Putin or Mossad can quickly fill the post
I would be appalled to have anyone think that I shared their values.
Trump has shaken down so many businesses that he feels comfortable going after News Corp- the spin business that got him elected. He is seeking an absurd amount and so forcing the company to respond, even if they do eventually hand him some money. Discovery has the clear potential to destroy him.
Hydrogen has limited scope. Instead of subsidising coal and allowing gas to be exported for no significant return, Australia should tax these at rates as high as Norway does. We could then offer a significant prize for the first demonstration of a scalable system to produce green steel.
The best way to help Taiwan is to stop drawing attention to it. The US cannot prevent China capturing it with ease and speed. The US could not retake it nor hold it. All this sabre rattling bs is completely unhelpful.
They work for Putin. With the big bill through now, the facades can come off.
Brexit was a no-brains decision
Supporting genocide is OK then?
So, another business ruined
Racist, fascist billionaire's puppet. His role is to end democracy. He will incite civil war. He is a bigger threat than Trump.
An honorable party would demand his immediate resignation.
But while it has delivered almost no savings, data has been mined, billionaires rewarded, the economy and people weakened, and further divided. It that sense, it has delivered what the regime required, just nothing like what we were told it would do. A nation royally screwed.
I wonder if Mossad have a plan, put away, to kill him if he becomes an impediment?
When you are dead, your body might as well help somebody.
Started under Reagan. Many significant cuts. No appreciable trickle down benefits resulted. Great theory, but not supported by data
But will they? In modern America, (Trumpistan, soon to become Vancistan), the coup rulers regard compliance with courl orders, as unnecessary surrender.
Think for a bit about where they could get weapons. The remember that for many years, Netanyahu directed funds to Hamas. It was never about hostages, it is seeking functional extinction of native peoples and the theft of their land.
Wasting his time on non issues while his whole system is shown to be particularly vulnerable
Which raises the intriguing question, what else have they planned?
Trump doesn't build. He is not great at anything beyond crude concepts. Others run the circus and will profit. Unlimited data for AI training. Deep analysis of competitor's staff. A new Stasi? Political manipulation of the gullible. Social control through fear. Oodles of corruption opportunity.
None of that matters if they don't protect the balance of powers. DOGE has cost billions, will kill thousands, and provides no net social gain. Agencies are spiked with young fascists at critical junctures.
In determined women lies the only hope of national salvation
The threat seems to come more from the USA these days - even unto allies. Does anyone believe the US would stand with allies unless some special payment was made?
Can we call it extortion? Money or service gained as a result of threat made?
Catalonia has honour Catalunya té honor
Surely he wants to be on the first flight?
They are building a war time economy. Just like Hitler, only haphazardly.
Imagine being proud of causing suffering and death? That's the GOP. RFK Jr has likely added another 50,000 a year, and impending cuts to basic social services might do the same.
Trump works for Putin, not against.
So, the Voice against fascism is becoming yet another voice for fascism.
Finland continues to ace education. Here's reasoning for bs filtering for six year olds. If only the USA had that. www.helsinkitimes.fi/themes/theme...
It is very scary. We have a clear and present need for climate adaptation research. Particularly a better understanding of ecology
Trump has openly admitted that he has been protecting Putin.
The USA is a failed state. One more bill before the Senate passed, and full, formal, autocracy begins. Nobody really knows how this will turn out, but a leadership that pays big money to abduct people and dump them in dangerous places, clearly has no moral constraint.
The family electronic coin can be had without disclosure
Well, he knows Vance will rise soon, and selling indulgences is a very old tradition
Russia's useful idiots are a big part of the US administration, but these disposable assets have been groomed in many countries and at relatively low cost. They can be hard to find and defuse. Others are playing this game. Will/is the US be doing it in Canada? m.youtube.com/watch?v=FcWa...
In 1944 President FDR proposed a second bill of rights. I don't expect this history to be widely taught. He wanted to add the right to work with a living wage, to medical care, to education and social security. America might have been a truly great nation. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_...
Given that the USA, as we knew it, no longer exists, it has no need of a voice.
True, but NZ punches way above its weight and can expect great things from roper investment. It is important not to build inefficient administration structures like Australia regularly does - look at their Fire Ant fiasco.
The US President put out one of his online statements that was terrifying. He called for people to "intimidate" the court that had not found in his favor. Then he played golf This has been met with nearly total silence. Is the fear of retribution stopping the media and otherwise honorable people?
Black swans with red beaks are native in Australia.
Why should people imagine that there will be a free and fair election? Everything points to that being over.
I think we have almost reached situation hopeless. The US nation is under assault from countless directions and social resilience is necessarily failing. www.instagram.com/reel/DH8wfht...
Why would they want to enter the US? It isn't safe.
So, who paid?
Or, they could keep permitting new gas and coal while they pretend that exports don't count
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
Hey Americans, your Wahington government appears to be taking no steps to hide corruption. Is this the step too far? gizmodo.com/trump-hanger...
When does it become complicity? 100 days in, citizens are being deported, judges arrested, services cut, the rule of law failing, the Constitution is being flouted, the country is an international pariah, and yet, even though the path is clear, nobody appears to be standing up to save the nation.
Whereas Trump, the classless buffoon, turned up in his usual blue suit. Perhaps once the Heritage Foundation have killed off democracy, they can give him a new Emperor's uniform?
So, the FBI is now openly fascist, interfering with due process?
Is it available as a subscription from a Musk company or TASS?
Two adventurous young German women had explored New Zealand and flew on to Honolulu, planning to spend some weeks, but having only booked their first two nights. So, they were brutally detained and deported. Remember this as tourism crashes. www.stuff.co.nz/travel/36066...
