Is this a coincidence? Trump's 'slush fund' is $1.776B. What major event happened in 1776 on July 4? Any numerologists out there looking at the connection?

I looked at Pete Hegseth and from a certain angle he looked like a Neanderthal man. I can't unsee it. I now refer to him as Lok!

I just had to look up Trump's latest inappropriate comment to Macron because even after watching the video clip several times I could not work out what Trump was saying. It was slurred to the point of being incoherent. Why am I surprised?

Watching the news coverage of No Kings protests on CNN from overseas, I flipped to Fox news during a break to see what they were reporting. I was just in time to hear the celebrities (including Bruce Springsteen) being ridiculed for being irrelevant because of their age.

Delighted that Aotearoa New Zealand has made the right decision. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1k...

Beyond disgusted to learn that Trump and his cronies refuse to commemorate World Aids Day. Disgusted but not surprised. It just gets worse.

Reading Trump's Truth Social post (trashing Mamdani) I am puzzled by the part that reads "...as a Communist, this once great city has ZERO chance of success..." That is taking personification to extremes! (And yes. I am a compulsive grammarian.)

Just curious. I may not be a mathematician but it is hard to grasp how Trump is going to lower the price of some medications by several hundred %. Does that mean people can buy them and get some free cash as well?

Why does JD Vance always look so disapproving?! He seems incapable of smiling. That is, when he deigns to appear at all.

#Pinks #ProudBlue You are exactly correct #JasmineCrockett - it HAS got to be stopped 💯

IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!

Why is Trump often interviewed on board his aircraft? He looks as though he needs the door frame to prop himself up, and the sound quality is dreadful. Thank goodness for subtitles!

Why does the term quisling keep coming to mind? 😡

A favourite wardrobe item in Aotearoa New Zealand is the jandal, also called a thong. It is designed for casual footwear on the beach or in other informal settings. The jandal consists of a rubber or synthetic sole and a thin upper thong that fits between the toes.

Did I really just hear that on CNN? Gershon Baskin saying that Trump is the ONLY person who can bring about a resolution in the Gaza conflict, something that will ensure he gets his Nobel Prize?

Conversation between me (Aotearoa New Zealand) and my New York cousin. Me: Dreadful headline. A child has been murdered in the next street here. Cousin: Time to worry when news like that no longer makes the front page.

It was fascinating to watch the body language of Mike Johnson as he and Trump were promoting the Big Ugly Bill. Johnson alternated between gazing adoringly at his Idol and nodding his head seriously as he listened attentively to the Idol's utterances.

Listening to Trump and just wondering... If he is transphobic and objects to the use of chosen pronouns, why does he then refer to "WE" rather than "I" when talking about something he has done/will do? Either this is the royal WE from a wannabe king or there is something he is not telling us!

Must read story.

Listening to Tiffany Smiley on CNN explain that Joe Biden does not need security clearance because of his age. The implication being that Trump is a youngster?

Anyone out there who knows Brittney and Donk and all the good work they've bringing people to BlueSky PLEASE REPOST!!

In a civilised debate, the ultimate put down is to point at the opposition to drive home a point. Vance did this constantly while berating Zelenskyy. Trump did it too. And they call Zelenskyy disrespectful!

🇦🇺🇺🇦🇳🇿Australia and New Zealand have imposed the largest package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, targeting 70 individuals and 79 organisations. ♥️THANK YOU AUSTRALIA ♥️THANK YOU NEW ZEALAND

We must always stand with our trans friends, and all marginalized communities! Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ Evil must not be allowed to prevail! My dear friend Patti put together a list of allies, & it’s never been more important for us all to unite. Please follow these remarkable people.

Here is my blueprint for the latest Dan Brown novel. Except it will not be a novel... 1 The Pope, who has a huge Catholic following worldwide, condemns Donald Trump for his actions towards immigrants and his general xenophobia.

www.huffpost.com/entry/new-yo... New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney introduced a bill to make Trump’s birthday a federal holiday.

Utah governor signs collective bargaining ban for teachers, firefighters and police unions apnews.com/article/utah...

Who is JD Vance? I seem to have heard that name somewhere in the distant past...

This is wonderful. Written four years ago but still very relevant groups.google.com/g/usaafricad...

Does Trump know how to smile?

This is what appeared in the New Zealand news media in response to Trump's attempt to claim that the Americans split the atom. People in this country are not happy about his inability to tell the truth. Rutherford is a national hero here - unlike Trump! www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/539...

Why am I surprised that Trump has selected racist, mysogynistic, antisemitic, cancer cure "expert" Mel Gibson to be one of his ambassadors? It makes perfect sense.

I just listened to Joe Biden's eulogy to Jimmy Carter. It was beautiful. It was all about Carter. No subversive political statements, no making it about his own agenda. It was just spoken from the heart of a close friend who was sad that they would never again share time together.

And I certainly won't follow back those who are advertising financial offers or other dubious enterprises. I also will not follow back anyone with no profile and no posts to date. What do others think?

I joined Bluesky to read posts that align with my own values, interests, etc and to comment where appropriate. That is the reason I check out every new follower or suggestion before following back. I don't want to chat one on one as I don't have the time.

Whenever I hear DOGE mentioned I automatically think it is a reference to the former officials in Venice or Genoa. But no, that is impossible. DOGE means leader in Italian (from the Latin DUX), so it definitely has no application under Trump's leadership. Besides, it was never a job share.

Watching with horror the Sky News coverage of the Adass Israel synagogue fire in Melbourne. We think we are safe from terrorism in Australia and New Zealand but that is not the case.

A few years ago two Christchurch mosques were attacked and over 50 people murdered. One wonders where all this hate comes from.
