What staggers me is how many white women voted for this
I thought the QANON conspiracies where all Democrats were considered to be child- raping Satanists to be a tad overblown....but it kind of seems like every dodgy Republican or SB preacher is a child-raping Satanist.
I read an article today where one woman opined that dealing with men was like driving a vehicle backwards. I can see her POV and add....up a HILL
I think I have mentioned how very much I hate this government...I can't even listen to it without my foo-foo valve needing a recondition
😊
Just got used to NCEA.....
Not much better
So, almost as many AID WORKERS have killed by Israeli forces than Isrealis killed by Hamas on October 7th. The wider west needs to hurry up and recognise Palestine. New Zealand is unlikely to do it because the ministers that could do this are exploring American extremities with their tongues.
Israeli forces have routinely fired on Palestinians trying to get food at GHF-run distribution sites in Gaza, and the UN reported this week that more than 1,300 aid seekers have been killed since the group began operating in May Taken from Al Jazeera www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), said on Saturday that “the manmade famine in Gaza has been largely shaped by the deliberate attempts to replace” UN aid systems with a contentious, US and Israeli-backed group called the GHF.
Dark isn't it? Coincidences exist....of course....but...
What THE HELL is Kash Patel doing in New Zealand, lurking in Parliament?! Why won't the government say, who is he here to see? Lying and secrets again from this government 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
Possibly the most flawed human being to ever be adored by millions 😡
Now I understand a government is not the body of people, and there are people who are protesting against the sheer brutality, thuggery. But... Isreal has made ITSELF into a monster of depravity. I am sad about that. I love and esteem my Jewish friends, but I have set my face against Isreal.
And yet, I STILL think Isreal is criminally evil for doing to the Palestinians what they are doing It is actions so morally repugnant, that to suggest I sm anti Senitic for protesting against it, is UTTERLY offensive to me as a thinking human
I have a dear friend from university, who is Jewish. She took me home to her family, especially her Jewish grandma, her Ormi, who spoilt me to death and I LOVED her. So believe me when I say there is not one anti Semitic hair on my body.
In NZ there isn't an awareness of "Jewishness", if I can put it that. It doesn't come into the conversation any more than your eye colour. John Key was a conservative Prime Minister in NZ and I loathed the ground he walked on. He is also Jewish but that doesn't even cone into it
This irrefutable evidence? They didn't use logic to get to where they are, logic won't dislodge them They love trump because his behaviour resonates wirh their values. Make of that what you will
I'm not sure his dissertation will be met with universal approbrium. He will have to defend it to a tough crowd Further research may be demanded, more adventurous and imaginative Mr Jekyll will redoubling his efforts. He will require more snacks, an upgrade to his exercise wheel, plenty of rest
We could all see that coming. Justice has been hogtied in America. Now watch the branding. Red America....just so you know....you are NOT the only ones that find child abuse the most enraging crime 🤬🤬🤬 How are you going to handle it? Eh? It's so it's OK?
Ursula, do you think you could "Fuck all the way off!" to this idiot? Would we take this shit from Russia or China? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
A plague
I'm the Devil has much nicer dicks to choose from
I have a cold pit of fear in my stomach about them Mostly through history, there were only so many people someone like Vlad the Impaler could smoke. Now, it is potentially a whole planet
I feel like the mo was the moral, restrained, sensible protagonist of the story
Good luck with that...we are not going back!
What?!? Hell on earth.
They literally don't care who they hurt
Who cares? They are just women, right? They should be used to it.☠️ Im feeling particularly vengeful and bitter, right now
I keep being reminded how much I hate right wing governments
He said it admiringly
You do have to have the sound on to be fair....
But then....he would have to release tax returns to prove his honesty and on and on it would go!
Poor Rupert, on the one he hates Trump with the fires of a thousand burning suns on the other hand left wing leaning societies make him spend more in taxes What to do, what to do?
The evil people do in the name of love and peace
And let's be clear about whatever stoning is like They used special stones. Not too big, you couldn't throw them. Not too small, not enuf damage The idea was to torture you by breaking all your bones, aimed at your breasts, smash them open. Smash your face When everyone is bored, then kill you
Smh
It's not a palatable thought, but immigrants bring prosperity because they consume more than they take. Unfortunately, infrastructure grows at a slower pace, it's always been this way. I guess you pick your own veges AND send them to market AND stock the supermarket shelves
How is this man still in power?