If the shooter had been black, what is the chance he wouldn't be taken alive?
Dementia is a difficult illness mindsitenews.org/2025/04/01/s...
Sadly though, their is no protection for citizens in a country without the rule of law.
Can NPR stand up to the Zionist framing and still survive? Should NPR stand up to fascism? Aren't students expected to sometimes say controversial things? This is very scary #fascism
It's Autumn and 32°C in Melbourne. Nice to be warm, but we have definitely passed the +1.5°C threshold. Meanwhile, here's a sobering BBC assessment of fires risks in Scotland. #climate #wildfire #Melbourne #Scotland
Part of the tariff roulette plan, isn't just shaking down investors, but by decoupling the USA from world trade, they can build a strong 1930s-like war economy. They intend to start wars. m.youtube.com/watch?v=X8cW...
Deeper fantasy plans for Greenland include company town developments of the sort not openly seen since Pullman. Debts to the company store provide a path to servitude. Denmark can hardly begin to stop them if they are pitched as military bases, under the 1951 treaty. www.popsci.com/technology/b...
It is often said that Americans don't get irony, but I'm more inclined to see this video word salad as a great example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. m.youtube.com/watch?v=F9O7...
But he said he won't need their votes again. The coup is almost complete. Economic pain and martial law can be applied.
Is anybody going to believe these numbers? How does Dutton actually cap retail prices? What happened to the party of the free market?
The House should do its job and follow the laws, not pander to the pretend king
Australia has a free trade agreement with the USA. The concessions given mean that we are always 5 to 6 billion behind. Nevertheless, a 10% tariff has been added. There is no point negotiating with a bad faith actor. Divest, distance and build resilience
The massive impacts of climate changes on Queensland will quickly leave many areas uninsurable. Adaptation to high flows will be hugely expensive for rail and road and needs to be done to currently unimaginable flood levels. Coastal retreat is a real need. Current cane farms can be new prawn farms.
Hello? They are damn fine assets.
Will they be offered a pardon and a staff position? Maybe with the First Lady's staff?
Imagine that Savage cuts are killing Americans, but the President plans a military parade for his birthday that is unlikely to come in under $125,000,000 and possibly a whole lot more. washingtoncitypaper.com/article/7618...
So, how would you craft an anti-DEI statute so that uniformity and inequity was required and demonstrable, and certain groups were defined for exclusion? How could such law ever be Constitutional?
A domestic enemy is still an enemy. Perhaps if they were less certain of the coup's success, they would uphold their oath to defend the Constitution?
Another great win for putin
Big importers, wanting Chinese goods can organise to purchase them via Russia, which is then tariff free. This will help the Russian economy and make life even harder for Ukraine (which has been hit with tariffs). Maybe there is some benefit if your POTUS turns out to be a Russian agent?
It is nothing less than the deliberate destruction of society with no concerns for the death, suffering and loss. America has never before faced such domestic enemies.
The policies won't hurt Russia or Belarus and will not have much impact on Australia's uninhabited Antarctic Islands, that somehow made the list.
It makes perfect sense for a Russian operative
F@@k he's dumb. Is there nobody in Trump's staff that understands the basics?
Meanwhile, strategic market separation will help us when the world applies sanctions. Same for defence capability. The USA as we knew it, no longer exists. Did you notice the absence of Russia and Belarus?
He cannot be trusted to honour any deal. Negotiating just invites greater insanity. The Liberals' trade deal we have now has cost us more than $5 billion a year. Best to let lower ranks talk and to offer nothing.
This smells like Netanyahu
He wants the fancy harbourside mansion more than he wants to do an efficient job. An intention to waste a lot of money.
A conference wouldn't be something Gina would want, so the Temu Trump is against it.
The rule of law was something wonderful while it lasted.
The excise should be applied to improved enforcement. There are obvious illegal tobacco shops all around the country. Penalties should be increased. Asset forfeiture might make a difference.
The popular refrain from "Am I ever going to see your face again" comes immediately to mind.
Dutton rewards gas-guzzlers, punishes those without cars
Policy in the USA has turned about. Favour is decided by tribute. Old enemies are now their close friends. Treaties have zero value. They are planning to invade NATO countries. Cooperation with the USA increases risks to Australia without providing certain value.
Every day is a precious gift
The whole purpose of this security breakdown is apparently simple - the deliberate avoidance of record keeping, such as might be sought by courts. How much more of this is going on?
The message is simple - pay up or suffer. The USA honors no agreements without tribute. When the regime leader prefers Russia and China over Europe, the south-east Asians that thought they were allies have to look elsewhere.
Who knew that killing civilians could be so satisfying? Who suspected just how deep the Russian propaganda messages have penetrative what 'thinking' there might be in this regime? If Trump goes, the horror continues
He was appointed to disrupt and now knows that others can finish it off completely
Can they get all that stuff via their Starlink and subscriptions?
That's insane. She should not be allowed to visit anything beyond the military base. She is not elected
Trump has now gone the full Idiocracy. Government position determined by tribute. edition.cnn.com/2025/03/23/p...
A real President would remove RFK for his work that enabled this site and take action to have it removed.
Well, if there are attacks on either Greenland or Canada, that triggers NATO and the US will be at war with many powerful nations. No World Cup, no Olympics, no tourism, very little trade. Hard to imagine the damage done to the USA, the world, in such a short time
When you need to reduce awareness of the militias that are primed to act on request.
So, which is of greater value, the road transport or the water supply? Choices: Close the roads Close the roads in winter Spend a fortunate draining the roads to a water treatment plant Desal the reservoir outputs The ideal would be to Close the catchments.
