This one might be most interesting for my Aussie followers: An interview with @alankohler.bsky.social on ABC, with a bit about me, a bit about the U.S., and a bit about Australia. Also, economics. Always economics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkUE...

I agree. Show the whole long-form thing so that people can see what he is really like, rather than the edited excerpts that cut out a lot of the craziness.

Great explainer Jus, one that even I can understand. Thanks mate.

It's always about the money so it will be interesting to see what methodology the government uses in order to take stuff away from disabled people.

Yep. It really is that simple.

Agreed, but I don't think they will cut him loose until they can find a viable alternative. JD Vance ain't it and they know it.

I can't agree that she went rogue, she has a pre-nup to protect and to her self-preservation is paramount. In politics, everything is planned and gamed out. Every single thing. I don't know what the motive is but I don't think it is as obvious as we'd like to think.

The thing about “regretful” Trump voters is that they were never regretful when the harm was directed at someone else. It doesn’t have to happen to you for it to matter and that’s something I’m confident they’ll never figure out

A thought provoking explanation that asks us to think deeper than a tidy, convenient headline. Thanks mate.

Mr Spud, who is very active on Instagram, X and TikTok attends an anti-ICE walkout with a sign saying that he loves ICE. And records it. Gee, I wonder what his motive could have been?

“Dan Bongino’s got a real problem: You’re either lying then or you’re lying now,” Smith told TV host Piers Morgan this week. “If you’re going to come back to this world of doing these shows on the internet, you’re going to have to explain that to people at some point.” Yep, can't have it both ways.

Probably just shuffling the deckchairs by moving to a different location. There is just too much money involved.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.
