31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

The facts don't matter to Trump, who will just use this as a pretext for further power grabs.
Maybe invoking the Insurrection Act.

But most US corporate media seem to have forgotten that deploying National Guard to Washington and other blue cities was never needed.

This spook scandal cries out for investigation. ANAO, IGIS & PJCIS should all be on the case, but there should be public scrutiny, not the usual behind closed doors cover-up. High time too for senior bureaucrats publicly disclosed their interests. #auspol

Where are your responses and proposed actions in the face of confirmation of what we're still witnessing, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social.

You were quick to applaud the "ceasefire" that never was. What more lies, obfuscation and platitudes do you have for us now. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

Moody’s had no option but to downgrade Tassie’s credit rating to the worst of any state. To say the Government and Opposition are fiscally illiterate is being kind, as they couldn’t even be trusted to manage the cash for a chook raffle. #auspol #politas

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.

1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.

2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.

3. Russia pays everyone for everything.

4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Well that worked so well under LNP Abbott, Morrison governments. Now Albanese Labor Govt having a go.

Cut guts out of skills and knowledge of public service in every industry, employed more expensive consultants who robbed Australia blind, offshored profits, and put the boot into the people.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Just heard Social Servives Minister Tanya Plibersek on #RNBreakfast accusing journalists of being “obsessed” with banning gambling ads.

If only the Albanese government was not so obsessed with sucking up to the gambling, sports and media lobbies. #auspol
