Saints live! Read it? It's what's pumped into my feed. I've not read tony's words of wisdom for a good decade. Not sure if you're aware, but it's actually not possible to block IPA bilge. I've tried several times.

I'd say about ten times as many times as PK. I'm a bit too busy to check, but with Billionaires obsessively platforming him - Advance, CIS, all Murdoch platforms, IPA - all giving him broad and narrowcasts - it's like an unshakeable flu. Actually, more than 10 times now I really consider it.

Such a convivial atmosphere. Over at The Australian, these are “hate rallies”. But there are rallies of bonhomie, and a shared desire for fairness. Imagine The Oz having anything so completely wrong eh?

I don't think much about PK as he manages to keep a relatively dignified silence. Abbott is like chewing gum on your shoe - turns up every single week in some Murdoch organ, or far right conference - or both. Not sure there's a comparison to be made here.

Superb speeches on the whole as well. The applause and yelling for the Gaza journalist sounded like a goal had been scored at the MCG. No wonder he was silenced by the love he saw in front of him.

There's a thesis into why such a repeatedly weird, and failed politician is given such a gigantic platform. Literally damaged good recalled again, and again by Murdoch and his crew of distractors and revivalists. Even Sat Paper led with his name today FFS!

When did he last look at Portland? Never. When did he last watch videos purporting to be Portland? Whenever the sycophants serve him some up. Wild.

No better trolls on earth than the Norwegians. Hell, didn’t they invent them?

I think Florida might want a bit of that action too.

Tbh, still reeling at the notion that a parliamentary sporting club (which I believe they were before declaring they were lobbyists) tossed the only actual sportsman in parliament. There’s a schooner of cognitive dissonance there.

Mr Pocock's steely eye must absolutely terrify grifters of all shapes and sizes. He and Barb (no relation) Pocock and Mr Shoebridge are fvcking legends in our Senate.

That elderly gentleman who is slurring his words is clearly not telling the truth. Might be worth keeping an eye on what he says or does.
