I don’t usually swear or lose my shit, but how dare that f$&king grub of limp-dick in a bad fitting suit with a red tie, even dare suggest that Ukraine started the war!!! He is an absolute disgrace of a human being & has no right being the leader of a preschool. He’s not the leader of my free world!

PART 3- a specified spokesperson for Defence, Immigration, Treasury, National Security, Health etc. I’m sending all of my US friends support & care. Watching DJT & Musk illegally dismantle so many foundational blocks is so sad for such a beautiful country and people. Peace out ✌️

PART 2- Whose responsibility it is to provide the counter or opposition position, policy, argument, statement, to everything the party & leaders in power are espousing, suggesting or actually enacting. I’m NOT stating good/bad/wrong/right styles of governing-I’m saying is this is worth a thought?

PART 1 -Observations from Oz-I know you fought a revolutionary war over NOT having our style of government (Oz=Australian)-but 1 of the key discussions atm is “where/what are the Dems doing”? Losing an election here means you’re in Opposition & have Opposition/Shadow Ministers for EVERY portfolio.

@mmpadellan.bsky.social hey “Brooklyn Dad Defiant”, just wanted to let you know that even in Aus I still got to hear you on @stephaniemiller.bsky.social “SM Happy Hour” podcast 👍 Great listening, thank you both for your voices & actions! Genuinely appreciated 🙏

Biden ⬇️ costs for a range of prescription drugs e.g. insulin for diabetes. Then DJT does this! Did anyone vote for this? My answer - unfortunately if you voted for him, you DID vote for this. Now’s your chance to raise your voice & say, “I didn’t vote for THIS”! open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

For those who say there’s nothing dangerous, Machiavellian, autocratic about this person-His remark about “visiting the crash site, in the water” b4 they’d finished retrieving bodies-abhorrent! Thanks @theyoungturks.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/64pB... open.spotify.com/episode/47Gy...

bsky.app/profile/linc... Couldn’t have said it better myself! Michael Fanone-people recognise TRUE courage, honour, respect, integrity & sacrifice & you exemplify all of those & much more! You’ve maintained your dignity & stood as an example of what speaking truth to power looks like, thank you 🙏

PART 3- But trying to go with the “I/we need to laugh when we can”, listening to the @meiselasb.bsky.social describe the chronological order of events with DJT’s “delegation” to Xi JiPing while Ji Ping & Putin’s are actually on a call, one of the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time 🙏😂

submitted 37 days ago • 0 comments

PART 2- What concerns me though is the potentially catastrophic consequences of JiPing/Putin discussions! Being an Aussie, an emboldened Ji Ping with a POTUS & Sec Def who don’t know the difference between ASEAN & APEC-& doesn’t care… not good..

PART 1 - 100% recognition of/to @bmeiselas.bsky.social & @meidastouch.com! I hope sharing is ok-I wanted to share your amazing work! Geopolitically DJT plays checkers while Jiping, Putin show him the real “board” they’re playing on-he’s still trying to open the box 🤔 open.spotify.com/episode/3Wos...

The LACK of knowledge of an Australian mainstream, TV commentator with regard to the danger of DJT - “I think it was funny” - his comments regarding DJT’s speeches! I’m sorry we don’t have someone who know “sh!t from Clay” Re US Politics commentating on the Inauguration on our breakfast TV 🙏

PT2 - he blocked the bipartisan border deal b4 the election, bc his little man syndrome boss DJT, said “don’t fix the border, I want chaos to run on during the election, & while the legislation wouldn’t solve everything on the border, it would’ve taken it off the able for Trump - so spineless!

How the f$&k does Speaker(less) Mike Johnson say on Fox & Friends that “Biden’s wide open border’s” responsible for the DOMESTIC TERROR attack in New Orleans? Terrorist was born in Texas & served in the US Military! What a lying, grubby LITTLE MAN! Johnson’s also the gutless grub who blocked… PT1

Just to finish my thought - if you can’t/won’t answer 2 x simple questions, you shouldn’t be invited on any panel! - Did Trump lose the 2020 election? And, - Was Jan 6 an act of violence & an insurrection? Not hard questions really - pretty simple 1 word “Yes” to both. McCarthy & Conway would fail!

submitted 77 days ago • 0 comments

This gives such a good insight into the gutters the likes of Kevin McCarthy & Kellyanne Conway live in & try & drag others into! They can’t win an argument, so they lie, talk over, demean, insult, & lie even more! My question-why are they even on the panel? open.spotify.com/episode/2cnq...

FINALLY 5/5 So when he finished, a dark brown crater, definitely wasn’t “cosmetic!🫣I know I said it’s a practical thing,but I didn’t mean, “scrape that mole off, leave as big a crater as you can & make it look like a rat did gnaw it off my face”!! 🤫😝 In case you forgot… youtu.be/xEt5dEOcW0I

PART 4/4/5 For the quarter, he got a rat to gnaw that mole off my face! Good thing I said to him, “I don’t want it removed for cosmetic purposes, it’s a practical thing because I nick it all the time when I shave, so it’s a pain in the ar$e”!

