Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

It's the same as when Michelle Obama said "When they go low, we go high." That worked well, too. 🙁

America is fast resembling a gangster state. A nation that fell into its own Hollywood fictions. This was a shameful shakedown, an ambush. Epic disrespect for an actual leader. The evidence is now conclusive. Time the world woke up and did some plain speakin’

Well, he gets away with all of this stuff, so why wouldn't he continue saying and doing these outrageous things? No-one is stopping him. He believes he's above the law, and nobody is preventing him from acting like he's above the law. 🤷‍♀️

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Doesn't like being called out. I don't think this quote is "campaigning against vaccines". Poor Lewie has sad comprehension skills. ‪

Also blocked after calling him out. He posted some quote about Pete allowing medical exemptions and other exemptions in very particular circumstances. He's gaslighting all over the place.

Aussie54 @realaussie54.bsky.social · 02/01/2025
That isn't campaigning against vaccines! Talk about gaslighting. *smh* That's allowing medical exemptions, and also allowing for exceptions in very particular circumstances. It would be nice if you could provide a link to that quote, please and thank you.

Anyone know of when Pete ever campaigned against mandates for childhood vaccines? Is this guy high?

Can you link to where he campaigned against mandates for childhood vaccines? I've been following him for years, and have never seen anything like that. 🤔

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Whatever he chooses to do, I hope it allows him some good quality time to spend with his children. They grow so quickly! And at their age, they're like little sponges - it would be great for him to be a big presence in their lives.

Good question! I rarely watch any movies these days, but I suppose there are bad British movies. Perhaps I should ask Marshall.

There used to be a motel just to the left of the silos, where we stayed several times when the family was young. There was an outdoor pool and spa, which the kids loved. It's gone now, completely bulldozed. 🙁

I've been on a few trips around #SouthAustralia with my sister recently, which have been (mostly) good fun. We've seen a couple of examples of #SiloArt, the latest being at Farrell Flat in the #ClareValley. There's supposed to be a tiny little elephant hiding in the wheat, but we couldn't see it.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

"With everything the incoming administration is telling us they’re going to do, we probably need to stop handcuffing ourselves with standards they won’t follow" This. When you have incoming scum, you sometimes have to drop to their level. No good being goody two shoes when you lose all the time.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Went to visit Martindale Hall on my recent visit to Clare. This is where the movie "Picnic at Hanging Rock" was filmed. Interesting that such an amazing house was built almost in the middle of nowhere. Must say it was lovely and cool inside on a very warm day. #SouthAustralia #ClareValley

For the last couple of weeks I've been buying Dermaveen's 1.25L Intensive Moisturising lotion from #ChemistWarehouse for $20.99. Today I saw in their #BlackFridaySale that everything's 10% off. Thought I'd stock up, so clicked on the website to find the sale price is now ... $22.49. 😅 Rip off?
