11 weeks apart. They were willing to overlook the lies, Jan 6th, fraud, the arrest, the charges & the rape to celebrate his return to the White House. Now they feign surprise that the sociopath we all warned was a sociopath is indeed still a sociopath.

It’s interesting to note that Janet, concerned citizen in the audience on QandA on Monday, who grilled Albo abt “not doing enough abt antisemitism in Australia” - is a Lib campaigner for Tim Wilson. .. which, of course, true to sneaky lib branding, wasn’t divulged for the QandA episode.

Trump’s proposal on Gaza is not just obscene—it is dangerous. While some may dismiss his comments as absurd, they must be called out for what they are: a blatant disregard for international law. Trump’s comments on Gaza and sharing of a repulsive AI video must be condemned in the strongest terms.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Australia's formerly government owned airline posts a profit of over $1 billion, while it's competitor gets acquired by the state-owned airline of another country. Meanwhile everyone agrees domestic air travel has never been worse, or more expensive. Dumb, dumb country.

Re Lattouf v ABC. It’s regrettable that Federal Court Judge Rangiah has put a 10 year suppression order on identifying complainants who pressured Ita Buttrose/ABC to sack her. Security first understandable. But any ‘gaming’ of complaints process is relevant here. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

The same Janet who was a questioner on #qanda Monday, which media is reporting, without context of being a Liberal campaigner for Tim Wilson, "slamming" PM Albanese - here photographed as part of the inner circle of Tim's campaign team. Apparently nothing to see here? It's a poor look. #auspol

This was what history in our schools. White men were the heroes. Not until later, I realized there are no heroes, history is about all facts. And you find what really happened. This is real stuff.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

For me, not using your vehicle's turn signal is a lot like not returning the shopping cart in that I think you're a beast who doesn't deserve to live in society. Like you can't literally lift a finger to make the roads safer for yourself and everyone else? Go live in the woods and drink creek water.
