I’m afraid if you want the rest of the world to buy more of your shit you have to do one of two things. A) Have standards that make it not shit, which means regulation. B) Undercut prices, which means paying your workers next to nothing. Bonus option: AI automation and put everyone out of work.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

According to one NZ economist the results of the Trump Tariffs is a big net negative for Americans and pretty decent positive boost for New Zealand. Thanks for the help Trump. #nzpol #nz #aotearoa www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-...

Then, in 2016 (and again in 2024), for reasons unknown to mankind, they elected Trump.

What's the bet they just found a list of territories (not countries), slapped it in G-Sheets and just skipped merrily down the right column tapping in numbers that 'felt' right.

Goebbels famously said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.” Except he didn't. The irony is too perfect.

It should be abundantly clear by now. Americans don’t want decorum. They want someone outspoken who gives zero fucks about being polite. And I maintain that the first Democrat who can do that authentically and consistently with a clear positive vision, will lead either the country or the revolution.

Don’t know if there’s many boxing fans here but Joseph Parker (kiwi heavyweight) has the best call-outs of all time. A lesson in masculinity for all the ‘alphas’ out there.

So imagine being stuck in space for almost a full year and then you finally splash down, open the hatch and are greeted by a pod of dolphins. I don’t care who you are, that’s just fucking beautiful.

Attention all US lawyers, lawmakers and policy professionals. When you get home tonight, may I recommend a small Australian film called ‘The Castle’ for a pinch of inspiration (and a bit of a laugh).

I swear we are less than 2 years away from “Well Europe was ours after the last world war. We took it. We paid to defend it. We’re just taking it back.”

Someone else has probably already posted this here but Joint European Defence Initiative would be JEDI for short. Just sayin… A JEDI council wouldn’t be the worst idea.

The sooner you realise someone is not your friend and has no intention of being your friend, the sooner you can stop wasting your time, energy and resources. Kowtowing to Trump et al is a net loss.
