A new chapter for the @greens.org.au? I expected Shoebridge. He may bring a bit more grit to their political communications. They are the only centre left party now. Certainly not @australianlabor.bsky.social under @albomp.bsky.social. The coalition have entered the valley of death. #auspol

#Trump falling asleep on live television. He had just done his, “Sleepy Joe Biden”, shtick again. Those who have to stand around him as props in the Oval Office, have become very adept at pretending he hasn’t dozed off. Again. Yet another phase of “normalising” Trump’s behaviors & rhetoric. #USA

#Trump should be in prison. But no. He’s president again. A grand failure of this fractured republic, unravelling #democracy & its “public interest” #journalism. That long term, insidious process of “normalising” The Huckster. Felon. South Korea dealt with their authoritarian president. Brazil too.

What are we witnessing here? Is political gravity finally kicking in? Survival instincts too? Are we at last at the “tipping point”? Maybe. But all this only makes it more likely that #Trump will be determined to steal the midterms. He is shameless, unfettered, self-infatuated. #fascism #democracy

Well, yes. This is a fractured, failing republic, unravelling #democracy. #Trump should be in prison. South Korea? Brazil? As a civic religion, #USA “exceptionalism” has been a corrosive curse. It has amplified hubris, arrogance, ignorance, violence. Now we’ll witness Trump steal the midterms? #GOP

A classic #Trump rant. It makes no sense. If he keeps claiming a ”deal”, that requires negotiating. With “offers”. He lies as he breathes. It would be far easier to report on those very few occasions when he says something that almost aligns with the truth. #fascism #USA #propaganda

Curbing, controlling, crushing #USA public interest #journalism is a key strategy within the #Trump #fascism agenda. “Fake news” echoes “Lügenpresse”. There is an irony. The US media have been largely ineffectual & constipated in the face of the Trump extremism. #ruleoflaw #democracy #freepress
