Kimmel, Colbert. Who's next? South Park? Civilisation has been down this road before. As Peter Cook said about the satirists of the Weimar Republic: “...those wonderful Berlin kabarets which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the outbreak of the second world war."
Especially if Melania were to put her hand on the back of his neck while he was down there. 🤣
I am surprised he didn't face-plant in the Brown Windsor soup. 🤣
The non-seeing stare and dropped jaw of an old man in his dotage. Are we surprised he fell asleep during King Chucky's speech?
In Australia, Tesla Powerwall 2 home batteries suffer a nation-wide recall due to fires. There are other batteries out there people, better than those offered by Herr Musk. Respond to his stiff-arm salutes with a middle finger one.
Melania now keeps his dangly bits in a jar on the mantelpiece.😬
Maybe Emperor Trump needs to get the Valerian treatment? Or perhaps dip him in molten gold? He'd have a terrible end but a lovely finish. 😆
Whodafeck needs a ballroom in the 21st century? The current USA isn't a Jane Austen novel, it's more like something out of The Hunger Games.
Fascist's fury has Kimmel canned. Kirk elevated to Horst Wessel status.
That sounds like a pretty clear admission that they neither know nor care who they are killing. Murder on the High Seas.
Sounds odd but when you think of it every sunset is also a sunset rising. Depends where you are standing.😁
He will never be impeached. Congress sold its soul to Trump a long time ago.
Well they just found their Horst Wessel.
Ooh! Ooh! Will there be a Torchlight Parade and a book burning? 😃
Gough, with Lance Barnard, did some wonderful things in a short time but let's face it, some of his Ministers were hopeless and alienated voters. I am thinking of Mafioso Al Grassby, Rex Connor (Tirath Khemlani, anyone?)and Jim Cairns (with his squeeze Junie) in particular.
I lived that history and marched for Gough. The US did not have a vote in the election. Only Australians voted. That they were duped into voting for Frazer is neither here nor there. If enough had been paying attention they would have voted Gough back in.
Isn't it the case that Trump didn't attend the vigil but went to golf instead?
It was ignorant Australians that voted him out. In a landslide and with a lot of help from Murdoch, Packer and Fairfax.
Sorghum too. China was a regular buyer of 6-7 million tons per year of US sorghum. Thanks to Demented Donny's tariffs that is down to 78,000 tons in 2025.
Coming soon to a Federal government near you - The Hastie/Price Clown Show! 🤡🤡
Ex-pollie Kim Beazley shows that he has lost none of his ability to be disingenuous. The Carlyon Award was originally for 'emerging authors' but the rules were broadened two years ago in consultation with Carlyon's widow. They narrowed them again just to keep Chris Master's book out of contention.
With more and more companies demanding that we give them a service review for every contact with them, it is time for us to dig in our heels and demand payment for doing so. They nickel and dime us at every turn. A charge-out rate of $660 per hour charged in 6 minute increments seems fair to me.
Today the Australian Memorial Council for the Glorification of War denying Chris Master a book prize because it's a critique of their war criminal poster and Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital cancels a panel discussion on the effects of war on children to please a Netanyahu buddy. Cowardice.
Albanese's Tory government is no less pro-mining and fossil fuels than the LNP governments that went before it.
It's a sad fact that unless they are swept up and dealt with in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war, these sort of vile people walk away from their crimes and use legal technicalities to ensure they die in bed and never face justice.
They are trying to keep a nice facade on it but AUKUS is just another omnishambolicfustercluck of epic proportions.
As with so much of what Amy writes, it is passionate, succinct and accurate. I would like to know who pulled the article and why.
In Sydney, a buyer pays $1.1 million for an apartment for his 14 year old daughter. The cynical among us know that it is not for her. It is an investment property that will be listed as her principle place of residence. When the property is churned there will be no capital gains tax to pay.
Albanese seems to be handing over Australia's sovereignity to Trump so I guess we must be OK with it otherwise we would have voted against AUKUS when he gave us the chance. (Yep, I'm being ironic)
^I am sure that the stories of the Official Dinner being nyotaimori-style using a 13 year old girl are entirely untrue. Prince Andrew said so.^
Only now, after our politicians signed us up to the debacle known as AUKUS, are questions being raised about emerging drone technology turning those nuclear submarines into nuclear coffins. Many of us said this from Day 1 but military boys must have their expensive toys. It's only taxpayers' money.
