Media not at all curious whether Trump’s demand for countries to spend a greater share of GDP on defence is just donor service for the arms industry, just as his withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate treaty served the fossil fuel industry. He’s a spiv and a mobster. Why not just say it??

We can all see Trump is an illiterate amoral idiot. What’s to stop the media (supposedly the smart, literate people) pointing out the absence of clothes on the emperor? Need to make mortgage payments not worth the peril of telling the truth?? Just give up and go and work in PR, you careerist morons.

Is Iran developing WMD? “Uncertain” By attacking Iran unilaterally,will the US and Israel prompt Iran to accelerate WMD production? “Almost certainly.” What will Australia do? “Waiting for the fax from Kevin and the editorial from Rupert.”

Hard for the West to moralise about Russian attacking Ukraine outside international law when Israel and its puppet state the USA are flouting every principle with their attack on Iran. This will not end well.

Could Trump can AUKUS? economist.com/asia/2025/06... from The Economist

Blisteringly accurate. How North Korean TV news might have reported on Trump’s birthday military parade.

Israel’s government, with tacit US support, is now operating with a level of impunity that suggests an upending of the post-1945 international legal order. theconversation.com/israel-iran-...

I don’t get it. What is wrong with the ALP that they can’t see AUKUS is a dud? When ScoMo is the only former PM singing its praises, you have to wonder whether Albo and Marles are the full quid.

Murdoch is killing the Liberal Party. Mine for MWM michaelwest.com.au/a-dying-demo...

Meanwhile, in a galaxy far far away, the AFR’s crusading hacks serve up another slice of unquestioning, ‘exclusive’ wealth porn.

I simply do not understand how Western Democracies, with politicians nominally supporting human rights, can sit by while the fascist regime in Israel indiscriminately kills civilians in Gaza, killing babies, bombing hospitals, assassinating journalists. What is WRONG with these people???

The truth from @grogsgamut.bsky.social Why such a fuss over reducing tax concessions on super balances over $3m? Because the rich and vested interests fear the rest of us will realise just how big of a rort they have going. www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Keep hearing Liberals saying how they have not clearly communicated what they stand for. But what DO they stand for other than the interests of greedy old white boomers who will go to their graves in a warming world clutching onto their franking credits. And I’m a rich old white boomer. #4Corners

Give the flick to the flimflam goss from Insiders’ ‘cool kids’ & watch sage heads talk the substance of politics on the #SundayShot. This show has history, perspective, context and everything missing from legacy media, PLUS a host in @instanterudite.bsky.social who asks the right questions.

There cannot be an attorney alive — apart from corrupt hacks at the State Department and elsewhere in Washington — who will not call the Israelis’ siege since March a war crime and a crime against humanity. #auspol #Israel #Gaza
