Want to know why Main Stream Media isn't trusted any more? The NZ Herald headline is misleading clickbait
Donald Trump tried to launch nuclear strike after election loss
on the face of it, the indication is launching nukes. When you open the article, it's exploring bombing Iran's nuclear capabilities ... which is a problem, but nothing like deploying nuclear weapons.
FFS Herald (and others), he's a muppet, he's lost, but your credibility gets absolutely smashed when you put up headlines like this.
Maybe this should be grumpy old man territory, but the clickbait gets me proper cross these days.
Thats fucking average alright

Georgia elections looking close so far, but leaning Democrat.
Given both Republicans won in November, but feel just short of 50%, this is quite a turnaround.
Turnout is breaking records, ~2x the typical numbers for senate runoff
Grist for the voter fraud rumour mill

Explanation here. https://www.vox.com/21551855/georgia-ossoff-perdue-loeffler-warnock-runoff-election-2020-results
Basically if no one gets a 50% majority then the top two candidates run off to decide winner.
Early days in the count but bound to be tight.
If the GOP lose Senate power over this (because the candidates have gone all in with Trump) there will surely be a party backlash against him. -

It was. But due to special request due to the Georgia runoff @Duluth has reopened.
In opening it @Duluth has requested we all keep it seemly, on topic and no name calling.

There was some vile shit posted in here
We've had to lock this thread several times over the years. Getting bored of posters who are monomaniacal and/or emotional about US politics on a NZ rugby site
I was hoping to make a code change to be able to ban posters from this thread only. It wasn't possible.. So if you act like a fluffybunny in here you'll lose access to the entire politics sub forum

A work censor for a word beginning with c
It goes back at least 15 years. I can't remember if there was a reason Bartman picked it

@Kiwiwomble said in US Politics:
@Duluth ...can I ask the a question
whats the origin of "fluffybunny", obviously picked it up from context but...why?
If I recall correctly we also had one for the masturbation word that rhymes with tanker. That one was pistonwristed gibbon. Same thing, every time you typed said word, the replacement would appear in your post. Stumped a few of us for a while 🙂