Was he using a direct quote from the teachings of Jesus or paraphrasing? 🤔 (Yes, I am being sarcastic)
Aa Goebbels is reported to have said: "Always blame your enemy of that which you are guilty."
And the party line being whatever their biggest donors pay them to do.
ALP government crowing about doubling or tripling NBN line speeds at no cost to the consumer as from today. (*Conditions apply) I am sure that the notice I got from my service provider last week that my monthly fee is going up by 10% is purely coincidental.
This year, for the first time in 55 years of voting, I did not vote for the ALP.
An unprecedented majority and he uses it to pander to the fossil fuel industry and foreign investors rather than do something better the lives of all Australians.
AI photography is educational. I didn't know there were so many people with six fingers or two thumbs on one hand.
Yes, they are hoping that with the passage of time, we will forget that no one of any consequence was charged and tried over Robodebt. The incident will be swept under the carpet. The perpetrators moved to another part of the Public Trough. That, in itself, is an act of corruption.
Kirk was not an elected official. He was a far-right shit-stirrer and a victim of US gun violence. Is the EU Parliament expected to hold a minute's silence for all such victims? If so, no one would ever be able to speak in again.
What we have seen and heard from the MAGA morons and their far-right fellow travellers over the last couple of days shows us that Trump is nothing but the pinnacle of the festering fascist carbuncle beneath. When he goes, the pus will still remain.
The implications that former LNP Minister Hunt, who now works for the Exclusive Bretheren cult, may have corruptly handed them tens of millions of taxpayer dollars when he was Minister would be an ideal investigation for an anti-corruption commission. If we had one. Thanks Albanese.
Many countries now regard the US the same way people regard that person on public transport shouting and laughing to themselves. Move away and don't make eye contact.
Trump isn't advocating for fast trials. He is advocating lynchings.
Who would anyone buy anything from an unfriendly, unreliable supplier who may not even exist in a couple of years? President Pedo's US is no longer a friend to Europe.
So where's the rifle? Are they expecting us to believe that before running away the assassin knelt and diassembled a rifle and packed it into a back pack?🤔
Investigate this: 1. Charlie Kirk calls for release of the #EpsteinFiles. 2. #LauraLoomer calls him a traitor to Trump 3. Kash Patel tells him to stop 4. Kash Patel fires head of Utah FBI 5. Charlie Kirk is assassinated in Utah 6. Utah FBI can't find the shooter. www.facebook.com/share/1BzKi3...
This total leaner was useless as a Finance Minister but since the LNP government bought him his job with the OECD he somehow thinks he has gained credibility. I prefer to believe the real expert. Nuclear power is old technology, too slow to implement, far too expensive and too dirty.
He is sipping vodka martinis in a dacha somewhere near Ykaterinburg.
They are the window to his soul, that's where the problem lies.
Thank you! Physically, I am in better shape than I have been in years. It's the mind that needs the TLC at the moment.
It's all very strange. My life long belief that death was not the end has been shattered. There is nothing beyond.
Kirk is dead. There is no doubt about that. He is as dead as a door nail. They say "...only speak good of the dead or say nothing." (de mortuis nil nisi bonum). I have nothing to add.
There are 6 members of SCOTUS who are not judges. They do not present detailed reasoning for their decisions. They are merely rubber stamps.
I had two months in hospital earlier this year and had 3 near death experiences but have had problems readjusting to being alive.
If those photos are genuine (moot - the frame on the left has him wearing different shoes to the other two frames) then I don't see how they haven't got frames where the face isn't obscured.
Now that Brazil has sent Bolsanaro to prison for 27 years, is President Pedo going to declare war on Brazil?
And have the keys to the car.
Brazil's Supreme Court finds former President and Trump buddy, Bolsonaro guilty of attempting a coup after losing in the 2022. His plot was foiled by the military refusing to support him. US military and SCOTUS please take note.
The elevation of Kirk to Horst Wessel status continues...
Looks like Melania has been at the gin again. 🥴
Trump and MAGA's very own Horst Wessel.
So how many times does Mandelson's name appear in the Epstein files?
Sussan Ley's rival for her job states in so many words:"She is my leader and I am ambitious for her." 🤣 A sure sign the stilettos are being gently stropped.
It is and Trump is one of its assets.
