On the outside looking in, I have a question. When anyone writes about the possibility of a Trump 3rd term it’s “but it’s unconstitutional”. Is the implication everything he’s done so far IS constitutional?

This is something that I use to explore with my female clients who had experienced FDV. Without anger women couldn’t own property, vote, etc. anger is a great motivator and not inherently “bad”.

I just want to point out that alcohol is a disinhibitor. The attitude driving the behaviour existed without the alcohol. The alcohol allowed the physical expression of the attitude by lowering inhibition. Yes, get some AOD help but also work on those attitudes.

What is happening in US now is a reversion to the isolationist attitudes that saw them stand aside during the start of WW2. An ambivalence that Churchill noted “America can be relied on to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other avenues.” They are no allies. They are opportunists.

Aus is following US. Politicians operating opportunistically for personal gain and to ensure votes. No foundation in common values, no commitment to ethics, transparency, or accountability. Both undermining education to stop critical thought or reflection. I’m gravitating toward anarchy.
