Given that Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Sanders are favoured to win the election...the question is...if China were to invade
Australia, would they go to war with China?

Just pull the covers over your head.

LOL
I like surety.
I'm in no way sure that Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Sanders would go to war with China to save Australia, Japan, Vietnam
etc.

Your mistake is believing that Trump would.

I'm not really sure I understand the Sino-Oz tussle.

What's going on?
Xi is picking fights with everyone, and has told his people to prepare for war...according to experts on my tv kast night.
They also said that Australia should prepare for an invasion.
Charming.
Exactly why Australia should've had nuke-armed subs long ago.

So you have no clue too ...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/politics/e-jean-carroll-trump-lawsuit/index.html

The so-called Department of Justice wants permission to defend Donald J. Trump in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit against him, personally.

This is how they would like to spend the tax-payers' dollars.

Pretty revolting.

All this as he continues to ty to dodge every way he can having his DNA compared with DNA on her dress, despite his claim to have never met her.

If he's trying this hard to hide it, at least he thinks he is guilty, even if nobody else did before.

The "Law and Order" President was once again breaking the law, this time in North Carolina.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/politics/donald-trump-north-carolina-2020-election/index.html

Trump, campaign crowd appear to violate North Carolina mask order

Nothing new here. The man is a criminal and a scofflaw, both, and he inspires others to break the law, too.

Quote
Plyler -- a top Republican official in the county Trump is visiting -- said the situation on the ground there should warrant a change in the President's mask-wearing behavior.

"We've got 6,000 people with the virus right now in this county. And the latest statistic is, out of the 6,000, I think is that 86 have passed away from it," he told CNN. "My concern is -- we've got the virus here. The virus doesn't give a rip whether it's the President or God Almighty himself. It's going to find its place. And the way we have to figure this, at least in my mind, is that we all have to be careful about it."

What is the context here?   The sound is poor quality,  and a viewer has no idea what precipitated the confrontation with the manager.   No competent journalist would run a story on a couple minutes of video without some context.  Could  this be why only partisan hacks dumped this on social media?   "Look,  angry black people!  Scary! "

Since he's spamming the forum with links with no context the best thing I can think of doing is just to scroll past those posts. But that's just me.

Not sure about him 100% either.
Never have been.
He hasn't said the right things or shown any intention to visit.
Maybe he would have in his second term.

The popguns we have now would be useless.
At least nuke armed subs would be something.

It's okay with Kid and Ward if Trump does these illegal things.

Always has been. Most of Trump's (remaining) constituency feels the same way.

"He's not an ordinary politician," they have told us repeatedly. And it's true - he's a con man, not a politician.

This is about the rise of white nationalism in our schools.

Everybody here except Ward, Kid, and Bambi will want to read this. Ward will LOL, Kid will deny, and Bambi will make some sort of mealy-mouthed response.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/new-hampshire-man-arrested-for-voting-twice-in-2016-election_3488035.html

Steer clear of this outlet run by Falun Gong. It’s the epitome of fake news

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/two-sites-that-amplify-hoaxes-given-special-treatment-at-trumps-briefings-despite-restrictions/2020/08/14/8579032e-de6e-11ea-809e-b8be57ba616e_story.html

I haven't looked in much in the past few years, and undoubtedly they are partisan in terms of being anti-Beijing and pro-Trump because he's taken a hard line on China.  But outside of that agenda, their news coverage seems normal, and they focus on China issues other western media might ignore/not care about. 

For about 3+ years I used to use their free proxy server which got me through to NYT and youtube and other blocked sites.  And some of their new slinks would be at the bottom of the proxy home page so occasionally I'd click through.  And their news articles were usually good and useful.

Not sure the extent of their Trump support and how that has colored their political articles.  They are a group with a political agenda.  But most of their news seems impartial.  The crackdown on Falun Gong was basically a dress rehearsal for the Uighur stomping going on now.  FG practitioners were thrown in jail and reeducation camps on a mass scale.  They were a group who practiced basically tai qi and other slow moving exercises along breathing and meditation, and were made up mostly of middle aged ladies in sneakers.  They were prevalent in parks throughout China, noted for their discipline and cleaning up after themselves.   But the PRC didn't like any organization having coordinated action and power.  When the gov't tried to ban FG, they protested peacefully outside the gov't in large numbers.  So the gov't engaged into a large-scale brutal crackdown on hundreds of thousands of FG members.  But the West didn't say peep.  And now the Uighur crackdown is larger and getting some attention.
