Einstein said to Chaplin:“What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!” "It’s true”,replied Chaplin.“But your fame is even greater: the world admires you,when nobody understands what you say" - Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin,1931

Is any leader of a Western democracy going to condemn this aggression from the US? This is yet again a crime committed by the military under the direction of trump

Running man was on TV last night, in its imagined dystopia, a soldier refuses an illegal order. Through media manipulation, he is portrayed as a criminal and forced into trial by combat. This dystopia future some 40 years in the future was 2025. Make of that what you will.

Nation Senator Wears Joy Division Burqa to Parliament Opposition Leader Sussan Ley says Pauline Hanson has crossed a line by arriving in Parliament today wearing a burqa featuring a Joy Division “Unknown Pleasures” screen print.

It seems people are more concerned with the Trump blew Bubba part and not the Putin blackmailed president part of the same sentence. I don't care who Bubba is. The question is, did the president sell out the US to prevent it from coming out?

What will it take? Caught with a smoking gun in your hand having just shot the owner of the smoking gun store?

Wormtongue himself couldn't have said it better.

Well played Jacob Davison, well played indeed

Not normal. I can remember visiting new York and seeing how heavily armed the police were, and that was confronting. This is a private militia walking around in the "home of the free" tinpot dictatorship level stuff

It would be a compelling image if she showed up anyway and forced him to refuse to seat her for the cameras. These people who claim to have God in their hearts are completely amoral

ICE will lose any support they have left if food delivery is affected. What is the quote? Better a thousand immigrants remain unvictimised than a single fat white guy can't get taco bell at any time of the day or night

Well put

Reverse Midas at this point. Tesla tanking. X tanking. Starlink is a market leader but everyone else is catching up fast.

ABC should be ashamed to have given this US security expert on to air his views on guns. We don't owe a platform to people like this.

War crimes are very in fashion, right now. Time for him to take a run at the liberal leadership

Ben Roberts-Smith is a war criminal

Did Hastie just empathise with the sovereign citizenship nutter who killed 2 cops and injured another? Or am I just short on sleep. #Auspol

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08... Good old ABC. The headline says tens of thousands nationwide and the article lists 200k or more.

Hobart is out in massive numbers for Palestine. Hard to get a photo to show the scale. Largest ever in my lifetime

Way to find the right argument and make the wrong conclusion. It is precisely because it is political that politicians should not decide. It is absolutely the job of the court to make unbiased decisions. A terribly out of touch man is Tony

Someone asked me today about my plans for the Fall and it took me a moment to realize she meant my plans for the Autumn and not the collapse of civilization.

I missed this one, but it is magnificent. #auspol #Gaza #Genocide

So Trump expected 200k for his military parade. His press department said 250k everyone else said 8-10K. 35K show up to a christmas pageant in Hobart where the scouts have a camp set up on the back of a truck. We all had images of the 3rd riech in our heads. 3rd rate riech. #auspol

Toronto has a Santa Claus parade every year that looks to be about 5x the size and attendance of that thing. Didn't realize we were flexing our military supremacy at the time.

ABC news is being highly selective with images of both the Trump military parade and the no kings protests across the US. So far, of all the images of no kings protests available, they have shown the same shot of 8 people standing on a planter box to get a good view. #Auspol

Now that disgusting right wing loon Steve Bannon has called for Musk to be investigated and deported as he believes he is an illegal alien. Life Imitates Art 😂😂😂

OMG Biridget McKenzie on 7:30, railing against battery storage systems because they might catch fire is fine with shovelling coal into the furnace. Why is 7:30 giving voice to this small-minded bullshit #auspol

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

Albo's May Won landslide election Knocked off the leader of the opposition Knocked off the leader of the green's Knocked over a political alliance that has stood since 1923 Met the pope #auspol

Save Elmo!

What is with the greens suddenly discovering how preferences work. Every single greens MP initially won their seat by finishing second on primary and getting through on preferences. Some of them proved themselves in the first term and had more decisive wins. You live by the sword

James patterson just referred to Trump as a centre right politician on 7:30. The entirety of us politics is right, and he is to the right of that. #AusPol

My job is to represent and help the Clark community, & I reckon my strong vote shows that I’m achieving that. Thank you voters for putting your trust in me again. I’ll do my best to not let you down, including by tackling the difficult issues the big parties run from. #auspol #politas

My take on last night’s extraordinary result www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

🤣😆🙃⭐️ #binnight

The LNP has ceased to be the party of Menzies. It is the party of Murdoch … And it has been thoroughly rejected by the Australian people. #auspol #BinNight

An accurate representation of James McGrath on election night 2025 #BinNight #AusVotes2025

I find it telling that in directing tonight's results, pundits cited nuclear, taxation and trumpesque culture wars. Nobody wants to bring up the fact that Dutton decided to make the voice referendum a binary political issue for short term gain. Winning the battle and losing the war. #BinNight

Wow, just wow - Mr Dutton is gone! #ausvotes #binNight #auspol

Wait for the pre polls. It will be much worse after pre polls #BinNight

I need a beer #auspol #BinNight

I think 10:45 is the earliest I have got to bed on election night. We could have concession at 9, victory at 9:15 an awkward 30 min of the lib pundits saying its not that bad in bed by 9:45. #BinNight

Antony Green calls it at 8:30. #BinNight more like the red wedding.

I just learned WA has a new electorate called Bullwinkle.
