If I was Trump's lawyer, I'd plead innocent on grounds of mental incapacity. He'd probably get off all charges, but be institutionalised for the Epstein issues?

Trump says the Iran war is won! But the IRGC says it will continue the war that Trump and Netanyahu started. Will Trump be satisfied with his multi-billion dollar distraction if Iran refuses to submit? Will he accept the same regime, harder line with legitimate grudge, that remains in power.

Can't Witkoff solve the US-Israel-Iran war with a trillion dollar real estate deal?

So Australia is again sending RAAF personnel, planes and missiles to the Middle East, to protect autocratic money-laundering allies of the US? WHY? Have we not yet learned not to trust America? Iran will be so much worse than Iraq!

The same old story surfaces again! Trump is a Pedophile, a rapist, a convicted felon, a multiple bankrupt, a liar... yes! We know all that - that's why Americans elected him! To keep American values safe??

I suspect what US considers as complimentary ... words like badass and motherfucker... are regarded in Europe as ridiculously vulgar and inept? What actually do they mean? Is it a cultural thing?

I'd rather watch Vegemite ads than Gambling ads!

Not even a Trump owned SCOTUS could decide against clear provisions of the Constitution... could they?? I mean that's their only job, to defend the sacred Constitution!. It just might take them a year to make that decicision.

You'd think that after more than a thousand years of monotheistic conflict (apologies to Buddhists), we would have learnt something? At least Catholics have settled down and Protestantism has almost evaporated, but sects of Judaism and sects of Islam are still fighting each other and themselves?

"USS Gerald R. Ford expands US military presence and pressure on Iran." Polls are so low, midterms in peril... Let's start a war in the Middle East? Or South America. Nigeria, Syria... wherever! With Hegseth, Kushner and Witkoff in charge we can win the election and rule the world! Worked for Bush?

Thiel says that Palantir "is dedicated to the service of the West and the United States of America". They provide targets for ICE and IDF! Which is more than a worry, considering Palantir's penetration of UK Health and Defence! What more sensitive data does a soveriegn nation possess?

Have you seen the latest Qld Govt PR ads? Combatting bullying in schools - by appointing more pastors!! Solving the housing crisis - by assisting real estate developers!! But what did we expect from the LNP?

I heard that by weakening Qld gun laws, Chrisafuli was kow-towing to the Australian gun lobby? I thought that Chrisafuli and mates WERE the Australian gun lobby!

So the Pentagon is relying on AI to help plan operations like the Maduro snatch. Is Artificial Intelligence better than Hegseth Intelligence?

Thanks to Herzog's visit to Melbourne, I learn that the federal government pledged $31 million towards rebuilding the Adass Israel synagogue last year. WHY? And where does that money come from?

Now mainstream media is owned by the oligarchs who blame msm for their lack of credibility and integrity, they might realise no-one is listening anymore?

Crisafulli is squeezing every drop of blood he can from the Bondi shooting (sorry... terror attack?) Banning the words "from the river to the sea". Banning guns - except for Australian citizens... with exemptions for "sporting shooters and workers, such as primary producers". So who else has guns?

Queensland could become the first state in Australia to outlaw the phrase “from the river to the sea” So describing a trip from Brisbane to Wynnum will make me liable to a jail sentence? Is this ridiculous curtailment of free speech linked to the visit of the Israeli President/genocide promoter?

Why are the US tv programs, movies, drama sold to Australia, all about law enforcement (Bad Guys, Good Cops), violence, drugs, exploitative sex, bad language? I guess because American culture is cheaper?

AI can be so useful in research. Now it is on my PC, curating my news, dominating my social media algorithms: there it should be called by another name. Artificial - YES: Intelligence - NO! Any suggestions?

The only way Americans will ever become great again, is if they sue the Trump family for the billions of dollars that has been stolen from them, and tax the billionaires? That would require more than Minnesota bravery - it would need a complete renovation of American politics, justice and culture!

Americans have a clear choice, next year! Vote for an incompetent and grossly corrupt GOP.. or vote for the other party, less indebted to 'donors'? God help y'all!

Our sacred Constitution requires the balance of power; the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court are co-equal, independent and not corrupt. None of these necessary conditions are true in 2026. The Constitution is thus rendered useless, obsolete, irrelevant. Viva the Trump dictatorship?

"While having fun isn’t against the law, damaging a dune or removing vegetation from one is a serious offence under Queensland’s Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995." Not having fun is Yahoo Australia's take on environmental destruction? F off America! Keep ruining your own country first.

