Had to write about Angus King's declaration that "standing up to Trump didn't work" because I've never heard anything bleaker in my life. badfaithtimes.com/were-not-ask...

Is Grijalva there yet? Is Grijalva there yet?

So. Is Grijalva sworn in yet?

Guessing the same people who 'updated' the BOM website are also responsible for the 'updates' on the Australia Post site? Did Elon have something to do with them, cos they're about as great as an exploding rocket. They're more difficult to use, and provide less information. Well done guys.

A guy whose family stole money from a kids cancer charity is President, and he has them working for him.

The BBC should get him on to apologise and grovel to him, and do an interview. Then hit him with actual questions that allow himself to look like the maggot he is. " Mr President, magnets...... truth or fiction?"

Trump is going to sue the BBC for editing an interview with him to slightly misconstrue what the lying piece of shit said. Ear wound Trump? I was at ground zero Trump? Kids cancer charity Trump? Golf champion Trump?THIS TRUMP!!!

Some woman on NBC 'Today'-- rabbiting on about how a 'Democrat' made the point they voted to end the shutdown because it wasn't working to put pressure on the GOP. Did go on to say some disagree. BUT, the main point is to justify collaboration with FKing Nazis!

Thing about the US. Even when they step towards intelligent, serious governance, just can't help but pander to stupidity and make it personal worship. Thereby making it more open to attack. NEVER EVER should have been called Obamacare! Look around the world. National Health Service for example.

Dear US. If you have 35% of the people willing to turn out vote for a fascist cult. 40% willing to turn out to vote AGAINST a fascist cult. And the remainder not giving enough of a shit to vote at all, you do NOT have 35% of the people backing the fascists. You have 60% backing the fascists!

So. I bought some things at Big W. I don't have a loyalty card etc. Now I'm getting Big W advertising on my phone, directly relating to the items I bought. I only bought them once, not regularly. So- is this sort of tracking allowed in Australia? How do they link my credit card to my phone/internet?

2/2 lack of activism after publication of the book. She said herself that she couldn't face the intense publicity again. Has he seen the US, the loonies there. Can he imagine the hatred and genuine fear she'd have endured? Oh-and why are you still on X according to your site, Russell? Really?

1/2 I quite like British comedian Russel Kane. But I just heard him discussing Harper Lee and 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' with some others on the radio. I'm surprised he didn't think more about what it must have been like in the US at that time, for the author of that book, before tut tutting about her

How is refusing to certify a duly elected member--- even legal???

Meanwhile RFK Jr Health Secretary, runs off to find one of those electrical thingummyjigs for getting hearts started, that all them so called 'experts' who no one can trust, invented, that have saved thousands of lives. What would they know! (PS That's NOT what he was doing)

Gonna have to explain how this guy, who just voted himself a trillionaire-- who proudly flashes zeig heil signs--is (A) even allowed to trade ANYTHING in civilized countries and (B) is NOT a full blown fascist hate monger willing to preside over any horrific crimes against humanity as he sees fit!

The US. Where something like a third of eligible voters bothering to vote in a seemingly crucial election for the very soul of Democracy--- is seen as an amazing win! Great that the Dems won and all---- but two thirds of the people not bothering would have me weeping!

So. Dems win elections all over the show. At what point do they get called vicious, Marxist riots and the National Guard goes in. I'm saying---- 3....2...1...

When a democracy is forced into all of this redistricting nonsense, just to have a chance of ethical government, you just know there is a LOT of work to do fixing the insane rules!

I note many Americans here are reacting to news of Dick Cheney's death about the way Brits reacted when Thatcher died.

MAGATS at Trump's insane Gatsby party--- getting some toast with expensive Russian caviar on it --- "UUGHH, what IS this shit! Tastes like salty fish eggs!!! Where's the cheeseburgers?"

These obvious mass murders of people in boats at the direct behest of the US President, to further his political propaganda- SHOULD provoke universal international condemnation, to the point of arrest warrants in any UN country at least. How it is not the epitome of terrorist activity is beyond me!

