Marked giving our money & solace to fascists. Time to sink the USUKA subs

Kevin's face! OMG. Feel just the same. Marles tugging his forelock errr foreskin.

I forgot Rudd was still there. That's the thing, zero shame. If he truly meant things he'd expressed in the past, he would not be the ambassador anymore.

But then, anyone who's worked with him is either a booster, or knows he's a nasty, selfish shit. Not sure that anyone can become PM without it

Such a cushy job ambassador to the States, what could go wrong? Every day a dinner and a song. Easy money. Now it costs a soul, but I guess that's ok, after all, how much do they weigh.

I guess if Rudd was to resign now everyone would say Trump pressed for his removal and that would make Australia look even more craven. The really crap thing here is the Albanese gov proceeding with AUKUS even after the felon was elected.

jakobgamertsfelder.bsky.social•23 days ago

Trump has not threatened Australia, why would that be so? He has no need to, because we will give him everything he wants. Which is everything. Trump loves a groveler, he said as much about Musk, which may be why Rudd is still employed. Albo is being painted as a faint ghost of a leader. /1.

jakobgamertsfelder.bsky.social•23 days ago

Which is the only way to make Dutton look like anything. Dutton is jumping on the MAGA wagon, in his way. I don't know if he knows how deep that vehicle of hate goes. For myself, no subs, stupid idea. Get 2000 Aussie troops to Ukraine, to learn and support in the backlines. Cheap, clear signal.

History will reflect dimly on Labor members who should have spoken up and intervened, but didn’t ….

longtimeleftie.bsky.social•24 days ago

Rudd was literally shrinking ... he was obviously wishing the earth would open and swallow him up.

Marles's sycophantic grovelling was OFF THE CHARTS.

BOOT HIM OUT.

Never a Labor man.

vicenvironment.bsky.social•24 days ago

Rudd’s guilty, he could have quit or spoken out but didn’t - another Career grifter like Wong . Marles is just a right wing prick

dietervallois.bsky.social•24 days ago

I will never forgive Labor for this absolute failure to put Australians first

Bending the knee to Trumpet is beyond comprehension

It’s sad and embarrassing.

simonsq.bsky.social•24 days ago

Our blood money to protect the king...no doubt the joke is on us!

blshiv.bsky.social•24 days ago

Embarrassing. Incompetent.

ani19.bsky.social•24 days ago

It may help us avoid tariffs for a little while, not that we sell an awful lot to them…

superlanyard.bsky.social•24 days ago

Australia shouldn’t allow Americans in their country until Trump is dead or in prison.

carlosamammal.bsky.social•23 days ago

That money was earmarked.

carlosamammal.bsky.social•24 days ago

He's only being nice cos they're from the birthplace of Hitler.

carlosamammal.bsky.social•24 days ago

Did Hegseth compliment them on their good English?

laine132.bsky.social•23 days ago

I thought the same - Rudd looked like he was dying inside!

longtimeleftie.bsky.social•23 days ago

He was cringing! Collapsing into a ball like a defensive hedgehog.

pjnsw.bsky.social•24 days ago

Imagine what over 300 billion dollars of tax payers money could do…if it wasn’t wasted on an outdated technology to appease Washington.
Shameful.

missconniebrooks.bsky.social•24 days ago

And Hegseth was reading basic mundane chit chat from a cheat sheet. Mortifying for Rudd.

longtimeleftie.bsky.social•24 days ago

Hegseth couldn't find Australia on a map even if someone else was clearly pointing to it. Mortifying to be financially propping up these absolute DUNCES.

jambinujag.bsky.social•24 days ago

Does anyone think Trump will honor the Aukus deal and build subs (with his non-DEI workforce?)?
Or do they think he'll just pocket the $billions?

lesliee112.bsky.social•24 days ago

Of course he’ll pocket it.
