The irony of one of politics' Biggest Losers, Tony Abbott, a man who lost the Prime Ministership, the support of his party and finally the support of his own voters, lecturing the right wing International Democracy Group on why they are such a bunch of losers isn't lost on me. 🤣

Well of course Fox News should never have been put on Demented Donny's blacklist of media outlets that refuse to toe his line. Fox News is to Trump what Der Stürmer was to Hitler and Pravda was to Stalin.

At this time of the year with Christmas approaching, I feel it is necessary to remind people that the movie, Love Actually, is a load of patronising and misogynistic rubbish. Change my mind. 😁

Much as I appreciate MeidasTouch's motives, their pronouncements border on hyperbole and really are counter-productive.

Kegsbreath's orders were clearly illegal but the Navy Seals had no qualms in carrying them out. I think we should be worried by that.

Would Sarah Beckstrom's family actually want Trump to turn up at her funeral? She was only in DC because of his political stunt. His invisible hand was on the trigger

When Sussssan Ley says that her party is going to make industrial relations a new battleground in politics she is saying they are going to strip worker's of rights and suppress wages again.

The Puritans really were not very nice people. They were the rabid evangelical Christian Nationalists of their day. Change my mind.

As a descendant of Robert Cushman, a leader and organiser of the Mayflower voyage. I don't think he realised the mess that would be created. I apologise to indigenous Americans. I have more respect for my forebears that were shipped to Australia by the British Ruling Class for sheep stealing.

We don't yet know the truth behind the Washington shootings but we do know that the timing couldn't have been more fortuitous for the Trump regime.

It's Thursday in Australia. The day the US celebrates Thanksgiving. We don't celebrate it but if we did I would be giving thanks I don't live under the control of Demented Donny's tinpot regime. Fare thee well, USA. Most of you deserve better than what you are currently being served up.

So was the plan that Bolsanaro would escape to the US embassy and then be spirited to Argentina where Trump had already paid Milei for his board and lodging? The plan falling down when Bolsonaro showed he was clumsy with the soldering iron?

Here is Trump's demented reasoning:
1. I am POTUS and SCOTUS says I cannot be prosecuted for anything I do as POTUS.
2. Therefore everything I do is legal.
3. Therefore I cannot issue illegal orders.
4. Therefore all military must do as I order.
5. To say otherwise is insurrection and sedition.
