Trump bailed out Argentina, who then undercut US farmers by selling their soybeans to China, who used be our biggest customer for soybeans before Trump drove them away with his tariffs.

This is Trump 3D chess in action.

Arrogance, Ignorance and Idiocy.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

Hey #abc730 why a profile of the sad dorks of the young Liberal Party of NSW? Why not a profile of the young greens or young socialists. Also why talk up Freya Leach as one half of a ‘power couple’ (sqwawk), and not mention her hosting a Zionist wearing bacon on SkyNews and getting cancelled?

This is nasty stuff. I've mentioned before that I had the displeasure of having to work with her husband, Robert Reid, some years ago when he Chief of Staff to Kevin Andrews.

He was a goddamned lying bullying snake. Andrews fired him.

That's what Reynolds is.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

"Donald Trump is rarely challenged, whether that's in his own administration or by the swathe of friendly media that's been brought in, which is why normal questions can stand out."

An observation which also reflects the excellent journalism from John Lyons and #4Corners.
