We all love to hate certain politicians and their enablers, but I'm struggling to find, in Australia, a more despicable piece of shit than James Ashby. And that really says something given who is boss is. #OneNation

The most surprising thing about Trump is that we still seem to get surprised at what he says and does.

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country. Nobody takes it seriously.

Incredible to think, living in a western country, that news of one-big-mac-too-many would be celebrated with greater zeal than that of fellow evil bastard, Putin.

That is so well put! Sadly, instead of waking each morning with a sense of hope, I now hope for an obituary.

Colour me shocked that an anti-LGBT, pro-life, maggoted moron - who voted against making lynching a federal hate crime - is also a misogynist. Go get him AOC.

I remember as a kid there was this little shit that lived nearby. Mum kept on saying to give him a pass because he’d had a ‘hard life’. But he still kept bullying smaller children, time after time. Always think of that kid whenever I see Israel has bombed another building full of woman and children.

Whom to believe? 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/w...

Almost impossible to set the bar any lower, yet millions would still vote for him. What a sad indictment on the education system.

Since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, President Trump has made contradictory statements about the U.S.'s strategy for the war. Read more about what Trump said his aims were hours after those attacks and where the war stands now: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

What do you call 'em over there? They're known as Labor Rats down under.

How is there not a Jonestown every other day in the US? Saving grace for the maggots is that most grifters aren't into self harm.

😆

That may well be the most applicable commentary I've read in quite some time. The scariest humans on earth are those that despise everyone that isn't like them.

I'm not really a betting man Fugitive but it's short odds that if Jesus comes back for a second crack, he'll get killed again ... by christians!

Difficult to argue that the incumbents aren't stale and blunder prone, but how would you seriously vote for the other mob? Serious question ... how many other oppositions with that much internal fighting in an election year have gone on to lead successful governments?

All good here thanks Fugitive : actually a bit bloody cool here today - winter is comin' (then again, it is Victoria so it could be a heat wave by this afternoon 😀)

15k followers! Always said cream rises to the surface!! 😀 Can't get over Cliff will turn 86 this year.

I'd be willing to bet that Trump wouldn't know Albo's name unless reminded and probably struggle to pick out Australia on a map. Might have been different if Epstein had a guest house here.

I know we're all a little worried as to where AI is going to take us, but this is very good ... youtube.com/shorts/4kRf4...

Good thing I got the follow early because I can barely handle a mild Chilli Con Carne and the closest I've got to 'Spicy' in decades is accidentally watching Wannabe on YouTube!

I'm duty bound to cheer on the Matildas tomorrow but full marks to the Japanese coach for his : "it's like a bee explaining to a fly why honey tastes better than shit". How did I make it to nearly 70 before hearing that one before??

No, but I like the way you're thinking Fugitive : would make a great name for a band :)

Well, I certainly tumbled 😆 Didn't have a clue who he was!

I hope I'm wrong, but I think when we get to April, we're going to consider March to be a great month by comparison. I'm one of those that believe the world would be a lot better place if Trump drops off the perch today, but we're still going to feel the ramifications for years to come.

Watching Marles on 7.30 ... seriously, is there anyone out there that considers him a good media performer? Fuck, it worries me that he's only a heartbeat away from the top job (if so, for hopefully less days than Frank Forde!).

I wonder how the good folk of Maranoa feel about their representative having run out of energy when there is still 2 years to run on his term?

Definitely put a tick in the plus column when it comes to the Fugitive! I'm sure you'll have a good time in Oz, Rob. And don't worry, you'll find plenty of opportunities to lose golf balls down under!!

Always reminds of that one bloke who used to turn up to gatherings, brag about how good he was, then, after pissing off, everyone would say what a wanker he is! Makes you wonder what the world has turned into if this dipshit is considered an 'influencer'.

😆

Botox and toxic ...

Why am I reminded of General Dreedle and Moodus from Catch 22?

How many more countries is Israel allowed to invade before any form of criticism isn't deemed anti-semitic?

Thanks Magical ... had forgotten about Thiel! Good idea by the way re the submersible :)

Spent a good part of the day watching Trump's war, the mini series on Fox creator Roger Ailes and now the Epstein files on ABC ... and we're worried about whether there are any good Muslims?

An oldie but a goldie! Never realised he was born in Egypt and took his stage name from the explorer.

LOL. Someone has leaked the damaging secret review. Dutton blaming others for his abject defeat. Hume and Taylor fingered for their gaffes. Price nailed for her dumb MAGA plagiarism. Looks like they’ve learned nothing. Struggling Albo must thank his lucky stars www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

The only way you could get me to watch the state of the union tonight is if there reliable proof that Trump were going to be arrested on camera for the rape of a 13-year-old child charges.

I've seen clips of previous state of the union addresses and they must be among the biggest wankfests of all time. And some of those were from presidents I admired. As for listening to Trump for an hour straight, I'd rather put certain body parts through a grinder.

What a legacy for those three : clearly all in privileged positions yet make their mark by spreading hate and division.

😆 Ah, I've got much more hope for you Fugitive : reckon you're just getting warmed up!

Thanks Fugitive ... and yes, the big seven-oh later in the year. Like to say I'm wiser, but that's probably a myth. Enjoyed the journey though and the vast majority of fellow travellers.

True : many of us still cringe about the Australian PM's kiss arse "all the way with LBJ" and that was back in the 60s. A year later said PM drowned when he went out for a paddle in rough surf and we named a swimming pool after him, so not sure what that says about us!

Done. Haven't steered me wrong with any of your recommendations yet!!

Geez, poor lucagalletti sounds like he's getting a raw deal. Did he kill your dog or something?

We like to think we're different - and at least the current government isn't quite the slathering lap dog like its predecessor - we will all still come running when the US whistles. Same old, same old, but really hurts when you see the fucker who is running the kennel.

She really is a voice for the age and look forward to reading it. Don't think it'll be a big seller in Toorak or Vaucluse though 😀

That's gold! I always loved that line in the movie Snatch where the greyhound is chasing the hare ... "what, proper fucked".

"Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst". My hope is that the old homophobes, racists and misogynists die out sooner rather than later, but I fear there are still so many demons. Stay forever young Fugitive!

😂 I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld ... I can say, hand on heart, that I haven't gotten drunk for the last 30 years but more than made up for it the previous 20!! Was never a mean drunk either, but given that I'm loud without a drink, chances are I was VERY loud!