I really think it's a non issue now No one is ever going to believe there isn't an Epstein file, so the public will never know the truth, because you can't prove a negative We don't need the file to draw sensible conclusions Trump and Epstien were thick as thieves, photos prove that.
For decades to prevent the inevitable vandalising of it. Even if Trump were discredited there would be a die hard group that follows him That is useful. Anyone that likes Trump is very morally suspect, if you like immorality you are immoral yourself. Stands to reason. Never buy a car off them.
Numerous women have come forth with testimony that Trump raped them. He was found guilty of sexual assault in a civil trial and then lied about it and found guilty of that too The actual file would make NO DIFFERENCE to Republicans. One day the man will be dead and his grave will be guarded
No one not using artificial stimulants is as happy as Goose with a watermelon!
If there is a statute against it, it can't be done, preferably through the Constitution A government isn't a person. People have the most freedom possible and governments the least freedom possible
2/2 ...against the "system" and what "they" don't want you to know They always have special knowledge that makes them right. I just want to know if they caught any fish the last time they were out and what our mutual friends are doing They are boring AND wrong. Love them anyway
1/2 There are people who inhabit this denier world SO much that they are irresistibly drawn to it and it arguments. Within a short conversation they will bring it up and talk about it and talk about it and talk about it. The energy is always angry, outraged, filled with their successes...
Legislate against it with a rewrite of the the Voting Rights Act? Democrats have had an opportunity to do it, but did not, when they held the House, the Senate and the Presidency. It makes me wonder why I'm not American so, someone correct me if I'm wrong
Overall a better outcome
We have proportional representation in New Zealand. There are a few parties with special interests like the Greens but there are still 2 main political theories, on the left and on the right. Center left and center right get butressed by more extreme parties and they form coalitions
Maybe not
They all caved. Not one could be found to put the country over the party. Not one. Everyone of them cried their alligator tears, vowing it was the hardest decision they had made.... Whatever.
Any society gets the government it deserves. When you stop demanding character from politicians and just roll in the money, like dog does with a dead rat, then you will reap that harvest Philosophers have spoken of this for millennia. Maga doesn't read philosophy though.
It's own destruction is going to lie in it failure to protect the weak. We will fall into war and be destroyed ourselves because we are stand for nothing. Character is destiny I'm 63. This I KNOW I have kids and grandkids. I'm not happy about this but some lessons are only learned in blood.
Thank you, its hardly moral to call out the starving to death of children. It's ordinary, you would think The paralysis that Western governments have toward Isreal is stunning. If the Western order isn't capable of improving the world, what use is it?
I am anti semetic, not in any way But I am profoundly against the current Istaeli agenda. The slaughter of children, a war on babies. Machinegun the starving who are clawing fir food It is the most disgusting and inhumane thing. And the people doing it are justifying their depravity
Is there some decent part of our society that money hasn't corrupted? I despair
Wouldn't THAT be good news!
Glad to hear of your success guys! AAAA+++
If you want more than two parties you need proportional representation and voting
Whosoever does the will of my Father in heaven....
I think Satan's plan is working and he can't stop grinning
As a New Zealander, I find it hard to believe the bullshit. Americans that live in New Zealand find it hard the believe the bullshit. But every so often I come across a true red MAGA in NZ. No place is immune
Have you heard of Mitch McConnell?
In New Zealand there is a distressing lack of good garlic. I used happily buy it at $50 a kilo rather than the Chinese junk. You can buy NZ garlic but the cloves are so small it takes a frustrating amount of time to peel it. Further enshitification of my first world
From New Zealand, what is the point of Starmer? You might as well have the Tories.
Lol....even better!
Someone has time on their hands....😆 Very enjoyable!!
If only it were confined to kissing
True, belching vinegar at intervals should keep me safe
Idk, Donald...this seems like payback for the booger
If it's fresh from the flight levels, does that mean I'm getting an extra dose of chem trails? New fears unlocked! Will they let me take my spritz bottle of white vinegar? I feel, even Jacinda handing me a bottle opener and and extra large bag of BBQ Kettle Chips is a trap to control me....
