Why do #MAGA freak out when they are publicly accused of being fascists and Nazis?
Why do reform freak out when they are publicly accused of being racist in their actions and speech?
Why do both freak out when they are publicly revealed to be under russian influence?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Trump WH says its prepared to “ride out” the shut down. That translates to: This was planned. It was never meant to be short…and…oh yeah…we are going to f**k things up even worse during this period of time.

China is Gordon Liddy and Trump is a child
Liddy once summed up his life's philosophy by explaining how he held his hand over a candle flame until it burned: “Suffering. That was the key. Whatever the consequences of what I do, I must accept and endure them - outlast suffering to achieve my goals…”

Did Trump honestly think he could bully China into submission with his crazy tariffs?

'There are more than 11,000 Palestinians in Israeli detention, according to data provided by the Israel Prison Service, 87 per cent of whom have never been charged or convicted.'

Sounds legit.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

I have moved to a tiny village where 90% of my neighbours are Māori and, unless they are playing the long game by bringing me all these cakes and scones, I have never been made so welcome in my life. Ignorance and fear are truly corrosive to community health, connection and happiness.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Trump influencers deployed to Portland to shape the public’s understanding of events in the city. Online content is blended to serve the regime's policies. Loyalist counter-protest & provocateurs are part of an emerging tactic called stochastic terrorism. www.opb.org/article/2025...
