Remember Australia's
#watergate
scandal? (Water rights bought back for $80m, but little water received.) Property involved owned by relatives of Angus Taylor, LNP Energy minister at the time. Deal signed off by Barnaby Joyce (Nats), LNP Ag minister at the time. More fun stuff below:

For some time, I've posed 5 ways to fight fascism: 3.5% of a population in the streets. Peeling off 4 people in the Senate or 8 people in the House. Rescuing GOP from a predictable catastrophe. Fighting Trump in the courts. Winning in 2026. Peeling off is really important.

Note: HJC members played two different clips of Kash Patel lying about Epstein (number of times Trump's name appears, whether there was evidence of other men trafficking women). And as that's happening, Marimar Martinez' attorney is calling out Patel's lies for calling her a terrorist.

I noted the same thing. The single Border Patrol Goon who turned his bodycam on--the guy in the back seat--claimed they were all on. Marimar's shooter, Charles Exum, never turned his BWC on.

The sole redeeming feature of Bondi, if you can call it that, is someone a few years older than me looks STUPENDOUS, and to the extent that it's thru plastic, she has not adopted the MAL look. But she IS looking increasingly tired.

One big point here: There are a shit-ton of famous people. But just as important people like Marimar are making the govt pay for daring to accuse HER of being the terrorist in the shooting she survived.

I said a year ago Trump was not choosing political martyrs wisely and not accounting for what tools defendants are accorded. I want to triple down on that. I think we're about to see revenge of the defendants--starting with Marimar Martinez. Marimar is a Montessori teacher. And holy hell, a hero!