He's stooped even when sitting these days. I do like how he looks down to dispassionately watch the urine running out of his trouser leg bottoms. Cute. 😁
You are not allowed to say things like this. You will give the fossil fuel brigade and petrolheads bad dreams. 😁
When th e Demented Trump says he is going to crack down on political violence what he is really saying is that he intends to use Horst Wessel, sorry, Charlie Kirk, as propaganda to strike his political enemies, real and imagined.
MAGA morons were waivering because of Epstein. What better way to drag them back into the fold than to assassinate a leading MAGA activist and blame the left just as Trump is now doing? Conspiracy theory? Yep, of course, but it's still a valid theory given what we know of Trump. Release the files.
The Guardian writes that the Kirk assassination shows that violence is now a feature of US political life. They haven't been paying attention. Assassinations and violence have always been predominant features of US politics. Read the history.
Ley apologises to the Indian community for Price saying out loud what many in the Liberal Party think. She then shuffles Price onto the backbench to allow her to continue to foment her racism unimpeded by the restrictions of being a Shadow Minister. No Price apology. It's all about optics and votes.
On this horrible day of senseless political violence it is important to remember that Donald Trump raped children.
Forgive me if I care way more about the school shooting that also took place today than I do about Charlie Kirk.
^From the video it looks like he drew a big crowd. Bigger than Trump's crowds. No one draws crowds bigger than Trump. No one.^
This
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
Permanently blocking and unfollowing any "liberal" I see expressing well wishes for Charlie fucking Kirk. You're talking about someone who mocked the grieving parents of dead school children to score internet debating points. You are weak and pathetic. I disown you and your toxic compassion.
This distraction won’t work either. Release the files!!!!
No shit, Sherlock.
Meanwhile, in overshadowed important news, three teenagers have been shot in a school shooting in Colorado. Guess which story the media will follow.
It's been announced that Kirk is now an ex-christo-fascist.
Kirk is a christo-fascist who promoted guns. MAGA will turn him into their own Horst Wessel. I am not diverted. Release the Epstein files.
Trump and MAGA have been looking for their own "Horst Wessel". Looks like they might have found him.
Trump and MAGA have been looking for their own "Horst Wessel". Looks like they might have found him.
Look very closely at the hands. It's an AI fake.
The content of any communications between NATO members and to which Trump is privy will be on Putin's desk in triplicate before bedtime.
Once an antique always an antique. 😁
In the past? You are a fool. Russia with the blessing of their christian church is slaughtering civilians in Ukraine. Bible-toter Trump and his evangelical supporters laughed when he extra-judicially killed 11 people in a boat last week. Self-professed christian JD Vance said "I don't give a shit."
One thing about watching the interminable repeats of 'Would l Lie to You' on the ABC is you get to see time travel as David Mitchell, Rob Brydon and Lee Mack get old, get young, get old, get young. Some of their guests have been dead for years.
It will go on sale the week after you buy it at full price. 😁
And of course Christianity is not about colonising the world, eh?
It seems like the WH dictat to the media not to broadcast any sights or sounds of Demented Donny being booed at the US open didn't result in a total media blockout. Some Quisling media obeyed but not all.
With extra-judicial murders of boat people in the Caribbean and off North Korea, the US military is demonstrating its eagerness to commit war crimes in Demented Donald's name. "I was just following orders." didn't work at the Nuremburg trials & it won't protect them when they are brought to trial.
it's just juvenile gamesmanship from all sides. Earlier this year Australia got its knickers in a twist because the Chinese Navy cirumnavigated Australia,sometimes within its Economic Zone ( but not its territorial waters). 🙄
Just leave them on the shelf. Colesworths are ripping us off on egg prices anyway. Aldi can sell FR eggs at between $6-7 a dozen for 700 gm and also eggs from pasture raised chickens (1500 hens per hectare) at a little over $8 a dozen.
It's Father's Day in Australia and McDonalds will be full of fathers getting to spend two hours with their children thanks to Family Court Orders.
Who else thinks that because they have created the Great Koala National Park, all future state government will use it as an excuse to allow property developers open slaughter of koalas everywhere else in the rest of the state where they might impede them making their squillions?
Nazis and fascists had their right to freedom of speech forcibly removed from them in 1945. It cost 60 million lives. Do not willingly hand that right back to them. They are still as evil as they ever were.