PART 3/ I think now 4 “We need to freeze about a sun spots, mostly on your face mate”, leaving the gorgeous, evolving, red, turning a fugly shade of brown, spots on my face! 😩🤭😂 But “why leave it there”, I hear you say?So I didn’t - I paid him an extra “quarter”and…

PART 2/3 Age, smacks you in the face sometimes when you least expect it… Dermatology appt in your 30’s, “you look good mate, just a couple of freckles we need to be check but that’s about it…🤟As an Aussie child of the 70’s, that’s almost like winning lotto!!! Now it’s Dermatology Appt, age 51 🥺

If you (or anyone 🤦‍♂️) has read a Skeet of mine, you’ll know it takes me a couple to get to my point-verbose & verbal diarrhoea often describe me… So in keeping, this is “Part 1 of 3”. Hopefully gives you a giggle at the end (of pt 3)✌️😂 To start with, I’m so impressed I now know what a “Skeet” is!

I say this with genuine respect for all past-Presidents & the office itself. I love this dude! Was he a perfect President, no. Are any leaders? No. But he had respect, courtesy, integrity, optimism, hope, compassion. Now? Just anger, judgment, “otherism” & cruelty. open.spotify.com/episode/1hT4...

Hey Bluesky folk 🤙Question out loud - HOW the absolute flying f$&k can Kash Patel get anywhere near serious levers of power?? Combine him with DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard, throw in Pete Hegseth & round out with raging white supremacist Miller! As if it already wasn’t $hit is now VERY REAL! Take care

Self described music FANATIC, & drummer, & tattoo lover. (My wife thought I’d grow out of it too 😇) To add to my Foos, Fall Out Boy & Chilli Peppers tattoos, & finish off my sleeve, I’ve started my Taylor Hawkins inspired, Japanese themed hawk. Still a few more hours left, but it’s getting there 🤘♥️

Sorry, one more “apology in advance”. Bc I’m used to seeing people trolled for literally anything/everything they say, to be clear, I also don’t seriously think A LOT of people are “reading my posts”. I just like to share joy or positivity if I can. Whether people see it or not, it’s out there!

Still get used to (& loving) Bluesky, but while I do-I’m an over-apologiser, so I’m apologising in advance because I know my Happy Thanksgiving post was a little late. I still wanted to send you my thoughts & wishes for a peaceful & joyful holiday, however you choose to spend it 🙏

submitted 91 days ago • 0 comments

If you read my posts, you know I spend A LOT of time (genuinely) worrying about the US, DJT bringing his apocalyptic world view to life & its impact on you all. With that in mind, I wanted to wish EVERYONE in the US a Happy Thanksgiving 🙏Whether you agree with me or not-have a peaceful holiday

submitted 91 days ago • 0 comments

Right now, with all that’s happening across the world, my biggest wish or hope is - for everyone to have/find their own joy, escapism, their individual peace. I know how easy this is for an Australian white, sis, heterosexual, male to say & I don’t take it for granted. I’m “wishing out loud” 🙏

Any drummer that has the chops and skills to drum for; Sublime With Rome, Nine Inch Nails, Guns & Roses, Devo, The Vandals, A Perfect Circle And then jumps into Taylor’s shoes, is one hell of a drummer & from what I know now, one hell of a dude 🥁🤘I love drumming & the pure escapism I get 🙏♥️

I’m trying to share some “this brings me joy”, & not just “US politics”… 🫣🥵 Anyway, being a drummer, massive Foos fan, love Dave G & Taylor Hawkins was my favourite drummer, ever! So I had mixed feelings when I saw Foos with Josh Freese but… He is an absolute freak! And… youtu.be/5uT5HVWjcqs?...

Just to add my noms for album of the year - they’re coming from a bloke who’s favourite bands are Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Nothing But Thieves & Chilli Peppers 🤘 So it’s been such a fun journey this year to REALLY enjoy albums from completely different artists! Peace out ✌️

Really enjoying Bluesky but I’ve posted US politics & nothing else. So I thought I’d share what brings me the most joy (with the exception of my beautiful wife & fur babies), MUSIC!! So a little early but, my “noms” for album of the year are… open.spotify.com/album/7Cmagk... (Great Aussie band!)

With ALL caveats required (AUS def need US geopolitically, defensively etc). I’d still love our politicians to “diplomatically” show SOME integrity, honesty, clarity of morality, AUS values & respect to our intelligence, when asked about Trump’s abhorrent policies & nominations.

I’m not naive enough to believe they will, OR that it’s an easy needle to thread, AT ALL, however…

Seeing Trump & Musk today, EXACTLY the same as Soviet era or Nth Korean Dictators with their Generals, watching warheads take off. I’ll keep saying it, serious, scary & troubling! Coincidentally Nth Korea can reach our shores + Nth Korea are in Ukraine!! www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01...

PART 2. So I def expected some trolling after sharing some of my pro-democracy/anti-authoritarian views. A fantastic feeling to log on & see only support! Go Blue Sky community! Sharing joy, hope, kindness & empathy is so needed atm, but unfortunately hate is easier. Me, I’m a sucker for hard work 😁

Hey all, hope everyone’s well 🙏 I want to say a massive thank you to the creators & team @bsky.app & to the amazing crowd on here! I’m an Aussie who’s opinionated about US (& global) politics. I shared some thoughts yesterday & logged in today expecting at least some moderate trolling… NONE AT ALL 👍

@thesadmall.bsky.social - hey guys (& just to clarify, we Aussies use “guys” as a very gender generic term - there is NEVER any offense meant by it 🙏). Look forward to following you & enjoying the Blue Sky ride!! Left “The Musk Filez” platform years ago, now so much clearer why! Rock on 🤘
