I guess I'll never understand how American's (in general) think.
A poll of over 5000 people in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona in October found that 57% of respondents reported feeling very or somewhat concerned that Trump’s supporters would resort to violence if he loses and two-thirds believe he will not accept the result if Harris wins.
Only 31% feared violence in the event of a Harris victory, while two in three voters were confident she would accept defeat.
OK so far. But
43% said they trusted Trump more to protect Democracy compared with 40% for Harris!

Brisbane 4 year-old Chloe Coleman hit an unexpected roadblock in her trick-or-treating when local homeowner Peter Dutton demanded she provide a full account of exactly what treats she felt entitled to and the types of tricks she might deliver, should he choose that option.
“Look, it’s all well and good to come to my house dressed up as a goblin or a witch saying ‘trick or treat’. But if you’re going to make those sorts of demands, then it’s only reasonable that I ask for a comprehensive description of how the trick will unfold,” Dutton told Chloe, as tears began to well in her eyes.
“Will you be pulling a scary face? Will you be subjecting me to a spooky story? Do you have a fake eye that pops out on a spring? These are the sorts of details I need upfront before deciding whether to say ‘trick’ or ‘treat,” he told the pre-schooler.
“You are doing nothing but creating division and disunity by knocking on doors without a clear plan for your tricks. And in any case, I’m pretty sure there are plenty of institutions already in place that provide treats for children like yourself, without the Australian taxpayer having to reach into their pockets once again”.
Trick or Treater in Tears After Peter Dutton Demands More Detail

I heard him today talking about the Qantas thing with the PM
Albanese has come out and said he never made a call to Alan Joyce asking for an upgrade. He then added later that he didn't ask for an upgrade by any other means of communication either, probably anticipating some comment like " but did you email or text?" Dutton's response was that even when the PM issues an explanation he changes his explanation and we still don't know the details. That's schoolboy stuff, pathetic.
I don't like pollies expecting favours whichever party they belong to but seriously the LNP going on about this issue is the equivalent of Collingwood supporters complaining about crowd behaviour.
There’s been a rush of Lib MPs getting their declarations in the last few days.
Apparently if Dutton and Lib MPs don’t declare upgrades it’s because “human error”, but Albanese is gaining some sort of illegal financial benefit…
Nah the outrage is in regard to Albo'sfreebies requesting upgrades while he was the minister in charge of transport, you know, the bloke in charge of all the airline regulations.
Whole *smile* circus is nothing more than another example of the piggies all lined up with their snouts buried as deep as possible in the freebies slush trough.
