If they declare martial law in the US are we still friends with them? Do we keep the FBI office in Wellington? Weâve just undermined our elections with the passing of the Electoral Amendment Bill, following the US blueprint - the threat is real, and the next election the most consequential to date.

"They want an excuse to fire on protesters." "They're looking for a reason to declare martial law. Don't..." Ah. See, they're already doing and saying whatever they want. They're putting people in camps and murdering people at will. Our behavior doesn't drive theirs.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Liam finishes by banging on about improving productivity. Easily said, but real change will rely on Govt & businesses actually investing in things that drive those improvements. Little sign of that - we're pouring billions into roads so that boomers can drive more quickly to baches. [Ends]

Total disproven bullshit. Inflation went up everywhere regardless of $ growth (loan growth âĄď¸ $ growth). [3/n]

The actual answer is that the US Govt basically backstops the banks and investors. This means that folks with existing mortgages don't get spanked by interest rate rises. It's a key reason the US economy didn't slump when interest rates were hiked. Is that what Liam said? No, he made some stuff up.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

Labour put out a good statement about the Venezuela attack, so someone's there. But they've said nothing about this, and in particular Hipkins has been silent. The opposition leader needs to call out the PM for begrudging regular people their vacations while being away himself!

So obviously Luxon being MIA is deeply weird and embarrassing, especially after his whole "kiwis don't work hard enough, I'll be back in Jan 3" nonsense. But it's only going to become an issue if the opposition hammers him about it! The media won't do it by themselves. And Hipkins is just as MIA...
