Absolutely. You would have to be as thick as Trump not to have noticed that the society portrayed in The Handmaid's Tale is being ruthlessly pursued by a bunch of so-called Christians who have perverted the Christian message beyond recognition. Poor education, in my not so humble opinion!

Clearly Grim is a half-wit. He should be embarrassed to believe in a moron, with no policies except for sucking up to the truly rich. Enough tax concessions and they might allow him to come to dinner, sometime. Of course, they would have to serve burgers, because Fatso doesn't eat normal food.

It is high summer in Australia, and we have just been graced with our annual visit from the Gang Gang Cockatoos. Here is a picture of one. The male is often thought to be the one having a "bad hair day". Females are more demure, grey all over. Their call has been described as like a squeaky door.

Oxfam said only 12 out of the 34 trucks of food and water allowed to enter north Gaza over the last 10 weeks had managed to distribute aid to starving Palestinian civilians because of “deliberate delays and systematic obstructions” by the Israeli military. #palestiniangenocide

Seriously, again, how dumb is Trump?
And why has his extraordinary stupidity fallen off the radar during his third run for the presidency?

the superb blue wren, a charming tiny Eastern Australian bird. The males develop the blue colouring as they mature; before maturity they are a light brown

Most of Australia still gobsmacked that Americans actually voted for Trump. You seem to be in for a four year hell. One thing we Australians sort of resent, but have come to value, is compulsory voting. It weeds out the crazies!
