Damn, Bill Clinton just called Trump & Pam Bondi's bluff. Clinton released a statement calling on Bondi to release all of the Epstein files that mention him - including photos.
This is what a president with a spine looks like.
Meanwhile, Trump is having the FBI scrub his name from the files.

Albo just got booed at the memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting.
I immediately felt sick.
I’m also angry that this tragedy has been so politicised.
Albo is not to blame. The Labor government is not to blame.
Hateful extremists ARE to blame.
We need unity. Not more hate.

Apparently no one is going to stop trumps looting of famous presidents memorials & renaming them for himself. He wants his name on everything. I guess for him it proves he’s the greatest man in American history as he steals & loots this country & its people to make himself appear rich & famous.

Head of UA intelligence Budanov: Russia planned to begin aggression against NATO countries by 2030, but has now revised its plans, aiming to occupy the Baltic states in/by 2027.
Poland, according to him, is viewed by Russia solely as a target for strikes, a military campaign w/o occupation.

I’m all for booing the PM at sporting events, but booing the PM at a memorial for a mass shooting is just gross.
It’s remarkable how rapidly empathy and sympathy can be lost.

And all non white Australians must feel profoundly excluded
As I have watched the Day of Reflection event at Bondi, I have grown increasingly concerned with the tone and tenor of the speeches. I am particularly concerned by the President of the Australian Council of Jewry claiming that all Jews at the event are “proud Zionists”.
