ICE agents are indistinguishable from Proud Boys. That tells us a good many things. None of them good!

Rewatching the show now it seems far less outlandish with the juxtaposition against 2020s politics rather than twenty years earlier. Still no less fabulous as a show though.

Gary stood against genocide when the BBC did not. The post he has apologised for was absolutely a mistake. However, on balance, history will judge him well.

With his father dismantling (among other things) the Edu. Dept, nepotism baby and career idiot Don Jr seems to have confused Dr Jill Biden, who holds an education degree with The West Wing’s fictional First Lady Abbey Bartlett who was an MD.

The Nationals love women. Some of their favourite wives, girlfriends and au pairs are women.

Many women explore their options before ultimately deciding to proceed with a pregnancy. Now historical online research into possible options may be seen as criminal malice and evidence of wrongdoing?!? WTAF indeed.

They keep us distracted with the public vs private debate. In truth, if the Ginas and the Clives, the Apples and the Amazons, and the Metas and the Googles all paid their fair share of tax there would be plenty in the government coffers for every child. As it should be. Corporate tax is the answer.

I met Tim in a hotel bar last night. He told me about the time he eyeballed a shot from his speeding X-Wing into an exhaust port to destroy Labor. What a guy!

‘Never went to therapy’ is as an appealing brag as ‘never washed hands’. It’s not something to be proud of.

NYT is weeks away from reporting the murderous deaths of dozens of Palestinians as: “IDF kafuffle causes oops-a-daisy in Gaza”. Absurd by NYT. Not even close to journalism.

The Venn diagram of people who hate both Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen, is quite a special group. It’s a real litmus test for shitbags. #politics #auspol #trump #taylorswift

Just finished listening to Gunnawah for the second time. A fabulous yarn bringing the dust and mossies of rural Aussie life in the 70’s (and some sinister underworld characters) to wherever you’re listening. Great characters and a wonderful story, expertly told. Loved it.

Good news. Based on the numbers, Tim Wilson is going to lose to Zoe.

Zoe only needs to take circa 52% of the remaining votes to get over the line. I’m confident she will by a few hundred votes. #auspol #goldstein

I’m going to stick my neck out and say I’ve run the numbers, twice, and with 7500-8100 votes left to count, I have Zoe winning by a few hundred votes. Definitely a recount coming, but I’m calling it for Zoe.

I do not understand how anyone who owns a television, a radio, or has bought a newspaper in the past 18mths can draw any conclusion other than extermination and genocide. It’s all there in horrific high definition.

Trump’s view is that there’s no “you” in “American people”, but there is “me”. When he says he wants what’s best for America 🇺🇸, he simple means what’s best for him.

This LNP leader selection is reminiscent of some of the Tories’ recent attempts. If not a lettuce, there’s definitely a cabbage or two in this iteration.

In 2025 they no longer feel the need to try and mask their racist policies. Circa 43 million Spanish speakers in America 🇺🇸. Fewer than 30,000 Afrikaans speakers.

Based on the price tag of the new aircraft on order changes to the Qatari aircraft to fit as a true AF1 will likely cost $1-1.5B and take a few years to do.

Hey there lawyer friends. Is there anything preventing states from treating ICE disappearances as kidnapping cases? Is this already happening and I’ve missed it? Your friends in Australia 🇦🇺 are very concerned about you all.
