“ I'd just say to that member, if he cares a lot about conflicts, I wouldn't call a sister-in-law a 'distant relative'." From his own mouth. Fucking dickhead doesn’t even listen to himself speak #nzpol

Who's old enough to remember when all of the right-wingers were outraged that Tova dared to ask her if the boot camps would be permitted to use physical force against their rangatahi, including Karen Chhour who called these & related questions "revolting" www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Minister defends proposing bootcamp providers have use-of-force powers against kids, but can’t say who they could be

She wouldn’t say what safeguards may be included against these powers.

I don't think the number of extremists has changed particularly, it's just that a bunch of them worked out that rather than have their own unelectable movement it's a lot more effective to trojan an existing broad church party. It's been a very successful strat to date.

It's becoming a truism with this government that the more noise they make about fixing a claimed problem, the more their policies achieve the opposite effect

Key was the leader of National, the party that claims, and is thought to be better for the economy in spite of clear evidence to the contrary. To admit that claim is false about the GoP is to acknowledge it is false here as well

Very much so. I'm not a gambler but I wonder what we were paying for a 3 -0 series win before we started playing

The bill, introduced by a member of Prime Minister Netanyahu's party, passed its preliminary reading on Weds and will be further deliberated in Knesset committees. These people are desperate to rule over millions, without representation. Or drive them away. What do they want us to call that?

I kinda go in the other direction. The percentage of Americans prepared to vote for what Trump represents and proposes, means a similar percentage of our neighbours would likely be comfortable with the same. We are not different or better.

DAAAD! Moms doin weird shit again!

A four-panel black and white comic shows a boy and a figure covered by a sheet resembling a ghost.

1. Panel 1: The boy, smiling, touches the sheet-covered figure and asks, “Going as a ghost this Halloween, Mom?”
2. Panel 2: The figure replies, “No, I’m going as you,” still under the sheet.
3. Panel 3: The boy stands outside a door, looking embarrassed and shouting, “Don’t come in, Mom!” Meanwhile, the sheet-covered figure inside makes “fwop fwop” sounds.
4. Panel 4: The boy, blushing and sweating, defends, “It’s not what it looks like! I’m uh… making my bed!” The figure continues making “fwop fwop” sounds under the sheet.
