It’s not a nom de plume, it’s a lifestyle. For ease of reading if you're confused about what my tone is just assume sarcasm.

I tried that with my wife once, she looked at me like she was watching someone having a stroke.

“Haven’t you ever seen Kingswood Country?”

“No, I was busy getting an education!”

I had no response to that.

🤣🤣🤣

He's like a child discarding a toy in favour of a newer one and then throwing a tantrum when another kid tries to play with the one he threw away.

As far as he's concerned left wing politics is his and his alone, even though he's moved so far to the right progressive policies are now foreign to him

The money is in the broadcast rights, and that will work practically anywhere.

All those kids discovering a brave new world where they won't have Albo's latest proclamation of how everything is just tickety-boo as long as you don't look outside forced upon their phones.

They didn't reduce crime, they out competed it.

Three men walk into a bar. The barman says “I really need to move that before somebody gets hurt”.

Australians voted en masse against a party that proclaimed it wanted to be like the Trump administration, and you learned nothing from that.

I’ll be glad when your worthless, toadying, fascist adjacent arse is gone from politics, I just hope this country survives it.

Also Gene Roddenberry named the main character in his space saga after Charlie. 🤣🤣🤣

When his term is up I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if he packed his bags and headed to the US.

I also would not be surprised if he was detained at the border and either deported or sent to El Salvador.

How am I wrong?

Greens generally want to work with Labor but will do overt politicking when it’s obvious Labor isn’t interested in doing the right thing (eg Gaza). Albo on the other hand hates the Greens and is not shy in showing it.

Remember how the Australian public overwhelmingly voted against the Coalition because Dutton said he wanted to be like Trump?

I don't like coffee so I reserve the right to be a little stabby at times.

Well in all honesty it was sort of involuntary but it does make things easier. So yeah, lucky me.

Work? What’s that?

Waiting for the Epstein files to be declared an Antifa operation.

This is exactly what is wrong with governments these days. They're more interested in what their donors have to say than the voters who put them there.

And if you dare point this out to them they treat you like you're a child who has the temerity to question the adults in the room.

They'll start wars first, rally around the flag and all that. It will eventually end as you say it will but a lot of people are going to die first and they won't all be American.

People who own their own homes should be reasonably ok, those without or a large mortgage will be in trouble.

But that's okay because they will be able to get jobs in the military which will be needed for the "Liberation" of South America starting with oil... sorry I meant Venezuela.

So he believed the people he tried to wine and dine at Camp David for peace talks could have been beaten?

Cranky Aussie™ @crankyaussie.com · 10d

Have you tried turning him off and back on again?

Cranky Aussie™ @crankyaussie.com · 12d

Desperately trying to hold onto a dream that the Australian voters have roundly rejected.

"Sure we could make sure we go paid for all the resources multinationals pull out of our ground and ship overseas, it would mean that we could afford to fund things like the NDIS, welfare increases and Gonski. But wouldn't it be much easier for our donors if we just screwed over the voters?"

Freedom of speech means we have to respect his right to be an absolute pillock.
