Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The Frankston train now goes straight through to Werribee.

That’s one train you don’t want to fall asleep on, going either way.

Plod be plodding, dutifully, at the behest of partisan interests, once again

The AFP beyond parody

Hanson's useful morons make an offer to undermine our gun laws in return for $ from the NRA? Crickets

Someone embarrasses the Govt? Lights & sirens, boys

Must be soul destroying for the good ones

Perplexity recognises it as a metaphor with a number of different meanings. The one I associated Lidia’s comment with is:

“Conflict and Protest: It is often used to express intense anger or a call for radical action, signaling dramatic upheaval, rebellion, or destruction of the status quo.”

I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say “goodbye” to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to “load that magazine” & think of a “bullet” when casting their vote.
And received no penalty or censure.

She insisted we should be making migrants feel welcome while at the same time she blamed them for hospital congestions & house prices rising. It was a clown act, Speers failed to call out the hypocrisy.

"I’m being a little cute - I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven,okay?..But I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.You know,as an example,had the election of 2020 not been rigged, you would have millions of people living, just in Russia, Ukraine alone."

Nothing yet posted on this BlueSky account by our PM on the piracy on the high seas and the kidnapping of Australian citizens seeking to deliver desperately needed aid to starving babies, men, women & children?!

International rules based order, anyone?
