Politics Oz and USA

 Australia

Well i was badly wrong. The ALP won the Aston by-election and thus for the first time in over 100 years a government has won a seat in a by-election form the opposition ( and just remember there were special circumstances for that.)

The Libs had a good candidate but unlike the ALP candidate who also was a good candidate was never actually able to be herself. Blaming the ALP for inflation was absurd. Everyone knew inflation started when the Liberals were in power although they were not to blame. The voters were treated as idiots and di not like that. The impressive candidate di not sound impressive when she was forced to make these accusations. The Liberals talking points on both energy and a federal ICAC sounds as though they still have not realised what is going on. I might also add they do not sound fair dinkum on the voice either.

Add in an unimpressive leader with no alternatives and you have trouble. Dutton does not show any great intellectual bent nor does he show he has the energy needed as well ( See Keating post 1975).

At present they are only in with a chance if the ALP become a disunited rabble as they di last time and there seems no chance of that.

USA

Trump has been indicted on 33 counts.

A grand  jury indicted him thus a majority of the 22 people obviously thought Trump needed to go to trial. first let us deal with a trump lie perpetrated by many who support him. George Soros has never contributed to the Manhattan's political campaign. He has not even talked or ever communicated with him. It is a typical anti semitic remark of trump.

We do not know what the 33 counts are as yet. We wil lnot know until Wednesday oz time thus it is absurd to say this is political. If it is how was a grand jury convinced. If it was the charges would be easy to fight and talk about. Thus far no has!

This we know is more about dodgy accounting than anything else something the DA has won on over 100 caes this far. It is his bread and butter.

Trump is innocent until and if he is found guilty.