A black hole of awful old farts
I feel the same about bungy cords, all done scientifically
As you say *nibbles nails nervously* 😄
Good for Texas
The whole situation reminds me of a Instagram reel showing some lions after a wildebeest. The wildebeest was outnumbered and struggling to keep on his feet when his brother crashed into him and he goes down. Did the brother do it on purpose so he could get away by giving the lions a meal? 🤔
See how much you get in disaster relief money. I'm curious if trump will try to stiff Texas like he did California
I am not trying to be insulting, but plain You think you have some special knowledge you think is the key to all of this enshitification. You won't lower yourself to discuss it if I haven't read your sacred texts But that is intellectually lazy. There are all kinds of bad actors are piling on
I would like to be reassured, truly I would 😆 Have a safe trip!
So, I am not complacent at all. Democracy isn't needed for rich people to thrive, only the powerless You have a solid swaths of voters who are cheering this on. Maybe 30%, think Trump is doing just fine That is the cancer People are easily controlled with a secret police 170 billion isn't it?
I have watched it unfold with awe. So clever, so fckn dastardly. So utterly RUTHLESS. The Democrats have not stopped it, maybe they wanted this power too, but for their agenda. Maybe it's all teetering on a cliff. If it goes, it will be a generation to get it back
As a result of that, Mitch McConnell and his pals have allowed all kinds of other types to come along for the ride. The religious nutbars than authored Project 2025 are going to get their day in the sun. Only voting will stop them because we still have voting. For now. But not true voting
They have systematically gained power without a popular vote Just that on its own tells anyone what you need to know: they want things rational voters would not agree to So they have set out to co-opt all kinds of groups so they can have what they want It's simple: to be able to do what they like
The fire burning the house down now is the erosion of democracy. Suppression of voting laws, voter poll purges, gerrymandering have been happening for YEARS. The Republicans are entrenched on power, like a cancer.
Now if you were an activist back then, calling your representative, well done you. But if you weren't, don't try to take the moral high ground after the fact. Instead of moaning about it, get out and do something. I'll wait
Which they now do, thanks to YOUR denial over may years previous. By failing to uphold voting rights, supporting gerrymandering, pursuing power with no responsibility the Republican Party have overtaken the Republic. It's your denial in times gone past nor mine
I'm not in denial You said "they want people desperate because desperate people are easier to control " Desperate people are hardest to control It's a strawman. Attack it, you waste your energy They don't want to control "people" as in the common Joe. They want to control Congress and the Courts
This happened more than a year ago didn't it? lawandcrime.com/high-profile...
You would be amazed...
When politicians lobby to reduce "regulations " saying they are cumbersome and reduce profits, remember the same can by said of car brakes reducing speed
No disrespect intended. We only 300 letters 😉
No, I have not. It doesn't take deep research to realise rich people have mad ideas "They do it to control us" idea is seductive and is applied to everything, chem trails, sugar in coke, to the point of ridiculous Pay more attention to the Voting Act than the strawman conspiracies, IMHO
How hilarious politicians are! And by hilarious, I mean risible. Jacinda gets publicity for being a human, so Judith Collins become jealous and poses with a bottle opener. Clawing her way to humanity by aping her betters some might say.
Not like the current incumbent.
I have often wondered how well the air is "recycled" during a flight. When I turn the air nozzle on my face, I envisage it has been filtered in some mysterious way to remove the noxious vapors of anothers lungs. But then I remember the Iron Rule by Accountant and I turn off the nozzle
Did she ever do that? 🫨
It has been a concerted effort, over a long period of time, where clever people have tried all the doors for one unlocked to come to this place where the Rule of Law is unreliable for all residents of the US. You are a long way from Haiti in reality, but not so far philosophically.
The State has a monopoly on violence, to maintain order. Without order, there is Haiti. Rule by violent gangs. Due process is the ONLY way any person is protected from the power of the State. And it has been dismantled by the Supreme Court. Due process applies to all or it applies to none
I find this kind of idea counterproductive. No one is coming to save America. There is no hero, or Superman coming to take the villain away. What saved America was the protection that every person had from the power of the State being capriciously and/pr randomly applied to them
How exciting!! Airline food 🫶
