hero
4 panel cartoon

Panel 1: A very emotional blue guy with his fists clenched says “All evil needs to triumph…”

Panel 2: He gets even more emotional and continues “Is for good people to do nothing. That’s why…”

Panel 3: He yells heroically “I fight on Twitter!” he  puts his hands on his hips and looks sternly into the middle distance, sunlight fills the panel behind him and doves take flight in the background

Panel 4: Purple Guy leans into the panel and whispers “that’s the same as doing nothing”

The Two Trumps
3 panel comic

Panel 1: A Red Guy representing the White House stands in front of a massive jacked up Trump. The Red Guy points to Trump and says “He’s a big strong hero”

Panel 2: A very very mean woke leftie in the audience shouts “I hate his guts”

Panel 3: Red Guy is now cradling a tiny little baby Trump. With tears in his eyes, Red Guy yells “He’s a baby. You’re screaming at a BABY”

Albanese posted on the Nazi site. Full text in ALT. John Howard would be proud
Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression.

For decades, the Iranian regime has been a destabilising force, through its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, support for armed proxies, and brutal acts of violence and intimidation.

Iran directed at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024. These appalling acts targeting Australia’s Jewish community were intended to create fear, divide our society and challenge our sovereignty. In response, Australia took the unprecedented steps of expelling Iran’s Ambassador, suspending operations at our embassy in Tehran, and listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Our Government has sanctioned more than 200 Iranian-linked individuals, including more than 100 linked to the IRGC.

With international partners, including the United States and the G7, we have called for the Iranian regime to uphold the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Iran’s citizens.

These calls have gone unheeded. Instead, the regime has instigated a brutal crackdown on its own people leaving thousands of Iranian civilians dead. A regime that relies on the repression and murder of its own people to retain power is without legitimacy.

It has long been recognised that Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to global peace and security. The international community has been clear that the Iranian regime can never beallowed to develop a nuclear weapon. The United Nations Security Council has reimposed sanctions on Iran for failing to comply with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the International Atomic Energy Agency Board has formally declared Iran in non-compliance with its non-proliferation safeguards obligations.

We support the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security.

Analysis: Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was ‘obliterated.’ So why is he looking to strike again? | CNN Politics
In March, the US intelligence community assessed that Iran was “not building a nuclear weapon.”

It seems likely that the govt will do a royal commission, so just know they Zionists etc will now shift to "we don't like the terms of reference" "we don't like the the commissioner". The entire point of the calls for the RC was not to get one, but to be able to complain and attack the govt.

The NSW parliament is about to pass a law empowering the police to prohibit all public assemblies in whatever area they specify, for 14 days when a terrorist incident has been declared (also by the police). Clearly unconstitutional, even if you accept a direct link between protests and terrorism.
