I don't have any form of internet TV and Fox does not transmit to the area of South Australia that I live in so couldn't comment one way or the other on what was on FOX last night. 

I notice you couldn't find a single point to dispute in my post though, preferring deflection...............

Corona Virus highlighted Trumps incompetence. when compared to others -

Corona Virus is highlighting Dan Andrews Incompetence when compared to others

Trump oversaw many more deaths from the virus than others

Dan Andrews management oversaw many more deaths than from the virus than others

The American economy has taken a huge hit from then virus

The Victorian economy has taken a huge hit from the virus

Trump used social media extensively to manipulate his followers

Dan Andrews uses social media extensively to manipulate his followers

Believers in Trump hold him in cult, god like status

Believers in Dan Andrews hold him in cult, god status

Trump true believers will never hear a word of criticism spoken against their " great one "

Dan Andrews supporters will never hear a word of criticism spoken against their " great one "

Trump supporters are almost rabid in their defense of their god, attempting to tear down opponents any way they can

Dan Andrews supporters are almost rabid in their defense of their god, attempting to tear down opponents any way they can

Trump supporters never question their masters management and competence blindly following in the face of overwhelming evidence of incompetence 

Dan Andrews supporters never question their masters management and competence blindly following in the face of overwhelming evidence of incompetence 

They may come from opposite sides of the political spectrum, but the similarities are frightening.

You forgot - they both like golf.

I get the impression that Andrews would rather people die than explore any options relating to the proven oral drug treatment that has saved lives. I'm talking about Ivermectin and Hydroxychlorquine.

I agree that there are strong similarities between Trump and Andrews.

Trump's true allegiance is to Wall St. and the Industrial Military Complex. Most of what he has done has been an act. Anddrews is the leftwing version of the counterfiet conservative Trump.

"I notice you couldn't find a single point to dispute in my post though, preferring deflection..............."

You are the one deflecting from your usual false claims that you are not voicing an opinion and are not being political. Your posts are so transparent.

And I do not dispute bias, subjective dribble. And to be honest, I never read your long posts, I would prefer to take a sedative.

Personally - I wouldn't take on either Dan's nor Gladys' job - true there have been mishaps & mistakes - but this pandemic has been an excercise in that which works & that which failed.

Here - they do not act alone - but at times on the advice of professionals - who also have been on a learning curve.

To compare Trump to Andrews is nigh on ridiculous - ridiculous to the extreme.

Trump is the Party of Trump - end of.

And may I remind - Trump was a Democrat for years before running as a Republican.

But - have at ...........................opinion.

Trump vs Dan - one big difference is that Trump is President over 52 largely independent States, who decree their own rules regarding health,  whereas Dan is "President" over his own federalised State and so has all executive power regarding health 

[domino-710]

The President resides over 50 States in the USA.

DC is not a State it is a Jurisdiction.

And let's not go near Puerto Rico as a State.

For some reason when thinking of Andrews, Pol Pot came to mind. I don't know what sparked off this crazy thought in my mind. But if given a free reign and his own devices, left to do what he wants, would he eventually have a Khmer Rouge style dictatorship in operation? Probably not but is he capablle of being a mini-Pol Pot?  I don't really know. Is he capable of being a dictator? I believe yes because this is how he is behaving. Under Pot's Khmer rule, certain people were eliminated so reason could never take hold and challenge the rule. Under Andrews' regime, there seems to be a strong dislike of reason. So that's one similarity I guess.

And talking of Pots, highly regarded and respected Australian journalist, John Pilger referred to Andrews as a Tin Pot

John Pilger lashes Daniel Andrews’ response to the Victoria outbreak, and accuses governments of ‘fearmongering’.

@johnpilger

Lucky Australia has no pandemic. This doesn't deter the provincial tinpots who run the states. Media-addicted windbag Dan Andrews, whose govt in Victoria slashed public health, has locked down Melbourne yet again. Tennis players in the Aust Open are exempt as 'essential workers'.

@johnpilger

“Australia has almost no community transmission or none,” says Prof. Peter Collignon. But Covid scaremongering allows Dan Andrews, the verbose politician who runs the state of Victoria, to lock down millions and demand ridiculous wartime powers. This is how autocracies are made.

All that while sitting in ' lockdown ' in the UK - of course he has a handle on here.

Not that I could be bothered with pages of scroll.

Sydney born Pilger has returned to Australia many a time and written books that have shown what's wrong with Australia. He's got Andrews pegged correctly.
