    Yea a lot of fly in fly out workers.

    Yea I think the 4 best parts of Australia are Sydney -Melbourne - Great Barrier Reef - The interior.

    Those are the 4 things I'd recommend a visitor go to.

    It wouldn't be the first time trump's campaign used tax payer money...


    US taxpayers funded this epic Trump 2020 campaign ad

    VERIFY: Are taxpayers footing the bill for the president to travel on the campaign trail?

    We’ve Found $16.1 Million in Political and Taxpayer Spending at Trump Properties
    Most came from political entities such as the Trump campaign, but government agencies chipped in, too. “I could offer clarity,” one federal employee explained, “but I choose not to.”

    There is a legitimate argument that at yesterday's briefing Trump used taxpayer money and his office to produce and show a campaign video on time that was for the business of the US.

    At this point I wouldn't add campaign finance violations to the mountains of unethical behavior but this is a good argument for Biden and others to ask for equal time on all the networks that covered it including Fox and OAN..

    I disagree with the idea that Biden is the safe choice but I do believe that is the reason he has been chosen by the Dem party. I think Biden is problematic as a candidate. To me he's obviously lost a bit of his mental faculty compared to two years ago. Yeah, Trump is belligerent, makes outlandish statements etc... But he's not caught in those
    'umm.....what was I gonna say' moments" like we see with Biden now. Also, you've got the new sexual assault claim coming out. The Ukrainian stuff that has gone radio silent - Don't worry that will be brought up at a time so it's fresh on peoples minds. So many easy things to target, IMO. He's also put a target on his back by the oil/coal/fossil fuel industry with his adamant statements about how aggressively he is campaigning against them. Not a bad campaign strategy to win the Dem. nominee. But that's a pretty powerful group who has tons of money, regardless of the oil situation going on right now.

    As to the false info in the ad: It's politics. Just another Tuesday. I expect to see it and am unmoved when I see it on either side. Some of it's even funny to me because it's such a lie. It goes two ways. I think all can agree on that.

    CNN was quick to cut from those videos. I flipped through channels because I immediately was thinking, he's using this as campaign time. Also, don't the candidates have to buy their time? CNN will give Biden his due. You can be sure of that.

    Why not add it? Make the opposition prove his innocence. If you're gonna campaign on it as an argument, you might as well charge him with it or it's meaningless. At least that's the way I look at it. The argument against filing that charge might be that it adds to the perception that the left is obsessed with 'investigations' against the president. That perception is a real thing and a challenging hurdle, in my opinion. If my aunt, who bleeds liberalism, is tired of it, I know it's a thing. She's a former Judge and ran a pretty large social program in California. HATES Trump and begged me to vote in the primary against Bernie. She also drives like **** (public service message)

    The ad at the beginning of the post.

    Why no comment?

    Should Trump be liable?
