That’s the mesmeric hold that you Yanks have over the rest of us.

Smoke just came out of Trump’s ears.

But of course backwards that would be a man, a plan, a canal, pafot pecnoc, a namnoca.

Yes, thank you for the nuance. I think it would be by no means clear-cut. Anyone who is the president of the USA has enormous power. But so does anyone who is the richest human in history. Ordering popcorn now…

Waddya mean? We are ridding ourselves of god through philosophy just as much as science. The primacy of the scientific explanation for the origins of the world has not rendered philosophy meaningless.

Post of the Year!

And then he’ll have the world’s richest person waging all out-war on him for the remainder of his term.

Trump won by grafting the moral universe of pro wrestling onto a presidential election. Sadly the electorate was revved up for it and devoured it willingly. When a winning majority in the world’s most powerful nation is now demonstrably lapping up this sort of shit, the world is in big...

Um, you've got that arse-around. The obligation is not to disprove something yet to be proven.

Show us where Dutton has not grabbed a chance to go low. "Statesmanlike" and "Dutton". Yeah nah, two words you don't see together for a reason.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/21/americans-trust-supreme-court Not to mention this. America is ****ed and the gutless Dems share a lot of the blame.

What in Dutton’s track record suggest to you he’s above that?

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/21/aoc-centrist-politics-democrats-change So, I guess in 2028 it’s going to be President JD Vance? Can’t see the Dems providing any non-laughable option at this point.

Who can say. The received wisdom is they just pressured her till she caved, and they'd only spent (IIRC) $20 million from a budget of $100 mil, saving themselves many billions in tax. But only Gillard could say what decided it for her.

LOL.

No but they can mount another relentless, and apparently endless anti-government ad campaign until the government falls and a more compliant mob (gee, I wonder who that could be?) are installed.

Hmmm… They had plenty of time to correct the decision not to support universities, so that was just plain ideologically-driven vindictiveness.

For a start, not capricious, pedantic, mercurial, vain, petty and contradictory like the Christian god.

Well yes. It's a complete joke. "They are barely pretending these days, or perhaps it is truer to say they are pretending even harder." Michael West Media again: https://michaelwest.com.au/peter-pan-duttons-nuclear-neverland-adventure-a-fantastical-media-snowjob/

https://michaelwest.com.au/channeling-trump-dark-motives-behind-duttons-gaza-dog-whistle/ Very good (if poorly edited) piece by Michael Pascoe.

And I'm certain a few other fans would tell those fans they're being dickheds. Sheesh like I said a while back, it's hard to imagine a more generous, kind-hearted gesture than the welcome to country, after what indigenous Australians have been subjected to since 1788. Hard to see how anyone...

This. Titus O'Reily's book "Please Gamble Irresponsibly" (about the depressing saga of sports gambling in Australia) opens with the story of a (from memory) Victorian regional cricket team which found itself the subject of massive international gambling interest, with huge consequences.

With eight fresh charges brought against him, bringing the total to thirty four, the floodgates are clearly opening. Why now? I can only conclude it’s because the only thing ever protecting Alan Jones was the immense power of his radio show. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if for once the Tony...

It's all so terribly internet.

If it leads to changes, there's some positive to be gained from the whole sorry saga. Sadly, our increasingly individualistic society doesn't take to kindly to reigning in out-of-control egos, even when they're clearly causing much misery and damage.

Oh well at least that bunkum belief wasn't completely wasted!

And what a silly belief that was. A good example of the utter bunkum that underpins most religion.

Yep, so painfully unoriginal. Dutton is a man of very limited imagination yet already a lot of commentary is like he's some sort of political wonderboy.

Has The Guardian called for the compulsory collectivisation of all agriculture has it? I must have missed that.

“Divisive” is rarely examined, and has simply become a cudgel word. How exactly does displaying the flag of the people that occupied this land for tens of thousands of years “divide” us, Peter Dutton? What exact insult to the heart does it strike us with? These are the questions the press...
