Cops see what they do and wanna be just like them, so adopt what has been proven they have done … from kidnapping to torture to outright murder.

Just because it’s big doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be opened. Only Sonlight can cleanse the shit that bullshit ‘Christianity’ has wrought.

Unfortunately.

I would just turn my head or move further down the beach.

I know lots of kids were/are playing those without parental supervision. Those same parents had/have existential fits if their child sees a penis or breasts in a movie.

If the DNC would get their heads out of their asses (a longshot, ik) and voted in another viable, smart candidate they could turn voter apathy around in a heartbeat.

Too bad they seem to be happy with the power status quo and fail to see the real danger they are in if/when Trump wins … cause he would not be adverse to using guillotines or nooses to fix that ‘problem’.

If Bernie is in, I choose AOC as his running mate instead.

Fuck Hillary.

There, a candidate must win support from the majority of “delegates” - party officials who formally choose the nominee. Delegates are assigned to candidates proportionally based on the results of each state’s primary election. This year, Mr Biden won almost 99% of the nearly 4,000 delegates.

According to the DNC rules, those delegates are “pledged” to him, and are bound to support his nomination.

But if Mr Biden were to drop out, it would be a free-for-all. There is no official mechanism for him or anyone else in the party to choose his successor, meaning Democrats would be left with an open convention.

Presumably, Mr Biden would have some sway over his pledged delegates, but they would ultimately be free to do as they please.

That could lead to a frantic contest erupting among Democrats who want a shot at the nomination. Source
