If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Waiter! There’s a beetle in my water.

I ordered room service for one and someone is pissed

The Coalition is nervous about Scott Morrison putting himself about in the last 2 months, trying to position himself for a gig if Dutton is successful The Coalition knows that Morrison is extremely toxic The Nationals have already confined BeetRooter to his seat during the election campaign

Eavesdropping on the guy a table away moaning about how everyone never gives him the time of the day, after witnessing the same guy be a sarcastic prick to the 18 year old bartender about the cans of coke in their fridge not being at freezing point not ten minutes earlier, has strangely made my day.

Can you imagine what Dutton will do Medicare if he ever became PM #auspol

‘We’re clearly heading towards collapse’: why the Murdoch empire is about to go bang. Oh no, how terrible for them 🙄 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

This is an inaccurate rendering of the situation. We´re way past worrying the US would « scale back » support! The worry is the US is allying w russia not negotiating w them. apple.news/ASltiwYfOS8y...

Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov", claims a former Soviet intelligence officer. uk.news.yahoo.com/donald-trump...?

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

SPOILER ALERT “Captain America: Brave New World” is a movie about a red-orange tinged monster President that cannot control his rage and destroys the White House & embarrasses the nation. He ends up doing the right thing when confronted by a black man. My review: ridiculous & unrelatable

‘Donald Trump Recruited as Moscow Asset,’ Says Ex-KGB Spy Chief Former Soviet intelligence officer Alnur Mussayev reveals Moscow recruited Donald Trump in 1987. For decades, Trump has been groomed as a Russian asset, operating under the codename “Krasnov” — which means…

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the #SundayShot this morning! For those who slept in (or struggle to break their #insiders addiction!), the livestream recording will be up shortly on YouTube for catch-up viewing of our great discussion with @joshbornstein.bsky.social and @janecaro.bsky.social.

Weird how good policy that helps people is also good politics. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Another Dutton version of kicking the can down the road, it will be some other governments problem as peoples health fails because they can't afford to see a Doctor #auspol

Labor hasn’t delivered on more effective nature laws. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s calamitous | Tim Winton

"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

“This is organised crime!” Shane Wright tells David Speers/ABC Insiders Trump’s demand to take 50% of Ukraine’s critical minerals, oil/gas reserves in return for US “protection” is criminal conduct .. not foreign policy or mutual defence agreements.

This is 100% correct — I have heard the Silicon Valley money guys admit as much out loud, about *all* of these fools.

Dutton, the LNP's cut-price Temu Trump, tried to kill Medicare bulk-billing in 2014 by introducing a co-payment making everyone pay. When the Senate stopped that, the LNP froze the rebate payment to GPs for next 9 years, thus forcing GPs to charge their patients hefty consultation fees. #auspol

Sacrifice, live in disaster-prone isolated places, access housing schemes. What a pile of shit. These pieces fail to get the reality of Australia’s housing affordability crisis: people over 40, with kids and ineligible for housing grants are screwed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Jim Chalmers not convinced of Angus’ claim they won’t cut bulk billing reminds when Dutton came after Medicare as Health Min & slams the “shameful” veterans backlog left behind “U can’t pay $600bill in nuclear reactors w/out coming after Medicare again like he did last time” youtu.be/QUDmZ2nGKw4?...
