Is ABC biased? Just saw a piece on the One Nation gathering in Tamworth and they didn't show a single person of colour??

Will I ever live to see the day when someone is interviewed at an Australia rally who doesn't start off by saying "I'm not a racist ..."

😆

Well, you're my movie maven so might have to give that one a miss 😀

All good here thanks Fugitive - hope the same applies to you ... Jess's profile is : @jessicaperthwa.bsky.social Could never bring myself to watch Australia although I'm a big fan of Hugh Jackman (maybe not as big a fan as you 😀) and looking forward to his upcoming movie Song Sung Blue.

That's a fair call Jack!

Can't say for sure that royal commentators / 'watchers' are the greatest wankers on the planet, but they have to be in the top 2?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Former general?

I’m a great believer in objectivity but if you watch this and don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, then you’re just a fucking idiot.

😂

Did get a surprise in the early days of BlueSky when I made what I thought to be a very supportive comment regarding domestic violence, only to get a rip-me-a-new-one reply and then a block? Somehow managed to move on with my life, but new dimension to the ‘argument in an empty lift’ syndrome.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

So many “leaders” caving. Integrity has died.

Normally love watching golf but can't bring myself to tune in to the Ryder Cup for long : golfers from either team cop plenty of stick on both sides of the Atlantic, but when they start cheering for shots to go in the bunker, they're just arseholes. Speaking of arseholes ... Bryson deChambeau.

Sadly, we're pulling out all stops to kiss that fat, orange arse : incredibly, the PM has been copping flak for not securing a meeting with Trump, whereas if I see a piece of dogshit on the footpath, I walk around it.

Clearly the real tragedy is that there are no elevators into Air Force One ...

I'm an Aussie who went to Old Trafford in 1984 to watch the Windies play England ... most fun I've ever had at a sporting event.

I'm pretty sure I need an eye check. Thought I just saw someone on the nightly news coverage carrying a cross - Jesus-like - into the Charlie Kirk memorial?

Extraordinary to watch those faux christians pouring into the Charlie Kirk memorial - clearly travelling distances for it - yet the same people will simply blink and get an inbred rellie to pass the grits while they turn a blind eye to kids getting bombed in Gaza.

Good Night From The Drummer, My Friends. Sleep Tight.

Seriously, this Goebbels doppelganger embodies everything I hate about politics.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Clearly the first amendment can now be boiled down to : free speech for everyone unless you disagree with me.

Amazing to think how much his 'image' has been manipulated too. Some believe him to be simply a murderer, others a freedom fighter for the downtrodden. For mine, a victim of his times.

One of Australia's most iconic figures - top 5 surely - but makes you wonder if he would have been consigned to history's dustbin if not for the armour.

Politics aside, it's incredible to think that there are people out there that actually believe Trump has more gravitas than Obama

So, the first amendment is an inalienable right until such time as someone disagrees with you?

"Someone else's neck" ... absolutely nailed it Fugitive!

Ironic isn't it. This parody video aside, so many people my age pine for the 'good old days', yet they'll support the lies and obfuscation - and downright gaslighting - from Trump and his cronies. Don't blame the "kids of today" when 'yesterday' is dickhead central.

One of the best GOP impersonations ever?

As a kid growing up, I idolised my big brother. The US has, for decades, been Australia's big brother but now the term is more Orwellian than admirable.

That's what gets me about the States : lauds its military strength and role in past and present engagements, yet standby and let that turd mock people like John McCain?

I think most of us would go with Option C!

“Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times." The great honor?? Makes you wonder how different the world would be if the tangerine turd had returned to school after lunch on the 2nd day.

This should be played over & over & over. The level of hypocrisy is stratospheric. Charlie Kirk has been given wall-to-wall coverage, yet it was only after he was shot that I even heard of Melissa Hortman and her husband being killed. Two wrongs don't make a right, but two rights are often wrong!

Thanks for that Bill : I'll check that out later.

It's a tough gig but they don't do 'opposition' very well do they ... I would have thought the next election in Victoria would be a walk in for the Libs but what a rabble that mob is.

I reckon we could live briefly with the Sheridans and Robinsons of this world if the payout was never seeing the mango mongrel on our screens ever again!

Good on you - thanks for that Bill ... Robert did humanity a great service. Kinda surprised that the remote has been around as long as me! Can't remember them being in widespread use - at least here in Oz - until well into the 70s though?

😂 That's very specific : hope your ex isn't a subscriber to BlueSky!! All jokes aside ... public speaking - special skill 👏

I only ever wrote for a very small, specific audience but word choice was always a reminder that I just wasn't going through the motions, eg. changing names to protect the innocent, so to speak. As for public speaking, I dips me lid sir ... I'm terrible at it!!

Mate, that look is truly undercover - would have been a more effective detective than Sonny Crockett any day of the week 😆 Know what you mean though - would like to say we've improved as a species but not so sure!

When I was writing a bit I would agonise for ages over the use of this word or that, knowing full well that the reader wouldn't think twice 😀

Never truer words spoken!
