The reach of Sky News is very small.

They are parodied mercilessly by most under 45s (all of whom have to vote every 3 years)

Australia has compulsory voting.

You have to vote or you get fined.

Our system is preferential too. Thats why we end up with more consensus outcomes.

Also we have a non-partisan organisation the sets electorate boundaries and runs the electoral process.

Huge differences to US shit-fuckery

So be a Republican.

Might as well be if you’re going to sit in the side. πŸ‘Ž

State charges for sure.

PTSD goes to whether he honestly believed he needed to shoot.

Even if that’s established, the objective reasonableness and proportionality tests will come into play.

So PTSD never provides a full defence in this case.

I’ve prosecuted several self defence situations. This guy is in trouble

It’s one of those situations where DHS think it will establish he was under imminent threat, but in a court of law (where this should clearly end up) it’s actually useful evidence for the prosecution.

He used excessive force which was disproportionate to a person turning and slowly driving away

Maybe they’re really eager to get shot in the head whilst driving slowly from immigration agents?

The car was moving at less than 5mph when he shot her through the window. Clearly driving away and not endangering the shooter.

Nothing justifies the use of lethal force in that instance

Local cops need to take control of this investigation and ensure the Feds don’t get to cover anything up.

Didn’t do the homework. Doesn’t think. Never has. Yet he was voted in twice. πŸ™„

Missing quite a few full stops TBH. That 100+ word sentence in the middle is a killer.

Why celebrate the potential of a 50 year debt agreement? How is this a good thing?

β€œWhat’s remarkable?”

As if nowhere else in the world has elections?

Better organised, impartial, compulsory and proportional voting elections which arrive at consensus outcomes.

Yep - everyone vote,
but don’t fool yourselves that your system is remarkable ….because it’s quite dysfunctional.

He has never paid attention to regulations in building. No doubt where he’s infringed as a developer it’s been dealt with in a β€œcommercial manner” πŸ’° πŸ’° This is no different.

Well it’s the World Series - so that would mean they go to the UN don’t they?

Weird that the court, Senate, House and WH are currently GOP…..and people seem to think they don’t have support?

Maybe the millions of indifferent US adults need to be a little more attuned to what’s going on. It’s those people who will drive change - not a drop in support for the current regime.

One is brave and to be admired the other is a coward who dodges accountability.

That’s the difference.

Whilst appalling it’s also ironic given Guevara openly supported numerous Republican politicians, who are now responsible for his deportation.

Exactly.

This executive cash grab to (again) benefit only billionaire / tech elites is not going to result in anything benefitting 18-34 year old Americans.

It’s at their expense / to their detriment.

The guy who always lies, lied to the young voters who blindly accepted the lie. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The statistics you have outlined are so detailed as to specify numbers of killings, deaths, shootings in your country… which were capable of being β€œascribed” to a particular side of….politics!? 😱

There’s 7.8 billion people living elsewhere in the world.

So many of us don’t have that problem.

Australian here. This program runs on a channel which is more right wing than most in our country!

In short, pre-election 74% of us preferred Harris over Trump.

In May 2025 our left wing government was returned with a massive majority due to the opposition support for several Trumpian policies.
