Historians will judge the moment of demolition of the East Wing portico of the White House to accommodate more floor space over a garden was when Donald Trump truly became an Australian

This new love for Oz muscle car manufacturing from the weirdo right is pretty funny. Apart from the obvious that they were the ones that killed it because they thought integrated industrial supply chains as a sovereign capability sounded communist, these dicks wouldn't survive three days driving one

The latest on my Facebook war against advanced Australia is that people are now claiming that Labor opening the Australian car market to world competition was socialism. I guess you just can’t overestimate the stupidity of some people. #auspol

I'm a solicitor. Too many people make the mistake of not recording anything during redundancy procedures. Many redundancies do not follow the correct legal procedures, but unless you're recording everything you have no way to prove it in a tribunal. HR are not your friends.

Historians are going to have a field day in the future writing about how 2 western democracies America and Israel imploded by destroying the very principals they were founded on. The comparisons with incompetent, corrupt, greedy and crazy Roman emperors and their mates clinging to power is clear.

The US is like a huge ocean liner that has been rotting out underneath and the passengers don't know it yet. Just cruising along, "too big to fail," while water has been seeping in below, throughout the entire journey.
The captain & crew have an escape plan, and this final trip was one huge grift.

Israel won't be happy until the ME is a sea of nuclear glassed landscape. Then the survivors will squeal that they were right, the world always shits on them, find some obscure text about a forgotten holy land promised by God in another country and demand we pay for the move.

I am quite happy with Trump taking in all those poor white South African white refugees.
Because when they come to Australia they vote for the RW nutbags and drongos we already have far too many of.
So a real win win for OZ in that trade fight.