To be fair, a lot of this stuff only happened since religion went all woke. These Republicans can do whatever, wait until two minutes before they croak, go, "Ooops. Sorry bout that"- and its all "Fair enough, Gates of heaven are open, in you come!" -- in the good old days, they'd be covered in boils

What amazes me is that, despite being used so often, no one has come up with an actual name for x- rays. OK, so they used to be rays, but surely they're STILL something?

Anyone going to Halloween dressed as whatever the latest Microsoft operating system is?

What makes you feel REALLY old? Have young German travellers stay at your place in the Noosa Hinterland in Australia. Tell them you were in Berlin when the wall came down. Them-- "Yeh. We weren't born then, but my parents told me it was a pretty big thing." -- Oh, yes, I had a couple more Scotches.

Did I hear correctly. But did Trump, addressing the military onboard a ship in Japan, suggest they be prepared to fire missiles at US cities, because he doesn't want lawless murders in them?

How many wars must a scammer shut down, before you can smell that it's Trump

Ummm. Has ANYBODY, EVER, said the White House needed a ballroom? It's just I heard Trump say people have been demanding it for hundreds of years. ANYBODY?

Hurricane hits the Caribbean. MAGA Christans--- " Y'all see now. That's the Lord working on them there drug dealers!" Same hurricane moves on to the US--- MAGA Christians, " That's them Dems doin the devil's work with their goddam weather machines!" Is there such a word as Geogpocrisy?

Just heard an interview on Australian radio national ABC. Guy explaining how Trump's regime doesn't truly fit the real definition of fascism. Umm. Try again. It most certainly DOES, and leaving out a dozen salient points of definition doesn't make it not so!

Trump is talking about sending troops into Canada to free Ronald Reagan. " Those commie bastards have had him locked up there all this time, and now they're forcing him to do propaganda ads!"

Sorry ass sons a bitches.

So. When Trump realises he can sue America, and win every time---- just musing....

Watch this. Open your eyes to this brutality. ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man. Now share this. Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back. You have power. Even sharing this video exerts that power.

I LOVE people posting about wondering whether Trump might be grifting something for himself out if this ballroom construction--- genuinely wondering! 😂😂😂😂

Raccoonteur....

US citizens. If you're at all concerned about unnecessary destruction of the White House, check out how much land, and what sort of land it is, Trump has ok'd to clearfell, drill baby drill-- dig baby dig. If this sort of thing doesn't affect you, then you deserve every dustbowl that comes your way.

People do realise that Putin has so much on Trump and his family, there is nothing Don won't do. He gets a call, and immediately with no consultation, and despite saying he wouldn't, with no plans, nothing, has part of the White House knocked down for Vlad's amusement.

So. Trump prides himself on returning his salary to the State. (Not even going in to the golfing costs)---And now, he's going to have a quarter of a billion $ given to him, cos of all the hassle of being a President.

KIKI HQ @kikihq.bsky.social

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters. I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes. It makes far more sense to interdict them.

This Halloween, try just ' Trick'--- Cary a lighter and a big can marked 'gasoline'--- fuck capitalism, insist on some form of real human reaction!

Platner. Just emerging outta nowhere!

Lindsay Halligan--LH. Lionel Hutz--LH. More than just coincidence?

Hi, I'm Lindsay ( Lionel Hutz) Halligan. You may know me from such Signal chats as....

East wing of White House taking up space that would be better used as putting green, or, perhaps even a really classy full mini golf facility.

Umm. Can the people just go and demolish a chunk of Mar A Lago? I mean, fairs fair.

So. No one is discussing the fact that Trump had a long talk with Putin on the phone, and a day or two later, he has the White House demolished.

Summarily deciding overnight to demolish part of the White House, after talking to the Russian leader on the phone and completely changing the decision on supplying weapons to the country being attacked by Russia. --- So---- who had it on their Bingo card?
