It did not take long for Pocahontas to play the sexist card. Bernie said something two years ago, really?   Playing to liberal elite women who have been passed over?  Just taking her lead competition down? Hissy fit?

Your masculinity is more fragile than Australia’s ecosystem. That’s very impressive.

"Racist", and "sexist"?
Might as well fire both cards, might hit something that will do as an excuse/s.

Allegedly 'speaking inappropriately to household staff', who in 'rank' would be below a Duchess, is not 'uppity'... more like 'rude', 'offensive'....no matter the 'color'/race of a Duchess.

Gee, Trump broke the law.

Who knew?!

I had heard the law said the money needed to be allotted by end of the fiscal year

GAO has an opinion.  OK.

Sky News contributor Daisy Cousens says the City of Canterbury Bankstown’s [Sydney] proposal for ‘female welcome zones’ is “medieval” and in 2020 “we shouldn’t be separating men and women”.
Ms Cousens told Sky News host Chris Smith Muslim women in the community told the council “they felt better able to integrate if there were spaces for women only”, which she described as “concerning”.

“That’s a concerning factor that somehow these Muslim women don’t feel confident enough in a mixed environment to fully feel like they’re a part of society,” she said
“Perhaps it’s a customary thing,” Ms Cousens said of the supposed preference of the Muslim women, but also commented “surely women should be getting used to integrating with the opposite sex”.

Fellow panelist Caroline Di Russo said “if there is a broad safety issue then that needs to be dealt with by the police”.

Republicans responded with an attack on institutional legitimacy. “The ‘nonpartisan’ GAO is run by someone confirmed to a 15-year term in 2010 under a Democrat president, Democrat-controlled Senate and Democrat House,” complained New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin.

The scathing column, published on Monday, said Canada is not open to anyone "looking to get out of Britain while remaining a royal".

Not welcome in Canada?
Looks like it's "Next stop USA"...as the "British Monarchy" sets up house in America.
LA could be favoured, she an actress and all that.
Her $7m bank balance from acting should be enough for a start-up palace.

Cali is much too dangerous for this couple.

The US-China trade deal is "Good for China, Good for America, and Good for the world" said my radio news today.

No it's not. It's good for China, and good for America.
Not good for Australia or anyone else exporting to China.

The 'China' pie is only a certain size. With US now taking a huge slice of the pie, a lot less is left for everyone else.

Good for American farmers, American resources, and many other American industries.
Which is exactly why Mr Trump was elected President, to Make America Great Again. Do the best for American agriculture, resources etc.

With its dairy, meat, agricultural, resources, industries likely to suffer, Aussie will just have to think up other things to export.

Maybe 'Bondi Beach lifeguard' robot dolls, male and female...charming, lovely personality, "a unique experience without leaving home".

Ideal place for them though?
Fit in just fine in CA?

Advance Australia director Liz Storer says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “increasingly become the new ‘it’ couple for pushing lefty causes” which they “can’t do… as royals”.

McLaughlin’s choice of words carried racist overtones...

Gosh,  ya THINK?   

In Trumpamerica they just keep slithering from under their rocks.   

And in Ambrose Bart's dictionary, realizing you don't want to be full-time British royalty is defined as "basic sign of sanity. "

You get put in the death chamber if convicted of a crime against humanity?

https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/11/12/trumps-crime-against-humanity/

The current charges against Trump raised by the Democrats–collusion with foreign governments to subvert American elections, obstruction of justice, emoluments, tax evasion, etc.–are serious enough, if proven.

But there’s a far worse charge to be laid at his feet: climate change denial as a crime against humanity.

Not only has Trump denied any human role in climate change; he has also purposely and systematically obstructed attempts to remedy its consequences. In the face of overwhelming evidence that greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels are accelerating global warming, and putting millions of people at risk for property and life, the Trump administration has insisted on promoting fossil fuel energy at the expense of renewables.

Crimes against humanity were first articulated at the Nuremberg trials after World War II, where they were broadly defined as systematic, harmful actions taken by organized forces against a general population. These include, it is important to note, not only the atrocities we usually think of (genocide, etc.), but other high crimes such as political repression, racial discrimination, and religious persecution.

The pursuit of crimes against humanity needs more support than current international institutions seem able to provide.

Don't want to be a member of British Royalty?
No worries, leave, free country.
Go make your own life, leave the public purse behind...and leave the money daddy earned from the public purse behind. Hand back your title. Pay for everything yourself, including security. Have a nice life.

The British Monarchy...some say it is outdated, and the Royal Family is outdated.
Say a whole lot of other not-so-nice things about it/them.

The British Monarchy, the system...Constitutional Monarchy, has served Australia well since Australia became a nation, federation in 1901.