FIFA allocates World Cup venues on the basis of revenue! Trump accepts honours on the same basis. Boycott corruption, wherever it is! Mexico has problems with drugs to US and guns from US, and is less corrupt! Let's go to Mexico and/or Canada and cancel the whole FIFA pretend Peace shitshow?

How much did it cost the US military to seize the $500m of Venezuelan oil that went into Trump's Qatar account? Why was the US navy removed from its post in the Middle East and unable to respond to the Iran crackdown (as Trump promised).

It's so unfortunate that abbreviating BlueSky to BS gives entirely the wrong impression!

I have a problem with Copilot. Using Google Chrome as prefered browser, watching YouTube, I get a news drop-down, which I confess I read during YT adverts. Most of it is pro-Musk, pro-Trump. When sourced, the news is often from Fox or Truth Social! And Google wants me to use Copilot as an AI aide?

"Georgia Lawmakers Move to Strike Savannah Ban on Guns in Unlocked Cars" source, Southern Patriot. What is wrong with Americans, that it is deemed acceptable/lawful to leave guns in unlocked cars? That anyone feels it's necessary to carry a legally concealed gun to a confrontational protest?

You know what Americans are REALLY good at? It's saying we SHOULD be able to... resist ICE? have health care like every other country? have an inquiring education? make guns and serious drugs illegal (and prosecuted - not pardoned!) be able to change our government, like a democracy?

Last year I thought that one third of American voters were stupid, one third apathetic, and one third unenthusiastic about the alternative. Now the scale of corruption in govt has been revealed, the role that money plays in primaries, I'm surprised anyone voted at all!

It seems that supporters of members of the Israeli Govt indicted for war crimes will be afforded protection under proposed Australian 'hate speech' legislation that protesters against Gazan genocide would be denied? Is that fair or even constitutional?

Musk has warned people not to use ChatGPT because of links to youth suicide. Altman has warned of fatal Grok-related Tesla crashes, but has not yet raised the AI pornography issues. Do we need more data centres to make the future safe?

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

The trouble with talking to America from Australia is that they are always 15hours behind!

Is Trump secreting proceeds of hundreds of millions of dollars from pirated oil in Quatar - beyond Treasury reach - as contingency against mid-term cancellation and possible civil war? He's certainly mad enough to conceive a plan with no thought of consequence other than personal profit.

Who could have imagined that Minnesota would have become famous because of ICE?

I've been on BlueSky a year now, and conclude the most sensible people I know seem mostly to be grandmothers?

Redaction is the Republican mode of communication.

If anyone knows the persons who gatecrashed my party in North Hobart in 1964 could they please beg them for return of a 45 single... "Why Little Girl" by Shane Fenton and the Fentones? (The other records they can keep - they were mostly my sister's.)

So Trump is going to "run Venezuela"? Through Maduro's VP? Why Is Trump ignoring the pro-US Venezuelan Opposition leader Maria Machado? Because she won the Nobel Peace Prize that Trump so wanted?

2/ Do American schools teach history and geography, or just US presidents and States? 3/ Do Americans think a Trump peace will benefit US or just Trump? (+ Kushner & Witkoff families)

I am looking to Bluesky to give me some feedback, because I no longer trust US media. 1/ Do Americans really believe that Ukraine should give up Donbass and Crimea for a US-mediated peace? Do Americans know where Donbass or Crimea are, or their historical and economic significance?

I suppose it is too late to prosecute CIA for trading heroin to America for military support in Vietnam?

Message to Hegseth: 100,000 Americans died because they bought and used drugs, not because some narco-terrorist or Trinidadian fisherman sold them the drugs they wanted!

Of all Trump's 'peace deals', the one I find most problematic (aren't they all?) is the proposal to give away someone else's sovereign territory, with out consultation, to an aggressor, in exchange for potential oil and mineral rights. Not for American advantage, but for personal enrichment!

So Trump has threatened to close Venezuelan air-space? Is that a declaration of war? Oh I see? It saved Bush! Americans get all patriotic if there's a war - even if they don't why they are fighting.

So Trump has banned RSA from the G20 in Miami next year? Because?? Because Trump boycotted 2025 G20 on basis of a fake right-wing conspiracy claiming "white settler genocide" RSA refused to hand over the 'gavel' to a junior US diplomat sent to receive it on Trump's behalf.

To pardon turkeys, to celebrate the rescue from starvation of early settlers by the hospitality of local indigenous tribes, later themselves slaughtered, seems the epitome of hypocrisy of USA today? Why don't Americans get irony?
