Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

beyond parody -- Trump, through Karoline Leavitt, announces he'll make his decision about whether to strike Iran "within the next two weeks"

When reporting Israel's attacks on Iran it's important journalists remember Israel is a genocidal state, whose armed forces in the past 2yrs have murdered tens of thousands of civilians, many of whom were children and babies. So maybe not treat everything they say with total credulity

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Marles: "the review that’s been announced is not a surprise, we’ve been aware of this for some time. We welcome it, it’s something which is perfectly natural for an incoming administration to do" And yet the ALP govt itself DID NOT DO IT. Absolute maladministration.

Scott Morrison is almost certainly one of the “Robodebt Six” referred to the NACC for criminal and civil action. In Australia we don’t pursue him: we rig the NACC, refuse to investigate…then award him with honours. “Decision” still nowhere… (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/government-r...

Too often the political/bureaucratic/business elite nominate each other for top awards as part of their rations. If Scott Morrison gets an AC, it will completely undermine our honours system. He is a singularly most unworthy candidate. #BackScratch #auspol

What a crying shame. The viewing platform above Diggers Beach in Coffs Harbour being dismantled. The front section collapsed last week after erosion of the supporting dune, exposing its supporting pylons. It's provided joy, serenity, seating, shelter and beach access for all for many years.

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

I wanted a minority Labor Govt that had to listen to the Greens and the Teal independents. The Albanese Labor Govt's ongoing inaction on the #GazaGenocide, its approval for Woodside's #NorthWestShelf project, and continued support for #AUKUS are just 3 reasons. 😔 #auspol

I remember the first time my dad asked me to punch him in the face. Me and my 27 brothers (no sisters) and their 26 moms were there with me and dad. All 55 of us were just wrasslin. "Let me have it," dad said. He had been awake since 1991, because of the drugs and blackmail. Weeks later he died.

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

The Liberals have spent 20 years focusing their election campaigns on culture warring and fear mongering against Labor. This is because they do not have any ideological interest in policies that are good for the masses - they only serve a narrow elite constituency. This is the elephant in the room.

Sussan Ley has always looked for a political narrative - the only one which has remained consistent is she doesn’t truly believe in anything. Which makes her perfect to lead the leftover Liberals www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...
