Republican lawmakers prefer to remain soulless lackeys collecting money and power by supporting Trump. But they've got to see disaster ahead as he becomes ever more mentally unhinged. He's now predicting that if Canada cuts a trade deal with China, the Chinese will BAN HOCKEY IN CANADA.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

It’s important to realise the NSW Police are doing their jobs exactly as instructed by the Police Commissioner (Mal Lanyon) who in turn is following orders from the Police Minister (Yasmin Catley) who is doing what the Premier (Chris Minns) has asked him to do.
You can't spell "social cohesion" without the letters / actions in "fascism"

As Trump is the head of the Republican party he not only speaks for the party but this is clearly the position of Republicans as members of the party.
If it wasn’t their position their only tenable option is to resign from the party.

So the PM wants us to believe that "healing" and "social cohesion" after the Bondi massacre will be best achieved by the state visit of someone who is not only a genocide enthusiast,
but is allegedly an associate of Epstein's.

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.
It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

The decline of the Washington Post appears, at best, self inflicted. At worst, it was by design.
The explicit change in editorial position cost it readership and subscribers.
But also, it’s not like Bezos lacks money.
