If it wasn't for Donald Trump & his antics I'd be digging Dandelions out of my lawns all day (almost). Apart from everything else, he's responsible for the Dandelions that infest my lawns. I'm winning the Dandelion battle. When I'm done, look out Trumpy. 🤬

It's clear that Elbit Systems has history as part of Israel's genocide-industrial complex. Australia's continued dealings with them are probably illegal, and certainly immoral. #GazaGenocide #auspol [Thanks @pj54321.bsky.social for this link] michaelwest.com.au/elbit-how-au...

Israel IDF has destroyed block after block of Gaza Strip in its battle against Hamas, killed God knows how many civilians, men, women, children, babies. So far I've seen one (rpt one) Hamas fighter killed, blown up by an IDF tank shell. Where are the prisoners & bodies of this 'phantom' army?

What mystifies me abt war in Gaza is the lack of Hamas prisoners, wounded in battle or wrapped corpses of Hamas fighters. I see dozens of Gazan dead on tv every day. So far I've seen one Hamas fighter discovered by a drone & blown up by an IDF tank shell. Looks more like war on Gazans than Hamas.

@paulobear.bsky.social Hi Paul. Interested in your search for a leader to introduce world peace. Please keep me informed.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

In a speech to UN General Assembly, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for armed intervention in Palestine. www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/...

Humpty Trumpty (aka The Boy Who Cried Wolf) wants EU to buy US-made arms & ammo & give them to Ukraine to beat off Russian invasion. Very transactional, very profitable for USA. It's also a sign Humpty doesn't want this war to end. Likewise Gaza. Arms industry is the enemy of Peace.

The only way to beat a bully is to stand up to him or her. Brave schoolchildren know this. So do adult politicians but, somehow, it seems career prospects are far more important. Anxious to see how Oz Labor PM Albanese handles meeting with blustering, bullshitting, bully boy Donald Trump.

While Donald Trump is re-enacting the role of Humpty Dumpty (*a word means what I choose it to mean*), he's also carrying on like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. You know what happened to that prankster. World leaders & commentators hv noticed Trump is erratic, unreliable, a liar (7 wars) & untrustworthy.

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision. The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress. ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees. The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

Hastie is the next-in-line, post-Howard, cut-out, wannbe empty suit with nothing original or worthwhile to offer. He'll be carried aloft by the rightwing media and presented as THE GOLDEN ONE for as long as they can maintain the illusion. The party death he is worried about ⬇️ has already happened.

I'm sure LNP leader Peter Dutton running right off the rails cost LNP the 2025 election. Was there perhaps also a memory of the Morrison/Tudge roles in #Robodebt, which possibly cost LNP the 2022 election? Conservatives incapable of balanced governance, Donald Trump being best example.

Our govt giving away $215bn whilst imposing more pressure on pensioners... oh yeah... that's a vote winner 🙄 @jimchalmers.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social #AusPol #Ausnews australiainstitute.org.au/post/great-g...

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... In July 2023 the royal commission’s report labelled the scheme “crude and cruel”, “neither fair nor legal” and a “costly failure of public administration”...yet no-one has been held accountable!! The NACC has been a failure, its Commissioner must be sacked.

The Trump Administration is CENSORING Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights She says the US blocked her from presenting findings on abuses in Palestine. VERY disappointing, since Trump just bragged about "Free Speech" during his UN lecture

Sums #Trump up beautifully. #UNSpeech #auspol #aupol #cockwomble

US has vetoed 49 UN resolutions on Israel since 1948, blocking ceasefire calls & shielding war crimes. Result: unchecked land theft, ethnic cleansing & mass killings—680k Palestinians dead in 2 yrs, half children under 5. #Genocide #Palestine

What a debacle by the ABC. Its craven capitulation to shady lobbyists acting for a genocidal foreign state besmirched the reputation of a principled journalist, cost the Australian taxpayer close to $500K in damages & legal costs and further trashed the public broadcaster’s reputation.

"If you want peace, prepare for war." A phrase as old as late ancient Roman empire. Obviously a scam because warfare is almost constant. *Human activity, inc fossil fuel use, is leading to global warming.* Proven by science. No scam. But where is most money being spent?

#Robodebt was facilitated by senior public servants & branch managers in Dpt Human Services (inc Centrelink) during successive LNP govts. Staff complaining of illegality were told to get with it, or resign. It's what happens when govts appoint lackeys & sycophants. Happening in Trump Admin now.

I had forgotten the role of Alan Tudge in #Robodebt scandal. He told the Royal Commission he was responsible for #Robodebt's administration, not its legality. After resigning from LNP fedgovt he joined investment banker Goldman Sachs as a senior advisor.

White House is begging hundreds of office managers fired by Elon Musk’s DOGE to come back to work

Half the world has gone mad following Humpty Trumpty to Dog knows where. The other half has gone mad trying to cope with Humpty's madness. I'm going home, to pull more Dandelions out of my lawns.

I giggled. 😁

Free speech folks! Latest example: Fox News host Jesse Watters suggests UN HQ should be bombed for the failure of elevator stairs delivering Trump [to his loony address to UN General Assembly]. (USA shd never hv allowed merger of Hollywood & Disneyland. Look what it's led to.)

Who is benefiting from constant tension & aggravation between communist & capitalist nations? What purpose does teetering on edge of crisis serve? Leaders wouldn't manufacture tension just to maintain themselves in power, would they? Actually, they would.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

Still no Rapture? If only the Lord were as punctual as He is wrathful. Glory!

Trump Admin is waging a culture war on Europe, promoting MAGA or Heritage Foundation agenda (Project 2025). www.msn.com/en-au/news/w...

Donald Trump's address to UN delegates was for a different audience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Shame on UN General Assembly delegates, listening in silence to Trump's loony address. Some of them at least shd hv walked out, refusing to listen to the tyrant. Patronising him only encourages the dangerous clown.

Remember when LNP treasurer Joe Hockey denied GMH & Ford renewal of subsidies & virtually told them to bugger off to where they came from? Well, aspiring LNP PM Andrew Hastie reckons Australia shd be building motor cars. Liberals go for a spin in mixing bowl, trying to sort themselves out.

I don't know what Donald Trump's mother used for pain relief during her pregnancy, but it wasn't Tylenol. Whatever it was it might hv bn responsible for Trump turning out to be a sociopath, a narcissist, a tyrant, a megalomaniac, Xenophobic & etc, etc, etc.

Washington Post reporter claims a text from a senior UN delegate says "Trump is stark raving mad. Can't people see how embarrassing it is?" When Trump first appeared at UN in 2020 delegates laughed at his speech. This time they listened attentively, probably fearful of his tariff regime.

It's just possible that Trumpty Dumpty's bungling of one thing after another & the protests & reactions & backtracking back to 'normal' might create a better world (or at least not a worse one). Can you see how that might happen? Jimmy Kimmel's tv show being re-instated is an example.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

This is actually the most normal thing you can say at a funeral

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow. This is an important victory for free speech. Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself. Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

Still waiting for Trumpty Dumpty to annex Canada, probably by Executive Order. Next comes Panama (just the canal), Greenland, Bagram airbase (in hostile Afghanistan), probably Gaza Strip & maybe half of New Zealand or all of Tasmania -- for balance. You cd be next (lucky you).

Scroll through the thread, enjoy the read. Dumb Trump Admin gets dumber & dumber. I thought this sort of ultraConservatism died out after 1945.

It's the dumbest play in The Playbook of this Administration

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.

America is not quite a fascist state, but it’s only a drumbeat away. theaimn.net/trump-and-th...
